Cheers for the reply! Yeah, I tried resetting the codes with my scan tool multiple times, but the engine light and the errors keep coming back almost immediately. Is there anything specific you did with your Opel to fix it, or did you just keep resetting the codes until it went away?

No worries! Unfortunately, just resetting the codes didn't solve my Opel problem either. Think of it like a computer that needs a fresh install of the operating system. The underlying problem was still there. In the end, I had to take it to a workshop, and they confirmed it needed a proper recoding. It's probably best to take your Paceman to a specialist. They can properly diagnose and fix the coding issue.

Just got the Paceman back from the shop. Turns out the car's computer needed a proper re-coding. They cleared the fault codes, and the engine light is finally gone. Cost me 360€, but at least the malfunction indicator isn't glaring at me anymore. Glad I had a scan tool to point me in the right direction, even if I couldn't fix it myself.

That sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my Opel a while back. Engine light kept popping up, along with error messages on the dash. I used a scan tool and it was spitting out random fault codes. Have you tried to reset codes using your OBD-II scanner? Maybe it's just a glitch.
