Partner fault memory lock

I have a 2021 Peugeot Partner with a gasoline engine. It has 245233 km and is showing an active fault memory lock. An error is stored within the error memory, preventing certain functionalities. Any ideas?

Sounds like undervoltage issues I had a while back. The ECU in these vans is sensitive. If the battery voltage drops too low, even momentarily, it can trigger a fault memory lock. The fault codes you're seeing are a result of the ECU detecting the undervoltage. Have you checked your battery's health and the charging system?

When you say 'battery health', are you suggesting a simple voltage test, or is there a specific diagnostic procedure you would recommend to accurately assess the battery's condition and rule out any potential charging system malfunctions?

A simple voltage test can give you a basic idea, but ideally, you'd want a proper load test to see how the battery performs under stress. Given the 'memory lock' issue, it's likely related to undervoltage. It might be best to have a workshop check the system as in the end you will need to delete the error messages. They can perform a thorough diagnostic and clear the fault codes correctly.

I consulted a workshop. As you suspected, the issue was attributed to undervoltage, resulting in the fault memory lock. The repair, including diagnostics, battery check, and fault code clearance, cost 240€.
