Ractis error messages and coding issue

I've got a 2006 Toyota Ractis with a gasoline engine that's throwing up errors. The car has done 85940 km. I'm seeing an error stored in the error memory, plus error messages popping up on the infotainment system and the speedometer. I suspect it might be related to incorrect vehicle coding. Has anyone else experienced this?

I've got a Ractis too, and that sounds familiar. Was it a check engine light situation or something else? When I had similar symptoms - error message + error memory - it turned out to be a glitch in the software that the onboard diagnostics system (OBD-II) couldn't quite interpret. Did you use a scan tool?

It wasn't a check engine light specifically. I did use a scan tool; it pointed towards a coding issue, but I'm not sure where to start looking for a fix. What exactly was the issue in your case?

The scan tool pointing to coding sounds right. Mine was doing the same thing - weird errors, but nothing specific lighting up. Honestly, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop with the right diagnostic equipment. Saved me a lot of headache.

Appreciate the insight. Took your advice and went to a workshop. Turns out the vehicle coding was indeed incorrect. Recoding sorted it out; cost me 360€ Thanks again!
