Saxo OBD2 Readiness Error

Hey, I've got a 2001 Citroen Saxo diesel with about 223654 km on it. I'm getting an incomplete system readiness check, error in memory, and a message on the speedometer. I used an OBD2 tool recently, and I'm wondering if that's the cause. Anyone else had this after using one of those?

Could be the OBD2 tool. Sometimes they mess with the system monitors. Is the car driving any differently, or just the error message?

Car seems fine, no change in performance or fuel. Just worried about the error and inspections. Think it's just a software thing, or something more serious?

If it drives okay, it's probably a glitch from the OBD2. Try driving it a bit, some monitors need specific cycles to complete. But to be sure, a workshop check is best. I had similar on my old Peugeot, reset fixed it.

Took it to a local workshop like you said. They confirmed it was a software glitch from the OBD2 thing. They cleared the error, and the system readiness check is all good now. They didn't even charge me. Thanks for the help!
