Yes, I used a scan tool. The fault code pointed towards an issue with vehicle coding. Did your Opel Astra also point to a coding problem?

Yes, the scan tool also indicated a coding issue on my Astra. Turns out, some module had been incorrectly configured. It's likely a workshop visit is necessary; they have the proper tools to recode the vehicle. Don't just reset codes, as the error will likely reappear.

Spot on. The workshop confirmed incorrect coding. Diagnostics and recoding cost 360€, but the malfunction indicator is off and the error messages are gone. Thanks for the help.

Sounds frustrating. I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra, though the fault code was different. Did you use a scan tool to check the specific fault code? Knowing that might give you more clues before you try to reset codes.
