Skoda Kamiq Engine Control Malfunction

My 2021 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine is showing an engine control malfunction. The engine won't start. Initial diagnostics suggest bad cable connections on the battery, but it could be an ECU issue. Has anyone else experienced this?

A 2021 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine displayed an engine control malfunction and wouldn't start. Initial diagnostics pointed to bad cable connections on the battery, but there was also concern about a potential ECU issue. After confirming and addressing the loose battery cable connections by cleaning and tightening them, the problem was resolved, and the check engine light turned off.

That sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my Kamiq where the engine wouldn't start. Did the check engine light illuminate? Have you inspected the fuel injection system?

The check engine light is on. The fuel injection appears fine initially. What was the specific issue with your Kamiq? Were there any engine stalling symptoms?

Yes, the check engine light was on. In my case, it was a loose battery cable connection. The engine diagnostics displayed several errors related to fuel injection and the ECU, but the shop indicated it was due to the voltage dropping too low during startup because of the poor connection. I suggest having it inspected.

Confirmed the battery cable connections were the problem. After cleaning and tightening, everything is working. The check engine light is off. The total cost was 155€. Thanks for the advice!
