Skoda Kamiq Engine Error

My 2023 Skoda Kamiq with a gasoline engine is showing an error. The engine light is on, and I get an error message on both the infotainment system and the speedometer. I suspect it might be incorrect vehicle coding.

I had a similar issue with my BMW 3 Series. Kept getting an engine light and error messages. Have you tried using a diagnostic scanner to read the OBD-II codes? It might give you a better idea of which control module is throwing the error. In my case, it pointed to a coding error after a software installation.

So, the diagnostic scanner confirmed a coding error? Did you attempt to reset codes or try any other troubleshooting steps before taking it in?

Yes, the diagnostic scanner specifically indicated a coding issue with one of the modules. I tried to reset codes, but the error reappeared immediately. Given that, and the symptoms you describe, it's probably best to have a workshop recode the affected module. They'll have the right tools and software to ensure it's done correctly.

Thanks for the help. Took it to the shop and you were spot on. Incorrect coding was the issue. Cost 360€ to resolve.
