Skoda Scala Alarm System Problems

I'm getting annoyed. My 2020 Skoda Scala diesel is having issues with its additional battery alarm system. Mileage is at 192006 km. There's an error stored, and the alarm system is dead. I'm guessing the alarm system battery is bad, but I'm not sure. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had a similar alarm system issue with my Scala. That error message was annoying! Have you checked your car battery voltage? A weak battery can cause weird electrical issues. Also, by 'error memory', do you mean a diagnostic scan?

Okay, if the main car battery is healthy and the scan points to the alarm system's power, it's likely the small battery for the alarm system. It happened to me. The system diagnosis flagged a faulty additional battery. I'd recommend getting it checked at a workshop; they can confirm it with a battery test and replace it. I had it done.

Thanks for the quick reply! I did a scan with an OBD reader and it showed an error related to the alarm system's power supply. The car battery seems fine, starts the car without issues. You mentioned a similar issue... was it also related to a weak car battery, or something else?

Just letting you know, it was the additional alarm battery. Replaced it, and everything's working. Cost me 330€, but at least the error is gone. Thanks again for the help.
