Skoda Superb Hybrid System Readiness Issue

I am experiencing a persistent issue with my 2021 Skoda Superb Hybrid, and I am seeking advice. The vehicle has approximately 25032 km. I am receiving an error message in the speedometer indicating an incomplete system readiness check. This error is also stored in the error memory. The most recent event prior to this issue was a routine readout via an OBD2 diagnostics tool. Could this be the cause, and what steps should I take to resolve this before my next vehicle inspection and emissions test? It is like the car's computer has a blank slate after the diagnostic check.

The 'system readiness check incomplete' message often appears after an OBD2 diagnostic tool is used. It means the car's onboard diagnostics haven't finished running all their self-tests. Have you tried driving the car for a while? Sometimes, completing a 'drive cycle' will reset everything.

Could you elaborate on what constitutes a 'drive cycle'? Is there a specific pattern or duration of driving required to reset the system?

Yes, using an OBD2 reader can trigger that message. Think of it like temporarily disconnecting a device – it needs time to recalibrate. If the message persists after several drive cycles, a computer reset at a certified workshop might be necessary, but hopefully a good drive will sort it out.

Thank you for the insights. It seems the issue has resolved itself after performing a standardized drive cycle as suggested by other Skoda drivers. I followed the manufacturer's recommendations which included a mix of city and highway driving at varying speeds. After that, the system readiness check completed successfully, and the error message disappeared. The vehicle inspection also passed with no issues. So, in the end, it cost me 0€ to resolve.
