Spider fault memory lock

Ah, the Spider! I know her well. I had a similar issue with my Spider. It sounds like a persistent gremlin in the car's electronics. Did you recently experience any issues with the battery or perhaps have the car sitting idle for an extended period?

Indeed, the car did sit idle for a few weeks. Could that alone trigger this memory lock?

Absolutely! Think of it like a leaky faucet slowly draining a bucket. The control unit's active memory is sensitive. A prolonged period of undervoltage can corrupt stored fault codes and trigger the lock. In my case, it required a workshop visit to clear the memory and ensure no underlying issues. It may be best to let a professional handle it.

Thank you for the confirmation. I will take it to a workshop for diagnosis. The repair cost amounted to 240€.
