Trax fault memory lock active

Hey, I'm having a weird issue with my 2018 Chevrolet Trax diesel. It's got about 195471 km on the clock. I keep getting this "fault memory lock active" message, and all I know is there's an error stored in the error memory. Any ideas what could be causing this? Is it something serious? I'm a bit worried!

A 2018 Chevrolet Trax diesel with approximately 195,471 km displayed a "fault memory lock active" message, indicating an error stored in the error memory. The issue was linked to undervoltage, likely caused by a battery problem, which affected the control unit. The suggested solution was to have the vehicle checked at a workshop to diagnose and clear the fault codes, which resolved the issue.

I had a similar issue with my Trax a while back. Does it seem like it's related to the battery at all? Like, have you noticed any slow starts or anything like that?

That's interesting! Actually, now that you mention it, the car has been a little sluggish starting up lately. Could it really be just a battery issue causing that fault memory thing?

Yep, undervoltage was the culprit in my case. The control unit throws a fit when it doesn't get enough juice. I'd get it checked out at a workshop; they can properly diagnose it and clear the fault codes. Might save you a headache!

Thanks so much for the tip! I took it to the shop, and you were spot on – it was undervoltage! They sorted it out, cleared the fault codes, and the total came to about 240€. Seriously appreciate the help; you saved me a ton of stress!
