OBDeleven Gearbox Errors VZ E-Hybrid

[Leon097]

I am the proud owner of a “new” used Formentor VZ E-Hybrid. I am pretty happy with the car. However, last weekend I did a scan with OBDeleven and discovered 18 gearbox faults. The strange thing is, when I scan the car with engine/electric engine on, there are just 5 faults left. When switching the engine off and scanning again, there are back 18 faults. I can’t erase them, they keep coming back.

I doubt if the faults are legit because they are just numbers without any date stamp or frequency counter. When I search some of the codes on the internet, they are related to non-gearbox issues.

Car drives and shifts butter smooth. No dashboard lights or errors. I still have used dealer warranty, but wanted to check first before I drop my car off for false errors. Someone who can shine a light on this?

Thanks in advance!

I have a 2021 VZ2 310 and when I scan with OBD 11 I always seem to get some kind of faults, oddly, if I scan with engine running, zero faults.

I had 39 fault codes in a scan the other day, fault codes for systems that were working absolutely fine!

Thank you for your answer. This really helps me, since I also have around 39 faults globally when scanning. Good to hear someone has the same.

18 gearbox faults

I have the exact same number of faults (for 02-Transmission) on my PHEV Formentor, since I got the car from factory. Even though those have "Intermittent" status, I cannot clear them. However, I never tried to scan with the car started, but only with the car powered-on.
Mine looks like this (ALL 18 have NO code "null" and are identically displayed as below):
> 02 Transmission
> ...
> Trouble codes:
> null - Unknown
> Intermittent
> null - Unknown
> Intermittent

I had 39 fault codes in a scan the other day, fault codes for systems that were working absolutely fine!

All the error codes I ever got were associated to systems that are actually working fine. If you check the date/time of the faults, you'll notice some of them occur when the car is parked and locked.

Thank you guys. Good to hear everything seems OK. For me this is the first time I own a car which throws false codes in OBDeleven.

Thank you guys. Good to hear everything seems OK. For me this is the first time I own a car which throws false codes in OBDeleven.

I did have a Mk 7.5 Golf R, and a BMW 335d, and used to get odd fault codes all the time, even though nothing was wrong with the cars

Okay, interesting. I had a Leon Cupra ST before and never had any faults.
