    I can try to reproduce it, using a 10 ohm 200 watt resistor to drain the battery, but I'm not sure if it has any effects...

      Firstly I wouldn't be deliberately depleting the battery as they don't need much help these days in meeting an early demise (apart from the fire hazard of shorting it) and secondly it's probably highly unlikely that you'd be able to exactly reproduce the electrical conditions which lead to the emergence of your gremlin.
      But if you did, I'd buy you a beer.
      Don't take that as encouragement...

        Over the years I've heard a few stories of random CELs and error caused by low or flat batteries. The fix (as you can imagine) was simple a new battery (or a good charge).

        I've invested in a CTEK charger for my car since I know I don't drive it far enough to keep the battery charged properly.

        If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

          My mums 2011 tiguan had her SRS airbag light and steering control module light come on after a flat battery. I managed to reset the SRS with Carista and drove the car to calibrate the steering and all was well.

            Hi

            Eventually had some free time to check the modules again. Here's the faults related to the incident:

            No communication... Maybe the modules decided to go on strike for a few minutes...
