ECAM stored faults/warnings

I was recently having a discussion with an engineer over a flight control fault in my old Airbus.The engineer stated that the fault we had seen may have been something stored in the ecam memory from a previous sector that was replaying itself.I have heard of a A320 doing this but in my case the warning was genuine as the flight control in question did not move upon selection and it produced the appropriate warnings and fault lights.
Has anybody had any similar experience?

I have seen something similar on A320 sims....can't recall if it was latched messages for flight controls or other systems now....but would be nice to know how the engineer proposed to clear this.
Is there a particular maintenance function for this?

the post flight report available on ground will be able to confirm a fault on the previous leg. the previous leg reports stores the faults from the previous legs.
a ground scan of the EFCS should confirm the fault if present, although an ecam warning and failure message at same time on PFR is another way of identifying a fault. i can't say why this engineer thought it was a stored fault... but maybe he had a reason

It was cleared with a "ground test satis-no fault found"!When I say old airbus I mean a non-fbw aircraft with no pfr.
