Neil-NA Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 On the way to get the car MOt'd this morning i was sat in traffic and then pulled away, just as i did the yellow engine warning light came on along with the red light with the ! in the centre of the dash, i stopped and switched the engine off and on and it had gone. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supspower Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Could this be a fluid level of some sort? Is this the first time its happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yep, going to get the car back in a bit and check the brake fluid and do a fault code check, the dumb fuckers at the MOT station cant fit the blitz exhaust (told me its the wrong one) so im having a bad day.

caseys Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Won't be brake fluid, that'll bring up the (!) light on your right hand dial - the handbrake light basically. Yellow engine light can be an o2 sensor, MAF/MAP (iirc), something detected by the ECU that is not either oil pressure or oil level related either. It'll be engine or sensor related, not ancilliaries like oil or brake fluid I think.. As you've said, best to go check error codes and see what's stored. Did it reoccur on the way back home or has it been a one off? I hate it when something occurs once and you can't recreate it to diagnose a bit further!

Neil-NA Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 It only happend the once and didnt come on when i re started it, will check it later and see what the codes say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Just picked car up and on the way home it came on again after a little blast, tried doing the fault code check and the yellow light just stays on and doesnt blink at all. Reading through the reciepts for the car its had the speed sensor changed a few years back, could this be at fault again. It has no speedo/delimiter fitted yet that i know of.

Ian C Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I suspect it's you doing it wrong Tell us what you're doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil-NA Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Hmm. Using a paperclip to bridge the gap between E1 and TE1, turn ign 2 clicks i then have to disarm the car and the warning light (plus others) comes on but stays on. Is this wrong, ive tried various ways of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
