Lude Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 was in 6th gear on the motorway, the second turbo came in, boost goes too much 1.3bar (gotta sort that) then the engine management light came on? and the light that has the exclamation mark (when you have the handbrake up) car drove fine, i turned it off, turned back on again, and the engine management light & exclamation light is now off, back to normal again? is this usual? reason? or do you have to check the ECU fault codes when the warngin light is on? (asume toyota ECUs have that feature like Nissans?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) has the car had the speedo converted to mph from kph. if so its common for this to cause a speed signal error. check the error codes and it will tell you whats causing the light. if it is the vehicle speed sensor thats throwing the code i wouldnt worry about it , mine as have many other have been like it for years Edited February 21, 2010 by dr_jekyll (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Fuel cut? Does the car have a FCD fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caseys Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Did the brake light stay on through that journey? Can you clarify which light came on when you say engine management light? We talking about the yellow engine light or the red exclaimation MIL light in the middle of the rev counter? Checked all your brake lights are good? Checked brake fluid level? Once accidentally nudged up the handbrake slightly with my knee when going round a roundabout that did the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) the car has ben converted from kph to mph yes, also it has a FCD (dont think ive seen it yet tho) the 2 lights which came on, are the exclamation mark light, which is the same 1 thats on when the handbrake is on. and the engine management one, which is the yellow one, which is universal on most cars. i think i do have a brake light out, but all lights went normal after turned the car off & back on again they have both gone off when startint he car, so i imagine its a speed issue thing? - as i was in 6th, and i think it was the fastest ive done in the car since had it (yest) Edited February 21, 2010 by Lude (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Aaaanyway, let's answer the guy's question ... do you have to check the ECU fault codes when the warngin light is on? No. You can still check the stored error codes. Do it and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
