supna Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Only just realised that my engine management light does not work neither do any of the light in this area (i.e ABS and two oil cans) I have checked the connection on the back and it is fitted ok and none of the fuses have blown. Any ideas on what it could be as I would like to run diagnostics but can't without this light working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Just give it a smack and they'll come back on! Well it works for me anyway. They very occasionally fail to light up, a light smack and they will be fine for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Harwood Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Time to get out the multi-meter I'm happy to go through mine pin by pin to give you something to compare to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavinL Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I got this from the US list last week if it helps "this is a very common problem, you will need to get the warning light circuit out and re-weld all the joints on the female harness...

supna Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I seem to remember that continuously flashing means no stored error codes (so you know that the light just isn't working). I can't find it on mkiv.com though. I may be wrong. Where did you get your instructions from ? Does the light go out after you've started the car (not in diagnostic mode) ?

Please help David It means all is OK, or if it is NOT OK, then the ECU isn't clever enough to be able to tell you what's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supna Posted February 23, 2003 Author Share Posted February 23, 2003 Cheers Guys. Yes the light does go out when I start the car in normal mode not diagnostic mode. The reason why I wanted to get this working was I managed to pop in and see Leon to say hello and just to explain to him about my idleing problem. He was the one that noticed my engine management light wasn't working so I told him I would fix that then check the codes. I told him I thought it may be the Idle speed control but he said it could be a couple of things but not the Idle speed control cos they don't really go wrong. I am praying that it is something simpler because the Idle speed control is £440+VAT from Mr Toyota. Even TCB in conwall want £150 for a second hand one.

I had an idle problem with my TT, Leon sorted it out without buying parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
