lewysdanny Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hey guys, can anyone explain why , when the engine is warm i get a red warning triangle + amber engine logo. Both these light up after normal driving ( 8 - 10 mins ) . This happens every time i drive it. Which is every day, as its my only transport. Its a 95 tt .. Cheers Guys lewysdanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Another vote here for code 42. Code 42 isn't at all serious, and it would be fine to keep driving it. It's still a good idea to get it sorted out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewysdanny Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks guys, but how do i go about getting these warning lights extinguished ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOSTA Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Once you have found the fault by doing a fault code check, just disconnect your battery for around 3mins and that will clear any fault codes that's stored in your ecu Edit: obviously fix the problem before resetting you ecu lol Edited May 11, 2012 by FOSTA (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 If its a code 42 it will come right back though. As stated above verify which code it is and then if it is a 42 there are a couple of options to fix it. If its something else then there will probably be a way to fix that, too.

listy Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 What is a code 42? Please excuse my lack of knowledge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Code 42 is officially a speed sensor error, but the actual problem usually isn't the speed sensor but either a duff odometer or speed converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
