SupraLEDrears Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 So the tester brings up no errors but the light stays on til the car gets warm and then it slowly fades out on high revs. It sometimes comes back on whilst I'm driving and makes me think of a loose connection somewhere as it flickers on and off in bumpy conditions. Any suggestions or fixes please? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Low brake or engine oil. Mine used to flick on over bumps on the motorway. Then I had a brake fluid change and it didn't come back (Determined to answer all your questions ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Which light comes on? If its low brake fluid or engine oil you should get the main warning light plus another light telling you which it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 Main warning and engine fault one. It also throbs on and off as I drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 It takes very very little brake fluid loss to make it come on, many have thought it was full put a few drops later it goes off but as far as I am aware low brake fluid doesn't bring on the EML.

Digsy Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Neither low oil nor low brake fluid would make the check engine light come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Dimly glowing and fading lights says to me an earth fault. Time to start checking and cleaning all the earth points, of which there are many and it's fun finding them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted March 1, 2013 Author Share Posted March 1, 2013 Thanks guys. Car started missing again and then I realised that the dizzy cap was split in two! It needed replacing as there was quite a build up on the pins. Put a new one off and got no warning lights whatsoever. Weird but worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
