Management light on
« on: 18 April 2019, 19:07:59 »

In the 9 years I've owned the 3.2, I've never had the EM light on. Took it in with no light on for its MOT today, after giving it an Italian tune-up. It passed with one advisory, EM light on >:(. What did they do? WOT didn't bring it on for me. >:( >:( >:(

If you are in the RWB area either before 12 tomorrow, or after 3 from Tuesday to Friday next week I can stick the code reader on for you, away in the tin tent otherwise :)

Esp when they know they were responsible for putting it on in the first place.

Has anyone got a generic code reader that will reset codes they can recommend for an Omega 3.2? If so please PM me the name. :y
I am surprised that no-one has come up with a reason that may have brought the light on during the MOT. I am not a great fan of such coincidences. :-\

3.2 is OBD compliant, so any cheap device ought to do what you want. Easily doable for under £20.

Ahem... They probably left it idling for an extended period.

Pedal trick will tell what the car thinks the cause was :y

Only needs to miss slightly once... Fans kicking in could cause a stutter as the load increases ;)

Pedal trick doesn't work for some reason. Spanner light remains on. IIRC I have used it in the past, but I may be confusing it with the TD. Paperclip doesn't appear any use as no connectors in 2 & 6 of OBD socket. :(
