Title: car and spanner light
Post by: bond007 on 26 February 2013, 16:45:56
Hi I turned car on and the spanner and Car orange light came on and my auto box went into safe mode I think. I left it and now light still on but auto gears fine. This is a omega 2.2 CDX 2002 model only has 46,000 on clock with fsh can anyone advise :-\

Reason for the light is the ECU has detected a fault. To find out what that fault is you need to look in the maintenance section and look up pedal trick. Doing this will allow you to read the codes that are stored on the ECU

Your best bet is to contact MarkDTM, one of the staff here who lives in nottingham .. not only does he have the right kit, a genuine tech2, but he knows how to use it, and has much experience on Omegas ... if he can't diagnose the problem .. no-one can !!!

You've asked for help/advice - advice given to contact MarkDTM - don't ignore the advice mate otherwise why bother to ask in the first place?

Pedal trick has just worked on a handful of 2.2's, so really going to need a code reader.

As suggested, if you can get it to MarksDTM, he will not only tell you the codes, but what the fault actually is. 

My money is on cam sensor  :y

Did 2 lights - spanner and eml come on or just one? This did happen to mine a couple of times a few years ago and on restart spanner light goes out but EML stays on.

As advised by others you have a great resource near to you so try and use it but if spanner light is now off and EML light on then it can be cleared with basic code reader.
