Anyone fancy reading my engine codes? (Teesside)
« on: 06 May 2008, 14:38:55 »
 Ey up

 Driving along last night,sitting at 30mph in 4th, my EML illuminated. There's no sounds or vibration, no trouble starting or idling, no increase in fuel consumption... I'm wondering if its purely the sudden change in weather (my old Corsa would put the light on any time the weather was warm and I'd been out for a hoon...)

Try

Put your foot flat to the floor on the accelerator and your foot on the brake.

Now turn the ignition on (dont start the engine) and read the number of flashes on the ecu light.....

....might not work but, worth a try.

Interesting!

Worth a try on other engines?  2.2, 3.2?

Tried in a 2.2 Omega & Vectra....

Nothing :(

Should there be a start of codes display?

Failing that, whats the easiest way to generate a fault ;)

 If there's no faults, I think the light flashes constantly.
