Hi all

Am back to being an omega owner again after a long break.  Just bought a 2002 2.2 CD with 68000 on the clock for a very low price

One thing - eml light is on and has been since the Head Gasket was changed according to owner.  Havent driven it yet but I would have thought its a simple case of resetting it

If so - anyone local to SLady bitshorpe with the right kit

Cheers

Hi I thought an EML light went off on its own after around 20 clean engine starts, thats what happened to mine otherwise something else is still a problem ?

No - they have to be cleared

From what I can see - the owner (70 yr old lady) has always taken it to Vauxhall for work but refuses to pay £95 to get the light cleared

The car runs fine

Ok, mine cleared after  a few clean starts so hope you sort it.

I can't think of an engine management fault that doesn't eventually clear the light once rectified, so expect there to be a fault on the engine somewhere. 

The only system that needs a manual reset to turn off a fault light is the airbag.

Ok mate

Will get the code read then see what it shows

No - they have to be cleared ....

wrong  The car can still a fault so the EML is still on.

As Kevin says, when the fault is fixed, the light will go out.

can you explain -my eml came on-read code-lamba sensor-put new one on and still eml on-disconnected battery and reconnected-eml went out-not come back on and no code---so far

Sure - resetting the codes reset the trims that were cocked due to a duff lamda.

(which is why if you suspect emissions related faults, look at the live data before clearing the codes)

Silly question but.....
I thought/understood that the ECUs fitted to Omegas store the error codes in e2prom and that pulling the battery connection couldn't clear the codes
Are fuel trims NOT stored in e2prom (stored in ram maybe) and forgotten if the battery is disconnected?
