dashboard ems and emmissions light
« on: 20 May 2014, 19:53:47 »
All, is there a picture somewhere that identifies the EMS and emissions light and what they signify.
I know which is which but the guy in the garage keeps telling me i am wrong!
Thanks in advance

What do you mean by EMS?

If you get up my way, I'll happily read the codes for you...   ...had I known earlier, I drove through Dunstable on Sunday ::)

There are 2, one looks like an engine, one is a car with a spanner.

What are the symptoms, and which one is on?

The story is, I have the exhaust emissions light on (the engine without spanner), this is normally lambda sensors, however, the guy in the garage keeps telling me that that is the EMS light and the one with the spanner is the ‘body’ light. I know that that one is the EMS (ECU) light. But he would not have it; hence, I was looking for a photograph or diagram indicating clearly which is which and what they mean.
The car has no symptoms of a problem, drives perfectly well.
Thanks

If *either* come on, you have to read the codes, as there is a lot of crossover between emmissions faults and electrical faults.

Is the EML on now (or keep coming on intermittently)?
