EML light on
« on: 07 January 2010, 23:02:33 »
Anybody near Hull with some diagnostic kit, car seems to be driving fine but the orange EML light is on. Dont trust the local Vauxhall as they have proven unreliable in the past. :-[

Also can anyone tell me what the difference between the red car/spanner light and the orange engine light is. I have been led to believe the orange EML is activated due to a fault with emmisions. If so is there any common faults i as a newbie should be aware of on the 2.2petrol. :y

i thought the Engine Management Light (EML) was for the whole engine not just for the emmisions as im constantly getting that light come on due a few issues im having and have had with my mig recently... but then again, i aint a mechanic so i could be wrong  ;D ;D :D :D :D

The car with spanner is for immobiliser or engine electronics ... the engine light is for emmisions .... i wonder if you have the P0420 code for cat efficiency  :-/

Hi,  This issue sound just like the one i have.  The red spanner light resets itself.  The orange light can come on for many reasons.  I have had Vauxhall and an independent specialist look into it.  All vauxhall want to do is change parts at a huge cost.  Campco in Warrington gave me a reason for the light coming on but each time its a different code.  I have now bought an OBD 2 reader from ebay (less thatn £30) so that i can see the error codes that come up for my self.  I reset the light yeserday, P0220 error that is throttle position sensor.  I will see what happens
