CJM Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Hi all, So today when driving home I noticed my Engine Management Light was on... Got home did the pedal dance thingy and now the light only illuminates when the engine is effectively under load and when idling it is not. Anyone have any info on this? Still looking into it myself atm. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Read the code, tell us what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJM Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Will need to get it into my local garage at some point this week as I don't have a code reader yet - Know of any decent ones? Just thought I'd post to see if anyone has experienced it before. Will update thread when I find out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran O'Quick Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Code reader is like a tenner or something. If the car is still running you've time to get one off the net.. Any cheapo obdII reader will tell you what's wrong assuming the problem has been stored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJM Posted May 28, 2018 Author Share Posted May 28, 2018 Cheers, will just buy a cheap one then. Had Vagcom for my cupra and that was really good. From what I've read the equivalent for Nissan etc is £££'s so I'll pass on that for now haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Or do the pedal dance again, but read the flashing lights before clearing the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJM Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) UPDATE: So turns out it was bank 1 O2 sensor. However, it wasn't as simple as that... The weird thing is was that anytime the car went past 2k rpm the voltage for that sensor dropped to 0V. New sensor in so I'll monitor it for a while.
