giggsyson Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Evening everyone! I need some advice please. Been driving the z today with no problems. However this evening as i was driving the engine management light came on. Car is running fine, no noise, knocks etc. Any ideas? I know a diagnostic is the best but i hope someone might have some things i can try / look at Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Have a search on the forum for the peddle dance. Do that and it should give you the code that's caused the error. Should help with the diagnosis then. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) Could be an number of things including something or nothing. Sorry not very helpful I know but what I mean is sometimes the O2 sensors on the exhausts could f**k up a little (especially in this weather) and cause the light to go on or it could be something else. Your best bet is to have the code read by a diagnostic reader at a garage ~ they'll be able to read the code and tell you what the fault is. If it's an O2 sensor or similar you can then have the code reset and see if it come's on again & then deal with the problem. You can reset the ECU yourself if you wish via a pedal dance.

370Ad Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 Get pedal dancing and the upload the video/put the code up here. Hopefully it's nothing but better be safe than sorry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 It will be an o2 sensor but as above its always best to have a code read instead of just getting rid of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giggsyson Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 Thanks guys - as always quick and helpful responses I had a quick look at the pedal dance, think it might take me a few goes!

Ive been trying for the past week to get my key fob to work again after the battery went flat and can i get the sequence to work...no chance haha Really hoping its nothing re the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may be a member nearby who has an OBD reader that can help out. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
