d95gas Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Just taken the car for mot (passed with flying colour) but engine management light is on. Not flashing or anything like that, just static. Turned off then back on a few times and still there. This the the yellow engine light in the lower left. Any advice before I go dig the dianostics kit out and see what the heck is going on ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeybrain1234 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Try the pedal dance. Although probably better to find what the code is if you have a reader before resetting it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yep gonna go stick the diagnostics on and see what it comes up with...... Bloody typical.... perfect all this time.....:-( will post up codes shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) Just plugged the Delphi Diags in and its reporting: P0171 System Too Lean (Bank 1) Any ideas. Bear in mind its just been through MOT. Never had any fault codes previously. Options I guess are to clear it and see if it comes back, but wont do anything until the masters report back Should add that I have Berk HFC's Edited November 19, 2015 by d95gas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Yeah, just clear the code and see if it returns. Remember, you don't have a problem until you have a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmck13 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I have berks HFC and it was not unusual to have codes, try what alex says firstf all and usually that solves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 Codes cleared ..... and will see what happens. Might have just been the MOT place playing around with it...... but that dam little light does cause so much panic........ thanks for the advice guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I had that a few months ago, after a reset it came back, after a gentle MAF clean with contact cleaner and a reset it stayed away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Hope this is cured buddy and stays gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d95gas Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Thanks for the comments guys. Took a run to work in her this morning and all seemed fine, no lights and nothing untoward. So fingers crossed just a little glitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
