syy Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I can't stop the light coming on within 10 miles or so since fitting de-cats. I've tried with no spacer, and I've tried with 2" long spacer/flow restrictors but still the light comes on. I don't want to go down the uprev or remap route yet. Is there any other cheap fix? (Other than taping over the dash light) Quote
ZMANALEX Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Are you sure that the EML light is related to the de cats, or are you just assuming ? What is the code ? Quote
nissanjuke Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 BUY yourself a code reader ,you will get one on ebay for about £10.00,you can use this to check your warning lights etc,and clear everything,I have hfc,s and i used this all the time until I got the uprev package,cheers Quote
syy Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 I'm assuming it is because it came on for the first time just after fitting the de cats.I will get a code reader anyway Quote
Bobby D Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Just a word of advice, if your not technically minded like my self and so you don't waste money or drag Wasso out in the rain after work for no reason! Both things I did! If your motor is an import you will have to get a different reader! I had the same drama and normal uk code readers don't work in the imports! Like I said a quick word of advice! Haha Quote
nissanjuke Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 my lights came on because of milltek exhaust with hfc,s,my car is a uk model and not an import as BOBBY D said get it checked out first! cheers Quote
syy Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 Mine is a UK roadster, the only other thing it could be is that one of the sensors was damaged whilst removing it from the original cats. Quote

Your EML light on could be the result of 1000 other issues, if you do not believe in coincidences. 1 Quote
syy Posted December 21, 2015 Author Posted December 21, 2015 It would be a rubbish coincidence. I covered about 500 miles with just the new exhaust and y pipe fitted,with no light, then the light comes on the same day as I put the de cats on. It's gotta be that really doesn't it. I'll check the fault code anyway just to be sure Quote

Rippo350z Posted September 30, 2016 Posted September 30, 2016 Sports cat are one thing but de-cat, i cant see how you will get the EML off without a re-map, the ECU will throw a wobly until you program it otherwise. After i had a full through system with HFC's my EML came on after i booted it down the motorway, The codes (yes codeS plural, as this will throw many emission/02/co2 related codes) were all checked and found to be related to the cats etc. A remap is the only way unless your attempting to do something i'm not aware of to trick the ECU.
