CEL on!! Code P2138 on ODB - Urgent Help!!!

[chriswillis]

As the title says. CEL on with traction control light and skid light on too.

 

On way home today and all 3 lights came on, went into limp mode for about 1 min then the lights went out apart from CEL light but then drove fine?

 

Had a mate round with ODB and it reads "P2138" error code. Anyone know what this is???

 

Many thanks for your help this is my only motor and need to drive to work tomorro!!

Thanks for quick reply. Will this have anything to do with me having the throttle controller fitted? There were some wires hanging down which i sort of "shoved!" back up out of view....

Id hazard a guess that might be a cause

So you think i could have disturbed something with moving the wires? I had my mate reset the light and it stayed out on tickover but havent driven it yet. Wanted to check it out first.....

 

I will go for a blast and hope it will stay out....

if it returns then do the throttle pedal reset

Cheers guys will do. I unplugged the throttle controller thing before i reset the CEL so if it doesnt come back i will presume it was me fudging about with the wires.... I will update tomorrow........

Went to work and back today and car is fine - must have disturbed the wires or something?! doh.

 

Thanks for quick responses though guys, nice one
