engine malfunction light

[The Accountant]

Hi all

 

Had this light just come on, and followed steps on the forum to find the code..Does it repeat the code over & over & not stop? Managed to get the light flashing, not sure if I messed up but came back on after I switched off/on.

 

The code I think is

 

1slow 1fast 6fast 7fast

 

Thanks in advance

Anyone? Is it safe to drive until sorted?

I would send a PM to Zmanalex or Abbey to clarify if its ok to drive

Ok thanks for the reply.

 

So its this? P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2

That code can be down to cold weather ..

 

I had that come up a few times last winter and it stopped happening once the weather got warmer ...

 

I've never had it since

Hopefully it's that.

 

I have a warranties 2000 gold warrenty, but they seem shut all wkend. Went into my Nissan garage & wanted £88 to tell me the problem!

Not one to worry about its fine to drive. Reset it using the procedure in the guides and see if it re appears..if it does then have a look at a new sensor. Are you decatted?

I dont think so, just brought from a garage & has 12mths mot, I think it's all standard. If i've understood you correctly?

I have had the O2 sensors throw up a warning light about 4 times in my 6 yrs of ownership. The last time was only a few weeks ago. ECU was reset by the garage and not a peep since. I read the code myself but took it to the garage to confirm. Next time I will reset myself and save £35 and the hassle of going to a garage.

A little more advice from the experts here would be a really appreciated. The first time this happened I had the garage reset it & check, but since it's come on 4 times in 3mths with the same code. Should I reset it again myself or take it to the garage to see if there's a problem?

I had the same issue although mine has Hi flow cats which can cause the ECU to put up the same error code, I fitted a new sensor as I got fed up with keep on resetting the ecu and hey presto no more error code so I would say one of your o2 sensors needs changing (about £90 from ZMANALEX)

Ok thanks bry.
