My ST is just about to kick over the 10K mark and as I was sitting outside a shop with the engine idling waiting for my daughter about a week ago, I remember turning the A/C off and feeling a noticeable drop in engine revs, once she got into the car i drove off and the error message "Engine Malfunction Service Now" came up on the center screen and my car went into limp mode once i got home i stopped the engine and started it again and everything was back to normal. i had hoped it was a 1 off anomaly and kept my fingers crossed until it happened again a few days later as i started the engine, i turned it off and started it again straight away and all was clear again. I have an OBD2 dongle that is always plugged in to the port as i use my phone as a black-box recorder, I didn't think of looking up what the error code was when it happened at the time but i would have thought the ECU logs all faults and stores them but when i did a scan it just came up with no error codes stored in ECU. Would the fact that the OBD2 is left in all the time be the cause of the problem? I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this warning. Hopefully it is just a software glitch?!

Your certainly putting the Kms down, don't even have half the ammount done that you have!
This don't sound too good, have you brought it to the dealer for them to run diagnostics? Might have better equipment than you have yourself? As a matter of intrest have you had a service on your car yet? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk |
