Re: Engine Warning Light On

when was the last time you changed the air filter??
I had the same problem with the engine light comming on but no OBD codes came up. I changed the air filter & went for a bit of a drive, left the car overnight & it hasnt come back since. I think this worked because it reads in the manual about the engine warning light:-
"If in illuminates with the engine running, it indicates an emissions related malfunction"
A clogged or dirty air filter can also cause the motor to idle erratically because the motor is starved of air.
I thought it was a cheap easy fix to try before seeing a mechanic.
In saying that it also states that "if it flashes when driving reduce vehicle speed immediatly. If to contiues to flash avoid heavy acceleration and high engine speed."
Then there is a note that states that if it illuminates when driving its an engine & drivetrain related problem & you should stop the vehicle & turn off the engine.
Id say change the filter & see if that works, but if you are concerned take it to a mechanic to be safe.
