I had a scan gauge in my old Focus RS but never used it as a code reader... I'm going to buy a Sealey Tools 1 as we are a dealer for them so if it doesn't work I will return it.

Just as a note Incase you buy one, I bought a scan gauge which is good for clearing codes but it doesn't like telling me what the code is on my m3 :119:

Works on other cars fine

[Steve B]

You're right it didn't..... I'll be buying a code reader/clearer when I'm back into work Thursday....

[Graham]

I'm pretty sure disconnecting battery terminal doesn't clear codes

[Steve B]

I'll give that a go, I did disconnect only the negative terminal for an hour yesterday but that didn't do anything....

After driving 400 miles today to the Ring my engine management light (the light that looks like an engine sort off lol) came on, car drives as if its not on so I'm hoping it was a glitch...

My question is can you reset it without "plugging in"...???


Steve

Disconnect negative and positive terminals of battery for over 30 mins....should clear all faults...

Needless to say it may come back again...

[Steve B]

Well it's still in 1 piece after a few test laps lol.... I'll have a drive around tomorrow to see if I can get a fault code test done..


Cheers all

I would however be getting it checked out. There is a garage in Adenau that has a computer, they were very helpful when I dropped a valve at Ring let me borrow their compression tester etc. Or try Rent 4 Ring or RSR.

My O2 sensors failed and caused that light to come on. I continued to drive it like it for a bit after getting it diagnosed and I couldn't really tell anything was wrong apart from a slightly lumpy idle and sooty tailpipes. It doesn't have to serious or terminal for that light to come on.

[Mike R]

Or it is on all the time but you've got a dodgy connection :whistle:

I don't think so, I had it checked by the guy that had to reset my steering angle sensor (tripped by me causing a low battery voltage through running a compressor off the lighter supply without the engine running :hahaha: ) .

It's been reset twice and gone off of its own accord twice. I will get your guy to lower the sensitivity and get the limiter removed when I get round to it .
