Is a car question OT?

All the light tells you is that the oxygen level is out of spec - too high or too low. Nope. All the light tells you is that the ECU has logged a fault. It might be the lambda. It might not be. The engine management light specifically refer to emissions out of spec - according to each handbook on my 3 vehicles. They just put that in to scare numpties into actually doing something. Have a google for a complete list of fault codes for each of them. I'll bet there's an absolute ****load of light-lit codes that aren't emissions related. |

Tell us what the cars are, then, and I'll find you a list of non- emissions related fault codes that'll put this "emissions out of spec" light on. |
