Check engine light has come on in my jza70

Postby Coke » Wed Jan 17, 2007 12:25 pm

The car is running quite well but still would like to know why the lights come on. Never had a check light come on before in any car so i have no idea what to do. What should i do?
Thanks in advance

You can check the fault codes without any special equipment. Find the diagnostic connector and bridge terminals E1 and TE1 and count the flashes of the check light in the dash. Continuous flashing = normal.

If you've unplugged something in the engine bay or whatever pull the EFI fuse to clear the codes and see if it comes up again

If you do a search itll show how to decifer the codes etc and what they mean, also look in the FAQ
