Here's a good one - 3SGTE CEL Fading out?

Postby EssDub » Tue Dec 13, 2011 7:30 pm

Noticed when starting the car up the other day after it had been raining that the CEL would come on for all of about half a second, but then it just FADES out. Doesn't just pop straight off, but fades. ECU shows no codes in diagnostics mode, no difference to the way the car drives/boosts. Seems to happen a few seconds after the car is started and i've had a couple of fast flicks when going over rough roads. Kinda thinking it could be a loose or wet connector somewhere but not sure.

Youtube video uploading now to show you what i mean.

EDIT: Here is the YouTube video.
