Mivec9 1st Gear March 21, 2005 Share March 21, 2005 if i'm not wrong, there shd be a sensor to check level of engine oil. try wipe dipstick and try again. the oil level shd be bet. max and min. if still full, maybe sensor spoil. best check with mech liao if so.

Zrun Neutral Newbie March 21, 2005 Share March 21, 2005 (edited) 1 way is to bring to mechanic to get it inspected. Another way is to unplug your battery for 1 min to reset the check engine light. If it happens again, then it is something major that you need to let mechanic check out. On newer cars it maybe fuel cap that is not closed tightly, causing drop in fuel fume pressure.

Apollo 1st Gear March 21, 2005 Share March 21, 2005 just go back agent lah, let them check n quote to u. den u decide if let them do repair. could be minor but at least surer way to find the source and tackle it, rather than blind man touch elephant. if too exp, den u go outside workshop find reliable one to repair lor. always ask for warranty period.

Zrun Neutral Newbie March 21, 2005 Share March 21, 2005 I'd suggest reset ECU first to see if it is false alarm. If you reset the ECU, turn on the engine, and the light comes on again, then it is a real problem. Reset ECU by unplug the ECM fuse for few min, or disconnect battery for few mins. Alot of times, the fuel gets low, and cannot maintain pressure, triggering CEL. When you top up and clear the ECU, it will not happen again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arythan Neutral Newbie March 21, 2005 Author Share March 21, 2005 it may be due to the low petrol level... but it was not triggerred previously n hence a bit strange... ok... i will try 2 disconnect d battery n clear d ecu after topping up petrol...
