Eobd light on grand tourismo
Discussion
So I picked up my 09 plate Grand Tourismo 4.7s last week, and absolutely love the car.
I love the shape, the front end really is one of the best looking cars I've seen.
I also have a 996 Turbo, tottally different cars, both great in their own right, but the sound of the mazza really is intoxicating, something ive really missed on the porsche.
It also gets far more attention than the porsche, quite a rare car so people like what they see, without actually knowing what it is👍
However I've had a light come on, on the dash, which looking in the manual is the EOBD warning light, seems to be something to do with the fuel supply/ignition and emission control system. Does anyone have any experience of this and suggestions on how to fix, other than talking it to the dealers to get it looked at?
Best regards.
Nick.

This may sound stupid but Ferraris of the era often give this light when the fuel cap was not tight enough after refuelling (new owners particularly susceptible)
As a bigger picture you might find infrequent lights coming on (technical term: Italian electrics) and reassurance from your own code reader for twenty quid off Ebay and/or software such as EOBD facile
This and much more in greater detail no doubt on Maserati forums

Thanks for the feedback,
Reference the fuel cap, that's what id read, however some people say it takes 3 restarts to reset the system, others have said a dealer reset is needed.
The cap does seem to sit at a very slight angle, only minor, ill give it a few days and see if it clears naturally.
Ill also look at getting one of the readers, it may come in handy.

It can take several starts for the light to go out if you trigger it with a loose fuel cap. I've done this myself with my own 4.7S Reference the fuel cap, that's what id read, however some people say it takes 3 restarts to reset the system, others have said a dealer reset is needed.

The trick is to ensure that you get at least half a dozen "clicks" from the cap when you tighten it down
