AM V8 - Emission service warning light

[SCO]

Hi,

Has anyone else had this? Is it serious?

Just come on after a sprited weekend of driving.

I have removed fuse 22 - could that have caused it?

Cheers

its doubtful to be anything serious

ive had fuse 22 out for 18 months

ive also had the emissions light come 2 or 3 times in 30K miles

the last time they couldnt clear it, it just came back a few miles later - apparently they know what is and are working on a fix from the factory

so dont worry - just pop into a dealer at your leisure and get them to check/reset it ...and then hopefully it may/may not come on again

Yes, had this too.

Nothing serious, and nothing to do with fuse 22.

Aggravating as the light is, you can still drive as normal (!), the dealer will sort it on your next visit.

Can't actually remember what caused mine, but it was nothing to worry about.

nothing to do with fuse 22 - had the probs on my 06 Coupe all the time BUT never on my 08 Roadster....

i pulled fuse 22 the first day...

Go to a dealer and get it checked out. It may be nothing, but they can plug in a computer that will diagnose the problem based off the ecu records.

I had this light come on last week and after a 20 minute diagnosis my P+J is booked in next Saturday for repairs under warranty.

Thanks for the reassuring replies - its now gone of its own accord.

after 10 times of self testing it goes away

in Autocars well informed article this week on used ones, it says if the check light is on, its because the previous owner has done too many standing starts ...well....come on...own up

Well informed indeed

My brand new 4.7 had done absolutely loads (well none actually) of "standing starts" prior to the light coming on at about 200 miles.

The sad thing is that people will actually buy and believe this sort of shyte.
