Had a battery drain fail yesterday, not dead but wouldn’t start, few warning lights popped up & service required notification.

Suspect battery is past its best. Thankfully someone had a battery booster (great bit of kit !! Now on order !!) which started the car and got us home.

But we’re now now left with this warning light, arghh, can’t believe it’s not a consequence of yesterday’s electricity gremlins but any thoughts folks ?

Can I reset or is it worth a dealer check ? I don’t have an OBD reader (yet ?)



Thanks

I get the same warning since I had a sports cat fitted, my curret map needs a cat delete writing into it but to that happens it's an easy fix using my OBD Fusion app blue toothed to my OBD reader, takes about 15 seconds.

Thanks, I have ordered a blue tooth OBD and will download the Fusion App, seems decent value for a £10 ? Also ordered a small lead so I can extend the socket without having to pull the trim off all the time, hopefully I can tuck the plug away in the footwell. If the warning is a result of electrical gremlins does this allow me to turn it off... I've never tried the OBD readers yet but there have been a couple of occasions where one would have been useful !!

This is the one myself and James Elmer use, it's left permanently in so we can monitor our tyres pressures and temperatures during track days via our phones. It was his original discovery.
