Green beret 1 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hi guys , Seem to have a problem with my engine warning light and has been reset a couple of times by the great chaps in Williams Lotus Bristol . There is no problem with the engine but 'events' seem to make it light up ( recently I had a flat battery which made it illuminate ) . Williams, my nearest dealer is a good 5 hr round trip for me so was just wondering if there was another way around this annoying occurrence ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveC72 782 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Have you tried switching off and turning it on again? By which I mean a good lengthy disconnect of the battery and a full charge. As an aside, isn't there a Lotus Dealer in Cwmbran? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bibs 11,173 Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 If the detected issue is resolved, the light will stop illuminating after 5 key on/key off cycles of it being gone. Alternatively, if you get an ODB2 dongle and an app like Torque you can clear the codes yourself.

Green beret 1 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Thanks so much men , advice greatly received . I will give the 5 key on / off and see how it goes . Will get back and let you know one way or the other Quite right Dave , not much in journey time between Williams and Cwmbran . Just i have got a decent relationship with Williams so worth the extra few minutes travel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TdM 168 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Out of interest, do you need to turn the engine on 5 times it is it just 'electrics on' 5 times? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
