  • Comments Off on Engine warning light on: causes and what to do

An engine warning light means the ECU has detected a fault in the engine or emissions system. If it is steady you can carry on carefully until a diagnosis; if it is flashing, stop the vehicle as soon as possible.

Most common causes

  • Clogged DPF/FAP
  • Dirty EGR valve
  • AdBlue/SCR system fault
  • Faulty lambda sensor

What to do right away

  1. Check whether the light is steady or flashing.
  2. Check fluid levels and the fuel cap.
  3. Avoid high revs.
  4. Have the fault codes read with a diagnostic scan.
