Engine light on.....off

[scotchgitt]

I was driving the car "enthusiastically" (how adictive is that....) yesterday and after a blast the engine light came on solid. Crap I thought. Bought a code reader from Halfords (on loan - will be taken back and refunded to morrow).

It was a gunson reader and when connected (after I repaired the broken black wire on the plug in the foot well) I just got an ERR code. Nothing else.

I have also bought another code reader so will see what that says.

Anyway, today after some moderat driving (taking my 4 year old to school - he was in his element with the roof off) the light has gone out on its own. Is this normal?

Yes.

The light will go off after a certain number of cycles if the condition was transient. The code will still be stored in the ECU though, so you can see what was up with it.

Cheers,
Robin

Excellent, thanks.
