Title: Check Engine LIght on SR/F
Post by: princec on March 19, 2022, 05:34:35 AM

After exactly 12 months and 6800 trouble free miles of operation... CEL comes on. Just prior to that there was a High Throttle warning which I cleared by switching off and on, and some other error code that since vanished. But now the CEL is on. As I understand it this restricts engine torque?

Anybody know how to clear it without having to go all the way to my dealer (which is basically a whole day wasted)?

If you go to the errors tab on the dashboard, is there a way to clear it from there?

Nope, there's no errors outstanding. Apart from nearly every time I unplug the charger I get the "charger not connected" error to clear (grr).

By regulation, that light has to stay on for a certain number of keycycles after the even that triggered it. I think it's three. So the answer is to key cycle it until it goes away and if it doesn't something is retriggering it.

...and it's funny you should say that because as if by magic it disappeared this morning.

This indeed matches my experience. Thank you for the explanation. I had it about 3-4 times over the last 34'000 km, in most cases I can link it with some water ingress.
