Default CEL

Hi folks,


My CEL came on last night after an hour drive when I got back in the car and started it up. It is a 2001 wagon.

Its had panel filter, plugs, sports cat, prodrive back box and Andy F remap.

I looked for the green and black plugs to get the fault code but there is green green white and 1 black only. There are also 2 black wires that have the end taped up. Is this where the missing black plug should be?

The CEL has since gone out. Any ideas?

Is it classic or newage? AFAIK newages don't have the two wires which you use to diagnose on the classics. Best way is to get a cheap OBDCII reader such as the RAC one and check the code you get (got mine at halfrauds for £40). Failing that get it into a garage just to check the light then fire a post on here to see what everyone thinks.

CEL will go out if the car starts 5 times without the error actually happening, the error is still logged just not lighting up the CEL.

Thanks guys,

It is a 2001 bugeye.

I'll maybe use the laptop. Can anyone suggest a suitable data cable?

Thanks
