EML

Post by bobw1956 » Thu Mar 16, 2017 2:50 pm

Hi All

My EML warning light came on, and after investigating I found the rubber boot (convoluted) connected to the Air mass meter had split,

repaired this today,EML light is still on :cry: .Is there a reset procedure to extinguish this dreaded warning light, if so how is this done.

Regards Bob

Get yourself an obd code reader to read and reset the faults they are fairly cheap loads on ebay in the £20-30 range

If had the same problem, & it seems to be a common thing as the rubber perishes and sucks in too much air hence the EML light comes on as she's a touch lean.
You've two choices, drop your local garage a tenner to clear the code or buy a super duper cheap OBD reader off eBay, I bought a Maxscan or Maxiscan for £10.50 delivered, only does engine management codes but worth having in the garage as a spare if ever needed.
I had a Punto which I bought with faults that when I bought the OBD reader, must have used it 10 times clearing codes on that darned Punto, worth every penny!
