Post by toppin2 on Jan 3^rd, 2008, 2:08pm

my girlfriend has 1 2003 ford ka luxury, which has a engine mangament light, with the fault being the pre cat hego sensor. i have replaced the sensor but the light is still on, does anybody no if the fault code has to be cleared by computer?? (because i dont want her using my cosworth much longer)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! cheers, Dave.

With a lot of newer cars it's a dealer ECU reset job, I'm pretty sure this is the case with the Mk3 Mondeo at least.

I even got the main Jag dealer to sort it for me when I did both lambdas, only £33 :o. With some cars they just won't work until the ECU is reset, worth asking your FMD.

Regards, Bruce.

Hi have you had the fault code read by some 1 ? if so has the fault cleared?.
most cars will clear the eng man light straight away but a few take around 20 starts and runs of the car.
if you have had the code read by some 1 have they tried to clear the fault ?

BTW hello all :)
