How do I put an error code on my ECU?

Postby tangcla » Tue Jan 11, 2011 7:40 pm

I know you can clear a code, but how do I put a code on? With what program (I have a Tactrix cable)

lol :P

Basically I'm nearing my 1 year with my O2 sensor and it's starting to play up (rough idle with aircon and car stationary whilst in D) so I want to send it in to the service to ensure I get a replacement.

unplug the 02 sensor connector and start the car, it should log a code.

this happens to me all the time when I clean the engine bay and forget to plug the airflow meter connector back in :oops: ..

You just have to hope that it does play up when they test it.
