    Yellow Engine Check Light

    Just came on this morning - dont have manual with me - dealer says could be all manner of things and to bring it in but can't until tomorrow.

    Anyone else have experience with this? All fluids seem OK. OK to drive or will everything explode?

    Thanks.

    I've had this and needed both Oxygen sensors replaced, your car will still drive OK. I drove around for a few weeks waiting for them to be ordered, so tomorrow should be OK.

    Dont assume you will have to draw the codes to find out whats up. The ecu has many sensors and controls going on , so to assume it a certain switch or sensor is crazy man. When it stays on it means a hard fault is logged, anyway no matter you can watch the sensor live when testing.

    yeah, but the way they jump to conclusions is entertaining, surely jim. ..kai, maybe removing your cat all-together may have had something to do with throwing an oxy-sensor code, I could be wrong though
