Constant check light with bridged service connector

[Seventynine]

All,

trying to turn off my check light (or at least find out what's wrong with it) and i get no blinks/flashes when the service port is connected

i know i have bridged it successfully as i can turn it on and off and i get a change in engine tone (due to the ignition timing going from static/mapped) just no flashes

i've removed the 7.5A fuse as per the reset procedure, still nothing!

any ideas? i searched on here and a few threads popped up but none of them had resolutions

Thanks!

Engine runs absolutely fine. tempted to remove the bulb.....

Funny you say that. Replaced my dash bulbs with leds. After a few weeks check light came on but car ran perfectly. Got sick of the red glow and replaced with normal bulb. Problem solved... Wait a minute. Might have the same issue with me exhaust temp one now.....

exhaust temp one i grounded a long time ago :lol:

Mine was the same. Had the capacitors replaced on the ecu and I'm now getting a code for the first time when I bridge the service port. I also checked and cleaned any grounds I came across too.

interesting. have you got a guide to swapping the capacitors?

I didn't do the soldering myself as it looked a bit precise for my unskilled hand. I took it to a local computer repair shop, in fact the bloke in the shop told me it what a pain double sided soldering was..

I do have some info though. There are 6 caps on the board that are the usual culprets. The shop replace mine with the following:

1 x 35v220uf
2 x 10v470uf
2 x 35v33uf
1 x 35v47uf
