yellow light kill

[lentildude]

Is there a quick fix to kill that yellow engine light?
I DONT want to go through the pin jumpering diagnostic check - I had the car serviced and its fine - the light comes on a few seconds while driving then disappears.. Is there a quick reset procedure - something to keep the car computer quiet???

you could try removing the ECU fuse near the battery for a while to reset it,

Although, to be honest, I'd be doing a diagnostic on it first to make sure nothing is wrong...

If you want to kill it permanantly, you could always remove the bulb but that would defeat the object of having it in the first place wouldn't it...

Well you can remove the bulb but it will take you longer then doing the diagnostic check. Out of sight, out of mind!

Check the timing... the same thing happened to mine and a quick time up sorted it! worth a go

thanks for all the posts - will try the timing myself - perhaps mechanic didnt do a good job.. also I didnt get the oil filter changed - someone know a generic part number filter?
