Wow version 27 already. Congratulations !

By the way, just wanna ask see anybody facing this problem on their persona or not.

Yesterday I was driving downhill from Genting (Of course is not Initial D that kind)
Gear Using was 1, 2 & 3 and most of the time is 2 and 3rd gear repeat (rpm about up to max 4K)

Once I done down hill then come to highway, on the way home that time, Check Engine Light was ON.

I stop my car at road side for 20 minutes and start engine again, it was still ON, then i just drive home off engine for few hours, then try start engine , it was still ON.

This morning i start engine again, it was still ON ! Then i drive to nearby Proton Authorize SC, stop my car there ask the technician come out to have a look. Now the problem is, the lights go off after i start engine.... (wired huh shocking.gif )

No matter i try how many time start engine it was off already.

Question is : Do this really ok ? I ask the SC to check see can detect error code or not from the ECU. He told me , if wanna do diagnose gonna pay RM64 shocking.gif
( He say was listed in the user manual gonna pay )


And he told me that light is normal whistling.gif shocking.gif


Anybody facing this b4 ?

Car baru 8 month old, still got warranty.

However, maybe he did not saw the Check Engine Light, so told me gonna pay RM64 for request diagnosis

i kena b4.. but not check engine light..
is the engine oill.
cause that time i travel .raining.
and water herre and ethere,
and i suspected maybe the wire wet gua,.,.
atfer drive for 1/2 hour.. the light no longer light up
*
At first i suspect is engine overheat as i downhill that time keep on using 2nd and 3rd gear repeatedly....
but the water temperature is just 80 Celsius which is normal.

So far i remember i din pass any flood place. Because downhill all water was goto the longkang already.
Just wet floor after rain that kind.

Now the light no longer on anymore. I just worries is it safe to continue drive.

Thats why asking any of you face this problem b4 ?

Suppose to be remain on until the error been solve and reset. But this one turn off itself.

last time when i drove down from cameron highland during wet weather, the light also went up.
then i ask about it here and some suggested that it might be the fuel lid not tight, but i dun think that is the reason.
then just after a day, when i start my car again, the light when off.

now i believe the probable reason will be the O2sensor. just maybe.
K.Lee, so for the moment your car no smell alr? nice.
*
So at the end , did you went to SC for check ? or just ignore it ?

i heard that when the engine warning lights up, a log will be made in the ECU, is it correct?
since then the engine warning never light up, and i did ask them about during my regular service to check the ECU, but they told me nothing wrong detected.
*
Ya, based on many website regarding on the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT , they will have a record on the system , and the light will not OFF until the problem is solve and the light status been reset.

Since my case is it already off itself automatically..... thats what i worry about, i got no prove and the record might not in the computer.

Anyone has idea on sour smell aircon?It comes out for about 5 sec afta starting the car.Then its gone..I changed the cooling coil,filter,drier.

Any solution bro?

Same here and more strong if off temperature, if you have solution, please PM me too.

I had tried ask AC SC to disassemble and found out the cooling coil (empat segi) got one of the corner got that smell and very strong...after wash , install balik, the sour smell gone , left is new car plastic smell which is still acceptable.

BUT.....this stupid sour smell come back after just few days.

As what I told onijoseph before, it may be a case of pressure difference in fuel tank that causes the engine check light to come on. A loose fuel cap is also possible, but I changed my views a little bit on that. A loose fuel cap may cause the engine light to come up as the fuel pump requires pressure to work (for carburetor cars), and that the change or lack in pressure can be detected by the fuel pump sensor in the tank (both carburetor AND fuel injection cars), thus causing the light to be on. If the fuel tank is tightly shut, when you go uphill/downhill there are pressure changes around the tank, but not in the tank.

Guys that've been up Genting with me before in my car would know exactly what I'm saying. All the empty bottles lying in my car that are tightly sealed expand/shrank due to pressure changes. Good demo. laugh.gif

But if you send your car to SC and they check, even if the light is already off, there still should be a log of what's bad.

How I wish that it's like BMW/Porsche's system where they tell you directly what's the problem on the dashboard monitor doh.gif
O2Sensor? An O2Sensor that's not working will not suddenly jump back to work. I'm not saying that a faulty O2Sensor would not cause the engine light to come up, but if it's left untouched and your car is still new, there is no reason it would cause the engine check light on.

Understand what you mean, however authorize SC such as pride region was asking for RM64 for check.
I think i gonna go pure proton edar sc for a free check.

That fellow told me the owner's manual got mention diagnosis is not free.

Ambi Pur ? hmmm hmm.gif plan to get one and put on my aircond.
Actually i got one lavender smell which ppl put on the cupboard.

But .... seems like not helping coz the smell is stronger then the fragrance.

hmm.gif weird

coz I suspect is just some kind of sensor is wet, hence the check engine light is on. Then after a few days, the sensor kering balik so the light is gone. Quite common case in Saga if the car went through flood. But your car dint go for a swim... hmm.gif
*
I think might be the petrol tank pressure which mention by xandras

But also wired this morning is still Light ON until i reach SC off engine and start again.

By the way, since now already off, i plan to drive until coming saturday send to Maluri Proton Edar SC check check see how later.

As long as the light is not Blinking , is still ok for drive.

Hahaha looks like we gonna blacklist all shiang hin's SC (kecuali the one at Jalan Tun Razak which the 1st one found the metal knocking sound if i not wrong)

I think that one also belongs to shiang hin, coz i found their address in shiang hin website also.
