Yellow Check engine lamp

Hi,

The yellow exploded engine warning light has come on, on the dash board this morning.  The owner manual says its emissions. its running absolutely fine.

Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks in advance

Heather

Re: Yellow Check engine lamp

Do you mean this one? If so it's just a generic warning light, it'll need a diagnostic tool plugging in to find the actual fault code

Re: Yellow Check engine lamp

it depends on the year i guess if its a pre 2007 van the light is not caused by much as not much makes this light come on so i have found. the most common thing is having sensors unplugged like the mass air flow sensor. the van still runs without it but you get the light come on

just to note if you are worried about it not passing an MOT, the check engine light is not a test item on vehicles older than 2008. however they may advise it but its not a fail item.
