dstaab Report post Posted December 13, 2010 Can you guys help me out with what this symbol means? Just got the car a couple weeks ago and it didn't come with an owner's manual. Here are a couple more pictures of the car: Thanks for your help, David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted December 13, 2010 It's a check engine light for cylinders 1 to 5. You'll need to scan the car to read the code in order to find out what caused the check engine light. It could be sensor failure. A common ODBII code reader will tell you. Any generic shop would be able to do it with a cheap handheld scanner.

Turbo50Mike Report post Posted December 13, 2010 If it's getting cold where you're at, it's probably the misfire tubes getting some condensation in them. As dj says, just have it scanned, and let us know what code pops up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dstaab Report post Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks for the information. I'll run it by the dealership when I get back in town and let you know what happens. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
djantlive Report post Posted December 13, 2010 You can pick up a cheap scanner from Amazon like this one that I have. Dealer often feed you bogus info which result in expensive fixes. http://www.amazon.com/Autel-AULMS310-MaxiS...0198&sr=8-1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really a big deal. I don't know if much can be done to 'fix' it, some people say the stainless steel replacement tubes from Ricambi help to reduce its frequency. Other people say that eventually the moisture in the tubes could cause the misfire sensor to fail, but I didn't have anything like that. To the OP, either get a cheap scanner, or some places like AutoZone, or PepBoys will loan scanners out for free, or scan your car for free.

colorinc Report post Posted December 14, 2010 i live in michigan and get this when it gets cold out i usually just reset it with a cheap code scanner and im good to go until i get another tank of fuel with what seem to be a lot of water in it lol condensation has a ton to do with it tim If it's getting cold where you're at, it's probably the misfire tubes getting some condensation in them.

djantlive Report post Posted December 14, 2010 For that that have the misfire tube issue, what code / message do you get when you scan it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkriste Report post Posted May 8, 2011 It happens frequently and not really a big deal. Warm your car up before you drive... especially if you have aftermarket exhaust. There can be up to 1 liter of condensation in the system, which needs to get out, otherwise it throughs the warning light. However, once the warning light is on, you have to run the car for a while as once the computer has re-run the system check 5 times w/o codes, it will reset and the warning light with disappear.

Chipster Report post Posted September 17, 2017 Hijacking this. Finished my clutch install and cranked the car up. Moved it back in R and forward in first (manual) and it's moving fine but I have a light on the dash that is an exclamation point in a triangle surrounded by a near circle of an arrow line. Any ideas what this Is? AWD system? Don't have a manual. Guessing there is a plug I missed reconnecting. I remember the 2 in the rear on the trans/dif. The one beneath the air box and the one at the bottom of the oil reservoir. Is there one on the passenger side engine near the bellhousing for the front driveshaft? I can crawl up under there again but wanted to check what the warning light is. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jefflambo Report post Posted September 17, 2017 Did you have battery disconnected? sure you did. It sound like the ESP light. Its on because the steering angle sensor needs reprogramed. Just drive the car around the block should reprogram sensor. Best I can do with out pic of the warning light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did undo the battery and I did see something in Google searches about steering. Picture below is not from me but basically what the symbol is. I thought it might be something with the battery because all my electrical plugs are connected. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
