2013 Aventador CEL Issues

Recommended Posts

Recently I added a catless test pipe (with bung) and using the original exhaust muffler, after 10miles of driving, engine check light was on, it is indicated as "start/stop failure. I have it reset at local agent but it came back again. I read on other chats that a o2 spacer might help. I'm sure someone in this chat might have solves this issue, pls help !

 

I love the exhaust note with lots of crackers/popping now but I hate the see the check lights. Any solution for this ?

Which CEL is permanently on? That certainly isn't normal. Are you running an aftermarket exhaust system and that's why is it on? I am slightly confused by your post.

He’s a good Friend of mine. He removed his stock Cats and put on powercraft testpipes

I see, so that’s what’s causing it.

Both capristo and novitec sell plug in o2 simulators for the ecu to stop this.

 

Would really annoy me to keep getting warning lights, one day it might be something that it actually needs to warn you about that you ignore.

Are you on aftermarket exhaust ? I tried disable the start/stop but it still throw CEL, the warning is “ start/stop failure ”

 

I asked the local agent, why does start/stop got to do with aftermarket exhaust, their reply is ,when there is a o2 problem, start/stop will fail

Agree with that, CEL is an eyesore and it's very annoying. NoVitec products will not work together with different brands , eg. My friend had a ipe exhaust with test pipes that throws CEL, He install the novitec CEL Cancelor, it wont work. Workshop over here also mention that it will only work with noVitec exhaust

 

Therefore I'm thinking to add a o2 spacer, does anyone have it installed on their ride ? I'm asking because adding o2 spacer is alot of work, I may end up paying for the product and labour for something that won't work.

A O2 spacers / non fouler has a 50/50 chance of working.

The reason your CEL is triggered is because due to the absence of cats the secondary O2 sensors is picking up a rich AFR reading.

They also make O2 spacers that have cat material in them, these work better than the spacers.

Hi,

 

There's a guy here in Australia who's installed an Akrapovic catless down pipe, with no CEL. I'm told Akrapovic pipes are best to avoid any CEL errors.

 

Also, I'm in two minds about what to do with my exhaust. I'm looking at replacing the muffler or what you did. Why did you go the catless pipe? Does it make that much a difference to stock system? and do you know how your set up compares to a muffler only system?

It is catless and was remove from my friends car and installed on my car. His is a 2011 car without CEL, mine is a 2013 using the same test pipe but with CEL. I also wonder why.

 

Noticeable diff is when u downshift or release yr gas pedal, u will have lots of popping sound from the exhaust. (Sounds like fire crackers). Original do have popping sound as well but soft.

 

I hoping for fellow forummer to gives me some advice too on how to settle the CEL issues. I may just drive it with CEL on because I love the sound
