EEL light - Page 2

patphnx · 29-09-2016, 09:43 AM

I get a light pretty often (every 2-3 months). I'm running a full Miltek system with 100 cel cats.

I use this device:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WiFi-WLAN-...MAAOxyRhBS9l5F

Paired with this app:

https://www.obdsoftware.net/software/obdfusion

It lets me read the codes and clear them. 9/10 times it's this code:

- P0430 - Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold

The only time it showed any other code was when my SMG pump was on the way out.

It's not a serious diagnostic tool by any stretch, but it's useful to travel with on road trips and track days, and will clear repetitive exhaust codes on the move.

If you have Harry's Lap Timer on your iPhone, this code reader will also link in to this App to display rpm and throttle position on your video
