ecu falt code MIL Light

[mannkork]

Hi I´m a German TVR Cerbera Driver and a few days ago the MIL Light from my cerbi went on. In the handbook they say: drive slowly to the next TVR dealer but this is in Germany a real problem so I diceced to help myself (I´m working in an office and I don´t know much about the electric from modern cars). I bought the software a while ago and I had it on my laptop but I did not connect it to the car because it was not nesessary. Today I did the following: in the passangers footwell I found the box with a Sticker MBE Systems on it, I opend the box and there is the plug to connect with a serial 9 pin cabel which I had in stock from the computer in my office. At my laptop click on conecction and I saw all the data coming for the car. My fault was only the Airtemp sensor, the cabel was just off. I put it again and the MIL light went off and I´m happy.

Regards from Germany and sorry for my bad english

There you go, just a modicum of common sense is all that's needed most of the time!

Your english is no doubt much better than most of us could speak or write german well done

Out of interest 'mannkork' what sort of reaction does the Cerb get in the land of Porsche's?
And why not meet up with us all at the Cerburgring mext year? (see the thread)
And well done for sorting your car out - You Germans are so efficient
