"engine check system failure" warning light on 360?

[tony m]

does anyone know if this is serious problem,ive read the handbook but i need to get in touch with the dealer,has anyone else had this light come on?

I had this when I had a 360 Spider. Try switching the battery save switch in the front "boot" to off position, wait a few minutes then switch it back to "on" position. It worked for me. This tip came from a dealer and his advice was if the engine is running OK it is probably one of the sensors which has an error as if engine has problem it goes into limp home mode. I hope this helps.

so where in the boot is that switch?ive never noticed it,

left hand side rear. its a small black t shaped plastic handle. insert and turn. note if you close bonnet/boot you will need to know where the manual release is to reopen as without power the switch wont work.

Exactly the same thing happened to me too a couple of days ago. Must be the cold weather. Was told that as long as the engine is not losing any power it's likely just a sensor fault. Get your dealer to plug their diagnostic computer in. Takes 30 secs and they can pinpoint what has tripped the caution and reset it. Was also told not to worry too much as it's a common problem.
