Engine check light

[H15 UTE]

Yeah done the surchy thing but to no avail!

I have an LS1 which is throwing up a check engine light, it only does so at 1500+ RPM, no fault codes showing and all seems OK, Any idea's?

Some faults need to trip on more than one occasion for a DTC to be set. Keep looking if it happens again.

Any other symptoms?

Have you got efilive or anything to log the ute with? Although if its a BCM issue that won't help either.

Roger at the Fish is a great source of info, maybe you could call him. He did have an LS1 Ute before

If the light is on, there must be codes

Hi Stevie

Light comes on at 1500 rpm, no codes showing?

[stevieturbo]

And how are you retreiving the codes ?

[neiljohnson]

If the faults in the bcm you cant read them with a eobd code reader

[ringram]

If you are near J22/M25 which is near A1 and M1 M25 interchange I can scan then for you. Let me know. Often codes are recorded as historical and not current. But are still in the ECU. I can also reset them to see if they come back and decide etc. Let me know

Thanks for the offer Ringram but a little too far away at the mo, Cheers anyway

A "european" style scanner almost certainly wont read the codes. If the engine check light is one, there will be a code.

I had a similar prob in my VT Commodore ended up being a knock sensor on the way out. Would reset and hide the code in history when on the tech 2

Hope this helps

Cheap fix if it is.
