My Worst Nightmare.. Another CEL Post- Help? Brisbane?

[3MPSPWR]

Hi Guys,

So on the way home today from work i had a CEL come on... Car is a Gen 2 2009 Luxury, never had a CEL ever.

I've had the CP-e TIP, SRI and HKS SSQV running recirculated for at least more than 10,000km -15,000km and have no issues so far.

I recently installed a Ultimate Racing full turbo back exhaust with a highflow cat (400 cel i got told) which shouldn't really be a problem as its not 200 cel or less. I've been running the exhaust for probably close to 4000km already.

I would like to find out what code its putting out? Does anyone have an OBD reader in Brisbane (i'm in southside)? Dash hawk? Please rescue me!!

I'm not sure if its safe to drive but on the way home nothing seemed to be dramatically wrong - no lose in power or anything.

Please let me know, my number is 0423452386 i'm not always home on the forum, if you could help me out that would be great!

Edwin by the sounds of it,it will be fine to drive but a check would be in place, I'd say the sensor in the exhaust isn't coming up to temp and it's coming on...

We should be good to drive down the coast it sounds more that the temp not coming up to speed, we had a similar thing happen with Col when we got to Rockhampton after putting on a new 3" SRI the day before we left Cairns and when we filled up in Rocky 20k's down the track the light come on and we drove all the way to brissy and went off the next morning, than it come on in the afternoon and went away within an hour 2 days later we tracked it at Qld Raceway and it come on again as we got the Gympie the next morning and stayed on all the way to Cairns and went out for a day come on for 1/2 a day and hasn't come back.... Just settling in

PS: I had Col worried told him it would be fine what could go wrong nah i was expecting the light to come on and was surprised it took so long......

True.. Yea i should try and still get it read to see if its SRI at fault or the exhaust. I've ran the SRI wayy longer than i have for the exhaust tho.. Which begs the question whether its the exhaust thats at fault.. But what do u mean by the temp not coming up to speed? I have been driving it fairly easy the last week. especially after the long drive yesterday down the coast. just put it on cruise control the whole way, boost hardly came on lol

In my case I had the exhaust done by a mob in Geebung and the sensor wasn't in the right position so it was a hit and miss and depending on the day ' weather cool/hot ' my light would come on only in extreme conditions,* one * like going to bathurst from brissy different temp outside in the 3 years i had the car it only come on 3 or 4 times and I had most of the work done before I took delivery of the car from new and in Col's case the ecu was calculating the air mix with the new 3" from the 2 1/2" he had and as we hit cooler weather the light come on and stayed on all the way to brissy come on a couple of times probs adjusting to brissy weather and was fine until we headed back to cairns a week later and flicked on and off a couple times and as stayed off ever since. Hope this helps and I think Col went to the mechanics a week after I left and they just reset and all was fine, so I'd say all it needs is resetting, but it will depend on the exhaust system to how good it is where the sensor is positioned.....
