| Post subject: | OBD light question |
Want to pose a question regarding the OBD light on the dash (yellow one that looks like an engine)...during a 450 mile trip to NC I had the light come on and got a little nervous being so far away from home. I was really hoping that it would not start flashing and thankfully it didn't. Took it to an Autozone in NC and had them scan it but it not throw a code with a scanner even though the light was on (makes me think it is a dealer specific code). There is no change in the drive of the car, and no difference in engine response. Just wanted to know if anyone has has a similar issue and what was the diagnosis? I plan to take it to the dealer on Monday but any thoughts would ease my mind a little so I know if it might be something long-term or that could happen again because my warranty is about up. I know the problem is a little vague since I have not taken it in yet but I figured I'd give all the experts a crack at it. Thanks. |

Some scanners do not work with the CRD. Just becuase their scanner didn't pull a code doesn't mean you don't have a code tripped. I'd find another place and try their scanner. |

Has F31 been done? It was for aftermarket scanners not working with our crd's. I have a vag-com and it would not work with my crd till F31 was done. Now it works properly. |

Lots of times the code will go away, if the problem that caused it goes away, after a few engine shut downs. |
