    Default EGR Valve, Engine Management Light & Spanner Light

    Hello peeps,

    I have removed my EGR valve in order to clean it and then replaced it. I did however make one mistake, when I started it back up I forgot to plug the electrical connector back in, oops. Now I have an engine management light on that just will not go away and I have heard that this is because I turned on the ignition with the disconnected cable. Does anyone know how to reset the light? The spanner light also comes up on startup but then goes away again, I presume that this is because the EM light is on?

    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

    hi,
    try disconnecting the battery for at least 20 mins, this should reset the ecu......
    ensure you have your radio code if applicable...

    Doesnt it automatically reset the light after so many restarts without the fault?

    I tried this a couple of weeks ago but didnt work unfortunately. If you think the same though it might mean that there is something properly wrong with it that is causing the light to stay on?! Thanks for the response though!

    Hmm... not sounding good, I made the mistake with the EGR valve about 4 weeks ago now and use my car very regularly. Maybe there is something properly gone wrong then

    It might be worth getting it plugged into a CANBUS code reader to double check there are no other genuine faults - these can reset the warning lights and ecu also, take a look at this:

    I'm having a similar issue at the moment and I'm seriously considering buying a decent code reader
