I also have warning lights

[Dalek]

Every now and again these two lights come on when driving. The performance is not affected and when I restart they go out and everything is OK.
This has happened a couple of times now.
Any ideas?

Get it plugged in probably one of the sensors is about to fail .
When the light has come on the fault causing it will be logged on the ecu.
When you turn car off as long as when you restart the fault not there the lights go off .
But at some point it wont.
When lights are on traction or abs or both wont work

I also get them come every now and again, the code reader fault is n/s rear wheel sensor on mine, do you get the ABS buzz on the brake pedal at all,

Looks like your car is overdue an inspection and brake fluid change, sensors best replaced at same time likely.

 

[Dalek]

Thanks both. She is booked in for a full service so will get it sorted then

Presume you've checked your brake fluid level?

Yes, checked and OK.

Those are the two lights that are permanently on in my 2.2. According to the handbook the DSC is faulty. The car is safe to drive but the DSC won't work. It has to be fixed before the next MOT in December. Going for diagnosis on Wednesday.

Something as innocent as washing the car can stuff the sensors up temporarily.

I never knew that!

It's happened to me a couple of times. It would probably have happened more times but I don't wash my car as frequently as some people

I've also got the engine warning light on
But the garage can't find anything wrong with my Z
And she still drive ok

I find it unlikely there would be no error stored. That's why the light comes on in the first place. Unless there's a faulty connection making the light come on for no reason.

The garage put my Z on the diagnostic machine
And nothing came up
I've got the read out here
But I don't know what it means really
I can post a photo if you want

 

[Shelly]

Here are the photos of my diagnostic test
Perhaps @t-tony and @Stevo7682 can have a look for me too

As others have said it is most likely a sensor fault which should show up in the stored codes.
Just so that you are aware it can also be caused by the abs control module having a fault. A few of us have had this and it is down to a dry solder joint in the control unit. A new unit is big money, but they can be independently repaired ( or there is a DIY) repair so don't panic if you ar e quoted silly money for a garage fix.
Let us know the outcome of the diagnosis and I am sure we will help you find a sensible fix. Ask for a report showing the stored fault codes and post them so we can understand the issue.
Good luck.

Hi Shelly the 1st page shows the system check ( highlights several logged faults )
2nd page lists what they all are there could be a number of reasons for each fault thats showing from low battery voltage to electronic glitch to fauty component.
If you haven't had the car diagnosed for a while some of the faults could have been present for a while .
I think personally rather than looking into lots of stuff (now I'm assuming that the car has been driving ok here ) i would get all the fault codes cleared from the memory ( now obviously if you do that and a code wont clear it will need dealt with ) but assuming they all clear run the car a week or 2 and get it plugged back in see what is there then investigate the returned faults .
Stephen.

Thank you for your help @Stevo7682
The garage did clear the dashboard for me but within a day the light came back on again
Perhaps I'll take the Z back and let them have a look at the Z again

 

[Stevo7682]

You need to get it plugged in again see whats back and thats whats needs looked at
