So there may be a clue here...are you the original owner since new?
im the 3rd owner and have had the car for a year now. im quite concerned this EML wont be cleared via my carly adapter because the same codes came up before and cleared without any problems but since i took it to wayne gates this EML just wont come off and has been on ever since i left wayne on thursday but because i was in a rush i didnt bother mentioning it to him and thought i could just clear it myself anyway. any ideas what these codes are?So there may be a clue here...are you the original owner since new?
Nope I’m afraid I’m not up on Carly codes sorry - I think it needs back on Star or someone with an icarsoft MB2 to clear
I suspect it’s had a remap at some point and that’s what’s causing it the wobbles. Get it back to Terry would be my advice
I'm don't think it has been remapped because it would have been mentioned when dpf was removed but could be wrong. It was running fine the couple months after it had the dpf removed So if that was the issue would it not likely to appear straight after it was done? Yeh I will try getting it back in to terry next week and see what they can doNope I’m afraid I’m not up on Carly codes sorry - I think it needs back on Star or someone with an icarsoft MB2 to clear

a fault code is a fault code.... the diagnostic kit is either capable or not. carly should be perfectly OK if you have the paid for version not the freebie trial
its more likely a proper fault that won't go away, you need to resolve the issue.... it could well be a session on STAR has broken some pikey coding (reverted to std, which isn't what you need) to bodge around the hacking when the DPF was illegally removed or the remap.
No it isn't. The kit needs to be capable of correct interpretation of the code.a fault code is a fault code.... the diagnostic kit is either capable or not.
No it isn't. The kit needs to be capable of correct interpretation of the code.
I've said this many times - to read codes correctly a code reader has to be able to correctly interpret generic codes and manufacturer specific codes.
Those codes aren't even formatted correctly for OBD2 standards. Any code should format as an alpha prefix followed by 4 to 6 numbers generally in the format Annnn-yy where the yy is a sub code for additional information on the main code.
In this case Carly is clearly not interpreting the error correctly.
It's weird because this adapter has never had issuers removing any fault and if there was really a issue it would just pop back up after I switch the engine off then back on again.
I feel like it's just too much of a coincidence that since I took it to terry this has happened. So I doubt anything serious has just so happened to appear unless it has been fiddled with. It's Possible but wouldn't a diagnostic just read code and clear code not software??
A fault code is stored in memory as a series of 1s and 0s, in most cases combined to form hexadecimal words.don't follow your logic, a fault code is a fault code... whether that code is one you like or not, that's all it is.
If the diagnostics kit can "correctly interpret" that code is a different matter.
