Thread: Skoda Octavia: testing engine electronics

After a service and changing the timing belt on my Octavia 1.9 diesel the "testing engine electronics" warning light has come on, but unlike before does not go off after the engine has started. I do not know if this is in relation to the service/timing belt change, however though I would mention this in case this could be the cause. Does anyone know how to turn this off, or what is at fault?

I have read the manual and it does not state how to turn off/reset this light.

Here's some pictures of the warning light

Cheers for that mate, does the software that comes with the cable need registering ie do you need to buy a registering code/key for it, like say windows or other software, or will it just work when you install the cd/software onto your laptop?

As it appears on this listing that some features only work until you register, but does not mention a registering cost.

Thanks for your help its much appreciated by the way

Check here for more info

There,s a good bit of info on their site, and once you've got the OBDII cable you can use a whole different load of software's and on other vehicles fitted with OBDII sockets also.

Vag commander is also a good software,

I've used the shareware version of Vag-com for sometime now, and it has always helped me out.

Ok thanks for your help, I will let you know how I get on! :thumbs:

Thanks got it read, it was due to a pipe on the turbo being disconnected and caused low pressure at that time. However the fault was reset, and the light has not come back on. Thanks for your help mate!
