Inspection lights

[ah]

My oil service lit up with an yellow warning light aswell all normal and now inspection has lit up aswell, so ive got both lit up at once ?

[Satan]

On the dash or the overhead panel.

Overhead panel check oil level on the dash reset the light as its only a reminder for an oil change. Info in WiKi I believe.

[ah]

both on dashboard

[Satan]

The yellow light on the dash by the inspection count down traffic lights means time to change the oil, the one on the over head panel means low oil level so get the dipstick out and check the oil if its fine it could be dodgy wire to tor the sensor for the oil.

If the red one on the dash comes on sop immediately and panic as you have lost oil pressure.

Photos do help to resolve issues in a timely manner...... ;o)))))

Hi ah

I've seen this before and sometimes the lights can be reset.
However IIRC it means the SI board is on the way out.

Finally someone has read my post properly and given me an answer.

I've had this before and a reset sorted it with no extra dramas.

No reason whatsoever why inspection and oil service lights should be on together by coincidence.
Inspection is a simple 365 day alarm clock and oil service is determined by engine operating conditions and mileage covered.
Double reset will extinguish all.
