EOBD/injection system failure
(amber)
Under normal conditions, when the ignition key is turned to MAR-ON,
the warning light switches on, but should switch off as soon as the
engine is started.
If the warning light remains on or comes on whilst driving, it means
that the injection system is not working properly; in particular, if the
warning light comes on constantly, this indicates a malfunction in the
supply/ignition system that could cause excessive exhaust emissions, a
possible loss of performance, poor driveability and high fuel
consumption.
A specific message is displayed on certain versions.
Under these conditions, you may continue travelling at moderate speed
without demanding excessive effort from the engine. Prolonged use of
the car with the warning light on may cause damage.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
The warning light goes out after the fault disappears, but the
notification is stored in the system.
NOTE (valid only for petrol engines)
If the warning light is flashing, this indicates that the catalytic converter
may be damaged.
If the warning light comes on intermittently, release the accelerator
pedal to lower the speed of the engine until the warning light stops
flashing; continue the journey at moderate speed, trying to avoid
driving conditions that may cause further flashing and contact Alfa
Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible.
Contact Alfa Romeo Authorized Services as soon as possible
if the warning light does not light up or if, while
travelling, the warning light comes on either constantly or
flashing (in combination with a message on the display on some
versions). The operation of warning light may be checked by the
traffic police using specific devices. Follow the laws in force in the
country where you are driving.
