Description of problem
What to do
Engine fault light or
other warning light
comes on and stays
on after installing the
RaceChip.
A warning light on the
dashboard comes
on and stays on after
installation of the
RaceChip
• If a warning light (eg engine fault light) comes on, it does
not automatically mean something is wrong with the engine.
The lamp can simply be a measure programmed by the
manufacturer to protect the engine; it can be triggered if a
cable is disconnected from a sensor when there was still
power in the system, for instance. (An indication that this
might be the case is if the Digital User Interface lit up as
soon as it was connected to the car’s electrics; it should only
receive power when the ignition is switched on) Please follow
the steps below carefully until you have found the cause of
the warning lamp and fixed it.
• De-install the RaceChip wiring harness to the point that you
can reconnect all the connections in your car as they were
before you started installing the RaceChip. Lock the car and
wait ca 30 minutes before starting the engine If the warning
light still stays on, stopping and restarting the engine several
times or waiting for even longer can sometimes help
• If the warning lights have gone out, you can re-install the
RaceChip. Make sure the ignition is off and wait at least
15 minutes before disconnecting the sensors. When the
installation is complete, double check all the connections to
ensure the connectors are joined correctly and tightly. Please
connect the Deactivation plug to the wiring harness and start
the engine again
• If the warning lights do not come on, switch off the engine
again and wait for 15 minutes. You can now replace the
Deactivation plug with the RaceChip and start the engine
again
• If the warning lights come on again now, please contact our
Customer Service (see
