Description of problem

What to do

Engine fault light comes 

on after a while and 

stays on

After driving with the 

RaceChip (including 

acceleration) for while, 

the engine fault light 

comes on and stays on.

•  Please stop at the next available opportunity and switch the 

engine off, but leave the ignition on On the RaceChip App, 

activate the 

EFFICIENCY

 tuning stage and then switch the 

ignition off. If the warning light went on while you were driving 

in the 

EFFICIENCY

 tuning stage, please deactivate the 

RaceChip via the RaceChip App (see 

Operation

) and skip the 

next step. Lock your car and wait for ca. 30 minutes before 

re-starting the engine If the warning light is still on, stopping 

and restarting the engine several times or leaving the car 

locked for a longer period of time may help. Take your car for 

a test drive, making sure you put the engine under load.

•  If the fault warning does not come on again during the test 

drive, please park the car and switch the engine off, but leave 

the ignition on If the 

SPORT

 tuning stage was not active 

when the fault light came on for the first time, please activate 

it now on the RaceChip App. If it was active, you can skip the 

next step and contact our Customer Service straight away. 

After selecting the 

SPORT

 tuning stage, re-start the engine 

and take your car for a test drive, making sure you put the 

engine under load. Check to see if the warning light comes on 

again
