3 possibilities....

1) You may need to do a few drive cycles to auto erase the fault.

2) You still have the same or new fault

3) You need to reset the ecu to clear the record of the fault.


The only way to know for sure is to get a code reader on it !

I am 99% sure you will need to use a code reader.
Of course, it will only reset if the problem as been sorted.

Most garages should be able to help you for a small fee.
