Title: 1211 fault code
Post by: Vladi on October 03, 2007, 03:56:41 PM

I used the pedal test and it turned out 1211 - DME Fault. :D
What's the idea? The engine runs great. :)

Its pretty rare to see a 1211 fault, because generally speaking the ECU is bad and cannot output fault codes.

Ok so i changed the ground cable between the engine and chassis yesterday and the check engine light turned off (read first post). Drove the car about 10km and it lit up again, throwing 1226. Nice improvement. :rolleyes:
