A few weeks ago my engine management light started to come on when i was doing bout 60 - 70 and decelerating, round about the same time i put my new Head Unit in.
So i decided one morning on my way to work to not turn my head unit on and my Engine management light did not come on!? so the next day i did the same and it still did not come on. So i finally then drove the same route with my head unit playing and the EML came on, when i was doing bout 60 - 70 decelerating.
Im guessing that my head unit is the probally the problem and ive wired it up wrong as i did need to play around with the plugs swapping wires around to make it work in the first place, its just ive never heard a Head Unit making an Engine Management light appear.
Help and advice much appriciated
