Title: Management lights
Post by: AndyD_1961 on 05 March 2012, 14:31:31
Hi
I have a 2.2 petrol and have just bought a 3.2.
Now when you turn on the ignition on the 2.2 the spanner light comes on and goes out after a few seconds and the engine light goes out after starting.
The 3.2 is the complete opposite spanner stays on till started and the engine goes out after a few seconds.
The owners manual says they should be the same.
Can someone with a 3.2 let me know if mine is right
Andy

Are you saying that the one with spanner symbol is staying on while driving? Thats the service light. When i had that the steering felt slightly heavier, fuel consumption was massive also.
I went to the garage who put it on diagnostics and it turned off but i still had a service completed a week later.
The other light is engine managment. As Tango said, if they both go out on start up you have nothing to worry about.

Hi
They both go out once started but the owners manual says that the 2.2 and the 3.2 should do the same and mine are completely opposite.
I know the 2.2 is right it does as it says in the manual so am hoping someone with a 3.2 will tell me what theirs does on turning on the ignition

No such thing as a service light on an Omega.

The spanner light, staying on, on a 2.2 means you have a fault, you need to ger it diagnosed with a code reader, and report back here with the codes.
