Warning light with Spanner
« on: 17 May 2014, 09:27:00 »

Hi,

on a cold start the warning light with a spanner comes on. Leave it running for few minutes switch off engine and then start again no warning lights. what it could be and how can I diagnose?

Also another problem which seems like auto gear box problem. When pulling off on first gear, its like pulling a heavy truck until it gets to 4th gear. I tried with sports mode it got stuck to 1st gear and started jerking. May be needed an ATF change?

Thanks for your help guys  :y

Unfortunately not. A generic code reader should be good enough to give a clue though.  :y

Sadly, you need a decent code reader capable of reading at least the engine and gearbox, and possibly the ABS, for this
