Hello,
I've recently started getting an "Increased Emissions" I-drive warning along with a SeS light on the dash.
Since then, I have always cleared the code via Inpa, but at random times it comes back. ( I noticed it comes back when the car is idling for a period of 40sec-1min)
My question is, can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to Diagnose this problem to find out what needs to be replaced/looked at? I have DIS 57 and SSS but I am not so sure as to where to find the problem regarding the exhaust system. I used DIS to lookout SGM problems, but I am unaware of how to diagnose the Emission code with it. (If this helps, I also had a free flowing muffler put on the car, not sure if that is whats causing the light, even though it used to come on before the muffler was put on)
I read that this could be caused by many things such as gas cap, PCV faulty, Disa valve, crankcase and or thermostat. I just am not sure where to start looking.
My second question, Could someone decipher this for me? I have issues with Mp3 playability, so I decided to check the CIP my car is on by getting into the secret menu and looking under Versionkontroller. The last item states: (03-2010_I-450_20080201_1033) I referenced it across the CIP list I found online, and it does not match with anything on it) Etc: 05-12-510 or something along those lines.
Thank you guys!
Thank you guys!
