Can't remember the fault code no but the explaination is torque request unfufilled by ems I think.Hope this helpsNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it scanned came up wth a steering wheel angle sensor code! Was able to re calibrate the sensor wth the scan tool n delete code, light has been off for about 3 weeks now!
