check engine light

[R ichard]

Afternoon guys, brought a 2007 ford  falcon xr6 with 118,000KMs cars making 290HP on 98 fuel,1st nice car I have owned before,

had it around 4 months, few weeks ago I was driving to work when a dog run out on the road just before I was going over a speed bump I hit the right front wheel kind of hard and the check engine light came on, now it idles/drives  rough   I took it to the ford dealership for a service and  a check over and they reckon its because there's no cat catalytic converter on the exhaust, ford hooked the car up but the cars computer wouldn't talk to there's, guessing the shop who tuned the car has locked the ecu?   do you reckon its worth getting ford to replace the oxygen sensors and see if that fix's it?

thanks for reading this

Buy a scan tool and show us the codes ( can buy the elm237 adaptor for 15 bucks, and download torque Pro app for $5)

thanks for the reply  Gaz, if the fords dealership gear wont talk to the computer do you think this would?

Can read codes easy. Ford can't fix the issue if there is a high flow cat fitted hence sending you on your way.

 

Actually you should be able to read the codes on your xcal box
