LPG causes the engine fault light to come on. What is the normal behavior of the check engine lamp? How do I turn off the LPG engine fault lamp?
The reason LPG vehicles have an engine fault lamp is technical. It’s because the vehicle’s oxygen sensor and catalytic converter detect fuel consumption differences.
The installers will often present this scenario to the customer as though it were a normal one. The installers will often say, “A vehicle that uses LPG lights up, nothing occurs” to ensure that the customer feels relieved and comfortable.
This is a small example of the fact that vehicles of the same brand can light the fault lamp in different ways. It is also a proof that mastery and lack of calibration are both factors. Also, a good master and a good calibration do not light the engine fault lamps in vehicles with LPG installed.
Before you make a decision on which kit to fit your vehicle, do extensive research on the market. Have the kit installed by someone else (same brand as your vehicle), and drive approximately 20-30 000 km. Refer to some people who have been there and done it well. If you’re looking to install LPG in your new vehicle, you should consider a factory-contracted brand. LPG installation won’t affect the vehicle’s engine warranty. BRC, Kitmtm, and GFI all guarantee that the engine fault lamps will not turn on after LPG installations.
Engine Malfunction Lamp Burning Causes
- The rich-lean mixture could cause the engine fault lamp to come on. A rich mixture is when there is more fuel than air in the combustion chamber. If the fuel is too high, the engine will start to burn. This can cause the engine fault lamp light to go on, as well as burning your vehicle. You must calibrate your vehicle correctly. You can also cause this situation by not fitting the correct injector nozzles during assembly.
- Injectors not being installed in the right place or leaving injector hose lengths too long without correct adjustment can result in an engine fault lamp.
- The MAP settings may not correctly detect the values, and low pressure can cause lean mixture and illuminate the engine fault lamp.
- For LPG, the ideal engine temperature is 40 degrees. If you attempt to change to gas earlier, it may cause misfire.
- Ecu’s inability to adjust injector milliseconds accurately may cause a lean mixture. It can also lighten the engine fault lamp.
- Easy calibration, loading the ready calibrated of another vehicle to the vehicle could cause an engine fault lamp to light up. It cannot match your vehicle’s exact values.
- Incompatible lpg injectors may be installed to your vehicle. An incorrectly connected injector cable sequence could also cause the engine fault lamp to light.
The engine fault lamp is vital to the safety of your vehicle. You will not be able understand the serious consequences of constant burning. You should never use your vehicle this way. You should not use any extinguishing techniques with cheating methods, such as pulling the light cable or attaching extra parts.
