Engine light on

AH you did not say it was a thunderbird so I am not sure. I do know if you mess it up the wifey will have a 09 Rocket Of course she will probably put a real MC tire on it

I think it's just upset cos you never took it to Maggie Valley

Yes, you can use TuneECU on your TBird Nolton - any Triumph actually - just plug in your cable & read (& reset) the code.
I think it's always important to at least see what code it is and then determine what you need to do about it.

Incidentally you could disconnect battery, put ECU on shelf for a year and plug it in and it would STILL show code.
Even if light goes off after three full warm-up/cool-down cycles (not just starts on/off) - which would mean whatever fault tripped light initially is not a current problem - the code that caused the trip would still be in memory (and readable by TuneECU) for 40 more warm-up/cool-down cycles.

I knew I should have asked you.

At the RAA last weekend my engine light came on. Looked down and noticed the gear indicator was showing I was in first gear. I was really in fifth gear at the time. After three restarts the light went off and the indicator went back to normal.

Any ideas what happened in my situation? Do I need to clean the gear shift sensor or something?

yes clean the gear position sensor.

 

[Triple Trouble]

Yes I did.

Did the engine light come on that time? No it didn't. Did it come on when you no showed last weekend?.........Say no more.
Just yanking your chain. Missed you mate
