Emission Warning Light was created by bryn
I have an 2011 Jimny which is running fine with no apparent issues but after a long run today the yellow emission warning light has come on (left hand side of the dash). Petrol consumption is fine and no smokey exhaust so I’m at a loss. I did a quick google and tightened the petrol filler cap but it’s still there, so your help is much appreciated. I’m guessing I’m going to have to clean or replace some sensors. 

Thanks in anticipation

As in the little yellow engine symbol? You will need to plug it into a diagnostic machine which will give you codes to check which sensor you need to look at.

I don’t have an emissions warning light on my 2011, so think it is the Check Engine Light as mentioned by Lambert.

That can come on for a variety of reasons, emissions or a failed CAT is just one of them. As already mentioned you need a OBD code reader to check for faults and see what has failed.

Unfortunately that obd code reader recommended by Pheaton isn’t compatible with my iPhone. Can anyone recommend one please

And just for clarity it’s the yellow engine management light which I have assumed is the emissions light. Thanks

Hi Bryn.
Mine came on too today. Cold and wet where you are too? My cat is a bit too big and the down pipe is also too big and not insulated anymore.
When my cat get cold it is insufficient and I get the corresponding fault code. I delete and reset as said above here, and then a couple of months until next time it comes back.
