Engine management light has come on. Does it need ECU remap?

1. do a search mate covered alot
2. the search will show threads saying go to garage and get diagnostics run on it to show the fault code

try disconnecting lambdas for a bit and then leaving battery off for a bit, see what it does, if it comes back on take it somewhere to get diagnostics, wouldnt go straight to citroen tho they cost a bomb some places

Doesn't need a remap, but you will need to have your car connected to diagnostics computer to find out why its on, and then get the problem sorted.

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes. Sometimes the light will turn itself off after a few drives. :)

When i put my 4-2-1 in, i broke the "green" lambda sensor, and my light came on, replaced it and it went off after a few hours.

JUst came back on though, bloody annoying how its got to be something else.

Was the same with mine mate... disconnect your battery for 5 or 10 mins and it should go out after a few drives. I take it you've sleeved the blue (second) lambda?
