DTC color dots

Post by astouffer »

When looking at the DTCs in VIDA will the yellow dotted code trigger a check engine light or will only the red ones? My car is going to need an inspection soon and I'd hate to fail because the check engine light says my sunroof motor is faulty and the radio antenna is unplugged.

The colors do not indicate CEL or no CEL. Red is current code and yellow is not currentky detected on the current ignition cycle.

The codes in systems other than ECM are not going to flag you for a fail on an emissions test.
