I have both of them in my carOzark Lee wrote:The indicator is called a "Lambda" light which is the same as the Check Engine light that we have here in the US. Fixing the ABS module generally won't impact the lambda light. In order find out which systems your car is not happy with you need to have the codes read from the OBD-II port.

How is that possible to have both of them...check engine light & lambda light?marginal wrote:I have both of them in my car...
Or....you wanted to say that you have check engine light and abs/tracs light on?
Which is it?

I don't understand....
Lambda light is actually check engine light for every country in the world except u.s.a.
-Check engine light or MIL(malfunction indicator light) for u.s market.
-Lambda light for all countries except u.s.a.
Meaning...check engine light & lambda light are the same lights,with the same purpose,for different markets.
Why would you have both lights that meaning the same?
In order to solve this dilemma...can you please post pictures of those lights from your instrument cluster?
I'm very curious to see that.

Sorry.
I made a mistake.
It is not "Check engine" it is something different, but I forgot, now it is soooo gold here I can not go out and check it again.
I'll come back to tell you, it is something like "service-engine" ...
There is a dash "-" in the middle.
It is right bottom light ...
I'll write it down and post it here.

Well, I just read a lot about it and it seemss just an OBDII scanner (that I have and have tried without success) is not enough.

But istead of spending money on it, I think I'll just take off the bulb
