406oc.co.uk

After just bragging about what a bargain I have just bought, I went out to the car, covered in ice as usual, (the car, not me ) started it up and what do you know, I've contracted the dreaded Anti Pollution Warning !!!

I've done a search and the concensus seems to be to just leave it and see what happens.

Now the question. On 'er indoors' Mondeo, instead of buying an OBD reader you could jump 2 pins to read the code and dissable the light. Can you do this on a 406?

Cheers

You can on the D8's ('96-99) but I'm not sure about the D9.
What year is yours Dan?

Edit: Scrub that, I've just looked through your other posts

Hi Dan,

If it's just the warning message on the mfd screen, and it doesn't happen every time you start the car, I'd ignore it (in fact I do ignore it ). If the engine management light is on too and/or you're seeing the message every time you start it then you need to be getting it checked out.

Which pins do you bridge out, or does that depend on what the fault is.

What, to reset a D8's ECU? Just unplug it...
