Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
EML Warning LED
If the EMS2000 detects an engine safety related fault (but is not emissions related) in the EMS2000 itself, the EML warning light will illuminate in the IKE to show there is a fault with the drive by wire system. (This could be caused by a faulty throttle motor, gearbox or a sticking throttle flap.) The Warning Led is amber in color and is activated through a CAN Bus message to the IKE.

- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
