Title: fault code 17586 help needed
Post by: birch on 26 August 2012, 12:21

i have a fault code reader and my engine management light has come on and i read code 17586, i cleared the code and light came on again 17598, if i clear the code i get either one of the two codes coming back, neither of these codes appear in my code list that came with the scanner, seem to be something to do with 'linear 02 sensor' any advice would be really appreciated, thanks.

i already looked in the rosstech list and not on there and its not on the list of dtc's that came with my scanner either, seems to be very little information about this code!
