I have a problem when driving around the "STOP" light keeps coming on intermittently?
No other dash lights on, all oils coolants etc ok
Can anyone advise
-
have it scanned for codes.
check the coolant sensor, make sure its in tacked and not caked in crap.
had the same issue a few months back and the coolant sensor was the cause, along with the stat.
does your temp gague get to 90 and sit there or is it over/under 90?
-
No temp is fine, had the water pump changed about 2 months ago. I plugged my code reader in but it found no faults.
Will check to coolant sensor
-
Clean the two metal prongs in the coolant bottle and check the sensor bud :smiley:
-
thanks guy's

Right guy's think I've found the problem, took the big plastic cover off the engine to take a look at the coolant sensor and found my cylinder head breather hose completely split open :cry:

I wouldn't think that would put stop light on tho. As I just replaced mine and my stop light wasn't on

Still having the same problem, I changed the thermostat sensor and replace the split cylinder head vacuum hoses but still its telling me to STOP intermittently
-
How's the power delivery? Does it feel like it's getting bogged down at higher rpm?
-
the only time I've seen the "STOP" is when we had a headgasket leak and it was drinking the coolant. It would come on when the level in the header tank dropped too low.

Power and running is all fine. Just had a service yesterday so all fluids and filters have been changed.

Power and running is all fine (no loss of any coolant). Just had a service yesterday so all fluids and filters have been changed.

Also had a code reader check but no faults found ether
-
usually the display will tell you whats wrong after the stop sign appears ie brake fluid, coolant etc, i assume that aint the case.
possible wiring/sensor fault perhaps
-
That will cause a stop light as as it will cause a drop in oil pressure

Nope just STOP. no check coolant or anything like that. That's what's making me think it's electrical fault maybe to the sensor
-
An engine drinking coolent could be an indication of head gasket?
-
i had this recently after getting brake caliper changed,random stop warnings with no more info,then i had other caliper changed by a different garage and they screwed up the job and basically all my brake fluid pissed out eventually throwing up a "stop" followed by "brake fluid" but according to garage that fixed it properly if i'd have used the brakes a few more times before i rolled slowly up to the garage my braking would have involved a wall or something equally as nasty

FINALLY sorted with this fault, had VASS TECH in Rugby take a look and traced the fault to the sensor in the coolant bottle.
