Cut Out. 06 Yaris Diesel

Hi any ideas my yaris cut out engine management light on. Restarted OK drove OK management light still on.

Usually the light won't go out on its own until it's been reset.

Best take it to a garage so they can a) reset the light and, more importantly, b) Tell you what the cause of the light is!

Eeek!

I hope they change the fuel filter too then!

A tip:One cause of gunge in the fuel tank is due to half-filling: Don't half-fill a car that runs on diesel; Always fill the tank when you refuel.

Half-filled tanks have moist air in them which condenses on the tank walls and forms a layer of water on the surface of the diesel which stuff can grow in and feed off the diesel.

It doesn't affect petrol so much because petrol is much more corrosive and toxic to micro-organisms, but diesel is like cooking oil so it's more prone to certain types of microbe

[Tom1954]

Yes and they are giving me £20 off fuel.
