My check engine light lit up and started blinking during some aggressive driving. It went away after about 30 seconds. If this happens again, I ll hook the laptop up and record the EDC. Btw, there is no way to read out a code if its currently not ON, correct?

Anyway, just wanted to find out what people though the issue might be.

 

Lose sensor?

 

i had the same problem, only that it would only blink when i would be driving it aggressively and as soon as i would drive normally it would go away. i think it use to blink like 5 times. its happened to me like 2 times but i figured it was nothing cuz it never came back.

LOL, maybe its a NBP thing

 

Same thing happend to me.... Blinked untill I drove normal and less like Cole Trickle!

NBP also... CLS6

 

This is normal!!

It happens sometimes because the car looses traction, & the ECU think it's misfiring & throws a code for a sec. I can do it at will on any CL/TL. Nothing of a concern.

 

Agree with Fuzzy02CLS...I am always running around with my CEL light on (misfires in 1-6) after playing around.

 

DAMN....Tim need to stop getting on my computer......My post above.

 

the blinking is a missfire. If the light doesnt stay on there wont be any code to read. Its kinda normal on these cars. I see it most when i loose traction and get wheel hop

 

2x

 

I've gotten it before after I dropped the clutch with to much RPM's... excessive wheelhop seems to throw a misfire code...

 

Yep....

 

It happened to me a few times in the rain.

If you connect a reader, it might still have the code. It did for me when I tried reading it right after it threw it and I got home.

 

Thanks guys.

It used to never happen until I got the NGR engine dampers. Its somewhat tougher to peel out, the car jerks a lot more when it looses grip since the engine cant twist.

 

same thing happened to me, driving hard in the rain, reved a bit high and wheel hop, a few blinks then it never came back. Think thats an isolated incident or soemthing.
