again im sorry to say it
without a proper dtc read by vida/dice , needle/haystake and hope is where you are

i know it isnt cheap, but it is needed if you are going to do repairs on the car.

i found mine paid for itself on the 1st use, i had a suitable laptop and only needed to buy the dice unit, it May take you 3-4 reads to pay for it if you have to buy a laptop/tablet and the dice unit (see link above for where/how/cost)
with a main dealer asking £80+ for a read/printout it really doesnt take long and makes a lot of sense to get one yourself IF you are doing the repairs
diagnose £80+ , you go away fix it, go back to have it checked and the warnings /errors cleared and lights put out £80+ ..

you DID clean the connector ends still in the car when you did the cem dry/clean ?
