Performance chips

Hi
I’ve just fitted performance ignition and fuel chips
The lambda light is now on , is that normal ??
Can it be turned off ?
My car doesn’t have a code reader

Cheers

Jamie

Did you disconnect the battery for a few minutes? Double check none of the pins have missed their ports.

Yes to both

It's not normal for the lambda light to come on. You're going to need to buy/borrow/make/steal a code reader.

Have you made any other changes at the same time? Perhaps massive injectors which are making it run rich?

Just the chips was changed ,

is everything stock? have you changed anything to warrant chips? Stage zero tune before anything.

Were the files used for the chips the same as the ecu and ezk you have? I have seen several files being used for the ezk that when put into a gold box result in an illuminated lambda light and every time it's egr related.

Easy to check if it's the chips just put your original ones back in and see if it's still lit.

What ECU number? What EZK number? What chips have you installed?
