EGR light ... turn it OFF!

[cardineau]

How do I turn off the EGR warning light in the dash of my 1985 Brat ? I've checked and replaced the EGR valve, but don't know how to cancel the warning light.

 

Thanks

I found this while doing some clean-up on my 'puter. Been looking all over the place for it.

Pull your fuse box cover and the kick panel under the steering column.. There should be a blue female and a blue male and green male wire (or vice versa male/female and colors) Anyways, disconnect what ever one is plugged in. and replace with the other color. if green is plugged in, plug the blue one in.. etc....

That will reset the light. They come on between 50 and 60,000

100 and 120,000 and 170 to 180,000 miles

to check your egr, push on inside of the diaphram of the egr valve.. if it makes your car sputter like its going to die, and then it springs back out and the ran runs fine, the egr is fine..

If you can't find the plugs (I couldn't), then you can also pull the dash and unplug the light from there. That's what I did with mine.
