Talk Morgan Forums Morgan Sports Cars Morgan Three Wheeler & Super 3 Ugh...check engine light is on

My ECU is locked, but you can flash it with an approved “box” file which contains all the tuning info and the appropriate equipment related details.

I bought the aftermarket cooling fan from Morgan and the file was provided as I did the install. So it is a locked file that is able to be uploaded.

The file itself cannot be changed using Protune, sadly

Hello all. I have found a quick fix for the intermittent engine light issue. Mine came on just after buying my M3W. Worried me until I remembered my Ducati days and listened to the engine. No oil light. Have oil pressure. Engine sweet ? Yes. So don't worry. Later came to this site at a service station. Read every thing. Not satisfied so had a good hard think. Was sure that the ECU was getting confused and not adapting. Why ? probably an odd electrical input. Loose HT cap ? No. Checked aluminum nipples on plug tops. Both slightly loose. No pliers. Borrowed some. Started engine. NO LIGHT hooray. 30KM later light on again. Stop. Left plug nipple moving again. Tightened up and all good. When ever the light came on again I always found some slack . The problem is that the steel thread and Ally nipple expand and contract at different rates. This is perfect for unscrewing things. When home a brutal tightening has eradicated the issue. The tiny sparks jumping when the nipples can move, even a tiny bit puts a back emf into the ECU and it cannot adapt to the changes and puts the light on. You can have a situation where on a cold day or short run all is well. A long run may loosen the nipples and then a cool off overnight can tighten them. Try this FIRST before paying a dealer. They probably won't find this fault because the nipples tighten overnight.
