Mechanical trouble and common faults

There are a wide variety of engine management faults, which could trigger the warning light to display, we summarise some of these below:

The DPF (diesel particulate filter) is a particularly sensitive “beast” of a component and is prone to blockage, particularly with inner-city, stop-start driving. If the DPF becomes blocked expect the engine management warning light to show and depending on the make/model of van expect driving to change to “limp home mode” if there are problems with the amount of emissions (noxious gases) being output the engine management light will display. This may just be a faulty sensor, which needs replacing or it could be that work is needed to optimise the van for emissions

At the time of ignition the engine management light can be triggered if there is deemed to be an ignition fault. This could be a range of issues such as coil or glow plug (in diesels) failure, etc.

if the fuel filler cap is loose, this can trigger the engine management warning light as the cap needs to be secure for safe usage of the van. Issues with airflow can trigger the engine management light, this is most likely to be an issue with the air filter, which most likely is blocked and needs replacement.

Selling a van with Engine Management faults

Imagine trying to sell a van to a buyer and when you do the road test the engine management warning light displays! That renders the van virtually unsaleable until you have resolved the issue. Given that the light could be displayed for many reasons, there will be diagnostics to pay for and an unknown bill ahead.
