toxic fumes warning light?

[rob6775]

Hi all,only had my 03 clio 172 a month and now i have the toxic fume warnig light on.It came on when excelerating on to the motorwayi had no loss of power and the car runs fine no miss fire or stalling,i drove on motorway for at leaste 100 miles with no issues .i looked on here and all explinations said faulty igition coil but as it runs fine what else could it be? And is it still ok to use?

could be a faulty lambda sensor. Mine came on when i hadnt used the car for a month and upon start up it was very fumey. Just got a fault code reader and cleared it. Hasnt come back since

Try this...and erase the code. See if comes back. Also can you hear an exhaust blow from the catalyst area?

 

[rob6775]

No cant hear the exhaust blowing,from what i can tell its all running as it should?Will try clearing fault like u said cheers for the advise.

All sorted,it was an inbalance between the 2 sensors either side of the cat,cleared fault light now ok.

Check the black rubber tube that connects to the intake pipe on the bend just before the thottle body. Mine came off and I was getting this light. Reattaching this pipe fixed it. It just pushes back on. I think its called a breather tube or something.

The tube might of fallen behind the engine if it has come off but its easy to get to.

Scrap that just read you sorted it.
