Toxic warning light, can it cause damage?

[RenaultSport]

My dads Trophy's Toxic warning light has come on (due to the decat ).
As it's on can it be causing any damage? Does the ECU adjust anything to compensate for the fault it's receiving?

Or is it simply saying somethings wrong eg no cat.

i really want to no the answer to this question to as i have ordered and am waiting to recive my de-cat, if i get the k-tec ecu re-map will it cancel out the fault? will it cause damage if left on?

Unless you go into limp mode then no, it's just a warning to say the exhaust as not as clean as it should be

Nope no damage just telling you the cats not working and your poluting the environment.
At the moment noone has a fix for the 182 problems on the 172's you just unplug the second sensor the 182 maps are different and that doesn't work but since its just a light don't bother.

You'll die a horrible death, or probably not

Sensitive little buggers those sensors

I had a lambda problem on my 172 and it sent my car into Limp mode, I disconnected the lambda but once in limp it needed a kick at the ecu, as it turned out I needed a new Lambda sensor. Thankfully the car was still under warrenty.
If it is in limp mode don't drive and then if you have to keep the revs low, thast what I was told any hoo, to get it to the garage.

Am i right in thinking in limp mode it won't rev beyond a certain point?
