Injection system failure
Fitting the key into the ignition device
the warning light turns on, but it should
go off when the engine has started.
The warning light stays on or it turns on
when travelling to indicate a malfunc-
tion in the injection/exhaust system
with possible lack of performance, poor
driveability and high consumption.
In these conditions it is possible to con-
tinue driving without however requiring
heavy effort or high speed from the en-
gine. In any case, contact Alfa Romeo
Authorized Services as soon as possible.EOBD system failure
Under normal conditions, fitting the elec-
tronic key into the ignition device, the
warning light turns on, but it should go
off when the engine has started. This in-
dicates proper operation of the warn-
ing light.
If the warning light stays on or turns on
when travelling:
– glowing steadily (together with
the message on the display): means a
fault in the supply/ignition system
which could cause high emissions at the
exhaust, possible lack of performance,
poor handling and high consumption lev-
els. In these conditions it is possible to
continue driving without however re-
quiring heavy effort or high speed from
the engine. Prolonged use of the car
with the warning light on may cause
damages. Contact Alfa Romeo Autho-
rized Services as soon as possible.
The warning light goes off if the fault
disappears, but it is however stored by
the system.
