    Hello all,

    Was enjoying my GTO after purchase, and it starts...

    "Engine system check failure light" is on and started 30 minutes after installing the satellite tracker. I am not sure if it is connected (it happened after...) but they forgot to plug the gas tank connector and the booth connector and of course gas tank and booth not opening :-(

    Those connectors are now connected and working but i still have this "Engine system check failure" on - do you have some ideas ? Is it connected, or it shows something else and what are your recommendations ?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Possibilities:
    1) There's something ELSE that's still disconnected. Find it.
    2) The faults that were triggered may require a few ignition cycles to clear. Wait and see if it goes away.
    3) It's pure coincidence and something completely unrelated has triggered the light! Plug in and find out what's going on.

    The classic first solution for a check engine light is to disconnect the battery and see if the fault comes back!

    Thanks for your answer ! Is it safe to drive with this "engine system check failure" light on ? I need to go to Ferrari this week and given them the car for checking, no SD3 or anything else available.
