Thought that was probably the case, keep losing radio settings when I do that, but hey ho, gut feeling says it's because the primary cats have been gutted, did they move the 2nd lambda probe to after the secondary cat? Very much doubt it, will have to get it on the ramps to have a look.To clear most CEL, the battery can be isolated via the black rotary know in the rear battery compartment. To isolate the battery rotate the knob clockwise, the the fault should clear after 5 minutes.
Does a basic code reader read any stored code but not necessarily show the error definition?The socket is uder the dash by the drivers door .Yes you can use a code reader . It will show basic codes , Anything more compliated then you need it plug it into a proper Maserati tablet .

Just clear it with your generic reader, if that's all it is shouldn't go into limp mode.Well despite now having the lambda's in the right place, and new 200 cel sports cats, thought problem was solved, but no, after a couple of hundred miles today on came the cel light again today, What next?
Doesn't go into limp mode, just the bl**dy light comes on every time i drive it, but not for a hundred or so miles, going to start carrying the code reader in the car! Wonder if this will be covered by the 6 month warranty that came with the car?Just clear it with your generic reader, if that's all it is shouldn't go into limp mode.
Ooh er missus!I imagine the secondary cats do enough to pass the emissions test and as long as there isn’t a CEL on they would pass it.
The pre and post lambdas should work by measuring the before and after oxygen content and determine that the primary cats are working properly. This is probably the source of your warm up codes, as there is no difference between the primary and secondary cats.
Your post has reminded me of our discussion the other day - i’ll PM you about the flanges.
