This morning as I was driving to work, my centre console started playing up and I lost the the settings button. In addition, CarPlay disconnected and the car though my phone was still connected despite putting my phone on airplane mode……
At pretty much the same time the EML came on (no loss of power accompanied the light and the car drove normally). Switching the car off and locking it didn’t sort the centre console issue or the engine light.
Got to work, left the car for an hour and the centre console issue had resolved itself but the EML remained.
Connected my OBD reader and saw the error code was P0627. Now it’s not unusual for any Lotus have a wobbly and throw a code for seemingly no reason, so I decided to clear it and see if it came back.
40 miles later and it’s not reappeared.
Now my question is, if you clear a code would it come straight back on if the issue was still present i.e. my issue was just a short term gremlin, or could the issue still be there?
