Starting problems and Check Engine light

[mikeee]

Hi

V6 manual 2023 - regular Amber check engine light coming on - sometimes I can clear it, but not even sure how I’m doing it - hold the start button for 10 secs, unlock, lock car a couple of times. Eventually I can normally get it to clear.
No other symptoms. Any ideas?
Safe to drive while awaiting Lotus diagnostics?

Also sometime just won’t start - again, try the above and normally it will eventually clear itself…..

The "just wont start" issue is/was a known one, that Lotus had provided a Software update for. If you are unsure if your car has all the updates, contact a dealer and they should be able to tell you

I spoke to Lotus, I only had updates done about a month ago so they’re all up to date.
But frequently it just won’t start. Till a lock, unlock, hold the start button down etc, eventually it sorts itself.
And now a frequently occurring CE light comes on.

Is there a proper way to reset warning lights/ECU?

Check the battery connections to make sure the terminals are clean (not oxidized) and clamped tight. Inconsistent battery performance can be a possible cause.
