Hi all, I'm looking for some pointers (other than to the dealer!) as to the likely cause of my car's problem
I hit a pothole in the road yesterday; immediately, the ASC lamp came on, and stayed on. No amount of flicking the switch would turn the system back on again.
Performance was not affected, but there was quite a bit of yo-yoing when lifting off of the accelerator.
Shortly after, the Engine warning lamp came on: the manual states this relates to a deterioration of exhaust emissions.
I used the car later on; this time the ASC light had gone out, BUT, both lamps remained lit today!
So my questions are...
- Why should the ASC be affected after hitting a hole/bump in the road?
- Why should the ASC affect the engine emissions?
- Do I really need to head for a dealer?
Any help or suggestions would be welcome.
