Has the engine light ever come on and stayed on.
Has the engine light ever come on and stayed on.
Ok there could be a few faults with the engine management system that will cause the failsafe warning. The usual cause is either a problem with the throttle or pedal assembly. There should be fault codes stored so I am not sure why the mechanic could not read codes. We may have to scan the vehicle when the warning comes on.
