Engine light - Georgetown, On

Driving home in rush hour traffic on the 401, engine light turned on. Only happened to me twice before, in 2007, and 2010, and both times new engine. Hoping it isn't the same result. Wondering if anyone has a computer scanner in the area.

Neo, you alive buddy? How many times have you driven your 7 in the last few years? 2 times? lol

I've got one if you're ever near Richmond Hill, but any partsource will scan your car for free.

So I just changed my spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition coils, I used NGK spark plugs and spark plug wires and I used OEM coils after I swapped the old ones for the new ones my check engine light came on. Has anyone else had this problem or know what it might be?

Did what you suggested and went to Partsource, thank you.

Got code P2259 - secondary air injection system control "B" circuit low.

Time to reseach and see how to repair.

Sounds like you'll need a new secondary air pump.

Not too much to worry about, it's only functionally at start up for a minute or so to bring the catalytic converter up to temperature faster then it shuts off.

Don't most forced induction guys remove it?

I've seen you post this somewhere else already.

I'm pretty sure I read in the forum rules this is a no no.
Not to mention you're posting in another persons help thread which I believe is bad etiquette.

Well maybe if this website would let me make my own thread I wouldn't have to post in someone else's thread!
