Hi,

Got this from allexpert.com

okay the eml has something to do with the engine electronics and states in the owner's manual that there is a fault in the electronic engine-management system. today the whole power system completely shut off, losing power for a split second and then it catches up again. All the dash lights came on just as if starting the car up.

Hope this helps. Pls visit your trusted workshop to check.

Cheers

According to your owner manual this is the problem.. get it check as advise by mouse.

Notice that you also have the Auto Transmission light "ON". That explain why your car lose power.
It is on LIMB mode.

thanks jarance bro,
but do i still need to go work shop to check?
cause normally after i restart my car all lights turn off..
 
The light is indicated because there are some problem with the gearbox.

You can reset it when you off the engine for a few seconds and restart the car.

Basically, you can choose to ignore this alarm. but when you are stuck in the middle of no where, you will be wandering why you never send you car for a good check up.

Your gearbox is about to go. get it checked ASAP. Any delay will most probably lead to MORE damage to your auto tranny.

it either a few hundred early repair as compared to a GB overhaul which cost a few thousands.
