Anti pollution warning

2016 Vauxhall Vivaro 1.6 Biturbo
Car: Vauxhall Vivaro
Year: 2016
Variant: 1.6 Biturbo
Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights
Just collected the Vivaro from the garage today after the warning light came on a few days and the garage replaced the battery but now it’s on again after about 350 miles of motorway driving. Can it still be driven or will damage be caused ?

Are you saying they replaced the battery to fix the anti pollution fault ?

Yes. They said that that was the problem.

Can the van be driven with the warning light on so that I can bring it to a garage tomorrow ?

I have never heard of the battery causing that fault and would be very interested in how it causes it . Can only think disconnecting the battery cleared the warning which then returned as it still had the fault . I cant really tell you it's o.k to drive as I dont know what is triggering the message and needs scanning to find that out . Seems you have already driven with the light on previously ? Your choice

Understood. Thanks for your messages. Much appreciated. I’ve found an explanation of the dashboard warning lights and it says that, as long as it isn’t flashing, that it isn’t critical. It specifically includes emissions. Thanks again.

Sorry I could not say you would be o.k driving it as it could POSSIBLY get me in trouble if something went wrong by doing so . Hope it's something relatively minor and an easy fix
