Our 17000 mile yeti showed the ECS (Emissions control system) error light yesterday, in yellow - so caution. That's stayed on permamently.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">Today, once I'd driven it for a bit, and then started it again, it showed "Error: AdBlue (DEF) start possible in 650 mi", with an AdBlue level indicator and a spanner. Never seen this one before; low adblue normally pops upas "AdBlue level low".

I topped up the Adblue (which wasn't low) and it went up to 3500miles, but then dropped to 650 again and the ECS light and spanner thing were both on.
Anyway, driving home - noticed that the warning lights had gone off. The car's running fine.
Basically, after the car had scuppered out entire day's plan and has made us go into Plan B mode for half term, it's decided it's fine as soon as we've got home.
Any ideas/experiences as to what on earth it's doing?
Duff sensor would be my bet. I suspect there's nothing wrong with it, but one of the sensor leads is loose, or the sensor itself is on the blink. Or perhaps an air leak somewhere in the emissions.
Our Alhambra did something similar - NOx sensor at £700 to replace.
Of course, the garage (Arnold Clark franchised dealer) were ****in useless and topped up the adblue (with ab out a litre, they had done it only a couple of months previously at the service), then sent us home, next reset the ECU and sent us home, then finally called Seat UK (took some arguing) who got them to read out the engine status with the proper machine which told them the sensor was knacked.
