Engine light fault code vr v8

[vs hay hauler]

I am about to buy a vr v8 auto, the owner has said that the engine comes on sometimes and was told by the previous owner that it was a sensor on the auto trans causing this.
not being able to check the fault codes as yet, has any one had this issue before or could it be something else or what sensor is on the auto?

the eng light comming on could 1 of many things,your not going to know untill you do a faul code check........ask the owner if you can do this test b4 you pay for the car? could be somthing simple...or could be somthing major.......i hope is only a small issue for you.cheers

yeah you have to get the code first and look up what it is before commiting to buy

if the engine light is on the cars unroadworthy so if it has a roadworthy written on it
i would just walk away now....
