Engine management light

Hi all .I had to disconnect my battery on my 2013 puma and recharge it .When I charged and started my engine management light and the the little red puff of smoke light . Worth noting these where a previous fault caused by split hose I had replaced and code cleared . Is it possible disconnecting battery has caused this again. Car now in limo home mode .

Cheers

Sounds like the DPF light?

Would that cause an engine management light and limp mode ?

if you had the red DPF Full lamp reset but it came back on

1. one DPF is full will need cleaning or replacing

2. DPF presser differential sensor has fail or pipe work to the presser differential sensor is block

I had Kwik fit check the fault code which said DPF fault .Im finding thus a bit strange as I had to Disconnect my battery to recharge as I left lights on overnight . After trying to start I charged it properly .Car started after I reconnected but this fault flagged up . Just wondering is this a coincidence

2016 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 HT Corris Grey

Have had other vehicles that throw random codes due to a low voltage situation......

My advice is take it anywhere else but Kwik fit

Clearing codes in the hope of a fix is a bad practice. Suggest you take it to a specialist who can help and diagnose your problem properly.

They are suggesting a DPF regeneration. This may be down to your driving style/short journeys.
