Default MIL is on. Is it related to Jumping a battery

2001 A6

MIL lamp is on. I jumped another car battery earlier today. Did I do any damage or drain battery.


Will MIL go off?

What should I expect?

Thanks !!!

If you followed the usual precautions with jumping the cars, then no, I really doubt you did any damage.

When you jumped the other car, did you have your car running?

Default engine was running..."old school"

The MIL went off last evening.

The engine was running when I attached the cables. As far as precautions go, it was "old school"...cables to both terminals, my car first. Engine idle down a little, other car started in short time, then disconnected cables.

Any more thoughts?

Thanks red!!!

No code, no worries... Take a shot and forget about it unless it comes back.
