Engine Warning Light

[Fullinsurance-semitrailer]

Hey guys, I'm Kevin! Got two car issues bugging me —

1. Engine Warning Light Keeps Haunting Me 😵

• My car’s engine warning light stays on permanently. Even after resetting it with an OBD scanner, it pops back up.
• Trouble Code: U1140 – "Communication Lost with Active Exhaust Valve 2" (Permanent code from $7E8).
• Weird Pattern: A buddy had the same issue when his car was new, but the light magically disappeared after driving 2,000-3,000 km (he later installed US-spec taillights and flashed a US tune – related?).
• My Situation: Already drove 9,000 km, light still won’t peace out. Any fixes to try?

2. Mirror Dimmer 😎

• Is the "Mirror Dimmer" supposed to activate anti-glare for rearview mirrors?
• At night, headlights from cars behind are blinding me like crazy – not sure if it’s because:
  • I forgot to enable this function, or
  • My car’s just too low.

Thank you everyone .

Apologies for the creepy avatar! I'll get that updated ASAP. About my Challenger - since Dodge China doesn't import this model, it's actually a European-spec vehicle. Importers modify them overseas to meet Chinese traffic regulations before bringing them into the country.

You're absolutely right! As I'm still improving my English, I've been using DeepSeek's translation tools to ensure accuracy. Appreciate you catching the odd formatting/tone - my apologies for any confusion caused.

I would say this is an excellently written post Kevin,and I probably know better than most on this site.
Cave man option would be to disconnect the battery for a minute,maybe that will reset the EML.

The total cost to get this car road-ready came to 192,622USD（1400000RMB）. Given its lack of cost-effectiveness and niche appeal, it's not a popular choice here — as we say in China, 'Those who love it can't afford it, while the affluent would rather opt for established luxury marques like Ferrari or Lamborghini at this price point.

OMG...that's insane...@ least here...these cars are well within the reach of the middle class...as a matter of fact when released in 2015..a HC could be had for a touch over 60g's...an absolute bargain for a car with this level of performance...BTW...how bout some tips for us guys how to use chop sticks...it takes me well over two hours to choke down a small order of Teng Fu Chicken with those things
