The fault light means that something is not right if it stays on past the initial test cycle upon startup. Check the fault code by following some intructions I grabbed from Rennlist for reading the code without the Bosch Hammer (thanks 95C4VanIsle - Bret)

"I learned here that in the MY95s, you can check the CEL codes without an OBD reader. If you turn the ignition on and hold the gas pedal to the floor for three seconds (and don't turn the car on) and wait for the CEL to flash and then take your foot off the gas you can read out the fault codes. The CEL will flash out fault codes almost like morse code. If there are no faults the CEL will flash once then pause and then flash 5 more times.

You should have a single flash then a pause, then a single or a double flash. If the flash is double then the fault is intermittent (loose contact) otherwise the fault is constant. And then the following flashes;

11 Supply voltage
14 Engine temp sensor 2
15 Throttle potentiometer
18 Rpm signal
19 Speed signal <- Speedometer
21 Hot Film Mass Air flow sensor
22 Oxygen Sensor (Signal)
23 Oxygen regulation
24 Oxygen sensor
25 Intake Temperature Sensor
26 Ignition timing change
27 Opening winding of idle stabilizer
28 Closing winding of idle stabilizer
31 Knock sensor 1
32 Knock sensor 2
33 Control unit faulty
34 Hall signal
36 Idle CO potentiometer
41 Control unit faulty
42 Fuel pump relay (DME-relay)
43 Tank ventilation relay
44 Air Pump
45 Check Engine warning lamp
51 Injection valve cylinder 1
52 Injection valve cylinder 6
53 Injection valve cylinder 2
54 Injection valve cylinder 4
55 Injection valve cylinder 3
56 Injection valve cylinder 5
67 Ground and plug connections
69 Ground and plug connections
