Hi Filip, I replaced the ECU in March this year under the the post OBD socket, no power. By P38 Paul, March 8 . Surely it cant be that again could it?
-
There are a few faults logged on the Nanocom which I presume are from the none triggering compressor, they all come up as "invalid fault code".
-
Yes, I have the cable that connects to the Nanocom.
-
Hi Fridge, the compressor is intermittent, when it doesn't run there is no voltage across the relay coil terminals, when it decides to run I have got 14v across the coil, its got to be whatever triggers the relay that is at fault but what am I looking for or where am I supposed to be looking? PS, The black/purple wire from the compressor is grounded all of the time.
-
I have just tried two more compressors & none of them are working until the relay is bridged, one of the compressors was removed from my car working two years ago just needing a new piston ring so I think that rules out a compressors being at fault.
-
Hi Fridge, you are talking to a complete idiot here, the only thing I can say at the moment is that I have tried multiple relays so I think I can rule the relay out.
-
A quick update, I bridged the compressor last night & when it started lifting I swapped the bridge wire for the relay & it kept running to full pressure then cut out as it should, went to the car this morning & its not working again.
-
Hi all, I have a EAS compressor that doesn't run unless I bridge the relay terminals, where do I start looking for the fault to get it working as it should?
-
Hi Snagger, I have a decent set of ramps & chocks so I recon I'm going to have a go at this job myself.
-
Hi Geoff, I was hoping that I can get the viscous off without having to take the transfer box out, I had a look underneath yesterday and recon with the front prop out of the way I should be able to undo the viscous casing and swap it over.
-
Thankyou for your input geoffbeaumont for your valuable input.
-
Thanks Bowie69, you're a star.
-
Is this a difficult job to do on the floor with no ramp?
-
Hi Bowie69, thats great info thankyou, do you think that the car is still ok to drive everyday without doing the repair or will it cause more damage in the long run?
-
Hi everyone, I have a new problem with the car juddering at low speed, it happens when I am close to full lock in both forward & reverse at low speed (5mph). in most cases it try's to do small wheel spins as if the diffs are not working & the diffs locked, it still drives fine in a straight line (normal driving). Does anybody what's going on with it or experienced anything like this before?
-
Ok I've got that now, Cheers Filip.
-
Thanks for that Filip, I could only find the flat gaskets when I looked & still cant find the ones that you found, must get some new glasses 👓
-
Can anybody give me the part number/numbers of the 6 'o'rings that fit into the plastic inlet manifold of m/y 2000 diesel please .
-
Hi peeps, I received the replacement ECU today, fitted it to the system & up she rose from the floor thank god, so I think that means that the old ECU is toast, Nanocom recorded no faults which I think is a bit odd but never mind as it seems to have worked or is working ok at the moment. Hi Filip, no, I do not have the EAS information document, what is this please?
-
Hi herbie, the compressor is working but only when remove the relay & bridge the relay socket wiring to run the pump, but no air is going into the system which I think is something to do with the exhaust valve showing as stuck open, I will continue the battle of the P38 tomorrow, watch this space.
-
Hi Filip, I spent an hour yesterday clearing the faults but they all kept on bouncing back, the car is on the bump stops so I bit the bullet & ordered a ECU yesterday to be delivered tomorrow but thanks for the offer anyway, I will update the post again when I fit the replacement ECU.
-
Update, I went back down into the infamous connector block to do a thorough clean & whilst pulling it about, out popped a brown wire, so with that fixed I now have communication back with the Nanocom, I had some confusing results with the Nanocom so I got someone with a Snap-on diagnostic thingy & this is the list :- Code Type | F801 | FL Signal Incorrect F804 | FR Signal Incorrect F810 | RL Signal Incorrect F840 | RR Signal Incorrect F910 | Air Supply Fault F920 | Air Supply Leak F940 | Target Heights Incorrect FA01 | Cannot Lower Front Left FA02 | Cannot Lower Front Right FA04 | Cannot Lower Rear Left FA08 | Cannot Lower Rear Right FB01 | FL Valve Stuck Open FB02 | FR Valve Stuck Open FB04 | RL Valve Stuck Open FB08 | RR Valve Stuck Open FB10 | Inlet Valve Stuck Open FB20 | Exhaust Valve Stuck Open FC01 | FL Valve Stuck Closed FC02 | FR Valve Stuck Closed FC04 | RL Valve Stuck Closed FC08 | RR Valve Stuck Closed FC20 | Exhaust Valve Stuck Closed. Think I've got a ECU fault dont you 😬
-
Hi Filip, just cleaned all the connectors that you advised me to do then checked the 5A fuse again which had blown, replaced the fuse then used a kicker lite & that shows 6 red flashes, I then used the Nanocom & when I go onto faults it says "cannot communicate with ECU" then I press "clear faults" & it blows the 5A fuse on the car, any ideas?
-
Hi folks I have a problem with the OBD socket in the car & it seems to have no power going to it, I have checked fuse number 33 that powers the diagnostics & that seems ok. I had a EAS fault occur so I plugged my kicker in & it lit up as normal, I plugged my Nanocom & that was working but I have retried plugging them in again & they wont power up, any ideas?
