ballcock Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi Andrew welcome to the forum, I am not sure what information you're after, a more detailed post or question will get better responses. I assume you have recharged the battery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Go in the drivers seatbox: Pull all the relays and check their sockets and relay connections are clean and corrosion free. Reseat with care. Check all the connections & plugs in there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happyoldgit Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Right ok. You say you bought it two months ago but the battery has gone flat now? Do you mean the vehicle has not been used in that time? Have you had any work done on it recently, bought supermarket fuel before the problem occurred. P068A is a common, almost standard, fault code and standard indication which is supposed to indicate ECM Power Relay Load Circuit: De-Energized Performance Too Early but is often thrown when the OBDII socket is used to power a fault reader. Faults can also be: Fuse(s) faulty Ignition Switch faulty Wiring and/or Connector(s) from/to Power Supply Relay (J271/J317) faulty Power Supply Relay (J271/J317) faulty And the solutions: Check Fuse(s) Check Wiring and/or Connector(s) from/to Power Supply Relay (J271/J317) Check/Replace Power Supply Relay (J271/J317) Check the battery connections and external earth straps, there is also a plug behind the instrument cluster that can corrode and cause issues. Check all the fuses are good and contacts clean. When was the last time the fuel filter was replaced? Tried disconnecting the battery for 10-20 mins then reconnecting. Do the instrument gauges ever read strangely? You could have a harness / OBDII or ECU issue. Other potentials are the VCV valve and MAF sensor. FYI There was a Tech Service Bulletin issued about 10 years ago that covers starting issues and the potential sources much of which is outlined above.
