Hi all,
Yesterday I found out what was causing my 'code 42' - Turned out the solder on one of the surface mount resistors had cracked completely on my odometer (as seen in pics below)
I took off the resistor (242 - 2.4kΩ) - then lost it - So used the closest I could find which was 2.5Ω. Soldered it on and no more 'code 42' and my power steering wasn't light all the time.
Since doing this my car had stalled 3 times, randomly, and the slip control has started flashing but no 'code 42' etc....
I know the resistor values aren't the same but being so close wouldn't of thought it would cause this problem, especially with it not throwing any codes.???
Any idea's???
My car is a j-spec auto TT, Mines ecu - so no SLD.
