Dnk Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Search for "fault codes" there should be a lot of info on how to check your car for any stored faults Edited October 3, 2014 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk4Gaz Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) You only need a paper clip to check for stored ecu error codes. You bridge pins e1 and te1 in the diagnostic port, and count the eml flashes with the ignition switched on. This number relates to a code, that can be looked up on Google. For instance, 5 flash, pause, 2 flash, would indicate error 52 - which is knock sensor Edited October 3, 2014 by Mk4Gaz (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raven Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Small bit of wire will do no need to buy anything. Read the fault code then fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 "Rather than requiring a bug diagnostics machine, you can use a simple paperclip, or a short loop of wire. You use this to bridge the connections E1 and TE1 in the diagnostics port" "This makes the ECU flash the orange check engine light (not the red MIL light) when the ignition is switched to position 2. If it's a regular flash then there are no stored codes. Otherwise it will blink a few times, pause, blink a few times, and then give a longer pause." So 1) open up the diagnostics port in the engine bay - see picture 2) bridge the E1 and TE1 ports inside with some metal wire - make a "U" shaped wire and push each end down into the holes. 3) sit in the car and turn the key to position two 4) tell us the flashes the orange engine symbol makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supragal Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Click on 'error code' above in your post and it will take you to the information. Speed Sensor signal circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icio471 Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 probably i' ve found the error in another site. should be DCT. no 42 speed sensor signal circuit for M/T) i think Manual transmission and it's like mine. then is written: " all conditions are detected continuosly for 8 sec or more, infact continue to repet it 4 flash small pause 2, long pause 4 flash small pause 2 etc..., then, a)no.1 speed signal 0 mph/kmh b) engine speed between 1500 to 4000 rpm rpm or more c) coolant temp 80 grades or more d) load driving WHAT MEANS??

Scooter Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 What i have to do? it's serious problem or what is it? It's not usually serious, often linked to your speedo wiring.

icio471 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 hi guys, problem isn't solved. after the union of the pink wire with blu/red, i didn't remove the battery ... i have to do it?because the problem continue to remain again... i think that maybe when the car arrived in uk the old owner converted the odo in mph but when the car was bought from the last italian owner before me , he probably tried to convert again in km, and this is the result... someone could give me the original configuration of the wirings?? because now i have probably a mix of the job conversion. i've seen that there is also a micro box connected that probably was used to convert in miles the odo..... if someone understand like to resolve it , tomorrow i could attach a picture to show you like is the configuration now. Thanks for all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
