Time has come to part with it. I've set my sights on a v8.


£1700 takes it.

Hi all,

the auto transmission was removed by the previous owner of my car and put into a manual one. TC doesn't work , my questions are : was there any electric connection between the transmission and ABS/TC block needed to proper operation? Can I use TC with manual gearbox?

cheers  Laszlo

Make your own bloody topic! 


plugged mine in to find the abs fault but it doesn't store anything, am i right in thinking its the old hall sensor type?

No need for that mate. He`s a relatively new member and not in the UK.
Thank god the majority of us haven`t got the same attitude

Was actually a joke....... Guess not everyone is as light hearted.......

Its now becoming clearer. After some blind prick pulled out on me this morning and i had to bury my foot into the carpet the abs light came on and stayed on....

Time for a plug in.

tc light -

light should be OFF by default
going to ON when you press the TC button to disable the system

I take it you mean it wont illuminate whatever you do?

Guess you need to get it on a decent code reader that will talk to the ABS ECU to see whats up.

I reckon if it was faulty, the light should be on, so my 1st instinct is the switch may be faulty.

Tried a bulb I knew worked for certain, its supposed to illuminate when off irrc. didnt do anything at all. looked at the switch wiring seems fine and pressed it etc.

Abs light comes on ans goes off, alls well

Any ideas?

I suspect they are permentlyy on and someone has therefore removed the bulb.

I would get the car on a good code reader and work out why and fix the problem

ABS lights not working is an MOT failure 

So is having no cats, But that's never been a problem
iirc its only a fail if it illuminates and doesn't go out.
I'll try some bulbs anyway when i work out how to removed the clocks.

Since I got the car these have never worked. It doesn't really bother me as I like to drive without aids. However I do like things to work if they should..

I've checked the fuse for it and that's fine. however the dash bulbs don't illuminate and pressing the TC switch does nothing. Am I right in assuming the bulbs form part of the circuit and Perhaps try replacing/inserting these first?

I think even on the 2l the clocks are electronic etc.

Could be a faulty cts (coolant temp sensor)
Check the wiring to it or replace they're only cheap

Where do i find the CTS and related wiring??? :-?

Is yours the x20xev engine?

It should be (having to think as its mounted different to my calibra i had)

On the opposite end to the cambelt.
You will have the ecu one which has a 2 pin blue plug. then the one for the gauge which will be a single terminal.
