Omega General Help / 3.2 elite codes and limp mode
« on: 28 March 2014, 18:51:47 »
Right, i am starting a new thread as this was starting to get a bit messy,
As some might remember my dads 3.2 has been giving all kinds of greif, going in and out of limp mode at all different times, and conditions.
It all started with
P0420 BANK 1 CAT BELOW THRESHOLD
and was cleared with his hand held scanner.
Then he begain getting the car and spanner light with codes
P01700 SERVICE VECHILE SOON REQUEST FROM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE.
INTERMITT P100 MAF
Now after taking it to vx in chichester he has a print out detailing the following codes
P0748 NOT PRESENT??
P730 PRESSURE REGULATOR SOLONOID OPEN CIRCUIT
P0748 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLONOID A CIRCUIT ELECTRICAL??? (I thought it was not present)
They are unable determin what the fault might be and releived his wallet of £300 notes
6 months ago he had a problem with his g/box selector switch after driving through a flood water, but it dried its self out and seemed to be ok but i think some of the tranny issues COULD be connected to a dodgy selector switch.
I have had a conversation with Kevin Wood but that was previous to the vx investigation. He agreed that some might also be connected to MAF throwing the fuel trims out but needs live data to determin this.
My dad took the car last week to his local garage and they told him the P1700 CODE WAS FUEL TRIM BANK 1 MALFUNCTION AND CHANGED THE LAMBDA SENSOR ON THE WRONG BANK (2)
So there is a poss that the lambda sensor on bank 1 is still the issue but i doubt it very much
As i am piggy in the middle with this and my dads still not seeing that he needs to get the car looked at by people who know what they are doing and seeing with tech 2 cos Vauxhall Chichester dont seem to or his local spanner monkey
Thoughts pls
Gary
