hi, got isssues! it started two weeks ago, i thought it was loss of power and rubbing/whining noise. took car in, was told perished seal on one of the vacuum pipes. this was 'fixed' with an o ring. today, however, more probs. at higher revs engine service/fault light comes on and i seem to be stuck in a high gear. also whining/rubbing noise has returned. after parking, turning off and on again the problem goes, but returns as soon as i rev anything past 3500-4000. i've done the pedal trick and it has come up with code 0500-speed sensor b-009 and service reminder 1700 (not surprised by this!) any help and advice wouild be more than welcome!!!
The pipe that was 're-sealed' was on the front of the engine block, underneath the black cover.

Suspect we need the codes from the gearbox as well...

Also, how did you get code b-009 from pedal trick?  Don't reconise that engine code

[Phil H.]

The pedal trick showed codes 0500 and 1700. I got them trasnlated to the speed sensor B-009 and service reminder from an oof posting which detailed all codes and their meanings. How would I get the gearbox codes?

Ah, I see.  B-009 is the testing/rectification procedure


Right, you need gearbox codes IMHO - The 0500 is a signal generated (on autos) by TCM (gearbox ECU).  The 1700 (SVS from TCM) just means the gearbox has detected a problem, and has told the engine ECU about it (and probably requested less torque to be produced from engine)

[Phil H.]

Thanks for that, can I assume that whatever is causing the noise (possible fault on pipe as before?) is being detected and thus the fault codes being generated as an alert or as a failsafe protection ? Any help with finding the gearbox codes ?

[TheBoy]

I would be looking at checking ATF level, and seeing if there is a gearbox code relating to the ratios being not what is expected

[Phil H.]

Is checking the ATF level easy ? never done it, and too much physical work at the moment tricky - got a bad hernia!

1700 was the code that concerned me (well... As far as the vendor was concerned ) on Thursday. Also had 0120 and 0220 but the battery had been flat Plan to clear them all down and then see what happens

Oh... And ATF and Filter change are on the list of jobs to be done

Not too bad, depending on how you're feeling - involves jacking the car onto an axle stand and undoing a plug under the car.  Unless you have access to a pit, in which case it's a doddle.

Thanks for that, where do I look to find where to top up (am I being thick??!!)

Thanks a lot for advice on that. Still need to find source of noise, I gotta go out this afternoon, I'll try to identify it later.

[Phil H.]

Just got back from short run, enough to get up to temperature though, no noise nor warning light and went through the gears ok but a little notchy(probably only appears when driven harder). it felt a bit sluggish though.

[Phil H.]

Just got back from taking kids to school, the noise has returned. not from where I thought, its from much deeper, underneath the engine almost and a definite whirring sound when acceletator pedal is pushed (got missus to press it while i had bonnet open). and nasty acrid smell now present. Any ideas ?

I had these two codes on when my selector switch played up
