Omega General Help / Key Fob - Internal images anywhere ?
« on: 09 October 2012, 15:09:35 »
Have had problems with my recently repaired fob and now find that I have to take it apart and put it back together again just to make a contact. Are there any photos of an opened key fob on this site ? Just to see if mine is missing something ?

OK another update. Met with Briy2 today and he cleaned all the gunge out of the throttle body and some pipes feeding to and from (dunno what exactly) and reassembled the whole thing. Took code readings then I drove it around for a while and lo and behold the f******* light came on again just after I'd switched on the A/C.
Briy then re read the codes and noticed one or two anomalies and also noted that the console showed an abnormally high external temperature reading of 44º whereas the correct outside temperature was around about 15.5º. Cutting it very short he replaced the external temperature sensor from my vehicle with his own and job done. No more "spanner in car" light even when A/C is activated
Thanks Bri

Also could any one point me towards a "How to remove CDR 2005 or similar" Guide ?
Thanks

It will be RADIO code. Its the line on the carpass that reads:
RADIO Code.........2005/1234. The 2005 is the radio type (cdr2005) and the 1234 is the code.
Dont want to get hung up on semantics TB but mine says 0205/****. I assume the 0205 is the radio type but just scrambled or is there an 0205 model to your knowledge ?

Good point will check the VIN No. before trying to enter any more codes.

This is a separate issue to the current one doing the rounds as this is about inputting radio codes after a power interrupt.
When I got it back the radio (standard issue CDR 2005) was displaying "SAFE" on the console.
I had the Car Pass with me and chose to input the four digit numbers written on the the "Radio Type/Code" field. Both these four digit sets of numbers failed to work so I got past three failed attempts before realising I'd need to seek expert advice. Tried sending Dave a PM but got no response so my question is....
"The manual states that the radio needs to stay on after failed attempts. Its currently showing "7 SAFE" but it doesnt say for how long. Does anyone know, approximately, how long I need to wait with the radio and, presumably, ignition on before attempting another input code operation ?"
Thanks
PS 2Woody's pointed out the Car Pass also has another four digit number next to the "Security Code" field so I'll give that a go next time

OK to update the topic.
Met with Bri (thanks once again Bri - very pleasant bloke as all OOFers seem to be) and he read the ECU and Autobox ECU.
He got an ECU Code P1555 which said "unknown" on his read out and 2woody claims his "Snap On" scan reads the same and says "Service Interval"
The Autobox ECU said P0727 "Can receives error not present" and P1781 "Unknown DTC not present"
Bri cleared all of those and I went for a quick spin around the block. The "spanner" icon didnt reappear again until I was just about to return to start point. I put the A/C on and the icon reappeared. (Probably not connected).
Bri then re-read the ECU's and got nowt from the Autobox and just the P1555 code from the main ECU again.
Woody's about to go on holiday and Bri has very kindly offered to check the codes again if required.
Thanks

Thanks Andy H, TB and Briy2 and TB.
"Thats were, collectively, this forum scores - we have more Omega knowledge than any garage/dealer/other internet site"
Agreed.
Will meet with Bri on Friday and extract the codes.
Thanks guys.

Ok thanks TB.
I've never used a scanning device before so have no idea how it works or what its limits are. However I assumed that if the ICU was expecting a "service" to be performed then maybe the scanner could override that particular code and prevent the control indicator from lighting up ? Is that how it works or am I a long way off ?
BTW I wasnt expecting a freebie, just someone who knows what they're doing

Taking those points onboard (as they say ) what I think you're saying is anyone with a code scanner should be able to read, and cancel 
, the codes on this Omega ?
If that's the case then maybe I should rephrase the question in another thread ?

Dunno tbh as he's now away on holiday, so I'll have to wait either until he gets back or Bri or someone else can help out.
