Yes thats what I thought, I checked wiring dia and it just feeds ABS from same wire as feed to brake lights. I checked for continuity and that was fine. More head scratching then.

Omega General Help / Quick question
« on: 16 June 2025, 15:46:50 »
Live data says engine running lean, I know I can smell it. Bank1 and 2 say 128 when cold and 134 when hot what ever that is. Says rich if I rev it, no intake leaks I could find, idle speed spot on , temp gauge matches scanner and no exhaust leaks. Any ideas?

Yes but now it says brake switch fault but that works , checked the wiring and all looks okay. Brakes do need bleeding as a bit long travel when servo working. Only 2 wires on switch by the way.

Quite a lot on the Austin, sorted the ABS "fault" . Works better with an earth wire on the pump motor! Checked all the suspension bolts, top up diff but cant get plug out of gearbox not that it lost any oil while out. Lots of other stuff done but have to make blanking plates for the air injection holes in n/s exhaust as it looks like my blanking grub screws failed.

Its working, yup works better with the earth lead on the motor!!!! I know why I missed it as unit fitted before engine and it was hidden, only saw it today as doing some checking /snagging jobs and was lay underneath.

Well neither my scanner or Ds modern one will support activation of pump, tried to get the relays out to bridge pump feed but only the top came off one (not the one I wanted) and the other refuses to budge. D will see if the folks he sends ABS units to can fix this one on Monday.

Just found an online Vauxhall repair manual, PIA to find what I wanted but it said code 35 due to pump not making pressure after 3 secs or pump not turning off. Looks like it will defo have to be serviced.

Got my Snap on code reader working! double checked the ABS fault , yup pressure release relay. So while it was plugged in I checked the engine, like last time no faults but scrolled down to data and it said lean mixture. I knew it was lean from the smell of the exhaust so something else to check. It does do live data.
