Clearing fault codes
« on: 24 June 2013, 11:05:11 »
Hi all,

1, 3, 5 coil packs gone up the swanny. After doing the pedal trick its reporting random misfire and a misfire on pot 5. If I change the coil pack will this error code clear by itself or do I need to get a diagnostics unit on it to clear it. The engine management light isnt on but did flash when at high revs.

Engine is the Y26SE btw.

Cheers

IIRC, misfire ones do not clear by themselves.

Cheers for that TB :y

Next development, changed coil pack, runs a treat, did the pedal trick to check for fault codes and it now flashes continuously. Is this normal? ???

I'd love to get a Tech2 on that to see if the codes are still there, but not appearing in pedal trick, if ever you pass Brackley (or MK on weekdays)

Tomorow, or the next 10 days aren't good for me, as I'll be going to sunnier climbs.... :D

I work in Bletchley, so given your location, I'm sure something can be arranged on my return :)
