TECH 2

[TheBoy]

Faulty stalk, faulty clutch switch, faulty brake switch. Or user error...

cruise stalk from Leavalley motors, hopefully tested before despatch.

Car is an auto so cruise switch not reqd!

Brake switch i assume is okay.

SVS Light still on car and tech 2 couldnt clear it, fault P0700 Transmission fault still remains, could this prevent the cruise being used?

Presuambly, they then read gearbox to see why gearbox flagging to engine that its not well?

With SVS light on, maybe cruise doesn't work (don't know)

I have so far had 2 faulty stalks from Lea Valley!

That could be the reason then......i know when i had all my probs with the cam sensor and gearbox codes P0700 being one of them......cruise wouldnt work....i know i tried it once....but gearbox was in limp mode as well....

SVS light? ....is that the EML??

[TheBoy]

SVS = Service Vehicle Soon = car with spanner light = EML on facelifts

[TheBoy]

And to confuse things...

Prefacelifts:
Picture of engine with lightning strike = EML
Picture of Exhaust with heat haze = Emmissions problem

Facelifts:
Picture of car with spanner = EML
Picture of engine with ligthning strike = Emmissions problem

Nice and consistent. Not.

Ah rite , cheers Jaime, as Jonny's is a 2.2 its his EML on then.

Strange a Tech2 couldnt clear it....i assume then the fault is present then all time, reason code wont clear.
Agree with Jaime, gearbox ecu needs to be read to find out why its not happy

Oh btw the engine symbol on a facelift doesnt have the lightning strike, just piccy of engine  
But still confusing i have to admit

Guys

My EML is still on, still getting P0700 fault and P1700 Transmission Indeterminate Failure (Failed to Neutral) what does this mean.

I am really fed up of vauxhall telling me they can't read gearbox ecu. I am sending Transmission Control Module off for test to see if thats at fault (Is that the ECU?)

Does anyone know of someone with Tech 2 in Nottingham area as I am really desperate, considering getting rid of meega although I love it to bits!

Help pleeeeeeeeeeeeease.

The error codes are just saying another system has an error, and can engine go into a limp mode to reduce power.

The error code may be in g/box ecu...


However, Taxi Driver had these faults, with no code store in g/box - turned out to be failed cam sensor....  (despite fact that dealer had changed it)   ...however, iirc, he was also getting intermittent P0340 (cam sensor/hall sensor)

Just arrived home from vauxhall dealer.

They had the car 1 and a quarter hours and updated the ecu software, fitted new headlight bulb and enabled cruise control, they charged me £35.78p

On way home, checked cruise control, still not working ! remains a mystery.

Still good value!

Good value? they are barking mad, at this rate they will go out of business (or have their garage torched by angry Vx dealers from around the country)  

Worth a trip up to Bilsthorpe that one!  

It's a hundred quid in London

Thanks for the reply!  

I had a new camshaft sensor fitted last month, and new MAF sensor, do you know anyone who can read purely the gearbox ecu ?

If TheBoy can't read it with his Tech2, no one can...

I was getting codes in the g/b ecu, two of them, forget what the codes where now, but they were can bus errors. Dealer hadnt changed the cam sensor. he just lied to me and told me he had!

I would take it to see Jaime's tech2.......if he carnt read the g/b ecu.....then possibly the g/b ecu is faulty
