TC LIGHT AND TEMP GAUGE
« on: 14 July 2008, 15:50:42 »
Right I am beginning to get fed up with this happening now so have just done a paper clip test engine off ignition on and have got codes 12 49 31 12
 49 is battery high voltage could this be the cause of problem  :question

Either....

Stick a meter on battery and rev to 2.5k rpm

or

pop it over one day


I suspect the TC light might not be good news :(

The TC light keeps coming on and the temp gauge goes to max and the red high temp lights up at the same time its not all the time and usually goes out if the engine is stopped and restarted althought it does sometimes stop the engine restarting I have not found anything so far the paper clip showed up the fault 49 but nothing else out of the ordinary

Thats not that bad if its just that but I have a horrible feeling it is not that simple  ::) if  I get a problem its usualy something no one else has ever come across  ::)  I will stick a meter across the battery and see what I get  :y
