First was a 12
second a 19
unsure about 3rd!

[Jimbob]

12 - start of errors
19 - crank sensor - change it now!

there is another one but didnt get that, but that 19 will likely be the improtant one

[AndyVXR300]

Ok is the crank sensor pretty much a diy job or is it best to get the dealer to do it ??

[Jimbob]

edit  :

12 - start
19 - crank sensor
57 -

[Jimbob]

57 is Idle Air Control Voltage Low

which I think is often logged with a crank sensort fault.

Easy enough to change, sure it is in the maint guiod on how to best route the new cable away from hot bits

Just had a PM to say 19 may show up if the engine was not running during the test

No, 19 is a stored incorrect crank signal

31 is engine not running.

any 19 is generally an indicator that you WILL breakdown at some inopportune moment.

I think however, there is one person on here who has a 19 that they can just not get rid off, and doesnt cause any problems, but that is the exception not the rule.

I have had code 19 on my elite for 3 years, only when I do the paperclip test tho, (enging running), if I check for codes using my reader, i dont get any.

Hmm... I've had a code 19 for about 7 months now and can't get rid of it. No problems though as I fitted a new sensor when it first started playing up and stored the code

Have you tried using a code reader to delete it?

When I was at Kevins we couldn't even get the tech 2 to comunicate with the engine ecu... Having thought about it I have a feeling the diagnostic wire isn't connected at the radio, which I believe is on the same line.

Was really hoping to have another go when I've checked behind the stereo
