Did a paper clip test on a 3.0 manual facelift 2000 as dash clocks die and abs and tc come on, could this be code 31, no engine RPM signal, where do i find the problem for this?
Thanks

If you do the test with the engine running you will not get the code as the sensor is getting a signal.

Ok so not 31 that is the problem?

paper clip test & pedal trick only do engine codes.

Sounds like the dreaded ABS ECU to me

12 is start/end of test
31 is normal with engine off as crank shaft sensor is obviously not getting a signal

both TC and ABS lights on and speedo not working is 99% certainly TC/ABS ECU failed or 1% both sensors not working...

Cleaned and replaced rear diff sensors no change 
Boy i hope its not the ecu brake unit  what a night mare to do!!

AS above - dying abs ecu most likely 

Awkward job to do but doable

Think it maybe better to remove engine to do the job!

nah, easy for you Rob, iirc there is a guide.

Its a piece of cake mate...just bend the unit up towards you a little as the brake pipes have some flexibility and the screws holding the ECU in place are easy to get to to remove and put back

Thanks will have to see? its my brothers and now he wants to sell it!! i'll do the work for nothing...
