if anyone can shed some light on this plz do as its scaring the crap out of me,
my girlfriend just got in from driving my 95 import and she says that when she left for home the car travelled about 20 yards then all of the sudden the power steering went solid and the 4 red warning lights all appeared together oil,battery and check engine,so she switched off restarted then all was fine.

this is the second time its done this in a matter of months,plus a coupple of
weeks ago i done the fault test on the ecu my results were 11,13,21,24,31,45
ive heard that a reset can possibly remove most of these fingers crossed so any help would be much appreciated.

 

aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhh

 

can you be a bit more specific?

Hope this helps.

 

the usual for that many codes is they are all old.. reset and you may get one or two and help diagnose the problem.. or if you still get all of them.. then it is mostlikely an engine / ecu earthing problem..

thanks simon you put my mind at rest a bit more il do the reset tonight and let you know how it goes.

 

no problem.. report back on how it goes

 

Sounds like she just stalled it to me, hence no PAS, alternator output, oil pressure etc etc!

Simon

 

your the second person to say that,but she said that the engine was still running when this occured,

 

Is there anyway to lose the power steering when the engine is running? its a mechanical process running off the engine isn't it ?

 

ok ive done the reset seemed easy enough and all went as it should,then i done the fault test and the check light is just flashing once a second which means no fault so im propper happy,the green plugs were taped back to the loom so i think that is its first eva reset (wow).

cheers for your website simon its been a great help

 

well i reckon you could have a dry roasted peanut in the fuel line or maybe a lime and chilli almond best to get a technician to look at that could be very salty indeed

 

ace..
