Read it a few times but the symptoms are very differentCharlie8 had"No lights on at start or driving ( < 50 mph )ISG stopped workingCC not working - switches on and dash light, but can never set a speedClutch down when moving - RPM will drop RAPIDLY ( one of the issues and so bad driving experience on gearchange ) and goto 1K if left, no less. This happens even with no ESC light on ie from start50 mph ESC light comes on ( whatever gear )The gear change notification on the computer not working for best mpg"For me the light is on all the timeISG - always hit and miss although I think it hasn't functioned in over a yearCC still worksEngine is normalI get gear change notificationsWhich is why I dismissed the clutch switch may have a look if I get chance, from that thread though it appears to be a pain to get at!!Thanks though I had thought about the clutch switch
Thanks both I think it is increasingly looking like I am going to have to get the codes read with a better ODB reader.The lack of VSC doesn't bother me massively, it is the first car I have had with it! Was very strange the first time it functioned it felt like something had grabbed the back of the car. The Orange light is annoying and is an MOT fail in the UK, which is due Sept for this car so need to get it sorted before then.I am quite tempted with the Delphi 150e ODB clone, will report back if I end up getting one and it works! Otherwise will report back when I manage to figure out which code is causing the ESC to fail.
Hi Dave,@Spongey Mate, Ive finally had some time to read and think. I assume that you haven't found the brakes to be less efficient and that ABS is not allowing them to lock up. You will possibly feel the pedal pulse a bit on hard braking.So we can say ABS is definitely working?Since ABS is reported to be fully functional, no ABS warning lamp, suggest wheel sensor is ok. Therefore the wheel sensors should be ok and connected to the ABS module and pump. If it was me, I would NOW go for the ESC module..Is the ECU talking to it and are the sensors connected? - check plugs under bonnet.Look for and clear codes- you are on the way there already.There was an issue with some late FDs where the module case was cracked and water was getting in.The earlier mention of a (one ?) wheel lockup is not good., But gives us hope that you have a leak.I say hope, because the next suggestion is bleaker than a Cambrian weather forecast,Most likely, you will need to see your friendly wrecker and get a new HECU. .
You Know Im busy on the weekends.
Hello again all,So the light has come back (ESC off) plugging in diagnostics it is the same error. I have reset the steering angle for the second time to remove the error because it was annoying and I could, in theory, do this every 2 weeks or so but have a feeling this may only be a temporary fix.The question is has anyone replaced the SAS, is it easy to get to? or is it a non-serviceable part and therefore a new MDPS unit. Looking on the internet I can find FD sas but no GD parts. From the diagrams, the part looks very buried in the MDPS.Second-hand Power Steering units go for under a £100 on eBay but removal looks pretty involved.
Thanks once again Tw2005.I will start hunting a second-hand column down. If / When I get round to swapping I will try grab loads of photos to help other people.Dave
