Check engine light / dash lights.
Hi all , yesterday my dash board lights were not working .The blower ,radio and external lights worked but inside the speedometer fuel gauge and reverse sensor were not working along with the internal indicator flashes. Today without me doing anything they all work fine as I went for a short test drive. The check engine light is now on for the drive .I am wondering if anyone has any idea as to what the problem could be before I take it to be looked over by someone with a T4. Thanks all.

Hi Terry,
I'd start by checking that your plenum isn't full of rainwater. Simon

If it is a diesel and you have an FBH fitted, cut the red/white wire to pin 2 of the 6 pin plug, this is only the diagnostics wire, that affects nothing, but can cause havoc with the BUS, not a fault, just a very old design and development flaw.

Unsure but the fault has disappeared
Hi,
I’ve an update of sorts and I would like to thank you for the replies . The fault is really beyond my knowledge to solve so I decided to have it checked over by Kevin at the Rover Centre in Wickford who has a T4 . Before taking it over the faulty dashboard started working and the check engine light went off. The T4 showed that there was a fault with the dashboard and a miss fire .Kevin deleted the codes and re ran the test and there was no issue everything was fine. Kevin said that if it happens again the dashboard would have to be sent away for testing other than that its unknown what the cause was.Kevin said it could be a component in the dash board on the way out as the cars are getting old now and or moister getting in somewhere. I will just have to wait and see if anything develops. I think sometimes it’s better to hold back from jumping in looking for a repair because without a T4 it can be difficult and in this case it may well be a one of glitch all I can do is wait and see. Thanks again! |
