Title: Fixed it
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 13 September 2008, 19:33:39
Fault code 38 (lambda) now disappeared. Fault found and fixed - confirmed by a 100+ mile trip today, where no codes were logged and no EML coming on  :y

It wasn't the sensor - confirmed by swapping them, and not getting a fault on the passenger bank :y

dodgey connection

In a nutshell yep! A little test between the wires on the sensor, and the wires just the other side of the connector on the loom, gave me an immediate result.

The black cable (from the sensor) was basically not buzzing through the other side to the loom - so a fault within the connector itself.

Just cut the wires for this one, and joined and all has been fine since. I'll have to get the soldering gun and heatshrink out as soon as it's dry!

A little bit of the old me came out on this one.

Got fed up of thinking about it, so I went under there and laid in the piddling rain and dark, with a torch between my teeth and tested the wiring....

Was worth a soaking for the result, though ;D
