Got a problem guys, need to pick the collective brain again
Started out today to remove the abs ecu
Removed the battery, rad pipe & the 3 round multi plugs for access.
Gave up on the abs box, built everything back up. filled the water & went to start it. ignition lights all ok but no crank.
Unscrewed the 3 round multiplugs & reconnected them. And the car did start. Now though I'm getting "automatic gearbox" in the display (car is sitting in park ticking over).
Only thing I can think is the middle multiplug ( the blue one I think) doesnt seem to lock in properly. the twist lock turns to lock in the socket but there is no click to lock it in place. no matter how hard I turn it it won't lock
Please help, cos I'm supposed to pick up shewhoisneverwrong in about an hour :-[

Not sure if you can do a paperclip test on yours, if so please post the codes. It could just be a coincidence, but the connection sounds fave to me. Have you tried running three wires to make the connection?
::)

Hmmm, of what you have disturbed, those connectors are only bit related to gearbox...
-
Yes you can paperclip yours - don't think its necessary tho as you have only disconnected battery & 3 plugs. Check 3 plugs fully home and locked.
When i did my abs ecu only removed water hose - left battery and plugs connected.

paper clip test only reads engine ecu. You can try it, it wont hurt. Really need tech 2 to read any other ecu's. Gota be the plug tho.

The Blue plug is the one to look at, from my own experience.
This from 2005
