Omega General Help / Re: Management light...

« on: 29 November 2011, 19:14:58 »

Hi there, I think your first port of call should be to read the codes. There is a help guide to do this and you only need a paperclip:) this will give you a start point.

Hi Im in Rushden, Just down the A14 I guess from you Serek?

maybe will have some time weekend if that ok with you

Serek, That would be brilliant if that was possible.  Im going to change the battery over in the morning all being well just to see if that makes any odds but still need to understand if my ECU has gone west..LOL

Yet more information to add to this one. I checked the battery voltage tonight as suggested.  When I came to the car the battery was sitting at 12.1V, started the car but it was very hard to turn over.  Checked the voltage again and it was running at 14.1V.  Put the lights on only (xenons) the voltage was 13.8V.

Turned the car off and left the lights on and monitored the voltage.  Took approx 1 minute to drop to 11V and would probably still dropped further had I not rescued it.

Would this be battery at fault?

Omega General Help / Tech 2

« on: 24 November 2011, 15:25:13 »

Afternoon all,

Im just fishing here, but does anyone near me (northants) have a tech 2 that they would plug into my car.  I have a number of fault codes to be read but they are not coming out right on the blink code.

Unfortunately the car is not road legal so can not take it anywhere.

Cup of tea and a slice of cake in it 

Cheers

Ive watched my video back and it does not seem to be consisitent with the video in the help guide, however from what I canmake out, most of the codes appear to be voltage high / low related to various sensors. With the potential battery issue could these be related??  Is there a way to reset the management without using the tech 2?

Cheers for all your help guys.

Omega General Help / Update

« on: 23 November 2011, 17:27:26 »

Evening All,

Well, I managed to get the instrument cluster out and sure enough the MIL light was missing.  Fitted a new light and tested everyhting out.  I have taken a video of the blink code sequence as it goes on for a few minutes.  What I dont understand is if there is a blink between codes.  Any advice on that please. 

Also what is the best way to upload a 3gp mobile phone video so that you guys can take a look.

I also noticed a check light in the bottom Right of the MID display.  Can anybody suggest what this is? 

The other strange thing that happens is when the car is started, the MIL light does not come on???  Admittedly im not driving, just trying to sort out best i can on the drive.

The battery voltage seems to be dropping quickly overnight.  Im just getting enough to start the car. 

Information overload.....Sorry but trying to rescue an otherwise very nice car.

Thanks for all that. It is a small bore pipe that comes from the front of the engine up and over the rh side of the inlet and joins at the back of the engine. I'll check at work for an elbow if no joy ill pm you. Cheers. Just checked out the guide for cluster removal, so will try and get that looked at.

removing the instrument pack is actually very easy on Omega B.

I normally take out each of the bulbs and check each with a multimeter, then change all of the back-lighting bulbs as a matter of course.

Then you can maybe get to the bottom of the problem.

Meanwhile, have a good look at the vacuum connections on the induction system.

Cheers for that. How does the binnacle come out? Can't see any fixings?? I've found a back pipe disconnected. Looks like elbow missing. It sounds like the car is breathing very heavy through the top inlet system.

Evening all. I've recently purchased a 3.0 elite. It's not running right as it is very down on power. I've gone to do the paperclip test tonight and noticed there is no eml light coming on!! It would appear that it has been deactivated some way. Anyone know how to get that back on? Could be a dash out and new bulb? Me thinks someone was trying to hide something. Notice the car feels like its missing at idle but seems to be ok with revs on. Also sunroof control not lit and roof not working. Fuse present and looks ok but not checked continuity.  Many thanks.
