Changed Crank Sensor
« on: 08 June 2008, 20:47:38 »
Hi, Changed the Crank Sensor, but still got code 19 coming up, is there an amount of time before the code goes or does it need to be removed by tech 2?

Normally disappears fairly quickly in my experience

I take it you have no symptoms of a failing crank sensor still (difficulty starting etc)?  Did you replce it with a genuine vauxhall sensor?  Is the EML on or is the fault stored in the memory?  You can try taking the battery off for an hour or so (overnight would be even better) and see if the code disappears - works for me but many report that this method doesn't work for them.

Usually it disappears on next start.  Might be worth seeing what its like in a few days once its had 20 clean starts

It is likely the 135 will never disappear without clearing with code reader.

Very, very, very rare for Motronic ECUs to fail (despite what service depts of dealers say).

I would be looking mechanical for the popping...
