Astra K - again
« on: 12 June 2023, 12:28:59 »
Got a message come up on my display (it's a 1.4 Petrol) 'Service Vehicle Soon'.

Went and bought an iCarsoft Vauxhall V2 code reader.

If I try to read the ECM I get the following message ;-

Lost communication with DC/DC converter control module A on bus B.

It has no problems reading Mrs AA's 1.4 Sri.

Any ideas please.

It reads all other modules OK with no fault codes.

On second thoughts, having read some of the replies, it merely means a non-emissions fault.
I usually just take it to my local indie, who is very reasonable for code reading, but I know you like to do this yourself  :-\

Thanks, yup, I've searched the forums, mainly happens on the diesels - glow plugs - no mention of it happening on a petrol.

I just hope that the ECM is not cream crackered.

Not particularly, but I wouldn't trust any of the indies. around here, loads of bad reports, and the main dealer will be a rip off!

Happened on mine 3 or 4 times, as you say, glow plug. But mine is a J, never happened on the wife's K.

Looks like I'm going to have to bite the bullet and book it into the Stealers .

As far as I'm aware it's neither.

It will have a voltage converter though, or has that nothing to do with it.

Thinking about it, yes, strange message.

I've found this :-

Perhaps it will mean something to someone with more expertise and knowledge than me
