Hi all on my way home this morning picking the gf up i was going down the motorway and a orange light came on on the dash board.I think its the engine manament light it stayed on a good 4 5 mins till it was safe to pull over.When i did i opened the bonnet and all look as it should be can anyone no wot this can be.I did have all the breather pipes off about 2 weeks back can it have something to do with that

Have you done a paperclip test to see if any error codes are stored in ECU?

[Miggy24]

Ok well i looked at that and tryed it and i dont really understand how it works.The flashes went 2 then 1 then 2 then pause the 3,2,3  tryed counting all of them and got up 2 about 140 odd flashes so i must be doing it wrong any help or tips

OK, the 1,2 = 12. Which should repeat 3 times, ie 1,2 small pause 1,2 small pause 1,2

Then a longer pause, then next code flashed out

[TheBoy]

look at the video on my guide, should give you the idea

[Miggy24]

Right well i did that and i got code 31 what does that mean.I found one that said 31 means no RPM but thats for the v6 and mines only the baby 2.0l 8v

[TheBoy]

Was that the only code except the 12. Or where there others after the 31?

The cycle loops back round to 12 when all codes flashed out, so keep looking until you see the 12 again.

[Miggy24]

yeh it did go back to 12

[Miggy24]

i`ll try it again just incase lol

[Miggy24]

Right i did it again and its doing the same thing again

[TheBoy]

So only codes are 12 and 31?

What did this orange light look like?

Any other symptoms, eg poor perfomance?

[Miggy24]

looks like a weird camra its under the handbreak light.well i thought the car fealt abit shakky but the gf said it all seamed fine to her.When doing the paper clip test on the 8v engine does it need to be running




Got code 13 what does this mean

[prr]

hi to another miggy owner in the south west try to read the codes again but you have to watch the light the codes run round in a cycle

[prr]

if im right its a montronic ecu
code 12 start of test
 code 13 is oxegen sensor no change in voltage/open circuit check wiring no breaks etc
code 31 rpm crankshaft sensor
if it was this the engine would be in limp mode
im sure someone more knowing will coment soon
