My dvd reader (optical) go out in their MFD2. I first noticed something was wrong when i didn't see my compass working. Then it would go on and off for a bit and now the nav disc is not recognized at all. Even better yet, I can't eject the disc....
View 3 RepliesMy 2015 GTI SE PP 6-speed is 7 months old with only 4000 miles on it. I took her out for a drive on twisting, changing-elevation roads near my house this past Sunday when it was 100 degrees out. My AC was blowing full-force and I was driving moderately hard up a twisty hill at 35 miles an hour in 2nd gear when the EPC light came on and the power was cut noticeably, as it went into limp mode. I pulled over, shut her down and restarted. The EPC light went away, the power came back and I have had no further issues. I only have an OBD II reader, not VAGCOM, and the OBD II didn't read any fault at all.
How concerned should I be about this episode and secondly, what can I look for in case there's a reasonably simple physical issue (like a leaking hose or loose sensor plug) that I can rectify instead of taking it to the dealer (it is under warranty, but my closest dealer does not engender confidence- they treat you like you're a problem when you walk in the door)?
This is my first car with tons of electronics and I'm a little concerned that the EPC issue could get ahead of me. I'm a good wrench, but this is something the ECU is dealing with and I'm not very clear on how to proceed.
By changing the region for the instrument cluster in Module 17 (VAG-COM) to Europe or UK, it removes the accept screen. Well, I did that, and it works, but then immediately I get the ABS light on and the ESC doesn't work, and then the parking brake light goes on and says there is a fault. If I change it back to US or Canada, everything is back to normal. I'm just tired of having to press "accept" every time I start the car and want to use my steering wheel controls for volume and such.

View 7 RepliesMe and the wife got in the ole '97 1.8. After may be 5 mins or so, I noticed the CEL was on.
I've only ever seen the CEL light on once, and it was b/c the gas cap was loose.
The car ran fine, nothing out of the ordinary. After getting home, I plugged in the dusty OBD reader thingy and it spit out a code, I can't remember. P401 or something like that. EGR emission low?
It appeared that my EGR valve is all cruddy with carbon deposits. So Is removal/cleaning terribly difficult? I'm thinking some carb cleaner and maybe a scraper would do the trick.
2000 Honda Odyssey - CEL came on a couple of days ago and I took it to get the code read. The reader says it can't link up with the ecu. Tried the same reader on another car and it worked fine. The transmission was rebuilt last year (about 9 mo. ago) and I'm concerned that something was not hooked up right during the rebuild. Is this a possibility for the non-linking of the reader to the ecu? Also, last year, before the tranny rebuild, I had a reader hooked up to the ecu and it worked fine.
As a side note, the TCS light comes on sometimes after starting the car and won't turn off. If I restart the car it will turn off and work properly. I imagine this is related, but not sure since I can't read the code for the CEL.
The USB port/reader is not recognizing any flash memory that it once recognized. I recently had my Navigation unit replaced. Could this be the problem? I am not getting any error messages or anything that would indicate that there is a flash drive inserted. Both of my flash drives (filled with mp3s) use to work in the USB port. I have tested the drives on other devices and they are still functional.

View 7 RepliesOk, did a quick search, found nothing. Is there a way to get CEL codes without a reader on '01 F150? I know the way on 80's stuff, is there on newer stuff?
View 2 Replies2000 F150 V6 auto just bought it 140k. Check engine light on.. Code reader wont come on? has 2 lighter sockets in dash one on the left works right one dont?

In California, if my OBC11 reader shows, "Cat Not Ready" and all other systems are "Ready" will it pass the smog test for an enhanced area?
In other words, do all systems need to show, "Ready" or am I allowed one or two "Not Ready"?
I do not have CEL on.
I am trying to find out how many o2 sensors are suppose to be on my 2003 excursion? I am getting two codes on my OBD reader, an "o2" and an "o2 heater" code flashing...... I have replaced both the o2 sensors i found, both were at the exhaust manifolds.
View 14 RepliesI finally have the OBD II reader and running the Dash command on an iPhone 5s. I have downloaded the Ford Super duty 6.7 Skin for the dashboard. It seams to be reading most information but It will not give me the exhaust gas temperature. Not only that, I am still trying to set up some gauges with difficulty. Is there something else I should be doing or setting for this reading. Or is there a different Apple app that I should be using?
View 14 RepliesTruck had a rich on bank 2 code about a month ago, I cleared it and the service engine light stayed off for quite some time.
Last friday on the way home from work the truck started shaking badly right from idle, and at one point on the freeway the service engine started flashing. I couldn't pull over as I was on a bridge but once I dropped my speed the light stayed on but the flashing stopped.
I went to plug the truck in today and first shot it didn't communicate with the code reader at all, I talked to someone who told me that the cigerette lighter fuse is also the OBD port fuse, I pulled a fuse from somewhere else and plugged the reader in again. This time it started communicating with the truck but didn't display any codes while all the while the truck is miss firing and the service engine light is lit up on the dash.
One other weird thing: The fuse had an LED indicator to show that it is blown, when I push the cig lighter in the led gets a hell of a lot brighter, if there is always power drawn through the circuit shouldn't the LED be constantly bright all the time? I'm wondering if there is a short somewhere. Where to look next??
I have the 2011 Santa Fe V6 and it has the P0447 & P0455 codes popping up on my reader. I checked the pins to make sure that there is voltage getting to the solenoid, (about 11volts at the 2 pins) and it seems good. No fuel lines broken, or cap messed up, etc.
View 6 RepliesI am told I am possibly having some engine misfires and I need to get my error codes read. The problem is I don't want to drive the car to an auto parts store to get read because the engine is really rough and bumpy. So what kind of code reader to get, OBD I, OBD II, CAN..etc??? I have a 2000 Buick Park Ave. I have a mechanic coming over tomorrow, and it seems he doesn't have a code reader off hand, so I gotta pick one up...

View 3 RepliesI've bought the accessory cargo net for my Mk7 Golf (5N0 065 111) but it's a flat-on-the-floor type, and I'd like a vertical version near the rear of the cargo area. It looks like there is some sort of rigging points on the sides of the interior panels right near the hatch, where a vertical net might fit. I find no such part from VW.
