hrm u could pay vaux ?20 to read the codes out of the ECU with the tech1 thingy

or find out if there is some kinda paper clip trick like the 20xe ECU's

[Ben (lurk75)]

ring round a few garages, there is a guy down here who will read the codes for free if you let him do the work, otherwise its a tenner.

[Dicko]

nah its very easy with a paperclip to get the codes out of it. ill see if i can find a pic of which pins to cross

[Aragorn]

gah im a plank

first result on a google for "ECU codes Multec"

there ya go

connect a and b

The Nova handbook says that its OK for the light to come on and off - if it stays on you have a problem.

nah wen it comes on it stays on 4 ages like 10 minutes then just goes off randomly (spell?) neway ive read the fault codes n it's come up with

fault 24 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) - No speed signal or low voltage

ne ideas?

i could guess as me mate did uthe same thing

uve installed a digi dash and either cut the original sender wires as my mate had done and just wired the dash into the sender - or youve replaced the nova sender with a astra 16v sender and hooked the ECU to that which again wont work

[geordie_racer]

keep guessin there's no digi dash n the senders haven't been changed at all. neway ive erased the faults by disconecting(spell?) the battery and so far the light has re-appeared so it's lookin god. the cars of on a long journey 2mrw so will no by then
