Codes

2003 TD4 engine mgt light stays on but code reader says "no codes" engine turns over fine but doesn't fire. Went into safe mode briefly before dying completely - any clues??

When you crank, does rev counter move? Could be crank sensor. Or, does it even try to start? These engines suffer the electric fuel pump going down quite a bit!

Hi Rangiedaz
No -no movement from rev counter and no attempt to start. Eng mgt light stays on permanent.
Just opened sediment drain and fuel clean so I guess it's fuel filter/pump out in the morning see what I find. -Thanks for the response

When you say no code,s what are you using to read the ecu as on pre 2004 TD4 you need a L/R compatable code reader. If the light is on then there will be a code stored.
Would put my money on the pump give it a thump and see if it starts, been known to happen.

Can you hear the pump at the wheel arch running with the key turned to position II?

As Booboodag says pre 2004 diesels are not OB11 compliant so the codes can only be read and cleared on a LR diagnostic computer. Can you hear the LP fuel pump running when you switch on ? It should run for app 20 seconds whilst it's priming the system, pumps under the O/S/R wheel arch on your model (in case you weren't sure)
