ive just got myself an all comms unit, on the instrument pack module its reading ebv fuction fault recieved from abs ecu,iv tried clearing it but it keeps coming back. anybody any idea what it is? and should i worry about it?
 
Some cars with certain specs/coding combined with certain test equipment will come up with certain faults that can be safely ignored. If nothing is lit up on the dash and everything functions don't worry about it.
 
cool, ill ignore it... ive also got electrtic thermostat circuit fault showing, but it seems to work ok. i was going to change it, but should i just ignore that aswell?
 
No, fix your mapped thermostat. It means the elctric element has died, it uses this to open the thermostat further in adverse conditions, probably not too important in this weather umless you are towing but needs doing all the same.
 
mm i know the stat is only bout 8months or so old,is it likely to fail in such a short time? or more likely to be a wiring fault? i also am losing a bit of coolant from somewhere but cant locate it? dont suppose this would throw the fault if it gets a bit too low?
 
It may be a wiring fault. It might be the code was never reset, it might be a faulty stat, especially if it was a spurious one rather than OEM. There is certain parts that are worth paying the premium. Saving twenty quid on a part is all well and good until it costs you an engine, or worse than that with steering and suspension.
 
iv tried clearing the fault, it wont clear. says electric thermostat circuit fault.last occerence maximum signal. im not sure if this means it was the rrs last recorded fault? looks like ill have to just change it and take it from there?
