What car is it?
Bad earth

Hello
thanks for your prompt reply
P38 4.6 HSE AUTO 1995, The car has been stored in a friends barn for 3 weeks drove there no problem, has been moved a few times in the 3 weeks (not by me)just to move other cars around, I am about to go to the Rangie now I will check for power at the solenoid if i can

Brian

If all the dash lights come on etc on turning on the ignition, but engine does not crank over, I am with the above view...it is out of sync. Mine did just the same last month. Onto autologic & job was a good un in mimutes. Been fine since.
Good luck.

Hi
Yes all dash lights come on, It is a friend that has been trying to move the r/r to his garage to fit the new UK plates etc so i have not tried myself, I know he has some form of diagnostic equipement i am not sure what? Brian

Autologic is diagnostic kit, Faultmate, Nanocom Evo or Syncmate will also do the jod as well as some others.

Hi Everybody
No joy as yet , Is there anyone near to Banbury that can help

Regards Brian

Friend of mine couldn't start their FL2 auto


They'd forgotten they needed to put their foot on the brake. .......

Earliest I can get there is tomorrow morning and only have OBDII which may not be any good.

I'll keep an eye on how things progress

Generic obd won't resync the ecu/becm...

As Datatek says above, only dedicated LR diagnostics will do the job.

Yup as I said it may not be good enough, does depend what the problem is though

Hi
Sorry for not replying to your earlier question (out at work) but glad Datatek answered you. Have you got sorted yet? If not, why not try asking to see if one of the good members of LandyZone is close to you and has a diagnostic kit & could sort you out for a few beer tokens.

Yes I know he wouldn't be able to clear it. BUT

Have I missed something here??

Clearing the fault wont solve the problem will it? until the fault has been rectified Shirley??

Would it not start if the fault was fixed, but then just show/log the fault?

Any hard fault has to be cleared for the system to work and this is probably loss of sync.

As far as I understand the problem I had (and many other P38 problems), then yes, clearing faults logged will solve problems.

The fault was loss of voltage. You have resolved that problem, but the fualt has been logged & sync has been lost between the GEMs & BCEM. Clearing the fault & re-sync'ing should sort you out.
I think I am sort of right, but those with a better understanding may be able to put it a bit clearer,
Good luck & keep us in the picture.
