engine will not turn over

The Engine ECU and the BeCM can lose sync with each other due to the low battery, but also they have been known to just throw a hissy fit and lose sync regardless of any external factors....

The Hawkeye can resync - but I can't remember if it will only do the Diesel or one or t'other of the Petrol ECMs but I don't remember which it is!

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.

According to macapina, Hawkeye will not re-sync the diesel even with the latest update, not even mentioned in the menu's.
I'm sure I read that it was one of the shortcomings of Hawkeye.

Yep just read that post too...

Read the Hawkeye manual available from the Bearmach website, there is reference to setting the ECM code, but I think that is only when the BeCM is new and unlocked, once it is set to robust, the Hawkeye cant resync the odes.
 
Hi Just an update
I have had the BECM checked and have been told that it is OK, and in the persons opinion that checked it the problem is with the MULTI PLUG CONNECTOR that is behind the trim panel adjacent to the bonnet release lever, I have had a look and there does not seem to be any corrosion to speak of

Any ideas Brian

Who checked the BECM? Have you tried a re-sync??
