Hi there if anyone can help me I’ve got a Range Rover p38 v8 and the battery went dead flat and tried the pka code in the door and it don’t work is there any other way of doing it thanks
 
If you mean the EKA code and you have done it slowly and correctly( see below instructions) it usually means the door latch micro switches are fubar. The attached test sheet shows how to check the switch. The code can be also entered with a Nanocom. If you are not sure the code is correct the local dealer usually gives you the code with proof of ownership.










Start.....keyturned to locked & back to vertical four times. <<Tells theBecM you are now


goingto enter the EKA Code>


Then<1st digit> entered in the unlocked (clockwise) direction andback to vertical for


eachtime.


Then<2nd> digit entered in the locked (anti-clockwise) directionand back to


verticalfor each time.


Then<3rd> digit entered in the unlocked (clockwise) direction andback to vertical for


eachtime.


Then<4th> digit entered in the locked (anti-clockwise) directionand back to vertical for


eachtime.


Finally,Turn once to unlocked and all the doors should unlock and the car"should" be


re-mobilised.


Itis very important to make sure you deliberately and carefully executeeach keyturn


ANDback to vertical (and no further).


Thedoorlock contacts do go dodgy with age & use.


Theflashing of the side-repeaters or the dashboard lamp (depending onhow the system


wasset up) are your only indications that your entries are being seen.


Ifthey are not consistently being seen then you will need a Nanocom tore-mobilise the


engine.


Ifthe switches are inoperative then EKA entry may be simulated byshorting the wires at the plug(s)


ifyou have access to the inside of the door on the driver’s side withthe door-card removed.


Ashort between the Black Wireand the White wire simulates an “Anticlockwise” or “Lock”action of


thekey.


Ashort between the Black wireand the RED wire simulates a “Clockwise” or “Unlock” actionof the


key.


Thismay (at the very least) enable the EKA code to be entered and normalkey-fob locking/unlocking


andengine starting to resume.

Sorry, but the EKA cannot be entered via Nanocom on all model years.
 
My mistake. Is it just later models then? I did think it covered all models.
I do not know for sure which on which years it can be done, I'm just going on the reports of others. I don't think it can be done on mine but it's a while since I looked as both have EKA turned off so it's no longer relevant.

Are you getting any indications that it is accepting your key turns, Indicator's or a light on the dash is supposed to light.
Have you noticed any funny goings on with your central locking?

Cheers Keith Do know turning EKA off is a great advantage

PAM v36 rings a bell. Marty had a massive stack of BECMs in his garage and we trawled through one day and came to the conclusion that anything post '94 was probably OK.
