    Read the Nanocom guides first, so you know what the menus do for each ECU. Also check the seat fuses. With Ignition on, you need to read the EMS code, and write it down. Then with Ignition off, write that into the Immobilisation Code box in...

    Check the switches with a multimeter. Also check the ABS ECU inputs for 12V when you press & release the pedal. Look through the RAVe diagram for the most convenient points. You could also try the other ECU inputs. Several of them show the...

    The compressor clutch error is saying the HEVAC is not seeing the expected current from the compressor clutch. Low gas opens the dual pressure switch, so the clutch cannot operate. But it could also be a faulty or open circuit clutch ...

    Not for the Nanocom input values. They are simply what the ECU sees from switches or sensors. Pin-1 is 12V from BECM. Pin-2 signals brake on to ABS ECU pin-14, and Diesel Engine ECU pin-31. Pin-3 to various other places to signal brake on...

    Does the pressure switch definitely change state ? Another path for tank leak is via NRV-1 & out the exhaust silencer when the pump is off & diaphragm open.

    Easy to check - just re-plug the RF receiver direct & see if the FOB communicates. Assuming Nanocom is working, clear the RF memory. Then press the fob & read the memory again.

    You can't change the setting because it's an input. The switch on the pedal frame has two contacts in it. Onbe is normall closed & the other normally open. Therefore both toggle on Inputs screen on the Nanocom when you press the pedal.

    More likely the contacts were corroded, and pulling & re-inserting did the trick. Best clean them thoroughly to prevent future issues. Has it been stored or used in a damp environment ?

    Are you checking both sides of each fuse ? There needs to be 12V passing through the fuse !! Another simple check is to try opening & closing windows with Nanocom (you have bought one I hope ??)

    Always worth having a refurb kit just in case. That way if it fails one day, you can refurn in the evening, and have the car going ready for the next day !! As Keith says, excessive vibration is usually one or two of the rubber mounts failed.
