I know this is an oldish thread but did you get to the bottom of this noise and if so what was the cause? I have an odd sound on my 2011 L322 5.0.S/C which kind of sounds like a low pitch gong that I'm trying to investigate. I hear it mostly at low speeds and in stop start traffic, so just...

Can close this thread off by reporting that MOT now all passed. Initially failed due to some track rod dust covers and headlight alignment but these were easily fixed by the MOT garage for me so all legal again for another year. Onto the 'other' jobs I now want to do. I'm sure I'll be back...

I would have tended to agree with you Mark. I think the old fusebox had an issue but it looks like the ECU was also at fault. Old ECU was tried on new fusebox. Even with the new fusebox I was still getting the low voltage reading I'd seen earlier at the ECU plug and at the relay. The low...

Good news! ABS Fault is now gone :):):):) Seems a new ABS ECU (or 2nd hand one off ebay) was the thing that finally fixed it. Although I have the older Wabco C version that is supposed to be more reliable. I think the whole no power message at pin 1 may have been a misleading code that...

Oh! That's a bit worrying then that you have this same issue and have pretty much replaced the whole brake system and still have it. I see you are in the US. Here in the UK we have an annual statutory test called an MOT which if you fail means you cannot drive the vehicle on the public roads...

No I didn't connect the ECU when I jumped the relay as all I wanted to test was that the wiring down to the ECU was not losing voltage. I wasn't sure if it was safe to connect to the ECU like that with the relay jumped but the more I think about it I guess that should be ok. Will give that a...

Update on this issue...... Sadly still getting the ABS Fault error coming up on the dashboard :-( Replaced the Fuse box this weekend. Also replaced the Accumulator while I was about it as it was displaying issues (pump kicking in every time I pressed the brake pedal) and it was very easy to...

I'll double check the sensors are pushed in, tempted even to add new ones of those to the list of things to work through replacing and seeing if it resolves the issue if I can't find anything else. Like I say I would like to keep this one going but looking around I think the brakes could all do...

Yes, I thought 0.3v was a bit low. From doing more reading and searching online I'm suspicious of the fuse box and / or the battery connections. This whole problem started after I installed a new battery after the old battery went flat and wouldn't recharge. The 0.3v does seem like there may...

By the same do you mean getting the ABS Fault error on the dash or getting the no power at pin 1 on the ECU error from diagnostics? If it was a faulty sensor then I would have expected Hawkeye to report that, but willing to try anything to resolve the issue. MOT has expired now so technically...

So had some time on the car today. No joy in resolving the problem. What I think I have established is I don't think there are any breaks in the wiring and I think the fusebox is ok. For the RL2 relay I established that there is voltage coming through the relay when it engages and I can...

Thanks, but yep, tried both swapping the relay with another similar one in the fusebox and with a spare I had lying around and with a new one I bought on the weekend. I know these relays can be temperamental but with all those permutations I would have thought Hawkeye would have recorded some...

OK thanks I will get that panel off and check those multi connectors. EAS (touch wood) is all working fine.

Hi All I have a 1997 P38 4.6 V8 Auto which I've owned for about 5-6 years now. Was initially used as a 'skip' for a building project we had and has now become a much beloved 2nd/3rd vehicle that we aim to keep for as long as we can and actually look after more now than we did when it was used...

Hello all, Just become a P38 owner due to a project we are doing on renovating a house in Weston Super Mare and needed something of a workhorse that could carry stuff and make the odd tip visit as our other cars not really suitable for that sort of thing. Already getting the bug with only a...
