Ecu fault codes
Ecu fault codes
I have an intermitant cold start problem which luckily hasn't yet left me stranded but before it does has anybody managed to succesfully read the ecu's fault codes and put them to good use. I've seen code readers in Halfords and on Ebay but I seem to remember reading somewhere that they don't work with the Bx and none of the local garages I've asked can help (...too old )

This is how you do it:

This is the codes:

This all relates to the 8V versions, but IIRC, it is also applicable to the 16V, if not, let me know and I can try and dig them up for you.

Just a follow up to my original post about an intermittant starting problem.
Shortly after, it happened again, so I did the usual quick checks, no joy, then I started to make and break all the accessable connectors then I found one over the gearbox that I'd never noticed before, did that one and eversince I've had no problem I think it could have been the CAS plug does that sound about right

whats the cas? my starter was good in the xantia 1.8 16v but has always been a bit lazy in the 16v.! never turned over as quick even with full bettery.

It is the TDC sensor which read from the flywheel ring gear.
The sensor itself is located under the HP pump iron plate and you should notice theh black screened cable running off under there.
