Well that is the very thing.... Mine got up to 105C in traffic this evening and before it tickled up to 106C the traffic started to move and the temperatures then started to fall again.... I think the fans worked a year ago when I was sat in standing traffic on the M25, but since then I just don't know whether the fan is fuckered or what this error code is about! You know what I should do, the minute I tackle a problem on the car.... stop reading on here - would save me a whole load of grief!

Glad you got it working fella - bet you were relieved! Trevor - I suspect you're right about the AFR not working due to your car being a turbo

Darryl

Bought a Scangauge but can't get the AFR to work. Do you think that's because it's a turbo? Tried different commands off the website but no luck so far.

Trevor

AFR code is not correct for VXT ecu. MAP also is not working.

Yep that's the two things that I wanted it for and neither work at the moment. Anyone got a solution? Trevor.

Trevor.

Yep - don't worry about it

The main 2 I use are the Air Inlet Temp and BHP. Interesting to see how quickly the air inlet temp rises when you boot it (with the standard IC)

Also surprising to see how much BHP you use even for mild accelaration in a tubby - I don't know how you N/A boys and girls manage

[Trevsked]

So does that mean we don't know the codes or are these two functions not available on the scangauge for a VXT? In the meantime I have ordered a VI Performance Monitor to see if I have more luck with that and if I prefer it then will sell the Scangauge. Trevor.

How exactly are these codes discovered? Is there a list of them somewhere, or has someone figured them out themselves?

[Trevsked]

You can print them off from the Scangauge website. Trevor

[Cookies220]

Yep Codes

I'm sure new ones must be discovered, but I've had no luck finding new ones.

Basically there are two sets of codes as you call them. There is a standard set which all cars need to conform too (if the codes are relevant of course). I think this is a pretty complete list: http://en.wikipedia....iki/OBD-II_PIDs So if a engine is a 4 in line there is only 1 bank, so all codes for bank 2 and on won't work. But manufacturers also add a lot of specific codes which aren't published but mainly used for their own diagnosis equipment. Sometimes you can find some specific information for a specific ECU, but the chance is high it will not work on a different car/ecu (see the Prius codes on the scangauge website). For the z22se I managed to find a couple: http://www.verboom.n...016/xgauge.html But as the turbo uses a different ECU chances are high the z22se specific codes will not work on the turbo. Mark

Yep Codes

I was referring to the codes that turn the fan on and off. I don't see those codes on any official website (so far). So where did they come from?

Quick question.... Where does the wiring for the rad fan come/go? Just wondering if there is a chance I have unplugged the radiator fan in my tinkering in the bonnet at somepoint! I had a look on the TIS and it seems to run just between the radiator mount and the screen washer bottle.... Correct?

Update: Just been out with the voltage tester and found resistance across the fan connector. So I had a wiggle with the connection points on the two sockets, pulled out and refitted both 25Amp fuses and wiggled all the relays. Went and switched on the engine reused the codes and hey presto fan working. (following some of the tips on here: http://www.vx220.org...ost__p__1031045 - beautiful google search engine)


I have also come to the decision that I have never heard the fan in all my ownership.... You guys are right it is bloody noticeable. I am now one happy bunny.

It's a good feeling when the fan comes on (for the first time) isn't it ! Sounds a bit like you've got an engine in the front all of a sudden !

Either that or the missus has left her vibrator on the passenger floor and it has started up all on it's own!

Riiiiiight, the missus. OK....
