Re: How Can I Get Fault Code From Ecu

yes flash code 12 is the start and end of the test so if there is no other flash codes in between it isn't flagging any faults up.

Re: How Can I Get Fault Code From Ecu

well if there is a fault anywhere your ecu should flag it up and put the engine management light on, so i imagine yeah everything should be ok.

Re: How Can I Get Fault Code From Ecu

Has your fault light actually came on? there might not be a managment fault. Get some fuel system cleaner in to flush all the crap out of the tank pump and injectors.

Re: How Can I Get Fault Code From Ecu

you can have rough running, misfire, poor starting etc and not have a engine management light come on, start checkin plugs, fuel pressure, compression, induction leaks (may need a garage unless you've got the kit)
