Sensor - Short Curcit (diagnostic)

[chicken_arse_legs]

Hi everyone watching,

As you can see by my enthusiasm, I

[NikpV]

maf probably u/s for a start whether damage done at the time or after :) whats it like on a hill ?

 

fuse blowing should prevent wiring burning out - thats their job !

 

glowplug light often brought up by brake pedal switch malfunction - cheap self repair may be a start

Kill your mate :)

[MrT]

I would suggest clearing the fault codes then reading them again. Most of those were caused by your mates incompetence and should not come back unless a real fault exists. It could be that the "shorts" have locked up the ECU rather than damaging the sensor inputs, so a total reset by disconnecting the battery for a while could reset it.

 

It could be that a short remains where you friend was fiddling so recheck what he did and remove any wires he added. He may have connected the power to a sensor rather than a power lead.

 

I cannot see how anyone wiring up a stereo (the wires are there in the dash) can connect to a MAF.

id get him to pay for any damage!!

 

sounds like MAF is u/s..as for the rest..he sounds worse than me! :)

[NikpV]

he sounds worse than me! :(

 

 

bit too extreme I think :) :(

[mumof4]

bit too extreme I think :D :D

 

 

(just thought id whack this in! :) )

 

well..i know i wouldnt plug anything into the maf to see which is pos or neg.....id come on here and ask :( :( ....

[Smilge]

Hopefully, with the Fuse blowing it will not have damaged the ECU ...from the list of shorts it appears that you are looking at the Analogue input signal conditioner rather than the switched input conditioner.

 

Like Mr T mentioned ..you may need to hard reset the ECU rather than clear the fault codes by disconnecting the battery and hopefully this will sort it. If not, then its looking expensive. There will be in built protection within the computer but I would suggest that you may have damaged the A/D converter which will cause your fault light.

true - sorry OP :) (mumof4 :D getting too smart )

[mumof4]

one point when disconnecting the battery..if you have got the stereo working by some small chance...

 

 

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE KEY CODE!!!!!!!!

 

 

just thought id get that in...in case you didnt know already..or for future ref.. :D

:D whats it like on a hill ?

 

 

Is poor performance on hills a symptom of a bad MAF?

 

I only ask because our diesel Mondeo is very bad at hill starts (no power, etc)......and also gives poor MPG

certainly when our maf was starting to fail it was a dog accelerating up a hill :D

That fast Nik??wow...ours had to drop to second or first...just to shudder up...

 

flies up there now :D

[chicken_arse_legs]

OK, thank you everyone for your response!

 

Interesting responses indeed, i'am a peaceful guy so I forgive and forget and he is more skint than me!

 

I really don't think its the MAF because it wasn't connected at the time and its fine on the hills and it gives the same mpg as before. Still get about 100mile for

[mumof4]

I think most peeps on here say disconnect it for a min of 30 mins..

[chicken_arse_legs]

OK i know i haven't replied for a while, sorry about that guys

 

I have figured it out, while someone else did the ECU is partly damaged.

the dude said that by making a loop at the MAF, it directly connected to the ECU.

HE said i lucky that my car still running now i have to find a breaker for a new ECU.

 

 

*Does anyone have a breaker up north cause london aint going to have any deisel galaxy.

 

*Can anyone tell me wether a 115bhp ecu will be campatible with my 90bhp galaxy (Preg) just incase i cant find a 90bhp?

[Guest gooner52]

breakers in erith in kent,that breaks them

let me know if you want the number

[chicken_arse_legs]

Yo Gooner52 you would be doing me a very big favour by giving me the digits to that breakers.

 

Does anyone know wether i can put 115bh ECU into my 90BHP engine?

[chicken_arse_legs]

Ok rang up fords they go that you can't put a 115bhp ECM into a 90BHP galaxy. You have to put the one thats for the car.

 

 

gooner52 any chance you can give me the number for the breaker?private message me if you want! il pm you in min.

 

 

Thanks for all the people on this topic that helped me couldn't of done it without you, i would like to mention my mum, my agent, the director lol

 

just messing!
