Few Strange Faults

Post by gidged500 »

I cracked up my turbo yesterday and a few things happened.
Drove It up the road and the interior light kept flashing on and off ?
EML Light kept flickering on and off
Lastly the Transmission light came on

Now when i turned off the cav the battery was completley dead. no life in it at all. Now im pretty certain its the battery.
Has anyone else had symptoms like this ?

Thanks

try charging the battery first. but ive had flat batteries and the things you said never happened, the transmission light only comes on when the 4x4 is not working, as for the eml, the ecu could be picking up some intermittant sensor fault, bur as saiid charge the battery and run it again to see if the same faults happen again, mines always the same when its been laiid up for the winter, always has a fault or two, i dont think cav turbo like being laid up in the garage, LOL.

If not, do a paperclip test and report back with your findings:
