Gidday to you all. I realise that my enquiry is not simple, but quite complicated. I will try to explain.
When I turned on the ignition I got 4 different numbers cycling through the dashboard on right hand side. I believed they were error codes. They are :- 13 (Intake Air Pressure), 15 (Throttle Position sensor), 21 (Water Temperature Sensor), and 41 (Lean Angle Sensor). I used the instructions that I had gleaned from other posts to clear these codes - I got through to the "diA6" screen OK, then pressed SELECT till I got 62 in the upper screen. Then I switched ignition off, then on.
Error codes still there. So I went through the sequence again, and this time held SELECT and RESET down while I switched off and then on. All 4 error codes still there. The instructions in my Workshop Manual are not clear about just how to do these final steps. It is the typical thing of a Guru writing instructions on how to do something, but only gurus can understand - not dummies.
The problems are compounded by my not knowing if these error codes are from the major crash 4 years ago, or from my just completed rebuild. Also the ECU is not the original one for the engine, but a second hand unit from another 2001 FJR. The dashboard is not original for this motor, but also a second hand unit. The reason for the 41 code (Lean Angle Sensor malfunction or shorted) could be from the damage done to it from 4 years ago when a piece of steel sliced through the belly of the LAS, and jammed there - possibly shorting it out. I bought the only 2001 LAS I could find on the web, and when it finally arrived from America, it was not a LAS, but an Atmospheric Air Pressure Sensor. They had grabbed the wrong part off the shelf. I then bought a LAS from a 2003 FJR, but it has a different female plug connector. So I had to design and 3D print an adaptor to go from my male connector to the 2003 female connector. I have now way at the moment to check whether this adaptor is doing the job correctly.
So my problem is that I cannot get the error codes out of the system, and the engine will not start. Can someone please explain how a dummy like me can actually follow precise instructions on how to delete the codes. Are the smaller numbers in the bottom of the screen the ones I need to take notice of? Do I use 61 or 62 to clear the codes.
Please help.
Regards,
Alan
