DTC's

[sheep]

Hi Randall ty , no ive not taken offence i also should off added lol , yep i havent used the car since , it first illuminated 4-6 weeks ago so i plugged it in with the engine off and after using several different softwares got a return of no stored or pending codes , so i started the car and ran it with the OBD2 attached , up to normal running temp (approx 85) and then turned off and again while running and off i got no codes or concerns of any issues with the car , it was then only yesterday as i pulled up to my garage door that it started flashing so i quickly plugged it into the pc in the garage and managed to get the DTC's , the light had actually gone out again and everything was normal.

Once i got the codes i turned the car off and then just the ignition back on to be met with no mil light or stored or pending codes i didnt even do a clear so i am assuming that its an intermitant fault and that it could be either a dirty wire or a sensor is starting to go down the pan.

many thnx for your reply

"P0603 INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE KEEP ALIVE MEMORY (KAM) ERROR"

Does that mean the DME is failing? That might explain why the codes were clearing on their own.

Yimmy, you may have a very good point, by the way. Sean, pray hard that Yimmy is not right. I do not want to know what a new/salvaged DME would cost...

yep thnx yimmy , yep took a peek 2nd hand is in the area of £300+ some were asking £500+ , im getting under her tomorrow and pray for a dirty connection seen as shes total original 2000 and still has the 00 pressure cap im concerned

Okay i climbed underneath and had a look and inspected the wires to the sensors today , started it up no light and no codes sop i got her upto temp and checked again nothing so i went for a slow and steady drive again nothing even after blowing away an aston martin and returned home no codes or lights , so i assume it must of been a dirty connection.

Thnx for all advice & suggestions
