Dead!!??
« on: June 20, 2011, 08:02:12 am »
Morning guys!

This morning I've gone to my Car to go to work. Pressed my alarm on the key fob and nothings happening!? Looked at my display on the computer and all is dead! The key fob works as I drove it yesterday and the red light flashes when you click the buttons so the battery is ok. To enter the Car I had to do so manually. Tried to statr and everything was completely dead! Opened the bonnet and everything looked fine. Then when I manually locked the the alarm light on the drivers door flashed! I then pressed the open button on the key fob and it opened!? Ot in it and the computer was functional so, started it and it started! But the electro mechanical steering light, tps monitor light and traction lights were all on and staying on!? I let the car run for 5 mins and they then turned off!! Haven't driven to work as I wanna get it looked at but all seems fine now!

Anyone had a similar problem or know what it could be?

Thanks in advance,

Phil

The three lights will clear when you start driving once it self tests.
