hi guys - cant mot or tax it as warning light on. got rid of the light last year but same garage has plugged in diagnostics and says the Ecu / computer is the issue now.

don't want to go to honda as be very pricey. anyone know of any specialists in Nottingham Derbyshire lincs Leicestershire area please ??

Thanks

 

You can use torque on your phone and a wireless OBD2 dongle

Or a simple code reader off eBay for c£10

I have both the above and am in Gedling

 

The check engine light/MIL ? Well what code is it setting? Almost never is it actually the ECU that is the issue.

 

HI nottm s2 thanks for this - great ti know another local owner ,nice !

update then - local garage has given fault code report
its PCM internal ciruit failure (P1607)

SO they say need poss new ecu o/ specialist

ive called a place and he says he needs ECU part number. is it accessible / easy to get at ? im out of comfort zone on this stuff ....

 

ah ok

code P1607
PCM internal circuit failure

thanks

 

There is a thread here but no resolution

Have you cleared and it comes back?

The ECU is next to passenger left foot. I believe the trim pops off
It's not common but I reckon you could get a used ECU, issue is your keys might not work then.. hmm

I have seen mobile specialists but never used one

 

Usually first step with that code I would take is to make sure all grounds and inputs/wiring to the ECU are good and make sure there are no other codes coming up. For example, on many toyotas, a short in the secondary O2 sensor can cause an ECU fault code to pop up. Go ahead and clear the code though and see if it returns first.

 

thanks

unable to clear the code via diagnostic plug in

 

thanks

we couldnt get the code cleared
only one code PCM internal failure p1607

if i can pop off trim to get to it then perhaps can check wiring etc good ?

any ideas appreciated - yes once ECU out maybe key issue also or key reset

 

I'd also check for water ingress too in the passenger foot area.
Has it had an O2 sensor in the last few years? Quite possibly could be this if it's been sat SORN and it's all sooty. Might have gone bad...
