General: 850: - MIL codes?

Shortstuff · Apr 24th, 2010, 20:32

after following the idiots guide to making a flash reader

I had the following result.

a combination of 232 then it stopped so i ran the test again and got 212 I tried 2 more time and got the same result.

What do these 2 codes mean? And is there a list somewhere of other codes for future reference?

Thanx in advance I've received lots of help already but I've just got this last kink to iron out

Remove the codes and see what comes back...

Thanx for that That shows its the front O2 sensor. Am i right in saying once i change it the light will cancel itself? And does anyone know the best place to get the part?

You will still need to clear the DTC, even after replacing the sensor. As Jod said I would clear the code(s) now prior to replacing anything to see which, if any, re-occur.

Regarding replacement, it can only be a Genuine Bosch item. The cheap aftermarket ones on eBay are pants.

thats even better as the guy i brought it off said he'd had the o2 sensor changed but the mechanic didn't have the tool to reset the light.

I wasn't sure he was right as with my Primera the light always cancelled once the fault was fixed.

Is there a way to cancel the light using the same flash set i used to get the code?

It is possable to remove the DTC's with the codereader you have made but i suggest the best way, provided you have the radio code is to disconnect the battery overnight....

I'll give that a try then

I'm sure having fitted my Kenwood HU I wont have any problems there :-)

Shortstuff · Apr 26th, 2010, 06:31

I tried disconnecting the battery last night and its not cleared the light.

Does anyone in the Whitby area have a obd2 reader i could borrow?

OBDII code reader won't help you, you need to follow exactly the reset procedure using the LED code reader:

What codes have come back?.....
It is likely that returning codes indicate a permanent fault...

As Chris has indicated code removal, indicated by a fuel pump restart will prove that returning codes are permanent....
