Limphome mode and error messages after off roading
Hi,
I had 2 error messages come on after washing down my inner wheel arches after a spot of off roading ( really just a few puddles on a farmers track). Anyway the car was fine after the off roading but after I cleaned down the inner arches with a low pressure stream from a garden hose the car went into ‘limphome’ slow driving mode for a few minutes/miles and gave an error message for anti skid and an error message for brakes. This happened twice so I removed the wheels and got under the car and cleaned the sensors and rings with a low pressure garden hose stream whilst turning the shafts. Still no improvement after a drive. So I used the brakes heavily a few times (70mph down to 20mph) and that seemed to get rid of the error messages. But the messages came back after a few miles. But I no longer get the ‘limphome’ slow driving when I start driving the car in the morning. My question is do the error messages get erased automatically if the problem is sorted – or do they have to be erased with a diagnostics software too. Cheers Tony |
