Straight from the EL manual.

Key On Engine Off mode.

1- Ensure that engine is at operating temperature, the tranmission is in nuetral, and all accessories are off. (never mind the operating temp bit)

2- Connect an LED test lamp between terminal C (white/black wire) and terminal V (white/black wire) on the diagnosis connector.

3- Bridge terminal A (white/red wire) and terminal B (black/white wire) on the diagnosis connector and turn the ignition on

4- The hard codes will be displayed first. Disregard any initial flickering of the test lamp at the start of the self diagnosis as this is used only for dedicated test equipment.

5- If more than one hard code is set, the codes will be grouped numerically with each code seperated by a 4 second pause. The group will repeat once after the last code.

6- After the second display of the hard codes, a 6 second pause will precede the seperator code (single flash).

7- The memory codes will be displayed 6 seconds after the seperator code.

8- If more than one memory code is set, the codes will be grouped numerically with each code seperated by a 4 second pause. The group will repeat once after the last code.

9- After the memory codes have been displayed on XR6 models, check the inlet manifold valve control system and A/C clutch operation as follows:

a: With the ignition still in the on position, move the throttle from closed position to full throttle and back to closed position.

b: The inlet manifold valve control diaphragm should move to the operational position and the A/C clutch should engage.

c: Repeat step a, the the diaphragm and A/C clutch should de-activate.

10- With the ignition still in the on position and if code 111 is displayed, the operation of the engine cooling fans can be checked by shifting the tranmission from nuetral to another gear. Both fans should operate on low speed.

11- If it is neccassary to read the codes again, turn the ignition off for atleast 15 seconds and repeat the operation.

And here is a link to a helpful program to read the fault codes alot easier.

how do i go about checking the neutral switch i know where it is and did an ohm test whilst assistant was goin through gears but all dead is there a way to bypass? as the cluster shows me in park

Pretty sure if you just join the 2 wires that go to the nuetral switch together, this will complete the circuit.

did exactly that and got nothing... when i switch ign to on i can hear the fuel pump relay click on then off as normal but nothing else

when i turn the key to crank i can hear another relay click i believe is the acc relay as per normal but nothing else starter wont even think about turning

oh and the crazy beeping still hasnt stopped its sending me insane

What beeping is it?


I think you should turn the ign to on, and then try putting a positve straight from the battery to the starter terminal and just see if it starts.

high tone beep followed by low tone beep pause repeat

so...

BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BOOP

ill try direct linking the starter but so far ive never seen a spark

No spark still either hmmm.

I'd probably diagnose that smartlock is working properly, and,

Did any of the donor looms have anything resembling an alarm system?

nope all looms came out complete and intact this car is sending me insane but if i take anymore breaks from it, she'll never get done... i bet its something so small and stupid aswell

Your right, it will be something small been missed, although i've never heard that beeping from my car. Thats a different one.

I would try another BEM, and/or ECU. You could easily have a faulty.

haveyou checked that you get 12v to the coil when it was cranking????

for the no crank id check earths and check it same type of realy that was in your car to your bro's

havent checked the coil yet i first wanna get fuel and crank working at the same time then move to the next problem, i think all new relays is the go maybe some1 with an el can put up a pic of the relays and there codes

can any1 help with the relays??

I can give you a pic of the EF relays in my EB?

What do you mean by codes though?
