Hello - would anybody know where the
symbol ((!)) - an apopstrophe in a circle - is described ? I can't find this in any if the AU1 manuals I own. |

howdy, welcome to the forums!

That's an exclamation mark by the way...and in an EL it means BRAKE FAILURE...I'm guessing its the same for the AU's.
phong =P~

What lagmaster said. An encircled P is the handbrake...exclamation mark is brake failure. I would suggest not to drive if you have brake failure...cause it may not stop.

After a lengthy saga, I got to the bottom
of this today. I installed a new 12A650MC (that's an ecu in plain english) and she goes. The bloke in Ford told me someone had already replaced the original with a later model modified ecu. That's lasted 6 years. My 98 AU had a 2000 model modified ecu. Why ? I don't know. Is that normal ? I don't know but when they fail they seem hard to diagnose without a kit of some sort. Ended up replacing ignition switch, coil, plugs. So if anyone wants to buy faulty BE modified to be a MC they can have it for $100. Otherwise I will pull it apart and see if I can fix it. |

what i can't understand is that AU Falcon ECU's can be uploaded with new data from the series II & III. Just like on the BA's ford are able to upload new software on a ford service for better fuel economy, emissions etc.
So did they charge you $800 for an ECU or just $100 for the reprogramming.

The KMs are held in the Inst Cluster, not the ECU
