D2 Td5 Nanocom (or similar) - BCU and instruments

Posted similar a year ago but thread went dead and have lived with it since.

My 2003 D2 Td5 auto instruments do not display:
- which gear selected in the ODO lcd panel
- Green M and S lights
- glow plug warning light

All tests carried out indicate these functions are working OK (XYZ switch, gearbox mode button, current to glow plugs) so the instrument cluster just seems to think it is petrol manual rather than auto diesel. I have a Hawkeye Total diag tool that shows the BCU being programmed to auto box.

I have swapped instrument clusters with a known working one to rule out LED failure and after appropriate syncing it has the same issue.

It seems like a possible comms issue between the BCU and instrument cluster, but I have read up on Nanocom and it seems Nanocom has a module to allows the cluster to be configured correctly.

Questions to the D2 Nanocom owning community: Is this the case that the cluster can be configured and if so, anyone close to PE28 that I can visit, swap cash for time, and see if I can configure the cluster in my D2?

Otherweise, any experience of the same, including BCU and cluster not talking to each other and any other diag tools that m,ight reveal more? The Hawkeye Total does pretty much everything needed on a D2 but has nothing regarding the instruments (but everything for the BCU).

Thanks in advance for any info on this

Yes but AFAIK only nanocom can do it... though

did you try the "Autographics" menu in the BCU programming or you checked only the "Gearbox" section?

This was a comment on the htread I posted last year (which seemed to kill the thread).

Hawkeye Total does not have a module or menu option for Autographics sadly in any section including the BCU section. Not sure why as your previous comment did highlight that the Hawkeye classic does have this option. Having double and triple checked it, Hawkeye Total does not have this option.

Then find somebody with nanocom, it activates all the lights in the "instrument pack" menu unles it's some other issue

Thank you for the advice, which purely coincidently, I believe is what I was asking in the original post:

"Questions to the D2 Nanocom owning community: Is this the case that the cluster can be configured and if so, anyone close to PE28 that I can visit, swap cash for time, and see if I can configure the cluster in my D2?"

Or is there another diag device that will also do this (I have access to an Autel MaxiAP AP200 which seems very comprehensive but not plugged it into a D2 yet).

East of Englandshire!!

Ilford to Berwick on Tweed???

Without knowing closer! I could let you know who is possibly close to you??

On International Rescue??

PE28 is Peterborough, more or less.

Thank you

Don't wish to be pendantic or offend but did you read the original post?

"Questions to the D2 Nanocom owning community: Is this the case that the cluster can be configured and if so, anyone close to PE28 that I can visit, swap cash for time, and see if I can configure the cluster in my D2"

Hopefully the PE28 bit narrows it down a bit. Specifically to quite a large area I am prepared to drive through for the assistance needed.

PE28 is Huntingdon/Peterborough

Does that help at all

@D90mitch - Peterborough
@Animal88 - St Ives
@little1uk - Brampton

The only ones that said Diagnostic?

But! I don't think there on there anymore

But they may have changed their profile
