Yes I know this is another post re amber tc & hdc lamps and I'm really sorry but please bear with me as I have searched this forum time and time again and I have found it to be brilliant but I cannot find a answer to this problem and now I'm totally stumped.
The problem as you will have guessed by now is that the amber tc and hdc lights come on and stay on until I switch the engine off, also I have noticed that the rev counter, speedo, fuel and temp gauges stop working for a second or two then function as normal when the tc & hdc amber lights come on. So far I have replaced the G sensor, throttle position sensor, brake light switch, ignition switch and abs pump/modulator, I have also removed the instrument cluster and cleaned all the connections with electrical contact cleaner but still the problem reappears after a period of about 2 weeks. I have plugged in my Hakweye in the past and the following codes were shown, 5E12 CAN Interface, EGS Timeout and 5E16 CAN Interface, Dashboard Instrumentati-[...] on Timeout, yet today only the 5E12 code was showing. I know timeouts are often a bad connection at either end of the bus however I have checked, cleaned and rechecked every possible connection I can. Any help or ideas will be very much appreciated as I am totally stumped
