I had a problem where the USB to Serial adapter got got and stopped working. Then we had the weird data readings and the next time I went to use the cable on the desktop it kept crashing EAS Unlock when plugging it in, or trying to connect with it plugged in, followed by the bleeping whenever...

I fear rogue data may have been sent to the ECU then as I cannot rule out not exiting EAS Unlock before turning the ignition off. I've got to concentrate on the house move now, so it'll be a week or two before I have the time to look at the sadist again. Still I'll have all my toys in one...

Because They love making boxes of tricks to control things for fun. Me, I just want to finish one of my many many projects for once...

I do have a detail OCD.... We have discussed said Relay before, I have seen mention of it in some things I read though. Will have to take a look

Meanwhile my electrically minded chums are hatching plots to create a standalone EAS controller independent of the BECM and Drive Pack...I fully expect an argument to break out between them regarding the use of Ardiuno or a.n.other microcontroller :rolleyes:

Oh joy, my new cable and the FTDI adapter are both cooked then. The error message and beeps now hapoend when the OBD2 cable is connected to the socket with nothing else attached :confused: yay Could anything going on in the socket, rather than the cable cause this? Or for that matter anything...

Tried all sorts with the cable and got no where, the Desktop got very unhappy about being outside! When the EAS Unlock OBD2 cable is connected to the car you get three bleeps (normal) and then it displays 'Do not exceed 35mph' It only displays that when the cable is connected, the rest of the...

I have no more time to work on it now before getting on with moving which was this pile's sole purpose. Probably going to scrap it once I have the move out of the way as I am done trying to get it working

Moot point now even the desktop won't run, EAS Unlock keeps locking up before I even get to the point of plugging the cable in, rebooted the desktop only for it to refuse to restart due to all the fans not working. I have sorely tempted to just take a match to the lot of it right now

Indeed on both counts USB to Serial definately dead, so just trying to set up the desk top in the car...

Ok, will have a closer look at the connectors on the drivers side first Yeah, we were getting 'good idle' when testing, going to see if I can get my laptop to plug in again with the adapter just in case there was something spurious going on, otherwise it will be a drag the desktop out there...

I'm not getting any faults being registered on the dash, and at the weekend while we had it hooked up up to the Desktop (the Serial to USB adapter supplied with my EAS OBD2 cable packed up!) no faults were being logged when it was doing exactly the same thing on the two runs we went through of...

This is what I mean by extended height:

Yup, absolutely clean as a whistle on both. The sequence of events goes like this: EAS Valve and Pump pack off car, system completely depressurised. Refit and plumb EAS Valve and Pump Pack. Open driver's door start engine, leave door open to allow reservoir to fill. When pump stops running...

In my sideline e-mail conversation with my more electrically savy than I mates we have a bit of a 'ringer' someone with a LOT of first hand knowledge of things LR from a bit higher up the food chain than the dealership; he sadly lives up on Skye these days so is somewhat reliant on my...

Well they were all good :/

These ones then? They're pristine too if it is them

Yeah...realised that the ones I was thinking of are the connectors for the height sensors having removed the arch liner on the nearside now....doh

Ohhh, those ones! I remember seeing them when I had the arch liners out... Right will go take a look

While looking at the earth on the OS I also found more work for myself... The heater matrix has a weap and is splashing drops of pink coolant onto the transmission tunnel carpet :( The usual reason for heater matrices to spring a leak is corrosion due to a poor earth...
