I did the diagnostic check on mw car using pin 1 of the thin under the steering wheel. The results I got were these

AYC - CODE 61 - Stop lamp switch system

ABS - CODE 33 - Steer sensor (st-n) system

Anyone know what this means, also when you do this test does the orange engine light flash continually normally???
I hope you can help I have been dreading whats wrong with my car

 

[Richard G]

all 3 lights (engine, ABS & AYC will flash continuously if there are no errors)

the manual says that both errors are down to the stop lamp switch has been on continuoulsy for 15 mins or more......

maybe a blown brake bulb????

 

[wellywells]

well you say about a blown bulb, I bought some clear led lights for my car!! So the brake light was loads of led's instead of one bulb, but I noticed today the bloody thing has been letting water in and had about an 1 1/2 inches of water sat in it!! And my boot got wet, could this be the problem??

So the two codes its showing are both to do with the rear brake light, is that correct??

 

[wellywells]

what is the steer sensor anyway??

it says the brake switch, so if i were you i'd try some new/original bulbs and see how it goes.......

steer sensor is (presumably) the one located at the steeing wheel for the ayc

I have put the standard lights and bulbs back now, not having water sat in my lights!! I thought you said the two codes I gave were both related to the brake lights

when you look at the manual it gives you a few errors, and diagrams to fault find the problem, but the stop lamp problem is shown on both of the errors, so i'd gues thats why you have ABS & AYC faults......

have u disconnected the battery to clear the faults after the new lights to see if the codes come back?

 

[wellywells]

No I disconnected it last night when the led lights were on but I hav not tried it with the standard lights back on yet, how long do I need to leave it disconnected for, last time i disconnected both postive and negative, is this right???

 

[Richard G]

just pull the neg off for a min then replace it and see what you get

 

[wellywells]

a min, I thought you had to leave it for hours, these lights are not on constantly by the way, they only come on after about 10 mins of driving or so

 

[Richard G]

not to clear faults, no. try it and see. if it doesnt solve it then you need to start looking at the other things the manual suggests which i can send you.

 

[wellywells]

If you could send me the manual that would be a mahoosive help!!!

 

[Richard G]

er, would take forever for the whole manual, but i can do the screens of the errors. or download the manual from evo.net

 

[wellywells]

I have just tried a couple of times and it keeps saying the web site is not responding. Why does it always happen when you wanna look at something
