Engine management light and fault codes

[gvicker1]

T6 2019 150 with 108k. Just had the engine management light come up and had all these codes…..not had a quote yet but looks like a very expensive shopping list. Thinking it’s a new inlet, EGR, starter motor. I wasn’t expecting such an extensive list and don’t feel confident in tackling any of this myself. Any quick wins?

Battery.

So they cleared all the fault codes and only the inlet manifold position sensor one remained?
As Howzat said, they could be spurious historic codes from a bad battery etc.
Does the van start and run OK, and is the engine management dash light now off?

Funny you should say that because my battery went dead a few days ago because I left something plugged into the charger. Do you think they be false codes then?

Yea it’s stayed off since they reset. But thought maybe the inlet doesn’t throw the eml.

Run the van and fingers x'd it was a low voltage battery. If there is a 'real' problem the light will come back.

Thanks Howzart the EML has reappeared so guessing this means there is something in the above that needs some attention. It would be intresting to see what codes have reappeared.

Are you far away from M6 j23? Will read the codes FOC if you want to nip over sometime.

Thanks that’s really good of you to offer. I’m about 50 mins away. Be great help if you wouldn’t mind I’m really hoping the list isn’t quite as long

 

[Howzat]

Sure thing. I'll DM.

Little update Massive thanks to Howzat for meeting me and running diagnostics again after the EML reappeared. It looks like a new battery and maybe a new manifold. Don’t fancy trying the manifold myself so need to find a decent garage to get that done. Thanks again Howzart.
