Auto Power/snow Switch Flashes On Power More Than Other Times...

[KrazyKong]

Do I have a fault in my system? Sometimes the orange light in the Power/Snow switch flashes more times than others. My car has always flashed it about 3/4 each time I turn it on, but lately it's been flashing alot more. Not always though, but I'm noticing it lately. Nothing seems to be wrong in the car otherwise though

2 Start the engine the power light will go out after 2 seconds

3 Turn the ignition off

4 Move the selector to Drive (you may have to use the push

button release)

5 Overdrive off

6 Wait 2 seconds, and turn the ignition on

7 Wait 2 seconds and move the selector to 2

8 Overdrive on

Auto transmission diagnostics codes

The error codes are flashed out using the Power light on the

dashboard (R32) or the Power/Snow button (R33). The sequence

starts with one long flash. If everything is OK, this will be

followed by ten short flashes.

Errors are indicated by a long flash in the sequence of short flashes.

1st flash longer Revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

2nd flash longer Speed sensor shorted or disconnected

3rd flash longer Throttle sensor shorted or disconnected

4th flash longer Shift solenoid A shorted or disconnected

5th flash longer Shift solenoid B shorted or disconnected

6th flash longer Overrun clutch solenoid shorted or disconnected

7th flash longer Lockup solenoid shorted or disconnected

8th flash longer Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or

the control unit power source is damaged

9th flash longer Engine revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

10th flash longer Line pressure solenoid shorted or disconnected

All flashes the same with no long start flash means Battery voltage low

or has been recently disconnected or control unit has just

been reconnected

Now mine is flashing when I turn the car on, not when I'm putting into a test mode. But I wonder if this information is still relevant. Will print it out and have it with me next time I start the car.

Cheers, yeah ill give it a go and let you know.....it was after i f**ked around with the stereo in my car and the car felt like it was dragging ass and won't go into 3rd or 4th at all (pretty much as soon as i finished with the stereo) only drives in second and if i get to about 80km/hr the revs are at 3000rpm and if i let the accelerator go revs drop to 1000rpm or sometimes lower...checked all the fuses, replaced them (non were damaged, but just as a precaution and went through all the fuses in the engine bay and connections with contact cleaner (no difference).

cheers

Worked a treat for me mate...the 3rd flash and 5th flash were longer so TPS is rooted and the Shift solenoid B is gone...cheers heaps for the post and hope it all works out..
