Hi All,

Hope you’re all having a good weekend

UPDATES IN RED

I’m trying to get my car into top shape electrically after the alternator died 2 weeks ago and am looking to remove the gremlins I’ve got/ discovered as a result of this. OK so battery also died today as a result of the alternator failure I believe so replaced this and now majority of faults have gone

I have researched here and on the web but not found the right answers, at least I don’t think I have… So hopefully you’ll be able to help.

Basically I have some fault codes and some inoperable parts… I’ll start with the inoperable parts…

Driver’s Seat and Mirrors: Solved with new battery

Basically, nothing works on the Driver’s side including mirrors but no fault codes. Passenger seat works no problem. I’ve checked various fuses in the CJB. Fuse nos. 33 and 54 spring to mind but I’ve checked a couple of others as well.

Therefore I’m assuming either the main connector under the seat has a loose contact but more likely the Memory Module is knackered. So looking to get part no. YWC 500800 replaced.

Would appreciate any thoughts on what else to check…

SatNav not working: Still ongoing, see below

Again no error codes but the SatNav doesn’t work as it should I think. Really here I think it’s the Nav computer/ DVD Player as I have tried various DVDs old, new and backups and nothing registered or works. See photo below:

Solved. Should have followed Occam's Razor theory... Decided to check if the speakers were reconnected when the headlinig was refurbished. Answer is a big NO. Spoke to garage they will fix at no cost

All solved after new battery installed

B1B55-46(2f) which is the rain sensor module. Not sure of the exact problem but I think best to replace the unit and hope that solves it… Unless of course anyone can shed more light on the fault code and its meaning…

B1B56-87(2 is a fault code for the sliding roof module. Everything seems to be working. Therefore I suspect I need to cycle through a whole open/ close and hold the close button then this should disappear as I’ve read that the sensor for trapped fingers etc. isn’t functional and needs resetting when the battery is disconnected or completely drained. I’ll give this a try but would appreciate any other advice.

Finally I have at least 3 fault codes for “local interconnect network bus circuit 1 [EG: 1/+B1A98-01(2E)] which really have me confused. Any help here would be great.

Hi

YIB500023 and YIB500070 have been superceded to same number LR018252 but please sit down first as it is around £3000.00 inc. Vat. from L/R so I think I would look elsewhere.

And that's Exchange as well.

Cheers

Thanks Col,

Just fell off the chair I was sitting on.... GBP3,000?? I found this and others are similarly ppriced:

Used of course but I really see no benefit in getting new for a 10 year old vehicle.

Have you tried a clening disc in the navigation drive?

The navigation software (Multi Media Module) is updated with the navigation DVD. The touchscreen software itself, can be flashed with a suitable diagnostic tool.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

HI LfW

I have in the past. I presume you mean something like this?

I have tried but makes no difference.

From what I can tell I can eject and insert a disc but I can't actually here it 'spinning up' to load like you do in a laptop or PC which lends me to think the drive is knackered

Yes, that sort of thing.

Rather than spending money on replacing the drive, you might like to consider this: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic120453.html  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

LfW,

Great article I've posted some questions to see if it'll work as the biggest problem right now is that I need a screen with Middle East maps otherwise it;s a no go from the start....

I'll keep you informed.

Thanks again for the heads up

Anybody got any ideas on the other errors?

Thanks

Would also be good if loaded with the latest maps, since it can't be updated unless fitted to the correct vehicle.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Yeah, I'm going to task my garage with talking to scrappies, nit that there are many and see what they come back with...

Fingers crossed

Got some feedback from Patrick At GAP and unfortunately I need a Middle Eastern coded unit for the maps... So unless I find one locally this'll be a no go
