TIPS & HINTS
GENERAL
If communication is made with the vehicle, and then no communication is
experienced later or the communication is random, check battery voltage
and ensure it is at least 12.2 volts. This is particularly important on the
SCP vehicles, and all Transit models.
A new function has been introduced on the WDS which enables the dealer
to disable the additional key function. This is mainly used on fleet vehicles
and hire companies to stop unauthorized key’s being added. If a system
will not accept additional keys, it may be because this has been enabled.
Fleet mode (unable to add a key) can be removed by clearing
the PATS and DSM (diesel only) and reprogramming all keys.
When Programming on SCP Systems, turn IGNITION ON before
connecting TESTER or ADC110B to Diagnostic socket, then wait for the
dashboard lights to settle, then connect TESTER.
Intermittent start with fault code 12- replace faulty aerial pick up
If an incorrect key is used to try and start the engine, the correct key
must be inserted and left in the IGN position for at least 20 seconds, then
switched OFF then back ON before the vehicle starts.
Fault Code 0 is an ECU trouble code, if this is set and cannot be cleared,
then there is a problem with the ECU. Normally the only way to fix this is
to return the ECU for testing or replace it.
Fault Code 1000 is an ECU trouble code. This code can be set automati-
cally if the vehicle has not been driven. The code refers to the OBD drive
cycle. In some instances it is not possible to program new keys if this
code is set. Please follow the following instructions if the code cannot be
cleared or the keys cannot be programmed.
The OBD drive cycle code P1000 is the monitor code which monitors a
number of the OBD parameters. This code can be cleared by driving the
vehicle or running the engine for around 5 minutes at a steady RPM and
acceleration cycles. The smoother the driving condition the quicker the
code will be cleared.
If no keys are available, then the ECU can be disconnected for 30-45
minutes, which will also reset the system.
