Good evening
If any one can shed some light on the problem i am having it would be much appreciated!
I have done a search and although there are a few posts with some similarities my problem differs slightly.
I had the det senor changed as fault code 3,4 appeared. I put a brand new sensor in. I then cleared the ecu memory so it showed 5,5.
I took the car for a drive and retested 3,4 showed again. I once again cleared it to show 5,5 and redrove the car again fault code3,4.
This time i pulled the keys out of the ignition and then immediately put them back in and turned the ignition till the check engine light came on, i then did another fault code check but this time it came back clear.(THIS IS WHAT DIFFERS FROM ALL OF THE POSTS I SEARCHED)
Obviously this time i had not disconnected the battery to clear the codes stored yet just by taking the key out it cleared them is this normal? I was under the understanding that once the code is stored unless the battery is disconnected or using someother method to clear the codes the fault code will be stored.
After this i drove the car home and re did the fault code check again 3,4.
I am totally perplexed.
The guy that did the work checked all the wiring as has been suggested in other posts.
Any help is much appreciated.
