XYZ ??? Limp M&S

[jhk07]

M&S blink. Red Drive blinks. I only Have "D" gear, and reverse. Scanguage reads 14+.

Starts every time, so not CKPS. COLD OUT


Sooo XYZ ?????????? Searching time is limited, at work. my D2

Your gonna need to get the codes out of it .

 

[jhk07]

Scan Gauge just reads engine codes. I did try to scan for codes, nothing

Theres something in the trans . I think if it was the temp sensor out in the cooler you would have the temp light on also . That was pretty common.

Probably the XYZ switch.

Probably the XYZ switch.

I get the M & S flashing once in a while also - Usually just have to restart and it goes away - but...

What is the XYZ switch and how much work is it to replace? I am pulling the Engine soon anyway.

The flashing M&S lights are most commonly caused by a weak battery or a poor connection at the battery. The XZY switch is an electrical switch on the side of the transmission that signals what gear is selected in the transmission (PRND321). Its three bolts IIRC , but can sometimes be tricky to adjust. Usually they require no adjustment.

ok thanks.

My M&S flashed for 3 or 4 days after starting mine up for the first time in months. Once the battery got stronger it stopped completely and hasn't come back

 

[jhk07]

it finally quit. Probably cold weather related.

Does it store a fault when that happens ? Remember what one if so ? I was unaware .

I can't recall if it always does, but my guess would be yes since the lights are flashing. Its probably a gear selector fault. Even when the battery causes this, doesn't it set a low voltage fault?

I went through the same thing with the MS flashing and then the D2 would not start at all. Turns out it was the NEG cable being loose, even though the bolt was tight. Crimped the fitting and tightened it down. Cranked on the first try. Rover UP!!!

It can be low battery voltage, bad alternator-or failing alternator, or it can be water ingress to the harness next to the transmission.

I remember what your talking about now . I think I forgot more than I remember about Disco's .

 

[ptschram]

Typically, it will throw all manner of crazy DTCs, depending upon the specific failure mode.

 

[discostew]

Ya I think I just quit running them down cause it seems like you don't even have to clear them .

Here's something on the topic I posted last week on LRF.
