Thread: m & s lights flashing

Just had it happen on my D2, drove it back into the garage to look on here for the problem, went back out to it again, and all good again. Will look at getting it checkd over before the warranty runs out though.

Yep- XYZ Inhibitor. Mine was intermittent for months until a deep water crossing put it down and limp home came in. Upon replacement found a hair line crack in the housing- hence intermittent. If the Indicators for P, R D, 3 etc are not illuminated on the selector housing- that's a guarantee it's cactus.

Battery volts getting low usually when starting it all the ECUs
fuel pump etce on at the same time if battery old or not charged
fully it will turn over engine and possibly start but you will get
M&S lights next stage turn over but not start charge then discharge
test battery.

There should be 2 air con drains, 1 above the switch, and another above the front prop which drips onto the double carden joint. The cheapest start is checking battery voltage, and earth points. Mine played up after getting submerged in water, yes flooded the inside of the car including the transmission controller under the passenger seat. I would also check the gear stick itself, when in gear it might move slightly back and forth, if you try it, don't need to be driving, but select 1 gear at a time, and push lever forward and back, not trying to move into another gear, but watch the symbol on the dash. Mine will think its out of gear if I push it forward slightly, and the D will disappear, likewise with R & 3
Turn your car off and restart, it should reset for you, then just slow your gear selection down.

You can take the switches apart and save yourself a few hundred dollars if you have the time. I haven't done it but there is a good link to show you how.
