    m and s codes

    so ive had my m and s lights come on when I first start my car . this is all the time that i start the car . constantly in the morning . I start then turn off then start and repeat that about 10 times and it usually goes . it doesnt come on < hardly > when I am driving . I have been told numerous things and have replaced batteries , alternator , starter , battery clamps trans ecu < from a really dodgy mechanic > and more . I am now being told that it is probably < big probably > the inhibitor switch . Has anyone had this problem and if so what did you do .This is driving me nuts . It doesnt always go into limp mode , when the lights are on . It can drive perfectly fine when they are on . please help

    It's usually either the battery or the inhibitor switch.

    Type "m & s" site:aulro.com into Google & it'll will bring up a heap of threads on here.


    Make sure the battery is in top condition before starting any diagnosis.

    Plenty of info on this issue - do a thread search, grab a cuppa and start reading......

    also, you might want to do the air con drain mod - also do a search on this.

    Id look it up for you but im at work and shouldnt really be on here

    some people have pulled appart the inhibitor, cleaned and re-assembled with success.

    Mine does it occasionally, but up until recently I had the air con dripping onto it constantly. I just swich off the ign, lock, unlock the doors and restart. This usually clears the M+S lights.

    cheers

    If you know one end of a spanner to another, have a crack at pulling it appart your self.

    As for the battery, make sure your terminals are nice an tight and the earth is good.

    A mechanic can do all this for you, but of course it will cost plenty. Why not have a crack at it yourself. If you werent a mechanic before buying a disco.....you soon will be.
