    Unhappy Red light on A.C.E.

    The other day i was stoped at the lights and felt the car rocking around ., it was blowing a gail outside so i thought that must have been it though it never rocked like that in the wind before . Then , today again stoped at the lights the engine nearly stalled and the A.C.E. red light started flashing and the chime was sounding . As i was in trafic and not far from home i kept going home . As i pulled in the drive the light stoped flashing and stayed on and red .
    I hooked up the nanocon and it is showing the faults; 04-02 Direction control vavle 2 , current out of range
    circut falt 30
    06-01 Hydraulic pressure too low

    I have checked for leaks and looked for anything obvious but so far nothing. Have any of you had something similar?
    Any ideas on a fix?

    Thanks in advance , i would very much like to get this sorted .
    Cheers , Bill.

    Can the Nanocom operate the direction control valves to test them? Excepting for the pressure too low fault, I would suspect a faulty coil on the particular direction control valve. With the electrical connector unplugged from the valve block the resistance of the coils can be checked, assuming you have access to the wiring diagram and a multi-meter. It could simply be a bad electrical connection at the valve block.

    my one started flashing red yesterday.
    i drove it home, popped the hood and there was no fluid in the resevoir.
    woke up this morning to top it up, popped the hood and it was full.
    drove down the street, red light starts flashing again so i stopped the car, popped the hood while engine was still running.. empty again.

    turned the engine off and saw it filling up veeery slowly,

    what going on???? anyone??

    wow. after a bit of searching, im starting to think that noone around here has actually replaced the front ACE actuator.

    or is there a fix for the leak without replacing???
