Thread: Nanocom error

AFAIK this is usually the Throttle Position Sensor(TPS) or in old language the accelerator, or the wiring loom that runs to it. Check for chafing .

Weather related? I had the same thing about 2 weeks ago after a heap of rain - I have the leaky windscreen issue and I noticed that the stream of water is heading towards the right area to put a bit of water in or near the TPS.

I see you are down the road, so you have had a heap o rain in the last few weeks too.

Thanks guys, I'll start there.
Checking faults does not show up a TPS fault though.

Is it logging an overboosting fault?, when you as sails along until it drops down a gear, do you mean you put your foot down to make it drop down or does it do it by itself on a flat road ?.you may have gone too far with shortening the actuator rod

I helped a friend once to diagnose a low engine power issue and the only fault logged was driver demand related so saved a data log after a long drive to see the TPS readings and all was OK... I have no logical explanation but after few hours of head scratching and various tests the conclusion was that the fuel pump's HP stage was gone and it worked only on LP... new pump fitted and all was good again, power restored, no codes... strange but happened so if you have a proper gauge fit it instead the FT sensor in the FPR and see the pressure to rule this out

Reading up on similar problems and over boosting is certainly happening (still) I am winding it back step by step.

It is happening on 'cruise control' so it is not dependent on the throttle being moved so I'll hope it may be boost related.

Today I looked further, like to the next page of faults an current was 'HIGHSPEED CRANK', I don't know what that one is all about and I can find no information about it.

So, wiser ones out there HELP, please, there have been mentions of problem '15.2' in relation to the crank problem but mine is '17.2' and I presume it may be slightly different.

Can they both be related to the over shortening of the waste gate rod? If it stops raining I'll sort that tomorrow!

Cheers and thanks in advance.

The "high speed crank" one is about the crankshaft sensor signal, IMO it has nothing to do with the wastegate

It is happening on 'cruise control' so it is not dependent on the throttle being moved so I'll hope it may be boost related.

The cruise control will go flat out if you lose speed on a hill .
On my car this can cause unlock of the Torque converter and a simultaneous quick rise in EGTs , and probably boost so if it happens under those conditions it is feasible that you are going into overboost if the wastegate rod is wound in.
