2008 Mk7 transit t 260 dash lights on and few other probs

Postby murr17 » Sun Sep 10, 2017 5:42 pm

Hi, got a new engine fitted to my transit 2008 T260 2.2 tdci, and has been driving great with no issues, then yesterday the traction control, abs, handbrake, engine management lights came on, and also the screen that tells how many miles are left in fuel has dashed lines instead of showing any numbers, these all showed up exact same time, van still starts and drives no problem apart,

any ideas where to look.

thanks

Certainly sounds like a duff battery.....If you have two batteries fitted, I'd be checking the front one..!

just had a brand new battery fitted aswell, never seen this before but must be a sensor somewhere i would think,weird how handbrake, abs, traction control and engine management all came on at same time along with mileage counter blanking out with lines, someone must have had this issue also before, van was fine for couple of days then lights came on,

If the battery is new, is there a charging issue :?:

Maybe a few voltage checks would pinpoint the fault :?

I had a similar problem on mine all the warning lights would come on then off no speedo or revs.
So I pulled the big panel below the steering wheel off at the obd port and traced the wire loom fro the gauges back to a multi-plug which I found to be not seated properly.
Now I have no issues.
