Error code 245 - Power Supply & POD Not shutting down

[pennpromo]

Shep, as ever thank you very much, off to Maplin tomorrow, inlet manifold off, fit diode.

[sean j g]

had the same issue but after lee telling me the same i fitted this myself after fitting a new alternator and has been perfect since good luck

Thread resurrection!

Having similar issues with my tam atm. Not getting the fram fault code but everything else (heater, temp sensor, oil sensor, other fault etc) and then freezes all dash readings at whatever level they were at. This being intermittent I'm guessing relays (also when I looked there is a black relay in the centre which h looks abit damaged and when touched the 1st time it turned the dash off, but hasn't done again)

Just trying to find the layout of the relays and fuses though, I can find the picture on the sagaris page but not the list of what's what of anyone can help?

I think this is commonly to do with a missing/blown diode on the alternator. Is the alternator hot when not in use?

[padc1]

Had this happen last year
sounds like a new alternator im afaid

[Rib]

It's not warm when not in use and battery holds its charge. I also don't get the power fault like most just things about heater, temps etc and all the sensors are froze at a certain point.

I've just disconnected the alternator all together and it still does it even before I start the engine so I really doubt mine is down to that but I could be wrong.

A couple more points.

Whether it makes much difference, it has an ls conversion. But it's been working fine up to now. It started intermittently but now is all the time.

I turn the ignition on, it does the dance and then I get several fault codes for water temp, oil temp etc and other fault. But no f-ram failure.

I do have a door ecu which has bitten the dust (tried swapping from passenger to drivers and still doesn't work) so unless 1 of those not working can mess it up. Also tried disconnecting the ribbons and reconnecting them.

I've disconnected the alternator positive where and also the little black one and still the same, so running out of ideas really!

[Rib]

Oh and tried removing all the relays one by one and it doesn't shut it down. But if I pull the fuse or d/c the battery it shuts done for good then untill I turn the ignition on again

Oil/water Fault codes are because the sensors are out of range when cold - nothing to worry about TADTS

fwiw my issues wanst the alternator, but the connector on the ribbon cable on the dash ECU, new cables and all sorted
