Hi Folks,
I jump started my Tuscan a couple of times recently and now have a pod which displays EFI FAULT, turn the engine off and all data is there when you scroll through.
I might add that today I fitted the new battery and was hoping that the screen would revert back to normal, to no avail.
Is there something I can do or is it just a wait until service time?

Thanks in advance,


James Sim.

You need to get a diagnostic test done to find the problem, get car to a specilists they'll plug it into a pc and find the problem, it might just need a reset or might be something else.

Mine is doing the same thing..... :O(

All I did was turn the car off and then re-start it as having battery problems which could be a lazy starter motor (was testing the starter motor when engine was hot). I'd been out for a run in the car... ran fine.... turned it off.... re-started and efi fault now on all the time.

The car runs ok and ticks over all fine. The only thing is I think it smells a bit. I was wondering if it's running a bit rich??

Can I be killing the cats?

I need to get it serviced before my engine warranty runs out on my engine re-build just to make sure all is still good with the engine so hope I get it sorted then.

I had that warning checked and found it to be that it was only coming on when I drove the car in the rain or after I had washed it ?

Hope yours is the same and nothing major !.
