error codes K and L

[glaisdale101]

Every now and then I keep getting error codes on the tuscan only at start up some times it's error code L and just recently error code K ,I'm unsure of what these mean and was wondering if these were linked to a charging problem as when running the alternator only pushes 13.5v at best usually running at 13.2v. does any one have a list of code meanings or what these two codes are telling me. thanks

I think Code L usually means the sensor near the axle which drives the speedos just needs a clean. This has been covered recently (with pics) in this forum.

But together with Code K (which I don't know much about) it sounds like it could be a more subtle electrical fault.

• A - Speedo sensor not activating zero switch
• B - Speedo sensor not releasing zero switch
• C - Water level sensor not activating zero switch
• D - Water level sensor not releasing zero switch
• E - Fuel level sensor not activating zero switch
• F - Fuel level sensor not releasing zero switch
• G - Water level sensor open circuit
• H - Air temp sensor open circuit
• I - Oil temp sensor open circuit
• J - Oil pressure sensor open circuit
• K - Fuel level sensor open circuit
• L - Erratic road speed sensor input
• O - No communications between analogue and control

If the alternator stops charging the volts will drop down to battery voltage around 12.75V on a good battery. However I have seen 14.0 Volts on my LCD display?

If the speed transducer near the axle has a fault (Code L), typically neither the analogue, digital speedometer or odometer will work.

many thanks for your help on the error codes etc

where is this cleaning been covered (with pics) because it might be that i have to do this tomorrow and i can not find the thread.

thnx a lot.

Can't find the thread now, but here's the mytuscan.co.uk FAQ about the speed sensor location

Aha! Speedo thread

Thanx!!!

i get a code k all the time. for me its the switch in the boot rhs where the tyre foam rest on. the foam slides down and knocked the clip opening the loop. try this.
