I’ve got the dreaded EFI fault up again (on a Tuscan MK1).

It’s the 'O' - No communications between analogue and control fault.

I’m fairly sure it was caused by leaving the car out in the pouring rain.

Has anyone local got a ECU TO LAPTOP DIAGNOSTIC DATA LEAD I could borrow to see if I can down load the software to clear it? (Im based in West Yorkshire by the way).

I suspect this will happen occasionally, so I will buy one if it works, but I would like to try it out first before I splash anymore cash on the problem!

Thanks

BB

Thanks for the offer Keith.

I've made contact with a PH'r in Sheffield who has the cable and laptop / software, so I think I will bob down there and see how I get on.

If that doesnt work out, I will give you a shout if thats ok?

Many thanks. BB

Just to update:
I down loaded the diagnostic software from http://www.mytuscan.co.uk and connected to the ECU using a home made cable.
Everything appeared to be ok, so I just cancelled the fault, and everythings now back to normal.
Thanks for the offers of help, much appreciated.
Cheers. BB
