Understanding Speed 6 Diagnostic software - Help please
Discussion
Hi peeps
I'm over from the Tuscan forum as I'm told you guys are knowledgable when it comes to understanding faults and the diagnostic software. Here's what I need help with....
A bit of background 1st.
I ran my car last week, ran fine. Turned her off and about 30 seconds later started her again and got efi warning on the screen. The car was running fine just had a warning up on the screen! Checked next day in case it was wet or cold causing a problem (after the car was in the garage all night) and still had a fault.
Got myself the diagnostic lead and software and connected to the car. I expected to see 1 or both of my lambda sensors faulty but got readings of about 0 - 1.2(ish) which is what the manual says it should read. Went to the the fault status screen and everything was reading as 'ok'.
OK... So I think this must be a false reading so I reset the fault log and the efi warning and buzzing stops.
So the next this was will it do it again if I switch the engine off and start her again. So tried this and all still celar. Fault status screen all showing ok.
Next thing was a test drive to get her up to temp and see if I get any faults logged.
Got back and plugged her in again and all was reading ok apart from the battery voltage. I know what this is, I have a lazy starter motor (due to be replaced) which I know has been dragging the battery down so hence a low voltage reading.
So did I have a faulse alarm? Am OK having reset the fault logs?
The only other thing is I get different readings on each of the Adaptive readings. One is about -9 and the other is about -17. Anyone know what this means and if it's a problem??
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.
Cheers

There's a useful doc on how to use the software on a speed 6 written by a member on here.
