Good day to you all, I believe I potentially might have an issue with DB9 2004 Tracker causing Gremlins.

My brake assist , warning lights ,traction control are on , I have undertaken fault diagnosis and no fault shown on my Foxwell.

I have had all of the brakes checked over and replaced pads , disks Callipers etc.

any ideas greatly appreciated.


regards

The tracker itself has an internal battery which if still original will have run out of juice by now.

Best bet is get a new unit fitted.

Hi I am not overly concerned about getting it disconnected if possible, but I want to make sure this issue does cause these gremlins that I am experiencing, as previous I have checked everything else?

thanks

My understanding is that this predicament will eventually affect all Gaydon cars, when the tracker batteries are at end of life.

( Could probably use that same sentence for every electric car! )

The tracker can be disconnected, but then the ECU software has to be told that it has happened.

My service experts did it for me, whilst doing regular maintenance. I was not having any 'gremlins', but they said I would eventually.
The charge was very modest, so it cannot be a big job, but presumably needs the AM 'electronic diagnostic stuff', in which case not a DIY task.

I think it cost about £125 for a new tracker unit fitted about 8 years ago.

Damn drat, no tracker on the car, took it to Aston Martin unable to clear the faults as identified, thankfully no other issues with the car at all identified on the scan.

looks like it is a wiring issue or a new module required Gulp.

anyone had similar issue?

Have you had the wheel speed sensors checked out ? Not an expensive part to replace.
