Hi all,

I am having a bit of trouble and I'm hoping you can help.

I've started to get a 'S' displayed when I start my Tuscan Mk2

I've read through the previous postings but I can't find a mention of it?

Any ideas?

Thanks

Conor

Hi conor

funny you should mention that, ive got the same! only on start up though, never thought much about it.
also a tuscan 2 made in sept 2004. chamaeleon paint ( the fastest jester )
the extra spec is what i put it down to, the previous owner specced the 4.0 litre engine with a 380bhp engine, among other little bits n bobs, well thats what it says on the the order paperwork!

so, i would also like to know

Hi Stu

Mine is a 2005 4.0 with the S pack.

I bought it from Peninsula TVR just before Christmas, so I'm a virtual TVR virgin!

I must say I love the car to bits!!!!

All these warning beeps and symbols are all a bit confusing.

Conor

You know I always thought "Code S" was something like " You've got an "S" and you're not driving it hard enough hehe

But you may have to check with a dealer. I suspect they're different on a Mk II, but see EFI codes here:

Hi

I always thought it meant "saftey mode"
Then the ecu reset itself
It only ever happens on start up

Cheers Tom

OK - that's slightly poor taste, but it's only a joke, right?
