Warning Code J

[stillgrinning]

Anyone know what Warning Code J relates to ? I can't find andything in the "manual".

Last night I had been going rather quickly for about 3 miles through some twisty country roads, with some ups & downs (just what the doctor ordered) and then entered a built up area so slowed down and started to drive more sensibly. The engine cut out and up came warning code J (I think !). It felt like it had run out of petrol (which it hadn't). I turn the engine over and it started and has been fine ever since (took it out this morning rather carefully).

You just prompted me ta have a search and some kind soul left this lying around in a previous thread:


Tuscan Dashboard Diagnosic Codes

A - Speedo not activating zero switch/switch failed/open circuit
B - Speedo not releasing zero switch/switch failed/short to earth
C - Water not activating zero switch/switch failed/open circuit
D - Water not releasing zero switch/switch failed/short to earth
E - Fuel not activating zero switch/switch failed/open circuit
F - Fuel not releasing zero switch/switch failed/short to earth
G - Water temperature sensor input open circuit
H - Air temperature sensor input open circui
I - Oil temperature sensor input open circuit
J - Oil presure sensor input open circuit
K - Fuel level sensor input open circuit
L - Erratic road speed signal input
M
N
O - No communication between analogue and control up

Here you go...

A - Speedo sensor not activating zero switch or switch broken
B - Speedo sensor not releasing zero switch or switch broken
C - Water level sensor not activating zero switch or switch broken
D - Water level sensor not releasing zero switch or switch broken
E - Fuel level sensor not activating zero switch or switch broken
F - Fuel level sensor not releasing zero switch or switch broken
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.

So with a "J"...

.. it could be cause or effect, couldn't it? Whatever it stalled for, it might be that in re-starting it got confused. How has your oil level been?

[stillgrinning]

Oil level has been fine. Checked regularly and doesn't seem to use much.

It has recently (about 1000 miles ago) had it's 1000 mile oil change after a rebuild.

What does "Oil Pressure Open Circuit" actually mean ?

[MarkoTVR]

I would imagine that 'open circuit' means that there is no discernable voltage reading from the sensor, so is all the necessary wiring intact?

[stillgrinning]

I haven't taken the bonnet off to look, although if I did I'm not sure I would know what to look for ?

I would run over to the local TVR dealership and I am sure they will plug a computer in and it will tell them nothing and I will waste everyone's time. If it happens again I will but for now I thought I would find out if anyone else had had the same problem.
