Dashboard warning codes on t350c ??????

[zooooom]

Does anyone know were you can find a list that explains all the warning codes that sometimes appear on dashboard.

I have looked throw all of the owners handbook but there is no explination of warning codes.

Have done 1665 miles in my T350c and starting to build the revs up slowly after her first service, but every time I venture above 4100 revs, I get a code 03 warning oil pressure 26psi for a split second so I just back off a bit.

Can anyone explain or had simular problem

Well that oil pressure certainly sounds a bit low for those revs - should be 30psi at 2,000rpm and goes up to high 40s at least at these revs.

The oil pressure sender is a crap design on these engines and I think yours may be misreading. Your dealer should have one in stock and be able to change it while you wait. I'd be careful until this has been confirmed as the fault just in case.

On the T350 the warnings are accompanied by an explanation - like the oil warning you mention. I do not know of any extra list of codes (I know such a list exists for the Tuscan ECU though, but this is different).

the sensors are very sensitive. so i have been told.

I wish they'd update the software so that it polls the various sensors once every 5 seconds or so instead of several times a second (or whatever). Then you wouldn't get those silly readings - sitting at the lights within 5 seconds something like the water temperature can go 90/92/89/90/91/90 ... does my head in.

Best I get it to the dealer for a check THANKS

Like the colour of your car Targarama very nice.

I had the same problem in my Tam with the oil pressure sensor giving a warning at high revs. It really worried me at the time. The sensor was replaced and was fine afterwards.

I think between us all we've probably had all the codes come up at one time or another so we could start posting them here!

Embarrassingly, I had the fuel sensor and the A/C warning (which wasn’t actually on!) at the same time after switching off this weekend but can’t remember the numbers… (I tend to ignore these ones now anyway, especially with the EFI popping up every time I start the engine, LOL).

I am trying to get a list from TVR to put it in the Tamora register.

Re oil pressure sensitivity - I've had three different sensors on my car (the first two leaked), and they all gave rather different readings for oil pressure at @2k rpm. Still, it does sound a bit odd that it comes on as you're accelerating...

fairclp. Glad it's not just me. EFI every time you start. Had the oil pressure switch changed for the same reason and works fine now. Am getting water sensor popping up now though .

Don't worry about the warning codes. Mine are just nonsense as they bring up faults for things I am not even using. Just watch oil pressure, and water temp.

[zooooom]

Its booked in for saturday for a new oil pressure sender apparently its on a ten minute job ????
Hope its that and nothing more serious.

I had the EFI fixed at the 1000 miler. It was (I believe) caused by the water temp sensor!

Now the EFI is back since 2000 miles. I'm sure it was missing me. So, we're back to together...

I wonder which sensor is causing it this time...

PS: Still no pic on your profile

Joke: I wonder if they assigned a fault code for "Catastrophic Engine Failure"

I'm a newbie TVR owner - had my T350 since end Sept, and have had plenty of warning lights already. Dealer says most are harmless, but the EFI one is the one to watch as it can indicate more serious problems. Keeps popping up, every time it goes back it's the water temp sensor so given up now. The ones I'm aware of are...
04 EFI (Engine Management System)
19 Fuel Sensor (seems to be a problem with the sender, sometimes accompanied by incorrect fuel guage readings)
26 Air Conditioning - don't matter whether it's on or not.
