Year of Manufacture *: 2002
Customer had already had scans by other workshops and had been alarmed at the prospect of replacing very expensive components so He aske me to have a look
(I have recently serviced/repaired a number of his other vehicles)
I checked on "Live Data" using Multiscan and the TCM seemed to be responding to the gear selector lever correctly (This is one item that the other workshops had implicated)
I extracted two fault codes, 60 with the rather vague description of "Transmission switch" and also 106 with no description offered by Multiscan.
I then cleared the fault codes and took it for a drive, everything now seems to work just fine. (I do not believe the other workshops did this)
I have advised owner to see how it goes for now and to call me if the fault returns.
The car, despite its age, is very low milage (less than 25,000 miles from new)
Might it simply be a lack of use causing something to stick intermittently? He has also had recent issues with the battery but that has been changed (googling suggests that this can also cause problems sometimes)
Anybody have this issue before?
Anybody have a more definitive description of what Fault code 60 means (And 106)
(I have tried to web search to no avail and Autodata is of no apparent use ! )
I am minded to advise a transmission oil and filter change in due course (I always like doing this on older cars, I often find it transforms them!) but would be interested to know if anybody else has experienced this particular fault.
