Permanent faults won't erase, because the actual fault is still present, for example, if you disconnect the MAF, you get a MAF fault. You can't erase that fault until the MAF is reconnected, which then becomes a Temporary fault which can be erased.cvloenen wrote:Hi C3CAR, if managed to find the data in Lexia.

It forces the garage/you to fix the problem that has brought up the fault code.
You seem to need to create a zone for each batch of erasing, this stores information about which garage did the erasing, the fault code and at which mileage. Its just some sort of auditing tool. There is a maximum of 50 zones, but I don't know what happens after you reach the 50 mark.

Thanks C3CAR, I'll have a look at it again, probably all permanent faults I have then. There were faults with two of the injectors, shorts if I remember. Car otherwise seems fine.

Probably glow plug/pre heat relay faults.cvloenen wrote:Thanks C3CAR, I'll have a look at it again, probably all permanent faults I have then. There were faults with two of the injectors, shorts if I remember. Car otherwise seems fine.
If you can attach some screen shots (ALT+PRT Sc, paste into paint), that would be good.
