THREE ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT I THINK ARE CONNECTED

The battery is new ish (year old) & charged last week on a conditioner, but always shows low on the cars voltage on the dash when turned on, but goes to normal when running, i assume this is standard.

& yes the R is on the dash when in reverse

Assuming the engine has been running and the lights etc still fail ?
Can you swap the relay or can you measure volts across its coil when going in/out of REV ?

Great could i possibly organise to plug you reverse gear switch onto my car to eliminate the switch?

I have now had flashing R when in reverse & brought up dtc p0600 communication error, which is a CAN error.

All other errors are self made, by powering down system & unpluging switch.

Thats why i want to eliminate the switch.

My email is Klms@btinternet.com, i did have yours but lost the feed?..

Thanks
Kevin

Any ideas on this new code?

Hi , it’s hard as you are getting random results.

Are tests being done with engine running ?

Are brake lights working with selecting the REV gear ?

When the R flashing will it drive in Reverse ?

Regards
Steve

Hi

Ive plugged texa with ignition on & driving, p0600 code came after put in reverse & R on dash flashed. Ive cleared all codes

Brake lights are were not working when in reverse, but after fitting new brake light switch they work ok

When R was flashing it was able to be driven in reverse, flash R only happened once.

Trying a reverse gear switch tomorrow & reverse gear relay has just turned up, so will fit tonight.

Iam trying to eliminate, that side of things first.

As my main problem is reverse lights, rear parking sensors & mirrors not dipping when in reverse, i assume they are all on the same circuit, i believe this circuit goes through the seat ecu, so will be looking in that direction next.

Any clues?

Ill let you know tomorrow how i get on

Thanks to Navcorr for letting me plug in his spare reverse gear switch.
