Strange trip comp chimes and comp error code
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, and fairly new to Commodores, so plz forgive me if this has been posted before (I have searched the forums and have not found at least some of the answers to the following questions).
My car is a VX Series 1 Berlina w/ 3.8L Ecotec engine. There have not been any serious problems since I bought it Nov last year, and as far as I know it is stock standard.
Earlier today I had been driving around, and stopped for a few minutes ( engine off, car locked, etc). Came back and started the car, and the trip computer played a musical-sounding chime at me, the security light on the trip comp control was flashing quickly, and the TRAC OFF light came on and wouldn't go off. I'm not sure if there were any other lights on the dash.
The chime had 3 or more different tones to it - I can't remember exactly how it went. I also couldn't find any info in the owner's manual on these chimes. The engine wasn't overheating, and I hadn't even put the trans out of Park, let alone moved the car.
I turned off the engine and tried restarting - everything normal again, and it hasn't done it since.
I have since checked the computer error codes using the vt-vx2 pdf file from this forum (thank you to whoever posted that - I can't remember who it was), and get a fault code readout as follows: 1 flash, short pause, 2 flashes, short pause, 5 flashes, short pause, 5 flashes, long pause, code repeats.
The short pauses are all the same length, and there is no ten-flash ten-flash preceding the 1-2 as posted by some. It appears to be giving a code of 1-2-5-5, and not 12 then 55. I tried resetting the fault codes by disconnecting both batt terminals for at least 1 minute, and the code is still the same.
So far, I haven't found much on the internet about either of these problems. Can anyone help? I might try talking to Holden tomorrow to see if they have can shed some light on this.
Thanks, Jasiel.
