    Hi Guys.

    Over the past week or so the VS has been feeling a bit down on power (not hugely noticeable but enough to bug me)

    Ran an error code check and got:

    Code 15 - Coolant temperature Sensor high voltage

    Code 22 - Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) low voltage

    Code 23 - Air Temp Sensor high voltage

    Code 32 - Manifold Air Flow Sensor

    It seems strange that all these errors appeared at once.

    I check the codes every few weeks to make sure all is well so its not something that has gradually been getting worse.

    The only thing I have done to the car of late is regas the compressor but thats about it.


    Could this be a wiring harness/ECU issue as I highly doubt all the sensors would have gone at once?

    Where should I start with this?

    I have reset the ECU and the codes are still coming up.

    Thanks

    Update: Just checked some of the wiring/plugs for some of the sensors with the multimeter with the ignition on.

    MAF: 12.1V between Right To Middle Pin, 5V between Left to Middle Pin

    Air Temp Sensor: 5V

    Coolant Temp Sensor: 5V

    Does that look right?

    Took the engine for a run round the block (about 1.5km) and the engine bay is ridiculously hot (can't touch the top of the plenum)...which seems quite hot for such a short trip from cold stat. (temp gauge didn't seem to go over a quarter though)

    All the voltage checks are within specification, so I'd check the fuses and each sensor's wiring. Maybe your ECU is tripping out giving you intermittent faults. Terminal connector A1 of the ECU is earth for the MAF sensor, it should show 0V.
