    Hi i wonder if anyone can help. I have a VX 2001 which I just brought. It seems that the power train light comes on now and again there is no pattern to it and it only comes on when I'm switched to gas on petrol it is fine. I got the fault codes but don't know what they mean they are as follows 10 1 3 2 1 5 7 1 not sure how it works but the numbers are the amount of flashes that came up on the dash don't know if there is any connect to the power train light. Don't know much about cars just drive em... Would appreciate any help you could give. Thanks Dee

    Those codes don't make sense. The first code will be 12 (3 times) then any other codes that have been logged (3 times each code) and then when all the codes have been displayed code 12 will flash again (3 times). 12 is 1 flash, short pause, 2 flashes. Code 12 means satisfactory operation.

    Yeah I thought they looked strange but the following is what I got
    10 1 3 2 10 1 3 2 10 1 3 2 then 1 5 7 1 1 5 7 1 1 5 7 1.

    I seem to recall that the VX has 4 digit codes, not two, but they still don't seem to make sense.
