Sv6 a/s

[spac1992]

Was it a company car?

i know come company cras had the traction control button removed so it would be permanently on,

could be something simular.

yeha it was a company car long ago, maybe yeah something like that.

Are u sure it is a 5 speed box and hasnt been replaced with a 4 speed for some reason? would explain the paddle shifts. and im guessing a 4 speed would be cheaper and more common for than a 5 speed if it needed replacing. you should be able to tell on a straight road and simply counting the gear changes.

I think spac1992 is on the right track. Seeings that it used to be a company car, that button could have been removed. Now that you've put the button back in and wired it up it should work.
Is the wire connector connected properly? Maybe the pins were dirty or a bit oxidised from being exposed for so long. Give the connection a spray with CRC contact cleaner and make sure its snapped together firmly. Failing that, I can't help any further.

Have you checked the active select relay (if there is one) and any other fuses? Any outcomes from this yet?

 

[wassaby]

Nope. Have looked but cant find a fuse for it. Are there any fuses in side the car or is it just the box in the engine bay. Have another problem at the moment the check power train has come on.

take it somewhere that has a tech 2 and get them to check why the powertrain light is on.
while your there get them to check whether its an actual sv6 or not

Cant find a relay, no have not solved yet, has 5 spd gear box too. Weird thing though when it says its in third on the stick and says it in 4th on the computer when i shift down to 2 and says third on the computer. Maybe wrong pannel on the gear box unit. Any more suggestions??

I reckon you have a "Police Pack" vehicle . I heard that the cops wanted deactivated the Active Select system. I dont know how to find out its a ex cop vehicle though , maybe theres a code on the ID plate under the bonnet radiator frame area????
