My sister in laws WM V6 is having issues starting. It tries to crank but won't fire. I've hooked it up to my diagnostic tool and have found these in the log:

Anyone know where to look?

Suggest you call the NRMA for them to check it. Good luck.

NRMA No Real Mechanic Available.....:idea:
sounds like it may have lost rpm signal ( crank angle sensor )

So either no spark, weak spark, no fuel or serious computer issues.
Can you smell fuel when cranking ?
What happened last time car was driven ?
Check / swap fuel pump relay and engine relay, ignition coil relay...

Also check the throttle body butterfly moves freely. I read in a recent thread a stuck butterfly would prevent the car from starting without throwing any code.
