did u try the test in engineering mode settings ? if pointer sits right there then its fine, could even be either sender in the tank as when they play up it will read lower then actual

No I didn't but am playing with the car all today so will give it a go.

Also real keen to swap my throttle body to the GM one I got, but maybe hold fire and sort out the traction control isse first, prob want it running without codes / issues till I start with that. TBH I haven't seen low power mode trip for a while but I know if I just leave it it WILL trip soon, it always will at some point. EVERY trigger now is when rolling and the throttle is doing nothing, Would prob be easier to diagnose if it was tripping like before when throttle was fully pressed but anyways. A tuner who was present when I got that shitty converter from the wreckers said to get a silver GM if it is supposed to have a silver and take to him and he'll default the ECM. With a search on here it seems just removing battery for 10 mins will do it but not convinced it'll *default* it, only reset it. I still think ole mate who had it before me got hold of HPTuners and went in and messed about, really wouldn't surprise me as he messed about with pretty much everything else...

Now not just saying traction control is off / on / off it shows an ABS fault, which makes me think it's something down by the brakes hey...

So Engineering Mode and Self Test....

Petrol gauge as you see doesn't hit maximum. When I fill to the brim it shows just over 75% full, and when low it goes way below the red E line.

While powered up I've moved the needle and now...

Will fill up car on next pay but could that be it one wonders...

Oh and only thing is when I switch ignition on it does this, I didn't think there was any movement with ignition coming on...

I'll see where the needle goes now when I fill and might even leave the screen off so I can get the needle bang on.

Altho this is out of whack. She might drink but I get more than 70ks from half a tank lol.

Also I just noticed the temp gauge doesn't go to max with the self test so *maybe* it's only supposed to do the 75% which is all the temp gauge does.

Anyone?

 

[lout]

self test is not supposed to go to max
it is supposed to go to 1/2 way mark

 

[HSV-Paul]

Sorry for the overload....

This...

Is probably more in line with this...

So have left the screen off the clusters and will see where the needle goes with a fill up. I'll just move the needle to max if not there already.

Ok just had a flash of this...

But went away after an ignition off and on. Went away but why did it show in the first place...?!

Then this is back...

And she's idling rough as so Whatcha reckon boys?
