Hope someone can help me.
I managed to closed the boot lid with the batter disconnected (yes, I have been kicking myself). I managed to unlock it using the procedure in the manual which worked fine, or appeared to. Since then, the remote key unlocking no longer works, and the rear spoiler has come up. The display in the car now says there is a system fault and a spoiler fault.
I've now disconnected the battery for 30 mins and reconnected again (without locking myself out of the compartment this time !!) and am leaving everything alone.
Anyone got any ideas if the faults persist ??
Thanks !
The spoiler fault is a new one for me, you may need to take it to the dealer for that. With regard to the locking and unlocking via the key, it sounds like you need to reactivate the keyfob. To do this insert the key in the drivers door and unlock it. Leave the key in the door and do not open the door. While the key is still in the lock, press the lock/unlock button on your key and at this point it should be reactivated.
Hmm, just tried that and it doesn't seem to be working. Do I need to just press once or hold it down ?
Thanks!
Did you lock the car with the key first? Then follow the instructions above. Only need to press button 1 on the remote; not hold down.
You should only need to press it once and the system will recognize your key again and start opening and closing your locks. Are you sure the battery is fully charged?
Still no joy I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure its fully charged.
Thanks for the help anyway though, much appreciated. Looks like a trip to the dealer :-(
Might as well take a look at the fuses to see if anything is amiss. There are spares in the fuse box if so. Good luck.
The correct way to reinitialize your key is to stick it in the ignition, don't turn it. Hold down the unlock button until the frequency of the red light blinking changes (~10-20 secs).
The spoiler problem does sound like a fuse mishap, check fuse 3 row a. While you're at it, 2 and 5 in row A also control central locking, one of them might be out.
Suneet, you're a diamond ! That did the trick first time
Also the spoiler issue indeed turned out to be a fuse issue. Now also fixed
))
Unfortunately I'm also getting a PSM warning which doesn't seem to clear. I'm going to leave it all overnight and see what the morning brings after she's had a nice sleep !
This forum rocks. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and big kudos to Suneet !
The PSM warning is normal when the battery is reconnected, it's because your steering sensor needs to be reset. Drive the car around for 10-20 minutes and it will work; the main point is the wheel needs to go a full rotation to the left and then to the right for the sensor to be fully calibrated.
That's fixed too now. I'd tried running the car round the block to clear it but it stayed on. I just went out of a slightly longer run and its sorted now.
One very relieved man sitting right here.
Now.... lets see if I can get the mobridge working, which is why I was messing about with the battery in the first place !
Thanks all.
Just gotta love a happy ending (especially when we all learned something!)
I have to agree. Suneet's fix was news to me, so kudos to Suneet on this one!
