Lots of fault codes

[davidmiller]

The check engine light came up so I put in the scanner which has found 6 fault codes.
They are....
Circuit q13 glow plug circuit q15 electrical fault.

P2008 intake manifold runner control imrc electrical function.

Po513 incorrect immobilizer key.

P1945 control module for cooking fan sorry circuit.

P1946 control module for fan faulty

DTC definition not found refer to vehicle service manual

Anyone got any ideas. I thought I'd ask here first as the car is only worth scrap value and may not be worth doing.

Watching the repair guys on YouTube it's sometimes the case one fault throws up multiple error codes. Is that what you are asking?

make note of faults then try to clear faults and see what comes back. Some faults could have been caused by removal of wiring plugs when car was running

What he said ^, Reset codes then rescan

I deleted them yesterday But the light stayed on. Today I deleted them again the light went off. I drove about twenty miles today got home no light. Then went out again and it's back. It's the hope that kills ya

Well I don't think they are all connected. Maybe some of them have been there a while and a more serious one has just started and triggered the light to come on?

The same codes as before?

You need to delete, run the engine/drive, then rescan and identify the codes remaining.
What scanner are you using and what car?

 

[Scally-Ho]

You took the words right from my thought patterns

Yes, what car is it?

Looks like your glow plugs have failed.

 

[Scally-Ho]

If it can start without glow plugs, then I expect it's a direct injection type.

It's a b6 Passat TDI.
Just a diy scanner. Autophix I think it's called.
