will 169 Report post Posted January 2, 2007 My OBC in my 'vert has a gremlin in it.. displays time and date fine but comes up with all PPPP when using any other function eg consump, temp, range.. I have not come across this before. Was working fine last time I used the car. See pic attached. Tried disconnecting the battery and using the reset functions etc but still PPPP... Anyone have any ideas as to how to repair it? Who might repair it? Alternatively, has anyone a good spare for me? Will Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will I dont have a direct link for you Will but in my web browsing Ive seen this several times and its a known problem so give google a bash and see what you come up with.[edit] Here are a quick couple of possible solutions I've heard that disconnecting the battery for a long time (like 1 hour) will make this go away. I lived with this problem for several (3) years. I tried disconnecting the battery for the 1+ hours or so to no avail. The ultimate solution was to disconnect the computer itself from its multi-pin connector. I left it unhooked for approximately 24 hours. Upon reconnecting the computer.....viola a full up and running OBC II. Jeff Wilcox So here is what works most of the time. With the key in the "Radio" position (Radio and OBC light up, but not the instrument cluster), press the "CODE" button. Then push the little reset-hole with a Pen and hold it, 'till the computer blinks in the display, and it will ask you for a time and date entry. - You now have re-adapted the coding plug to the computer. - Normally the computer goes into a PPPP mode when the car has been boosted, or some other very drastically voltage changes have occurred.
