Hello,

My hand held code reader arrived today and 1 code came up.

01317 Radio, control module in instrument cluster (J285).

My naviation button barely works, it has to be pushed hard intothe radio to eg. change track. I assume this is the symptom. Maybe a new radio would help hehe.

Secondly i ran a readiness check on the engine and these were the fails:

Cat

Sec air syst

O2 sensor

Is it because the car was cold (not even started) and that if i gave it a good run thn it should pass? btw my sec air sys is always ticking even after a journey. :S

Thanks.

Sec air injection should only run after start-up I think....you sure its not the carbon canister under the bonnet right hand side

I think it might pass after a good long run..i wouldnt worry about those.

Well i took car for a run, cleared the radio code and it hasnt come back on.

Only things that fail now are cat and sec air syst, 02 sensor passed.

Cat im not to bothered about as its getting changed this week but why isnt there a fault code come up if they dont work?

The noise what i thought was the sec air sys is the charcoal/carbon cannister like you said mate, my mistake.

as far as i know it can be a few hundred miles for the cat to pass....dont worry about it.

Read on another forum that the readiness codes arent that great.

You had exhaust fitted today?

Which code reader did you get?

Seems like a good one.

i got this one: Professional Fault Code Reader for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, Skoda (1996-2008) :: Gendan Automotive Products

its great for what im going to use it for, will jus plug it every other week or so when i check oil, tyres etc.

got exhaust changed today (turbo back) and ran the code reader again.

The cat has now passed the readiness test but not the sec air system. does this need changing as there are still no fault codes? Thanks.
