I have had a replacement used Maxidot fitted to my car and it has been successfully immobilizer coded and mileage corrected.

 

Problem is, now the ABS, TPMS and ESP lights are permanently illumminated. No faults have been found, apart from the fact that the ESP System function test has been initialised, but cannot complete.

 

I have been been informed since the ESP test cannot be successfully finished, the other sensors cannot calibrate either. But try as I may, the test just refuses to complete.

 

The followed procedure, from Ross-Tech:

 

Prerequisites

• Vehicle stationary
• Ignition ON, Engine ON (Running)
• Perform the Test Drive on an enclosed Site (i.e. a Parking Lot)
• Make sure to Complete the Function Test within 50 Seconds after pressing the Brake Pedal

 

Instructions

• Firmly press the Brake Pedal until a certain Brake Pressure (usually right above 30 bar) is reached.
• Brake Pressure Sensor (G201) Plausibility will be confirmed by a Change in the Brake Electronics Warning Lights.
  • On Bosch, the ASR/ESP Warning Light (K155) will switch OFF and the ABS Warning Light (K47) will switch ON.
  • On Continental/Teves, the ABS Warning Light (K47) will switch OFF and the ASR/ESP Warning Light (K155) switch ON.
• Start Driving straight with a steady Speed of ~20 km/h (~13 mph).
• Turn the Steering Wheel either Left or Right between a 90° Angle (1/4 Turn) to 180° Angle (1/2 Turn) and keep it steady.
• Lateral Acceleration Sensor (G200) and Rotation Rate Sensor (G202) Plausibility is confirmed
  once the remaining Brake Electronics Warning Light(s) switch OFF.
• The Function Test is now completed.

Notes

• When Driving, make sure the general Speed is between 15 to 30 kph (9 to 18 mph).
• The Turn should be done at a Rotation/Turn Rate of ~10 °/s which can be achieved with a
  Turning Radius of 10 to 12 Meters (30 to 40 feet) with a Speed between 15 to 30 kph (9 to 18 mph).
• You may experience Variations in the Warning Light Behavior depending on the individual Brake System Generation,
  this is no Reason to be concerned as long as you follow the General Procedure.

 

 

Done all of the above, probably dozens of times with no joy. Any ideas?

 

Cheers

 

who fitted it? surely they should sort it

 

when I fit these I never get these faults

That's just it. They're at a loss how to. Ball's back in my court now, as far as I can see. Finding someone who can is proving to be nigh on impossible.

I think I PMed you a while back about fitting, but didn't get a response?

Just had a look, I did reply. You were in the process of obtaining the cluster

 

I take it the guy fitted it in your car before adapting it?

 

if so that is why you need to perform the correct basic settings, not what is listed above

Yes, to which I then asked if by any chance you were going to be in my area.

 

With regards the fella in question, I think he took a snapshot of the settings of the old cluster, replaced it with the new cluster, then applied the settings. This was before he checked the units were compatible and fully functional, though.

 

What are these basic settings you're referring too? Is it the Ross-Tech wiki?

Anyone here with any useful suggestions?
