  1. When it runs, hook up a multi-meter at the battery jump points in the engine bay and read out the volts. Anything under 12.5 is most likely the alternator or a control module. Are getting the same error codes? My car would run until the battery would die down, you old actually see the volts drop as the battery drained. With the duramtric I had an issue with usb driver but after reinstalling that it worked. Pm me and I will send you the shop procedure to change the alternator.

  2. Hi all,

    Well after I replaced a bad battery and alternator I am still throwing codes. I cleared using my Durametric, drove a few days and tested again. Still having the same codes appear. Any suggestions?

    470 CAN comfort in single wire operation. Open circuit, test conditions are not complete. Fault is currently active and is not causing DTC.

    907. Load management operation on vehicle sys/dme control module. No additional fault status available, test conditions not completed. Fault is currently active and not causing a DTC

    778. Steering angle sensor (no description)

  3. Well, finally had some time to put everything back on, replace the vent line and oil pressure sensor. Started right up and is now putting out 13.8 volts. Took the old alternator to AutoZone and bench tested it and it wouldn't put out any volts. Additionally, I checked the codes with the durametric and have a couple of weird codes. I cleared them and will drive around for a bit and re check. My local dealer quoted 7 hours of labor plus $899 for the alternator. Its definitely a pain but well worth it.

  4. Procedure:

    Disconnect Both batter cables (negative)

    Remove Right wheel

    Remove Right wheel housing liner

    Remove undercarage covers

    Remove air cleaner houseing/tubing

    Remove Air cleaner box

    Remove Drive Belt

    Remove ALternator/Generator impact bracket (3 bolts)

    Clamp off coolant inlet/outlet

    Unscrew ground lead

    Unhindge fastening clips

    Unscrew coolant lines (star bit) 1 screw on each outlet/inlet. Pull plastic coolant plugs out. Making sure you have the O rings

    Remove Alternator protective cap

    Unplug connector plug

    Unbolt 3 bolts holding alternator 2 side 1 on top

    Spend 45 minutes trying to work its way out the side wheel well through the opening from the air cleaner box. You onl have an extra MM of clearence.

    Reverse.......

  5. Update

    After clearing the codes, charging, checking the batter connections, i decided to drive it to work. About half way to work the volt meter dial jumped to 13.5. On the way home it was down to about 11.8 so something is going on. Plugged in the durametric and these codes appeared.

    Vehicle Electrical System

    Current Fault Codes
    70: Starter battery voltage (second battery) - Implausible signal, test conditions are not-completed, fault is not currently active and is not causing a DTC light 668: Vehicle voltage terminal 30 - Implausible signal, test conditions are not-completed, fault is not currently active and is not causing a DTC light 907: Load management operat. on vehicle electrical sys./DME control module - No additional fault status available, test conditions are not-completed, fault is currently active and is not causing a DTC light 1320: Air-conditioning system regulator control module - No signal/communication, test conditions are not-completed, fault is not currently active and is not causing a DTC light 1299: Gateway - Please read out fault memory, test conditions are not-completed, fault is not currently active and is not causing a DTC light 2196: Terminal 30 fuse for vehicle electrical system control module - Upper limit value exceeded, test conditions are not-completed, fault is not currently active and is not causing a DTC light
  6. Hey all,Well, while driving home from work today MY04S displayed a message "Electric Load Shut Off". Here's the thing I had all kinds of screwy messages a few months back and my battery under the front seat was bad and replaced it with a new. Haven't tried pulling any codes but could it be a bad battery or the battery in back? Is there a way to do a load test without having to take the battery out? I hope its not the alternator...I am going to assume its the liquid cooled one.... Thoughts?
  7. Thanks Loren as always! Just a quick question because I haven't looked yet and I couldn't find 24 69 19 (Removing and Installing Oxygen Sensor) in my manual. I have been trying to find it and its not in the exhaust section. I believe the connector is is on the passenger side left/under the air pump but the actual sensor can it be reached on top or does it have to be removed from under?

    Thanks!
