Peter_M Member 31 Member For: 12y 11m 9d Posted 18/09/13 07:52 AM Share Posted 18/09/13 07:52 AM Hello all,I have had a very serious problem that almost caused me a major accident on a very busy freeway.I have a 2003 BA XR6T with a 4 speed auto.What happens is that out of nowhere the D will start flashing, and the gears wont shift properly, it will rev really high then drop gears suddenly.. I was driving on my way home, and on the freeway D started flashing, so I laid off the accelerator and as I started dropping in speed the car I think dropped gears very suddenly causing strain on my gearbox and started skidding... it then goes into limp mode and acceleration comes on and off but wont let me go over 3k.I scanned it and the codes are as follows:P0230 - FUEL PUMP PRIMARY CKTP0753 - SHIFT SOLENOID A - ELECTRICALP0758 - SHIFT SOLENOID B - ELECTRICALP0763 - SHIFT SOLENOID C - ELECTRICALP0768 - SHIFT SOLENOID D - ELECTRICALP1131 - LACK OF H02S - 11 SWITCHES - SENSOR INDICATES LEAN (B1,S1)P1227 - WASTEGATE FAILED CLOSED ( OVER PRESSURE)P1465 - A/C RELAY CKTP1474 - FAN CONTROL PRIMARY CKTP1746 - PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID A OPEN CKTP1748 - PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID OPEN CKTI'm really not sure what to do about it, no one knows what it is... ive checked the amps of the battery using a multimeter and it is fine.. The last thing I did to the car is changed a coil, and degreased the motor and lightly sprayed the engine bay, covering all the electrics with plastic bags...Absolutely any advice/help will be extremely appreciated!

Peter_M Member 31 Member For: 12y 11m 9d Posted 18/09/13 08:25 AM Author Share Posted 18/09/13 08:25 AM Yeah I think I will clear fault codes, disconnect battery, let it all reset and see what happens. I still have the invoice and its covered by a 12 month warranty, only issue is I didn't get the work done, the guy who sold it to me did, but the warranty should still apply to me right?
