bzerkone Member 132 Member For: 19y 3m 5d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 09/08/17 02:33 PM Posted 09/08/17 02:33 PM So I have a system comms fault that comms up whilst I am driving... when this happens the car will usually continue to accelerate even with my foot off the accelerator, or when slowing down and pushing the clutch in the car will start to rev or the revs surge.. If I turn the ignition off and back on the fault resets but generally comes back soon after.. anyone know what this could be? I am thinking maybe a TPS issue... It used to happen once in a blue moon now it happens every time I drive it more than 15 minutes..

I hope the OP is still around. @bzerkone, if you get a system comms fault show, did you try and read the codes off the ECU?

Turned out the ground cable from the battery was disintegrating and turning to dust inside the rubber. Switched it out and added another cable to another ground point and no problem since. 1

Tightened the neg terminal screws and all good At least had a reason for being late to meet the marketing lady when I offered my greased up hand (no time to clean it properly after hunting around the engine bay for the root cause before the meeting with her ...)

waywardtoaster New Member 3 Member For: 11y 7m Posted 09/05/25 11:36 AM Posted 09/05/25 11:36 AM Just adding my experience in case it helps someone in the future. The ICC screen was dead and none of the buttons for climate etc would do anything. The 15 amp fuse was blown and the screen was fried. New fuse and repaired screen did the trick. For anyone in Adelaide, go to Athol Park wreckers.
