Dead ECU? This is when employing or getting someone in who knows how to diagnose engine management systems is worth the money. This is when spending £2000+ on a proper diagnostic tool is worth the money.

If your company isn’t willing to spend the money like a HGV “garage” in Malton one firm I’ve driven for won’t, I suggest saying that they need to take it to a main dealer who has the proper gear.

Check all the bulkhead electrical connectors above the pedals very, very carefully. I had a similar, but not identical, problem on one of these some years ago, this was due to the pins not making a good contact.

Hi guys.Thanks for your replys.we do have Texa diagnostics but won’t recognise the truck due to its age ive spoke to man who told us how to wire up for blink codes but no fault exists in Ecu.i did forget to say that they had tried another ecru from good truck.but no change.i will try plugs above pedals when I’m back on Tuesday but all ideas appreciated.

It’ll be getting to the point where the labour costs outweigh the value of the truck. A 2004 MAN can’t be worth a whole lot.

Maybe not in your eyes but it’s somebody’s bread and butter :unamused: :unamused: :unamused:

It doesn’t work quite like that. When the fault is eventually found is when the hours of labour start being knocked off the bill until something sensible is arrived at.

Could it be an immobiliser problem? These can often be behind starting problems with no fault codes.

So in summary you have no constructive input to offer at all?
