Got the pins out. Connectors look clean. I am thinking i have more breaks in the harness further in. Might be time to get out the scalpel and start cutting it back.
Also getting a lot of no comms from ECU messages
Camshaft Timing
Re: Camshaft Timing
That’s weird. Really hard to believe that there’s an issue in the middle of the harness.
Maybe you’ve got a module that’s faulting and taking down the CAN line.
Are the comms faults consistent? What exactly is the DTC?

Re: Camshaft Timing
I will copy them next round. If I move the harness I often get terminal 30 missing or intermittent. Other one is no communication with ECU. The strange one is I can't change the tune.
Re: Camshaft Timing
In my mazda, a shorted injector was taking out the ABS module. different issues going on here, but makes shopps point that a completely unrelated problem was raising all sorts of other errors.

Re: Camshaft Timing
Yeah, it's going to take some finding. Will have a look tomorrow at the harness. I have 2 spare engines, both with harnesses. They need some work but maybe worth a change to rule it out. The only things I don't have a spare of are the ABS module and the transmission.
Re: Camshaft Timing
Thinking about what Shop said. The fault code it's always had is no communication with the radio. The TCM is not fitted and it has an aftermarket head unit. This may affect the K line. I have only ever done auto scans, so maybe going in and looking at measuring blocks is confusing the ECU. Might have to fit the Tragic Control Module. Any thoughts on this?
Really appreciate your help guys.

Re: Camshaft Timing
I don't think that's going to be the source of your problem. If the radio's not there it's normal that it can't communicate with it. I'd be more concerned about a present module on the bus that's causing your ECU comms problems. Unless the only comms problem you have is the radio in which case you can safely ignore it.
I'd be most concerned about problems on the CAN Hi line like ABS module, Trans, etc.

Re: Camshaft Timing
I have a spare TCU. I will give it a try.
Re: Camshaft Timing
Hooked up the battery and went for a drive. No issues no MIL. Been taking notes and the common thing is it's all good unless I access the ECU (01) directly using VCDS.
Then all goes to <beep>. I might just drive it for the week and see how everything goes.

Shop,
Have you heard of any issues using the USB Ross tech cable on the C5?

Re: Camshaft Timing
Not the kind of issues you're experiencing. My cable won't talk to my HVAC 95% of the time.
Can you try another cable? Anyone local to you?
You could also try changing the communication parameters in VCDS.

Re: Camshaft Timing
I won't to catch up with Tony in the next few weeks. I will see if he minds trying his lead.
I also have a Chinese Ross Tech nock off. It doesn't see all the modules.

Re: Camshaft Timing
Does the Chinese lead cause the ECU to fault?
And what is the ECU fault exactly?

Re: Camshaft Timing
I will run it again. No fault from memory. Been a couple of years since I used it.

Re: Camshaft Timing
Hi Mate,
Here in quiet Coolamon. No problems trying with my lead. Anytime. I'll be home Thursday or Friday and then there for some time I expect. Used a full tank today touring around. A mix of metal Art
