Hey guys,
I've got a very current issue, I'm sitting in the car trying to figure it out right now.
In short, the car doesn't want to start. It isn't the battery or the starter, but it does feel like an electronic issue.
Before turning off the car as I came to park, a bunch of lights came on the dash.
ABS
Brake System
Traction control
Power Steering
Brake Light flashing
At the moment, the car will not engage the parking brake.
This car is an auto to manual swap, however I want to mention that the car has been operating just fine for the last two years. It has an SI transmission and manual hatchback ECU. However this has happened once before, but sort of solved itself. I wasn't able to trouble shoot as the issue just went away.
A couple of questions:
For the FK7 Manual ECU, will the car start in gear, or is there a sensor that detects what gear you're in and prevent you from starting even if the clutch it disengaged?
The red anti-theft light is blinking when I try to crank over the car. Is there a lockout to prevent it from starting if it thinks there was a theft attempt?
Lastly, are there any modules/devices in the car that are designed to prevent it from starting.
My current thought process is:
The car thinks it's in gear and doesn't want to start.
The brake system is freaking out and preventing the car from starting.
If anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears.
