Dashboard lit up like Christmas tree


Recommended Posts

Got in my car this morning and started the engine fine, drove for no more than two miles and a beeping started, the abs light and the handbrake light lit up and then beeping continued, I've checked oil level and it's fine, can't see any obvious leaks however the engine light has now lit up also. Any help would be appreciated, trying to track down a obd reader.

Plugged it into obd reader and it's reading code P0600 - serial communication link malfunction . Related to the electronic control module and one of the supporting modules.

Why do I have a feeling this is going to be expensive trying to find the fault in the ECM

Ill test the alternator at some point this week, however i got in the car yesterday morning and the light for engine management was still on but no beeping.. when i finished work the light had turned off and no beeping. its only beeped once in the last 50 miles. seems strange for this to just solve itself.

beeping is usually a sign of the oil pressure being low, but the switches are notoriously unreliable.

Check your oil level though.
