i have a similar issue with my 2.2 eu5 intermitant dash warning lights there for a while the gone again and then back over a few days then maybe good for a week, dash ok and vehicle runs ok

Great find hope you were rewarded well ££££... . Dealer would have chucked all sorts of parts at this fault.

[@SYDiagnostics]

Errmm, I'm a dealer tech ..lol Unfortunately the customer will feel it shouldn't have failed and that I'm expected to fix it. So it's just another job, onto the next when it comes in.

Great video, where would that gateway plug be located on U.S. model t350 pass…

[@SYDiagnostics]

If it has one, im not familiar with US vehicles. As a rule it'd be connected to the diagnostic connector as one unit. But some vehicles I've seen, the gateway module is remote (mustang)

[@martinthorz2983]

Great work, well impressed :) the whole story shows that great technology still needs the support of common sense. Rubber grommet (5p worth);on the hole where the harness passes through the strut or more resilient sleeve on the loom added by Ford designer at the drawing desk would probably save more than few break downs. Great investigative work, very educating. I just wonder what is going to happen to the world when our generation of people who are used to putting effort and passion into whatever they do dies out ;), well done, mate!!!

Thanks Ivan, it's great to have you here

[@lewisthomas8260]

Awesome video, just a quick question when the CAN failed did you check the signal at the OBD port and was it showing the same short? Just wondering if they are truly linked through the gateway As I was under the same understanding as you that testing at the obd is no longer possible as the gateway is it's own can network and is separate from the rest of the CAN, I work at a nissan dealership so maybe be slightly different I dont know but seems the same idea to stop people from messing with the network from the obd port

[@SYDiagnostics]

Hi, yes at all times i had the breakout box connected . The HS1 on 6&14 where not flashing, when I found the issue they started flashing. Testing 6&14 on VAG vehicles is only testing a diagnostic can. So these B.O.B are pretty much useless on VAG

Have you ever had the this fault on a ford transit custom 2014 .. ignition and dash works just won’t start . Changed starter motor, clutch pedal switch. Checked all fuses and fuses in battery compartment, cleaned earth points behind passenger headlight and still no joy have no errors in dash ? Am lost with it 😂

[@SYDiagnostics]

multiple similar faults on transit (2.2 i presume), a hard one to help with without experiencing it. But have you got feed to the starter? the starter relay is controlled via the pcm, can be viewed on live data

[@ashsmith6397]

Hi thanks for replying. Yes have power to the starter relay. Also have check the key ignition and that’s working fine also . I have been told the bcm is not communicating with the ecu ? Not sure what this means . But van was working fine went to it in the morning and have this problem 🤦

[@Coombsly]

Terrible construction

[@Elconbrioso]

Good Friday night, and I've just gobbled down a decent portion of coronation chicken, complete with Pitta bread . Got to wait a while for afters . Whilst waiting, I've decided to log onto SY Diagnostics for a masterclass . SY diagnostics - bring on the Geek talk . Pud was ready half way through and so I didn't to the end, but I caught something about a spilt fizzy drink on the dash, and I am surmising that the Phosphoric acid (or what ever ) in the drink was to blame for the problem. There's no telling what havoc could have been wreaked with a can of Iron Bru ! As the motor car has greatly increased in complexity - so to, the ingenuity required to get to the bottom of faults and breakdowns.

[@SYDiagnostics]

😂 I'm afraid it wasn't the fizzy drink.... Nor was it Mrs White with the candlestick in the library

[@Elconbrioso]

@@SYDiagnostics I jumped the gun , got ahead of myself - trying to be smart . I will log onto the second half, tomorrow - when the effects of the Coronation chicken and the Rioja have subsided

[@fatheadchrisn]

Well found, great video. When you were looking at the CANs with the scope, had you the gateway disconnected so you could put the pins into the plug direct?

[@SYDiagnostics]

I have made a break out box for the gateway unit. Alternatively you can back probe thd connector. Some networks can be accessed via the obd plug

[@fatheadchrisn]

i'm not impressed with fords build quality, they were always known as Fix-Or-Repair-Daily in my day, but after viewing many of your vid's this cam bus system coupled with the poor multiplug design issues it's got worse to my mind, i got a 2014 connect LTD im trying to sort after it died with the no start issue i put it into a local auto electrics firm who said the BCM was screwed ( by the way they never got it running ) so dragged it back to mine and left it took battrey lead off as precaution , went back to it a fortnite later to see if i could find anything put lead back on throttle body started to wind up im thinking will this start now and it did i'm now doing a shearlock holmes on this now to track down the fault and where it could be , got a few ideas from watching your vid's and on it goes' cheers ............

[@powayimports4175]

Honestly great job. I would have had a tough time going farther back after the A pillar cover changed the signal.

[@leeperry1525]

I have a problem with my 2.2 2014 custom. Sometimes starts, sometimes doesn't give me ignition lights, sometimes the clocks don't even light up on door opening. Radio/interior lights/hazards etc always work. Very intermittent. Worried it could be bcm but think it's more likely to be a short somewhere like in video. Good job, wish me luck 😮

Hi Steve im writing from italy and i bought a ford custom flooded,i've clean and lubed every connections,inside the van everything is working but not the instrument panel and tachograph and also not crancking like yours. 12v coming under those correctly and fuses are good,i was thinking if the obd module didn't work could i have these issues?

Thanks for showing a true process and all the dead ends it lead you merry dance but you were determined to beat it Well done! Ive got one right now that is saying “immobilser active see hand book” and on live data the key is “not present “ 2014 model also a dtc “battery relay B closed” and another “battery relay B open” lots of green verdigree on the pins in the bcm that go to the key reader but the cables appear to be good - no resistance. So ive popped open the BCM and someone has already carried out repairs to the board and it has been ok for about a year under the present owner but I wonder if some of the fuse pins are “dry”

As you know Ford wants wants too much money for the gateway breakout box and was also thinking of how to rig the regular breakout box to check the other data lines but you already did it :).....

The fault is intermittent though. I got it back yesterday after 7 weeks and told the plug in found no faults, addBlue says half full. So, i just have to 'keep an eye on it'.
