What does this code mean?

[sev]

Just had a mate get a computer to my abs and ecu to solve my abs lamp problem in thread: <a href="http://www.clubcalibra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26446" target="_blank">http://www.clubcalibra.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26446</a> and it came up with the following code after the old ones were cleared:

19 Brake Switch Open Circuit (on his bosch tech reader thngmy)
37: 5/TC Stop Lamp Switch - Interruption. Check Pedal Switch and Lamp. (after paperclip test)


The man is speaking to Bosch to find out what that exactly means and where I now need to focus my attention, just wanted to see if anyone here would know and what needs to be done.

Also does that code sound like it could cause my problem?

Cheers people

Sounds like your brake pedal switch is knackered. Are your brake lights working as this is a good indication if the switch isn't working.

brake lights are fine

You sure its fault code 19 as all the descriptions for that code are the relay cct. Check this site for more info <a href="http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.topbuzz.co.uk/</a>

Yea, it was definately 19 Brake Switch Open Circuit.
He must be a plum if he did it wrong as he knew the engine number (c20ne), ecu type, abs system type and all that stuff before he set up the computer to it.

I checked out that site and can't find that code anywhere. I'll do the paperclip test tomorrow and see if it reads the same.

ok done paperclip test.

reads code 37: 5/TC Stop Lamp Switch - Interruption. Check Pedal Switch and Lamp.


Advice? Goes for MOT tomorrow so please help!

Not sure what the fault can be but I've heard of people rewiring the ABS telltale up to the oil light so it'll go out and pass the mot.

[sev]

those two lamps are on a printed circuitboard......and I aint soldering that up for sure!

also the oil light stays on until the pressure is up after turning the engine on. The logical one would be the airbag telltale, which goes out simultaneously with the abs light. but again i aint soldering my instruments [img]/tongue.gif[/img]
