whats it do steaky? something to do with airbags?

[zooky08]

Lately my Jimny has been idleing like crap and the check engine light comes on.
Also I remember the other week I disconnect to battery to get some wires through the fire wall.
So I'm guessing I cleared all my codes, how do I get them back?

[Moag]

Get the code and post it :hello:
If it still has a problem, it will come back.
Its OK to leave the little bridge wire in and keep driving around for a week .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .. .. means its got no simple codes.

Removing the Dome light fuse will clear your codes to, from memory.

Hey guys, my 02` jimny isnt starting, i read thru this thread, found the engine light code trick and got it to work, it came up with 23, (two flashes followed by three flashes) is this the air temp sensor?

From experience it will run without it

[vaso]

damn, just tried it again while trying to turn the motor over and the same code again, tho i did hear a quick burst of clicks.....any ideas, the burst of clicks only happen once / turn of the key, drove it home this arvo fine, hour later it wouldnt start :S

[steak_knife]

is it a M13??
does it sound to be winding over quicker that normal??

[vaso]

from my limited understanding its an M13A - 2002 JX jimny........
i should have mentioned the starter motor isnt even turning this is the obvious problem but i was wondering about other problems
thanks for the quick replies btw

[steak_knife]

with the click's, did the dash light's flicker at the same time???

Sound's like you have a dead battery mate....

[vaso]

no flickering, i have tried jump starting it also

checked all the fuses and they are fine, radio turns on, head lights turn on

[steak_knife]

Do you know what the starter look's like??

You could try tapping it & hitting the key at the same time ( 2 people make this easier.)

[vaso]

well im giving up for the night, cant find anything loose or broken :S

[zukenutter]

clicking sounds like not enough battery power to throw the starter motor solenoid, when you say jump starting do you mean roll the car and pop the clutch while in gear, or do you mean connect another car's battery to yours?

[vaso]

Ive tried connecting another car for 10 min while it was running to see if that helped - it didnt, i managed to push start it down a small hill this morning, any thoughts?

Once started does it run properly? Have you tried starting again after a good run?

[vaso]

yep ran fine, didnt start again once i turned it off

[monley]

My guess is also a stuffed battery

[vaso]

would it not be the starter motor? the battery seems to be able to handle aircon, radio and lights while running, also wouldnt it have started when i used the jumper leads to another car?
dont get me wrong, it would be great if it was just the battery....

Stop by an auto electrician, he'll test the voltage and then you know.
It could be mud and crap in the starter but 90% it'll be the battery. Starter cranking takes a lot of battery power, A/C etc not so much.

I had a similar issue as to what your describing....replaced the battery...never been a issue sense! Can you take your battery some where to get tested?
