QUICK UPDATE: After driving for a week, found that all emission monitors had reset again. CEL still not illuminated. Most important, no stored or pending DTC codes in memory (no P1367). Had emission test done and it passed as expected. So all is good for now. Will update on any changes.

A Merry X ...

Have driven the car for the last few days and still no driving issues. Haven't checked again to see if there are any hidden codes or how the emission monitors are doing.

abscate,

Your right about needing to get VIDA - especially since I have this 2001 XC and a newer 2013 XC70. Also, one of my ...

Wow, that's some very specific diagnostic language ! Is that from a generic list, or specific to V70 P2 models ? Either way, Ill keep my eye on it and if it returns I'll remove the cover and check all plug connections. Don't know about #5 specifically, but on 2 or 3 of the plugs the locking tabs ...

!! DTC P1367 !!

Didn't intend to come back this soon with another post, but this one has to do with the thread's original subject. I have a Maryland emission test coming up at the end of this month. So after I received my ECM back from X and installed it, the first thing I did before even starting ...

RickHaleParker,

The term "collusion" has become rather popular these days. While I wouldn't necessarily go that far in this case, your quote on the subject may well be right on.

General Comment -

This thread my well be winding down and has served its purpose in my view. I received some good ...

Somewhat surprised you guys have been involved with BMW's. With the exception of the '89 Jag XJS V-12 that I bought from a friend(?), I've been a Volvo guy since I first could afford one - a new '75 245 DL wagon (the family used and loved that car for over 30 years). For some reason my #2 son ...

abscate,

I think you mentioned those two names in an earlier post. Despite my prior experience with the BMW outlined above, I would probably have explored going that route in some depth, but I somehow missed both yours and precopster's posts. Just one final word on the BMW experience. I didn't want ...

As promised, this is a follow up to precopster's last post:


However, first I must begin by saying the most recent posts (by mrbrian, RickHaleParker, and abscate) have taken the thread to several levels above my reckoning. As an older "nuts & bolts" guy, I will try to absorb what is being said ...

In the order received, my first response is to mrbrian200 - the second will be to precopster but that may take a separate post as it's getting late.



My first question is to ask you if you work for either company ? Just kidding !!! It's obvious that you know more about the guts of an ECM than I ...

I think your right about their capabilities, and this is where I believe the difference shows up between X's and FCP's description of their respective R&R programs. I mentioned previously that when I asked the tech why they hadn't detected a pulsed signal to #1 cyl coil pack, he said that they ...
