 Out of the blue car fault log came up with ESP/ASR faulty
air bag seat belt faulty
ABS braking system faulty
Hand brake faulty.

Time for Lexia a quick check and needless to say a load of fault codes cancelled them and re read the dialogue and most faults still the same as before.
This could be enough to call it a day with the cost of what was showing.

Time to see what Snap-on shows just one major fault (c1330) Front right wheel speed sensor signal electrical fault open circuit to positive, short circuit to earth.


Car diagnosis showing.



Lexia faults + more showing.

I then had auto box ECU faulty, electric hand brake fault.

Enough of this, time to do another Snap-on live data with a short drive.

Confirmed just one fault showing Ft RH speed sensor.

Replaced with a spare and a road test and all is well.

Hope this DIY solves the complicated Lexcia or it may be my setup!







Cannot figure out why Lexia can be so time consuming and showing incorrect diagnosis.

 For a C6 you should forget the lexia app and only use Diagbox.

Most of the errors will be communication errors triggered by the ABS module having a fault with one sensor. It effectively tells all the other ECU's not to rely on me for info and the other ECU's say "Oh I can't work properly without you. I better tell the driver I'm not playing"
