Triptonic gearbox query

Stan · 09-04-2007, 21:11

Hope someone can shed some light on a problem I have encountered with my auto gearbox and the multidot display. Here goes. I start the engine and the top part of the display(with the radio station/track No) goes red and none of the gear display lights up so no P R N D 1 2 3 4. Try turning off and on again same thing. Tried this several times on a 40 mile round trip no joy. put the car on the drive leave it for a couple of hours start it up and its back to normal. Has this happened to anyone ? do you know what it means ?and will they be able to see it as a fault code at the dealer ?

Thanks in advance

There was a technical bulletin on that a while back, I had to do my guv's old car.

IIRC just a simple reprogramming of the dash sorts it out.

Thanks for the reply. Dealer said that no fault was stored but if it happened again they would replace the display

Fair enough but all they need to do is sort the coding.
