fault code

Anyone know this fault code

0245

Assuming you used the free code readout method to get this? Its an ABS fault with a description of "Wheel Speed Sensor Frequency Error"

So the ABS module is getting a signal, but it's the wrong signal (most likely detected as one wheel is vastly different to the others). This could be a number of things, warped rotors seems to be a common issue causing this code, alternatively there may be a damaged tooth on the rotating gear the sensor reads. As far as i know, said "gear" is housed inside the wheel hub just like the sensor itself, so you would have to replace the the entire wheel hub (ive got mine booked into the garage for a similar abs fault with a new wheel hub ready to go on)

I'm not an "expert" but there are some good mechs on here with electrical knowledge, so best wait for those guys to come along i guess before panicking about a £150+ repair bill.

I had a look and it seems to be the wastegate solenoid

Ditto to beat275

[beat275]

Ditto?

[Hue Jarse]

Agreed. P0245 Turbo/Super Charger wastegate solenoid "A" low.

Yep sorry "Turbocharger Wastegate Solenoid Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage" . google just returned the error codes for the chassis module (ABS) since ive been frantically googling for my own ABS problems. Forgot the pedal test readout only really does the powertrain module (P codes).

Might be worth a google for the full error code P0245 as thats what the diag. software would return and what most people would post up with . But as some first steps, heres what others have recommended to check:

1. EGR valve
2. Check the wiring isn't shorting
3. Check for vacuum leaks

Can't say i know enough about the stuff to help though :P

Should have mentioned that it's the z20net Garrett turbo

[beat275]

right been reading up on different forums and apparently the wastegate diaphragm for the garrett 2052 z20net is also used in some volvo models ( dont know which ones ) the part number for the diaphragm is 271801 from volvo

The turbo in my car works fine in 1st 2nd and 3rd but not in 4th 5th or 6th. Keeps cutting in limp mode. Someones bout to have had the same problem
