This is probably the message you saw (localized). Had the same issue, including not being able to start. Locking and leaving the key range for a few minutes (Which gets the ECU to fully shutdown) solved it.
Hi,
currently there’s a safety recall active for the Emira. Apparently belt’s were installed incorrectly resulting in rubbing against -something-, damaging them over time. Worst case it rips when you need it the most.
Allegedly deliverys are suspended (in Germany) currently.
Lotus is...
Don't clear the codes, especially if you run into codes related to the O2 sensor. If the ECU detects it's sending bogus data it might ignore it and default to fail-safe values. Might include limp mode or rough operation, but protects the engine. At least that's the logical thing I'd expect to...
Try reading the live data using the OBD Dongle, look for Fuel Trim, and see if it reports jumps on that bank. If it does, read the live data of the O2 sensors. Mine showed faulty data there even before ECU codes were raised. "Car Scanner" for iOS (Or Mac, way easier to read) has a live data...
P0157 seems unrelated to O2 while 223D seems to be bank unspecific. It only started throwing low voltage etc when at the dealer already so I didn’t see them myself, but I was told the codes followed to the other bank when swapping. Live data also shows invalid data for the new sensor. So two...
Quick info in between:
My dealer told me Lotus is currently sending out new wiper motors. Apparently they know what cars are affected, because not everyone is scheduled for a replacement (yet?). Interestingly I wasn’t on the list but am definitely affected.
Seems like a software fix is...
Car was checked already and it’s interesting to say at least.
The new O2 Sensor is.. broken again. Lotus isn’t aware of a bad production batch, but here we are. A replacement was ordered and is due to arrive in 1-2 days.
Engine harness and ground connections were checked, as well as ECU and...
If that's the case they can downgrade, release a new version with rolled-back code (if they can't downgrade), or send me an older ECU. Don't really care at this point. If the fix takes as long as the wipers.. no thanks.
I'll not take a car back that doesn't start reliably. I can live with...
I was just updated to the latest versions on all systems on my last visit (before the issues started) and honestly I’ll not take a "clear codes and go" this time 😂
I dropped it off today and told them not to rush it, check everything throughout and we’ll see
Speaking of a weird map, anyone else with a random hole in first somewhere like 1500-1700 (guessed) rpm? Noticeable when gently accelerating from a stop with someone slow in front. Basically holds of accelerating for something that feels like a second and then pulls out of it
This time they will, I’ll make sure of that. I could imagine a bad ground somewhere. The variety of issues this time basically limits it to a ground issue, a short somewhere or an ECU fault. I won’t take the car back without a good explanation so let’s see where this goes..
Well it was fun while it lasted. Throwing new codes, limp mode, parking brake service, didn’t want to start, etc.
Guess it’s time for an ECU replacement and harness check -_-
Dropping it tomorrow for the 5th or 6th time at the dealers..
Car is back an home and, arguably, runs better than ever. Absolute smooth idling and no more hiccups. Of course my opinion is biased, but glad it got sorted relatively quickly (y)
