Title: Help required, but not for me...
Post by zoltron on 29. Jul 2006 at 14:46

I know this post don't belong on this forum, but a member on here (v6man54deg(Geffd)) needs help with some vectra ecu codes and as he is on holiday he ain't got access to a computer. The problem is his vectra while on holiday has been flashing out some codes 0550 & 0145 & maybe 0450, do these mean anything to anyone as the only codes I have found are the old 2 digit motronic codes, where as we are after the newer 4 digit motronic codes.

I don't suppose you have any more info on the car.

Is it a V6 2.5 Vectra?
Year?
ECU type?

For a Vectra B I can only find Motronic 2.8.3 and I can't find the codes mentioned.

If they're OBD2 P-codes then:

0550 Power Steering Pressure Sensor Circuit Malfunction
0145 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1 Sensor 3)
0450 Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor Malfunction

well its a vectra B (1997) P Reg 2.5 V6 but i think but hes put a newer engine in it, the codes returned are 4 digit codes and he did suspect something with the power streering so they sound about right.

The vectra power steering setup is very poor....problems are abundent in them (pumps, racks etc).
