1996 X300 codes
Hi guys,
I posted a thred about having starting issues with my x300. Ive got the battery light on aswel as cheak engine, the rpm stays at 0 while cranking. The fuel pump is working aswel as the crank sensor.
Does anyone know how i can get error codes up? And how to wipe them.
Any help welcome.

Why do you think that your crank sensor is working? A tach showing zero rpm during cranking is in fact a pretty good sign that the crank sensor is defective.

On LHD cars it's under the dash by the driver's right knee. Not sure about RHD cars, so look by your left knee and if not loo at the passenger side. It's a big white plug, you can't miss it

Time for some troubleshooting. Have you plugged in a code reader yet?
If you have a voltmeter and the electrical guide in hand, we can help you to check likely problem areas.
Just changing parts will become quite expensive and probably won't solve the problem.
You can download the electrical guide for free at jagrepair.com

Hi
Just to add to the conversation... I just took some pictures of the OBDII interface connector. On LHD X300 it's located on the RHS of the driver's side under the steering wheel dash on the side above the accelerator by the ski slope. It will be obvious. See the picture attached.
Be aware leaving the Reader connected can drain your battery so be sure to unplug after use
I hope this helps
Good luck let us know how you do.

As Allen says, it is time for some diagnostics. In case what that means is not clear, let me lay it out AS I SEE IT. Others might have different methods.
1) I would use my ohmmeter to measure the resitance of the CKPS. I think the correct value is about 200 ohms, but someone will step in to help, or find it in the archives, or I can find it later.
2) If the value looks good at the sensor, then use the schematic to find the ECM pin numbers and test the sensor connections there. If it is not withing a few ohms of the previous measuremnt, find the wiring problem.
3) Read the OBD codes and post them.
4) Use the schematic to find the 12 volt input(s) (referred to as B+ in another thread!) of the ECM, and either back pin the connector or remove the connector and assure the voltage is there. Look for corroded terminals while you are at it.
At this point, I suspect you will have data that gives a clear picture of where to go next, so post it and we will help from there.

Dave,
Ross is right on with his suggestions. I would add just that it might be worthwhile to double check that the crank sensor plug is correctly and fully seated in the harness socket. Sometimes if these connectors are not pushed all the way home until they click, they work their way loose.
