Hi the dreaded eml has come on with only a month to go before the mot :doh, the codes are 36. 73. 86. 15 I think, thanks for any help in advance
 
Check the download section in quick links as there’s a guide to reading the codes but it also contains a table of fault codes.
 
Hi 36 is EGR Control-Back pressure transducer. 73 not in my list. 86 is ECR solenoid malfunction. 15 says Fuel quantity adjuster position sensor malfunction, so think as two are re the EGR this could be your problem area, think for the moment I would disregard 15, but as this is a 3 it may not correspond completely to the older codes, Rayf is your man on this one, Rick
 
Thanks
the eml isn't on from cold it comes on after 5 or 10 minutes but only on stop start journeys, if I take it on a run it doesn't come on until I stop at a set of lights etc.
the strangest part is that with the eml on it uses less fuel, will clear the codes tommorrow just to see which ones are still relevant
 
I do know these engines suffer inlet manifold crudding, so my first job would be remove and clean, Rick
 
still having trouble I have changed the EGR, and now the fault codes have changed to 15 47 73 87 , trying to avoid a trip to a garage but starting to get worried:nenau
 
15 is fuel quantity adjuster position sensor - circuit malfunction

47 CKP sensor - incorrect signal

73 I have no info

87 brake pedal position switch malfunction

I will see if I can find any info on 73, I have it on another list but clearly unrelated to a 3 Terrano, Rick
 
From what I have dug up 73 seems to be related to the inbuilt ECU in the IP, so check the pump connecting block and all the earth connections to the engine, specially the small ones, but the pump ECU is a known fail on age grounds, if you can get hold of Rayf #### on here he is your man, Rick
