This is a weird one that started after 2 days of heavy rain (maybe coincidence)
The car will start, and initially will show a workshop emissions error and the fasten seat belt symbol. The seat belt symbol goes off when the belt is secured, and at the same time the workshop display goes away.
What is odd is that the brake light indicator on the dash display does not come on and the one by the gear shifter stays red, pressing the brake pedal does not change the light to green and I cannot put it in gear.
the check engine light, a yellow triangle with a ! and circled by an arrow headed yellow line, plus the ABS light is on constantly.
First run at this was to hook up my obdII dongle and check for errors, but no communication. Tried a pc with vagcom and still no joy.
I checked fuse #12 and it is good, as well there is power to ground from the left side of the fuse slot.
There is no power across pin 1 to 16 on the obd outlet with the ignition on
I Checked behind the firewall by the battery to see if anything in there flooded and all is draining well in there. (drain holes were cleaned out a few months back).
I am not familiar what the yellow triangle symbol is means for starters and Looking for anyone with ideas or a similar experience to this that may have a quick answer or some ideas.
I assume the ignition switch may have something to do with powering the obd port, but not familiar how that is done, ie relay or straight off the ignition switch.
Radio is factory so no k line issues. Unless I have two issues at once I doubt there is an issue with the brake switch, but will have to check just the same.
Any and all Ideas welcome to brain storm my next steps.
Thanks
