No crank no start
Hi lads new to the group. Got a 2020 Vivaro as a no crank no start condition. Main relay powers up you can hear everything switch on and fuel pump prime. Turn the key, nothing. When bridging starter relay vehicle just cranks but doesn’t start. Where would you go from here? Vehicle also has an adblue remap if you think that could be linked. Cheers!

@Alan Smith I’m not a technician, I install software for a living. However if a trade customer asked me to take a look, I suppose I’d like to first know the history of the vehicle and what led to it being a Crank No Start before I threw a scan tool on it. Also these are quite peculiar, disconnect the battery and they won’t start, they require locking up for 20 mins first. Finally as you say it’s been modified previously, the ECU plug requires disconnecting, they take quite a bit of work and the lever is made of the nastiest plastic, seem some cowboys absolutely muller these and break the lever, might be worth checking incase the plug has nothing holding it in place and has worked its way out a tad.

How’d you get on with this?
2004 Peugeot 606 low voltage at OBD socket
Hi, I bet I’m in the right place, just returned from a 2004 Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi. Battery support unit connected and set to 13.9V, but my Autel was only showing around 11.5V with the ignition on. Checked with a multimeter: 13.9V at the battery and 13.9V at the large main fuse/feed under the bonnet, but only 11.75V at the OBD socket. Pin 16 to both OBD earths and a separate chassis earth all gave the same reading. Turning ignition off caused the voltage to drop rise to 12.3v, despite the support unit maintaining 13.9V at the battery. Start the engine, however, and once the alternator is charging the voltage is fine. It also had a few seemingly unrelated faults, including a couple of ABS/wheel-speed-sensor faults. I didn’t risk programming it and I’m not going back to the vehicle, but has anyone come across something similar before or have any thoughts on what could cause it?
