Hello,
New in Vantage 2006 for 3 days, I have a big worry. The car no longer starts and as soon as I put the key in the ignition, I have the following messages:
--> key error
--> brake failure stop safely
--> pats error trans. not conn.
I tried with two keys and have the same message and impossible to start my car. Someone there a solution?? In advance, thank you!

Vincent

 

Ok, problem resolve!

Just for info:
1.) Move the drivers' seat forward a little bit or passager if your car is not in England
2.) (As you're facing the drivers' seat) look down in the bottom left hand corner behind the seat
3.) You'll see a tiny hole about the diameter of a smarties tube
4.) Push the button in that hole...everything will reset.

Thanks to Geordie

Glad to hear you got it fixed, Vincent. I had never heard of that problem or solution before.

 

smarties tube!

hah - i haven't had Smarties since I left Indonesia! haven't seen that stuff at stores in the US

glad to hear it's a simple fix

 

Thanks, Acabrera

In my research a have to find the entire Workshop of Aston and it's very interresting

 

my friend! i cannot find this reset button. my car is not US and not for UK market. Could it be somewhere else?

 

check the right hand side then... just above the floor, a few inches from the side... there is the "smarties" button. push and hold and it will reset.
