Hello,

Typically those are old stored faults. Most occur because of low battery function. Erase the codes, have the batterys properly load tested and keep the batterys on a maintainer. Now once all the steps mentioned are accomplished drive a few days and re-scan. A weak and under charged house battery causes spurious trouble codes and unnecessary anguish. All this has been covered on this forum in the past.

Thanks @1eapplebaum for your reply.

It had a large list of things done at Bentley not too long ago, so you could be right, but I'm getting the TPMS warnings and Levelling Warning (both orange) in the dash right now. I bought Autel new TPMS for the 21's as the originals are on the 19's I have for winter wheels, but they don't seem to be syncing with the car which is strange as they are activated by the garage when fitted so I was told 50k and they should sync all good.

I did store the logs before erasing the DTC's yesterday anyway as per your post so I'll give the car a run today then go for another scan. I don't have the ability to get a battery conditioner on the car as it's stored outside atm in a shared parking area at our summer place.

Guess I was also interested in what the definitions are of:

1. Short to ground
2. Open Circuit

Hello @CUE99T ,
As to the TPMS, be sure that you purchased the correct units for your 2004, as there is a design change cutoff date, 2003 to May of 2005, and June of 2005 forward.
Others here have had this issue of non syncing because of purchasing the wrong item for their year vehicle.

Johnny

@Johnny Hotspur GT this is what I bought as I couldn’t get those vales delivered to Andorra and I was getting the Rosstech from these guys so made sense to try them. Programmable 433mhz vales. Thoughts?

my build sheet says 433mhz TPMS installed. My only fear is the garage didn’t activate them when fitting them.
