P0686 POWER RELAY CONTROL SHORT CIRCUIT TO EARTH OR OPEN CIRCUIT
P1169 INJECTOR VOLTAGE CONVERTER VOLTAGE MORE THAN90 VOLTS OR LESS THAN 40 VOLTS
P0562 BATTERY VOLTAGE TOO LOW
P1352 PRE POST HEATING RELAY CIRCUIT PLUGS PERMANENTLYU SUPPLIED
P1197 INECTOR CONTROL HARNESS,INJECTOR,ECU POWER STAGE

THE VAN STARTED FINE PNE DAY NO PROBLEMS,THEN WOULDNT START ,GOT TOWED TO GARAGE AND THEN STARTED, DROVE FOR A DAY THEN STOPPED AND HASNT STARTED SINCE!

Hi, and to the forum. While I cannot offer any help, something that would be useful to the experts is the VIN number. This will allow the Moderators to look up exactly what you van had when it rolled out of the factory (which helps to rule out certain errors). The forums' security software will obscure it so only Moderators can read it.

All those codes point to a power issue, low voltage or no voltage to critical components.
Check your earth wiring , the battery terminals, the connections to the relays and the under engine fuse box.

Are you positive the battery isn't end of life - it may show at 14V when the engine is running as it is being charged by the alternator - but that won't make any difference if it is not holding a charge or cannot supply enough power to crank the engine. This is the weather for failing batteries to start playing up as they require more power in the winter months to start.

Thanks for reply, I am going to check when the battery was changed!

If the battery is showing anything from 14.3 to about 14.7V when running as tested with your multimeter then you know the alternator is doing its job. If the battery is in a weakened or poor state due to end of life or won't hold a charge it can play havoc on the systems as it tries to keep everything supplied with power.

AS you also have one specific fault P0562, which means the voltage of the system is less than 6V for 2 seconds. This can cause Engine hesitating, cutting out, malfunctioning of the idle, lack of power and of course a starting problem.

The van doesn't start at all now!! Engine won't fire up! Battery has been on charge and is showing 14!

Chassis number is VF7**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff]

Is it turning over and trying to start? Or is it clicking only and not turning - or is it not turning, nor clicking?

[dawn]

Clicking,trying to fire up! Heater glow light flickers when trying to start up been told thats because it's gone into eco mode! Also tried the soft bsi reset on it and it didn't change anything!

It sounds like an end of life battery. Disconnect the charger, and measure the battery voltage with the headlights turned on.

Will have a look tomorrow, thanks again for your help

Changed the battery for a brand new battery now nothing won't even crank to attempt to start but it has gone out of eco mode!!!

[GiveMeABreak]

There are obviously some issues with the electrical system and or power relays. You really need to get it to an auto electrician to be honest - as they'll be able to check the relays and the circuits - I don't have the detailed fault codes for this variant of Siemens Injection I'm afraid.

Thanks , we have just ordered a new fuse box now with the new relays in !!!
Thanks for everyone's help!!

[GiveMeABreak]

Ok, so be aware that there can be additional relays outside the engine fuse box, but fingers crossed for you!

I have fingers and toes crossed!!! Thanks again!
