Understanding some ECU fault codes


Shibe

Recommended Posts

Long story short:

driving home from a 3 hour drive, driving up hill on a motorway, wound up some boost and the car surged forward awkwardly, slowed up and went into limp mode (TC off light, check engine light, SI drive light flashing etc) 

cleared the lights with 5 stop starts. Car has been driving fine, but I quickly and luckily got my car scanned 5 mins later. These codes came up:

 

Engine Control System:

1: P0244: Turbocharger waste gate solenoid a range/performance(High Input)

 

DTC 

Brake control system 

1: C0057 VDC control interruption because of engine instructions 

2:  C0047 Improper CAN communication 

 

Obviously I need to check and properly diagnose something to avoid P0244 again, but what exactly?

 

im guessing the brake control system codes are the ECU’s reaction to the first code?

That code and going up hill in a high gear is usually over boosting. 
Ie the waste gate and solenoid range isn’t enough to keep the boost at target. 
 

 

maybe 57 is due to limp mode but 47 could be anything. 

 

Ah right. So is this any indication or a bad solenoid, or bad connection, maybe solenoid needs cleaning? 
Come to think about it, I was in fourth gear and just planted it.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
