Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Gday, I have a 92 maverick petrol now on dual fuel. When i turn the ignition I sometimes get a flashing ~13 times of the power light on the dash when running on petrol (haven't seen it yet on gas). What does it mean? Car does idle a bit roughly at lower revs.

Also is there anyplace to get the meaning of these error codes as a reference, it's nowhere to be seen in my service manual.

Thanks very much, I've searched but cant find this on any of the forums and i'm not much of a mechanic.

just to clarify - the title of my post was chopped off. This error happens when turning on the ignition (starting), not on turning the steering wheel.

Hmmmm, what it sounds like is that the RPM (or UPM if you read german) is too low for the alternator to generate enough electrical current than what is being consumed.

I would not worry about this, this used to happen in my escort on start up.


I bet if you rev it up it goes away quickly and once it is warm it doesn't do it at all...


I wouldn't be worried too much, if you think it is the begining of an alternator going, get a new alternator. Thats the worst I believe it could be!

.......And another thing!

How many Chris' own a maverick!!!

The guy I baught my maverick off is also a Chris.

My mate with a black maverick nearby also is Chris.


I'm going to take a poll!

You have a fault with the auto trans or computer. You need to check the fault codes and go from there. My guess would be TPS as that is very common, and it is quite often an intermitent fault to start with.

had the workshop manual for this prob as mine does it also. came up being the tps on mine.

my power light also flashes, but only since I have put in the switch to lock the torque converter...
