Boxer 986 MY2003 2.7 Vari Cam bought as a non runner.

 

SO car had water leak into footwell and damage/possible internal corrosion to loom.  Some of the common wires had been joined up (black and red).  86s on ignition circuit was dead. 

 

I have taken the car to bits and replaced the loom with a 2nd hand one. Sadly the 2nd loom is from a more basic car without stability control so different abs connector.

 

ACU and DME have been replaced and programmed with my cars options and engine.  I am using a durametic which will not currently communicate with the DME.  

 

I have errors:-

 

I32 

 

21 W lead (DME Immobiliser)

 

i48

 

21 ECM/pcm Processor

 

The steering wheel and airbags are disconnected and I have also have 21 Drivers AIrbag codes on ignition circuit.

 

Given that fault code 21 is featuring, could the faults be related?  Do the airbags need to be connected for the car to energise the w lead?

Update

 

Not been on the car much due to work and life getting in the way.  I wanted to update to help anyone else in the future.

 

A number of the faults seem to lead to the fact that the DME is not powering up.  On checking connector A car side that goes into the DME, there is no power.

 

I have a wiring issue somewhere so need to get the diagrams out.
