Default secs monitor readings

hi

ive got a 2wd saff cos that is fitted with a secs monitor and every now and then i get some random info flashing up on the screen saying that the temps top high and map faulty this is mainly after some hard right foot driving.

all sensors and map have been changed, but still the same

dash temp gauge just sits above half way

what can be causing this?

any help would be great

cheers

Could be the sensor plugs m8,my map sensor plug was faulty and caused an alarm on the secs monitor now and again.

Check the connection at the back of the lcd screen

Mine kept throwing up random errors, had a chat with simon

Just simply unpluging and pluging the lead back in solved the errors

Longer leads are not avalible matey

It's just a case of fingers cut to fuck doing the job

But a tight fit to insert back in
