Hi, the relays are integrated into the ETACS, which is plugged into the fuse box at D212 as shown circled in the picture below. If replacing the ETACS does not solve the problem, please get back to me.

NOTE: In order to perform a meaningful diagnosis, it is necessary to utilize either a code scanner or code reader. A test light, ohmmeter, digital voltmeter, vacuum gauge and jumper wires may be required. You do not need any of the aforementioned items to inspect vacuum hoses, wiring, or disconnected plugs or adapters.

There is no such thing as one fix fixes all. Be forewarned that some repairs require ripping things apart and extensive testing, repairing or replacing items, This possibilities require a modicum of skill, patience and more. It's always best to take your vehicle to your service center.

Before undertaking any repair or diagnostic work, be sure to inspect wiring for proper connection, burned or worn/chafed spots, and cuts. The connectors to the EGV tend to corrode and the wiring breaks because of the heat.

Be sure to check hoses that are hard to see beneath the air cleaner, compressor, alternator, etc.

THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTE: Scan the system again after the vehicle is running. The reason is that non-related codes can be detected after the engine is running because sometimes false codes can be triggered by the engine not running. Once the engine is running again the code present might cycle and turn itself off. You might say "if the engine doesn't run shouldn't it have a trouble code?" Sometimes conditions occur that will not be detected by the computer. For example: if the fuel pump fails the computer cannot detect the failure, so the engine doesn't start and the computer thinks everything is okay with no codes. If no trouble codes are present proceed to the next step.

If you have trouble using the code scanner or interpreting the codes click on the following link and use my access code (carrepair): Free Automotive Repair information for Users of a Code Scanner

All the best

if your sure the cooling system is full than i wouldn't be surprised if you had a head gasket that has failed.

This would explain the water noise, and overheating.

With the engine cold remove the radiator cap, start the vehicle and let it idle. continue to monitor the coolant level in the radiator. top it off if it gets low. If you see a constant perculation of air bubbles coming out of the radiator than the head gasket is bad.

Sometimes you can also smell the radiator or the overflow. If it smells like exhaust than the head gasket is leaking. I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa

Hi
That's the signal that your alternator is not giving or charging the battery.
Better go to your nearest auto electrician and check the battery charging, specifically the alternator.
Alternator is the one that charges your battery and giving power to the whole electrical equipment in your car, thus the check engine lights up to tell you that it has a low electric power.
Hope that helps you.
Thanks for using FixYa!

The fuse for your tail and dash lamps is "dedicated fuse" #2 in the engine compartment fuse and relay box. It is a 10 Amp fuse. (see picture)

Please also review this article:
Where's The Fuse?

In most cases that is what's going on with your car, if questionable, you may want to turn on your A/C to see if the problem worsen. If so, you may want to tighten up the lose belt or take it to a local shop if you're not comfortable doing it yourself.

1997 - 1999 should all be the same. the fuse you need is located in the fuse panel inside the vehicle. Below is a diagram of the fuse panel layout. The fuse for the turn signals will be the one in the number 6 position and should be a 10 amp fuse (red). I hope this helps and good luck.

when i change engine oil in pajero 2800?
please give chart?

this sounds like a loose or worn belt possibly a belt tensioner also that needs attention.sometimes if a bearing gets bad like an alternator bearing can make a noise.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

It is located in the inlet tube of the evaporator, or in the liquid line, somewhere between the outlet of the condenser and the inlet of the evaporator.

Hi, if you have full pressure (40-50 PSI on low pressure side with engine running A/C set to maximum and blowing) you have enough pressure, but there is air in the system which degrades the refrigerant leading to no cold air. To remedy this, you must completely discarge the system and refil with new R134a which has the compressor/system oil added to it.
To discharge the system, shut off motor, attach your filler hose to low pressure valve and allow system to drain. (squeeze handle if you have that type filler hose) Allow it to drain until no sound of escaping air is present. Be careful not to have the end of hose facing you or others, wear gloves and have some shop rags laid down, pointing nozzle toward rags, that stuff can damage paint and skin and may be cold when escaping. After system has completely drained, start the refil process with engine running, A/C on maximum, blower on full. After about 1/2 of the first can of R134a or 1 full can, your compressor should kick on. Continue refilling with 3-4 cans total (about 3 LBS total) until you have a reading of 45 or so PSI. After each can, allow refrigerent to cycle through the system about 3 minutes to obtain an accuret pressure reading. Pressure is relavent to outside temperature also, optimumly the ambient air temp. outside vehicle should be between 72 and 80 degrees F. for proper reading. That should get you blowing cold air again!

hi - there is no p4056 code put if you meant P0456
that Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Very Small Leak Detected.
check all vacuum hose for cracks& evaporate canister

Hello
The engine and the transmission of this vehicle are controlled by a computer called the PCM, whenever a fault like this occurs it either the system has low voltage (cause of the ABS and other warning light to come on) or a fault has occurred in the electronics. Based on what you said about the problem you will need the battery load tested and the charging system checked for proper voltage output, A properly functioning Alternator should put out at least 13.2 volts. But first and most important is that the batter be properly tested on a load station after charging, most auto parts stores in the USA like Kragen and Autozone do this charging system test and battery test for free, I have no information on any other country about free testing, but no matter the tests must be run. Charging up the battery and just checking the voltage is not a reliable test.

I don't know what engine you have,but most
people who can't find spark plugs are unaware
the the ignition coils have to be removed to get to them
