faults found! - help please (03 LCR)

[m.r.davies]

hi

just scanned the car after recieving delivery of my cable and i've got 2 faults

17704 P1296 Cooling system malfunction
18010 P1602 Power Supply (B+) Terminal 30 Low Voltage
these are codes i've looked up on the forum,

Vag Com actually says this:
17704 - Error in Mapped Cooling System (usually temp Sensor or Thermostat)
P1296 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent

The intermittent bit doesn't sound to bad, but how intermittent is it? could this error happened once or twice and never happened since? is there a way of finding out?

anyway i'm a newbie at all this so any advice appreciated in sort it
Cheers
Mark

anyone?

Is it a good idea to clear these codes, and then monitor it to see if they appear again ?

is that possible? is it easy to do

Thanks in advance!

I think you get the low voltage error if you disconnect the battery, may be some one can confirm this. I would make a note of them and then clear them and watch to see if they return.

Yes. Clear the codes. They both are intermittent in nature so they most likely will not recur.

is it easy to do?

Button on the fault code screen for the module will clear the codes. Yes. It is easy to do.
