Had a berlingo for a few months, and it's been going like a charm, doing 40-50 miles on a charge, but this morning, the ECU fault lamp lit up while driving (was doing about 50mph on the dual carriageway at the time). Is this going to be an auxilary battery problem?
I had to rush to catch my train, so I havn't had a chance to investigate, but it would be useful to know where to start looking.
Electrical fault light - possible causes?
When was the last time you changed your motor brushes or watered your batteries?
The latest version of EVlite can do some diagnosis of ECU faults. It can also clear the fault memory.

this is a point that I made very clearly to the people that supplied me with the van! Inspection of the brushes is definitely on my list of things that are worrying me at the moment, but it's not a trivial task is it?
Are worn brushes likely to cause this error? It's not exhibiting any of the other symptoms of worn brushes.

OK, I've decided to garage the poor thing until I can solve this problem.
plugged in the evlite, the overcharge counter is at 290AH, not 18 (my memory isn't very good is it which is still well short of the 850AH official overcharge, and still short of the 500AH overcharge that is reccomended by berlingo bods.
I ran the "read faults" menu option, an it returned E0 Q0. Q0 is listed in the evlite guide as:
Clean dust from around motor brushes, clean around fuse
holders and check for damaged battery cables.
If fault persists, check motor field insulation resistance
I think I'll check the brushes as the top priority, might be asking for help on this one!

Remove the fuse behind the axillary battery.
There's a black pastic inspection hatch at the bottom of the motor. It on the driver side of the motor. There 2 bolts holding it in place. It has a rubber seal. I think it has the Leroy Somer Logo in it too.
I usually drive my van up onto 2 solid concrete blocks to give me more room, but you could also park the van up on curb.
Remove the cover, you'll be able to see 1 of the brushes. The brushes are held in with a spring clip.

I thought I'd update you on this... Basically the brushes are fine, but the warning light comes on after being reset, generally when I'm doing about 50mph on the dual carriageway.
The vehicle drives fine, no reduction in performance and range.
I'm just wondeing if driving it on the dual carriageway jiggles one of the fuses, and causes a momentary interruption in supply, or something like that.
