Well yes I'd rather not have to replace both
Just for my sanity this is what I'm seeing:
- Permanent fault on reader, and "Roof movement impaired" when pressing dash button with red flashing light:
A696 Hall sensor, open circuit, closing movement, rear-end module, Fault currently present, Fault currently not present
- I replaced with new the 1st hall sensor mounted at top of boot piston, long cable, yellow & brown wires, white connector. Still get the same error code & message as above:
A696 Hall sensor, open circuit, closing movement, rear-end module, Fault currently present, Fault currently not present
- If I disconnect the 1st sensor I get different message, but still referring to A696:
A696 Hall sensor, open circuit, closing movement, rear-end module, Short circuit to negative
- If I disconnect the 2nd hall sensor mounted at bottom of boot piston, short cable, red & brown wires, black connector. Instead I get different code:
A691 Hall sensor, rear-end module open, Short circuit to negative
- Plugged the old sensor into the 2nd hall sensor black connector block. No change, only get the same A696 error as before:
A696 Hall sensor, open circuit, closing movement, rear-end module, Fault currently present, Fault currently not present
Do you think this likely to be a faulty sensor, or rather a broken wire somewhere else in the harness?
