Metronic dtr 02 box is showing the word fail on the box and wont work. what do i do?

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Cars and Trucks category.

A bit specialised for Fixya, but I just read the manual.

Scale Factor = Section 7-45 Page 295.
Change from 5.000000 to 0.000000

Or try removing the battery again for 10 minutes and replace. There doesn't appear to be a hard reset function.

check all fuses. first!!!
then scan the PCM, <<<< stated here and world wide 1million + times.
OK the dash cluster has s cute PRNDL Display
and this display is acting pure wrong that means PRNDL is failing
there are 3 technologies here (yours is last one.)

• old cars have PRNLD switch bad.
• or PRNDL on box works, but the TCM sets the gear you selected
• but the box reads back wrong (solenoid read back or pressure switches wrong)

or the IP cluster comms are failing.

i will now read the manual to you, SM service manual
and no engine told by you, (hard nut that)

4R70W , has in fact the pressure feed back sensors in the box
with EPC, it PCM tunes the pressure called line main.
so the PCM reads back what you selected
then if the pressure sensors read wrong, the display shows wrong
it means the PCM In not happy with this transmission
and only scanned it to find out why it is not happy is the only clues and cures.
and this
digital trans range
DTR sensor completes start crank circuit with transmission in Park and
Neutral, reversing lamp circuit in Reverse, and neutral sense cir-
cuit (4x4 only) in Neutral. DTR sensor also opens/closes a set of
four switches monitored by PCM to determine position of manual
lever (P, R, N, D, 2, 1)

when DTR reads wrong so will the cluster cute PRNDL indiector.
my guess to you are ignoring the CEL, check engine lamp.
driving.? (check power train lamp it really means)

Awd merc 02 ????? Mercury what ? Transmission range switch is input to the PCM . If the PCM thinks it's in gear I would look at this part . Read input data from range switch to PCM on a scan tool that can do that . Transceiver for Pats is around the ignition lock cylinder behind plastic cover ,

Go to metronic website, DO NOT buy from EBAY, they do NOT WORK!

My version is actually DTR 67500T but I did not realise that you had recorded a different model !! until too late.The shop replaced it with another box

DTR's are available everywhere. You can also go online and purchase one if your local stores do not have. Also, keep in mind that the splitter you use must comply with the signals unless you use the Video output of DTR.

well at first in wont fit because the cooling (LC) system will not fit the 02, but with a little welding and some alum works, you will be able to fit it.

the only difference will be the placing of the mount, weld holes and drill holes on the frame, but before you do so, remove all electric components from the frame.

hope this helps.

Dear Sir/Madam,



Thank you for contacting Top Up TV.



Please note that we are currently aware of an issue affecting some Thomson DTi6300 boxes.

If your DTR will not come out of standby and is not responding to your remote control, please try the following procedures.


Step 1: Power cycle
First of all, remove the power to the box and wait 20 seconds before restoring power.
Wait while the box tries to restart and allow 2 -3 minutes for this to complete.
Try this at least twice.
If it doesn't go to the solid green light then proceed to the next step.


Step 2: Front Panel Reset

Note: This procedure will unfortunately cause you to lose all of the recordings that you have stored on the box. You will need to be able access the back of the DTR and the front panel buttons

1. Remove power to the unit by removing the power cable from the back of the DTR.
2. Wait 20 seconds and restore the power cable while holding in the standby/power on button on the front panel of the DTR.
3. Release the standby button immediately you see a light 'blip' on the DTR front display and then immediately press the following front panel arrow buttons in sequence Up>Down>Left>Right
4.The DTR will now show the Orange LED with the Green LED flashing until the format has been completed in about 60 seconds. The DTR will return to ON automatically.
5. If requested, perform a channel scan to complete the operation.
