Hi Guys,

Long story short. Had a starter go bad, car was doing nothing, hit the starter, then is started making a thud (solenoid), replaced it, battery was off for a few days, now I get error 2F44.

Car is cranking, but IMMO stopping start.

I have INPA. I am a coder/programmer by trade, but need confirmation before I go further on the INPA menu:

769696

I need to resync the EWS. I am unsure which option to choose on the above screen. All INPAs are different aren't they so it can be confusing.. Shift + F6 I think, but will that then show another menu then offering to resync?

I don't want to brick anything and don't think I want Shift F7, because there is nothing wrong with the CAS. The fob is locking/unlocking the car and releasing steering lock.

I am also going to setup ISTA, and DIS, so any pointers with any of these would be much appreciated!

Also got Tool32, will resetting the ELV's also cure this problem?

Thanks

Shift F7 if car has a CAS.
Shift F6 if car has EWS.
if either of the above errors out, try the other one
Then usually F2.
