Tata Nano: Technical Issues & Discussions

[biplab]

Hi,

No, its not twist, it is 2012 LX model, i am the second owner.

Suggest you refer owner's manual that came with your Nano. Alternatively you may download a copy from following url. Note downloadable manual may be applicable for newer Nano.

Owner's Manual for all variants | Tata Motors Service

There is a section titled "Electrical Maintenance - Accessory Connector". You'll find provision for powering music system.

Hi Biplab,

This owner's manual is for the newer nano, the one which came with my nano does not have any section titled "Electrical Maintenance - Accessory Connector"
Any ways i orders stereo and speaker from flipkart and will take axa-assistance for fitment, will see how they will do.

Please let us know after installation is done. Wish you happy motoring with Nano. :)

Bought a 7k Run CX a month back . While it runs fine , there is jerking in First and reverse gear . I hooked up OBD to check any error and it showed P1615. I could not find what exactly the error is related to. The vehicle has been recently serviced by the first owner.
While I was going through the manual , it states that there are two electrical connectors for fog lamps one inside and one outside under the bonnet. What is the use of these connectors ? plug the fog lamps in ? then where to add a switch ?

Hi,
As much i know P1615 code is usually triggered when a not registered or damaged key is used to start the engine. Check with the first owner if he has given you the original keys or not, and you must be having 2 keys.. try using other key and check.
I am also planning to buy OBD scanner from ebay

any suggestion if these low cost OBD works fine ?

The first owner have made a duplicate key ,when they misplaced the original key. But they got the original key back. Now the car has 3 keys out of which one is duplicate and I do have all of them. But to my understanding that key was used just once or twice , and I never did use it .Will take to TASC and will ask to clear the code and will check again. But I don't know Nano have any kind of chip in key for the check.
ODB tool ,the cheaper ones are Chinese clones and they do work well in most cases .The one I use is also Chinese make by company Vgate.

There is DIY for clearing the code, if you remove the battery connector for some time all the codes will get clear, but need to do very carefully as it is below driver seat, take it to TASC and see how they do.

@biplab, thanks for the owner manual link, though the manual present in that link is for the newer version but "Electrical Maintenance - Accessory Connector" section is matching with my 2012 LX version, this section is not present in the book manual which i got.
I got the connector for music system and for reverse parking as well.
Now i am planing to install music system on my own this weekend with proper connections (tested it once and it worked with that connector), will share the details if successfully done.

I'm glad to know it helped.

Please refer page number 78 of Tata Nano owner's manual for fog lamp connector.

In CX i think there is only one stalk combination switch and no switch is provided for fog lamps. I think the connector provided outside under bonnet is for fog lamp connector and inside one is for installing switch for that, there is a dedicated space provided in both the side of dashboard to install extra switches.

Yes , But what I would like to know is that if the connectors are just input and output or is it powered and is earthed? If I just plug in the power source via a switch it should not affect other electrical stuff. So just checking if anyone has did it before.
