    Error Code Help

    in VQ Series - V35, V36 & Infiniti

    Posted

    Thanks for the input guys.

    So the rescan came up with the same 4 codes. It points to a voltage issue which could stem from the grounding kit supplying higher voltage which the ECU cant deal with so the engine light comes on. Its not doing any harm to the car, its just an annoyance. So I will be disconnecting the grounding kit to see if it solves the problem.

    It would be a shame as I have noticed a difference since putting it on. Its marginal but know how the car felt and drove before and after, its not just a placebo. The factory grounding is weak, just one connection from the battery to the chassis and then a couple from the chassis to certain components. Adding this grounding kit to have connections from the battery to the engine and from there to other point and the trans has to be better right.

    A bit of background first.

    I have recently done a DIY minor service, cleaned the throttle body and installed a SxExCx grounding kit and since then the Check Engine Light (C.E.L) display constantly while driving. And when the car is given the beans, the VCD and SLIP lights come on and stay on; only on occasions, not every time which was odd.

    The car drives perfectly, no misses or leaks, gear shifts are great. It actually feels heaps better since the service/clean/grounding kit. So it is very odd.

    Please also note, I performed the ECU reset and could not clear the C.E.L.

    So today I had my car scanned and I got back 4 error codes.

    ENGINE: ign signal primary

    ABS: abnormal batt voltage

    ABS: engine signal 1

    CVT-TRANS: starter relay circ.

    The codes were deleted/reset but the engine/slip/VCD light came back on while driving home. I will be taking the car back for another scan and a better look into any of the problems.

    Does anyone know what would be causing these problems and how to fix them? Any advice would be great.

    Cheers,

    Thanks for the into Dreadnaught.

    I have used Plasti dip on my roof and wheels with a good deal of success. And if your after a new but temporary look I highly recommend it. Cost is a bit pricey, but Caswell on EBay have wheel kits (4 cans) for around $110 shipped.

    Am looking at the Blaze green for my next wheel colour :)

    Mayo, you say you don't want too low, and then say a 1"-2" drop is nice. Let me guarantee you that if you have crap roads like we do here in Adelaide, then a 2" drop is WAY too much and you will bottom out your front bar lip (if you have a Nismo copy one like mine) and exhaust on everything. I am so jacked off at my springs that I am going to go back to 350Z springs when I come across some.

    I wasn't to sure how much drop I would get with some of the set ups I was looking at. So the 1-2 inch drop was a guesstimate. I don't want to go back breaking low, so if you say 2" is like that then I will take your word for it and aim a little higher (pun intended.lol). Like the 350Z springs you also have your eye put for. Thanks for the advice.

    I've got Eibach pro kits waiting to go on 1.1'' drop all round which will be perfect for me as a daily drive. S-Techs i think go lower to a 1.5'' drop roughly same price. I am investing in coils soon though.

    Yeah I don't want anything to low. A nice 1-2inch drop is just nice. How much are the Eibach or S-Techs priced at?
