How do you know nothing is wrong with the car...that's what the warning symbols do..warn you!

Do a diagnostic check by pulling out the consult plug under the right hand side change pocket thingo. Turn the ignition to ON, short the two pins that are on the right hand top side of the plug on their own (for 2 seconds) remove the short and count the amount of times the check engine light flashes = error code.

Sounds like you've got a problem with the boost sensor or unplugged TCS servo motor

Is your car running fine?

I had that problem once after a service (changing the plugs). Car was absolutely fine though. The next time i started the car it went away. I then also resetted the ECU though just in case, no problems now.

I remember reading that those lights are usually a sign of coil pack failure. As 666Dan said, you need to find out from the error codes what the problem is.

However if the car is running fine, I am guessing its nothing and that itll prob go away.

Cheers

You need to do a search for error codes

If I recall correctly, 2 long flashes followed by 1 short one means 21

And 21 = iginition problems = usually coil packs?

I'd say give resetting ur ECU first to see if that clears any errors, and see whether the error pops up again.

Those lights would usually indicate something to do with the traction control or throttle position sensor. Check the plugs in that area are all firmly plugged in for a start.

Easy way to test if the TPS is adjusted right is using a consult cable but you could manually reset it if you know what you are doing.

mine had these similar lights come on intermittently some time ago...car was running fine...got it checked at mechanic with a scan tool..and it was a faulty O2 sensor...replaced tht..all good. Most reputable mechanics have the scan tool now so it would be much better to just bring it in if ur not too sure bout shorting things.

  • 3 weeks later...

This is definitely not a good thing if all the lights are going on... after my SAFC2 install, this was happening as well (intermitantly - maybe 1 time a week).

Car would run really crap and required a restart in order to get it good again!

Double checked all the wires from the SAFC2 and tucked the loom back very very neatly, problem solved. This was my solution, may not be yours!

I have had a problem with the hicas light coming on when its raining and the sytem goes dead. I refitted all the plugs and sprayed them with lanosol, fixed the problem for a year when it happened again I resprayed them and it worked straight away. I dont think this is your problem though, just a heads up on nissan looms.

I dont know where i would start on this problem anyway.........

Would reseting the ECU effect the settings on the SAFCII?

I dont know anything about the wiring on the SAFCII so id be lost on this one.

Guess ill just follow the wires back and check all i can.

ahehaehahehaehahe

i still have this problem...

i tried to restart the ECU but it didnt work....

it normally comes on when it just starts to get warm, usally when the water temp goes up.....

i did a diagnostic Check when i brought it to the machanics and he scanned it and it read's 21

Ignition signal circuit - No consecutive ignition signal while the engine is running <-------- WTF????

the machanic dosent seem to have a clue either.... so as i have check im going to bowwor a friends coil pack to see if it the problem... or im going to do a service this week anyways so sparkie will be changed so i hope everything will be fix from there onwards.....

yeah sure i will let you know of the outcome...

it dosent really effect the performance much but i cant tell theres somthing wrong with it....

like for eg it takes more time to boost well not that long but compared to what it was before...

and when i change gears when i let go of the clutch its like a sudden jerk!!!

i dunnoo maybe its be or my heads plaing games....

r32_Gts4

yeah you cant resett the ecu urself really easy...

just take out the negative from your batt...

turn on you lights, high beam and all

then let it sit for 30 mins and then put the Negative back and then there you go its resstted...

but didnt work for me... well it did for like 1 or 2 hours it didnt come back then after it came back again.

Edited by ZERO

ok i had a full engine services on the weekend...

such as oil, and sparkies

anyways... the problem still comes up and its pissing me off... cause i knoe i have to spend $700 on coil pack when it could go towards to something else.

anyways im going to check if it coil packs and i will then again let you know it the problem still continues....

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
