On my 32 gtst this light keeps commin on (see pic below) the owners manual doesnt say what it is, just names it 'Exhaust Gas Temperature Warning Light' and says if it continues to stay on contact a nissan service dealer! Obviously it has something to do with the tempertaure of the exhaust, just wondering if anyone knew anything about it? I have stcok exhuast! Any help would be great!!!

Cheers,

Tyson

Maybe there's something wrong with your catalytic converter?

Or the sensor isnt even plugged in?

(the sensor will be plugged in to a spot halfway along the exhaust)

Maybe get under there and have a look :pirate:

From my knowledge your O2 sensors are only on the dump pipes. Could be a third. That light does work in conjunction with the diagnotics LED on the side of the ECU so could be something to do with that. Altho it usually flashes when your in diagnostics..

The manual has answered your question. (when I went to school, "naming" something and "saying what it is" were synonymous).

It is a warning light. It means something is wrong. It even recommends what you should do - see your local Nissan dealer.

It comes about when the temperature of the exhaust gasses passing through the catalytic converter (nothing at all to do with O2 limits and closed loop operation!) reaches a certain limit (measured by a thermocouple in the converter's body). It is possible that the engine is beginning to run too lean (maybe due to dying fuel pump), or maybe the cat is collapsing and blocking the exhaust.

Go see a Nissan dealer and get it sussed out.

Do you have a Power FC?

Theres an option in the Power FC commander that has been turned on/off (I can't read Japanese) so it thinks there a problem-o.

No real conclusion when I had it, so I forgot which option it was

was just thinkin and i did make an adjustment to my idle over the weekend and did do some fine adjusting on the idle screw on the side of the ecu! Dont know much about ECU diagnostics but isnt the first mode an exhaust tempertaure mode or somethign like that? Does anybody have any knowledge in regards to that?

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
