R34 Auto A/t Light

[AlexR34]

Hey guys tonight i had my r34 A/T light come on i turned the car off and back on and it went away, anyone know why it night have happend. It came on when i was driving in d about 10kph and then put it in netural and reved it to about 4rpm thats when i noticed it.

Any reason for it to be on and i dont know whens the last time the oil was changed in the gear box im about to do that this saturday anyway.

You could run a diagnostic to be sure, a likely cause is a faulty shift solenoid which ill progressively get worse and finally lock the car in 3rd gear

Hi AlexR34, I have the same problem too. How did you go with fixing the problem? mine was diagnosed and found the Shift Selenoid B is faulty. Is your too?

Would like to know too how to diagnose and change a shift solenoid.

Btw, is it normal when the car is cold that it keeps you from changing to fourth?

Yes, or the 3 that I've driven share the same fault

[Abo Bob]

Mine did that about 5 times. I never changed the solenoid and it always fixed it when you turned it off and then restarted the car. Don't worry.

Ahh, i see. Thanks for the confirmation mate.

ive had mine stick in third before

but it was just after i plugged in the Greddy EMU

so i unplugged it and it went away (it did give a fault code of sorts a/t light flashed 13 times,dont know what that means)

and the the next time i installed the EMU it was fine

wierd things happening

it does come on sometimes if you drive hard in manual mode

but other then that i dont see it much

my bet is it will stuff up the day after my warranty runs out

I thought that was a normal feature of the skyline electronic autos, that it would lock 4th out until it warmed up?

[Haines]

when mine did it it started off in 3rd

not 1st then 2nd then 3rd

just 3rd

Isn't that what happens when the car goes into limp mode?

That's different to locking out 4th.

So how do I get the fault codes from my R34 box, plenty of info about getting it from an R33 box (involving the OD button) which we dont have on R34/S2 Stagea ? Im getting the A/T light flashing approx 6 times sometimes when i start car..
