4wd Light For S2's

Got this relay problem looked at again last week.

They hooked up a scanner to the 4WD ECU and got a 33 - Pressure Sensor code. They traced all the hydraulic lines for the 4WD system and the only pressure sensor or switch is mounted on top of the diff. They weren't 100% confident that this would solve the problem and I didn't want to pay for the labour to remove the diff to find out, so the clicking relay remains.

One thing they did notice was that there is one wire connected to the relay that is sending a -ve pulse which causes the relay to switch. But without access to a wiring diagram they were unable to trace it. I forgot to ask which wire it was, but maybe someone else can also check this.

I am assured though, that the 4WD system is working as it should. They tested it in the wet and everything is as it should be: 4WD engages when loss of traction is detected, and the 'Torque Split' guage shows a reading.

I think this is all the time I want to spend on this minor problem.

PS. My car is a manual, I don't know if the ATTESA is the same in autos.

phil did you end up fixing this problem. mine is also a manual and with the 4wd light on atessa is still working and showing up on the torque split gauge

    • Gates is saying the same thing. They think I have the right bag with the wrong hose in it... I bought it off amazon, I'm thinking someone pulled a good old swapparoo and returned normal hose. Well looks like she's coming back out... Not very lucky with this hose lol. 
    • Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead
    • Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.
    • It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10  
    • Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.
