R34 Gt Diagnostic Code Help

Can anyone help?

Engine light came on so i ran the self Diagnostic on it and the Code it gave me was 21

as far as i can find 21 = Ignition Signal - No consecutive Ignition Signal

Using my own common sense the only thing that can translate to is something like a coil pack problem, although the engine seems yo be runnig very smooth.

Can any one shed some light on exactly what Code 21 is?

OK so all I am armed with here is a R34 service manual and common sense... but since no-one else has said anything... Have you checked your timing with a timing light? I think you will need one with a special "inductive" pickup, that clips onto "loop wire" for the coilpacks (has a yellow stripe I think?). As I read the manual if the timing is out too far, or if there is a variance of more than 25RPM between injector pulses, or a #($*& load of other things occur this light can be tripped.

Then again, sometimes you just need to reset the error codes and they go away and stay away. This is probably the first place I'd start... all you need is a paperclip. Instructions here are around aplenty :ermm:

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
