ok guys so just had an Autronic SM4 fitted in my 32 GTR and have found 4wd light is on and always in RWD mode, (dont get me wrong this is fun but not why i wanted a GTR)

so i have checked the attessa computer and i am getting 21 flashes which if im correct is the throttle sensor or circuit.

Can anyone tell me if this is a mechanical fix problem or is it somthing in the autronic??

thanks you Lee

I had the same drama when I fitted a Wolf to my GTS4. The (factory) ECU passes a throttle signal through to the ATTESSA computer.

Advanced Engine Management (makers of Wolf) have a "black box" solution. Maybe Autronic has something similar.

hey guys :)

ets: 4wd control unit right?

ems: engine management/control system?

ok ok im unsure about all the uhm, technical terms but hope you get it anyways... :P

Have installed a new ems in a friends r32gtr. Engine runs fine but we havent worked out all details in the atessa vs ems. Vill splice the tps signal(?) back to the ets, but what about the rpm signals that schematics show goes from ems to ets? Are they relevant for getting 4wd working or just tells ets that engine is running and 4wd can be engaged. Problem with this is dont know what sort of signal the ets wants when recognizing engine rpm, or maybe a positive 5v feed is enough to just say, hey engine running... with a rpm based signal it gets more tricky since we dont know what frequency it likes to listen to...

well just some of my projects right now trying to get this r32 sliding in the snow here with all 4 wheels spinning like crazy...

later on my r33 gtr will get the same treatment, would that be about the same as this? (4wd stuff vs new ems)

so i will try to get back with some info on this later...

ok so this works fine. just plug in tps signal to ets and its back in 4wd! :D

(might need a grounding wire also shown in eccs section in manual)

might need a slight recalibration on tps to get it just right... (adjust tps unit postition on throttle bracket)

dont know if i missed something, but rpm signal to ets seems to have no effect on anything important... guess ill just skip it for now.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
