trying to help out my brother with his car. i dont know much about cars really, but i think im pretty good with trouble shooting.

my brother has a 91 cefiro attesa cruising. his awd light has been coming on, and has been happening for a while. he said everyone he asked couldnt explain it and didnt know where to start looking for a solution, so i got a bit interested.

he has recently put a r32 gtr gearbox in the car, and when we had the car in bits, i noticed the attesa resioiver was a bit low. topped that up, but i have read that "when people change clutches they often forget to bleed the attesa lines" or something similar. this has not been done yet, but the problem was also happening before when the car was still auto.

and from what i have read, i found to check the light flashing on the rear parcel shelf. i didnt see it, but i told him that next time the light comes on, dont turn off the car and count the flashes.

he says it was 18, a puase, then 18 more, so im assuming he got it down right.

then this link says 18 ETS pressure switch or circuit

but i dont know where to go next to track down the problem.

what can i do next? let me know if you need any more information.

wow.. never knew there were ceffies with ATTESSA..

I think I found my new porn!

Was it a personal import?

is 'cefiro attesa cruising' the model name?

thats just sex!

actually, not sure if it was a personal import. he just baught it off some guy. i dont know the details

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cefiro and see attesa cruising.

we just went for another drive, but this time we were getting error code "1" which is right front wheel sensor.

this happened multiple times, probably 4 times. we didnt get 18 again.

doesn anyone know exactly where the sensor is located? is it easy to just like unplug, clean in plug it back in? is it easy to tell if it is damaged?

and that, and im not entirely sure my brother counted the 18 correctly. but i saw the 1 error code more than once.

woulda been kinda funny for the pedestrians, car pulls over, two guys get out and open the boot and jump in, they probably thought wtf, haha

Sorry I can't be much help with your questions,

But how do you get ATTESSA to run diagnostics?

when the light comes on on the dash (AWD) the box in the rear parcel shelf flashes a sequence, which gives the error code.

oh, a major thing i forgot to say...... THIS DOESNT HAPPEN 100% OF THE TIME.

sometimes he can drive and it will be working normally the whole time, other times he moves the car 10 metres and the light comes on.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
