Hello,

Since I've owned my GTR the 4WD system has never worked.

I only recently checked the fault code reported by the ATTESSA computer, and it read:

19 - ETS motor, motor relay or circuit.

I'm still quite concerned that I never get a 4WD light on the dash.. I'm also assuming that these bulbs don't just die very easily on their own either ..? ;)

Anyone here ever had an incident with this fault code? Sounds like it's just some shitty wiring somewhere perhaps? :cool:

Globes die. You should get it lighting up just before you start the engine. If not then either it's dead, or, worse, someone removed the bulb to hide the fault.

Yeah dude, I've never seen the 4WD light before, no matter what position the key is in.

Judging by who sold it to me I would not be suprised if this was removed to hide the fault.

Could this fault code 19 be something more severe? Or is it usually spot on?

Appreciate your response by the way.

Well obviously you have something wrong with the pump, relay or circuit...

When you turn the IGN on, does the ATESSA pump run? Its like the fuel pump but runs for much longer on first start until it builds pressure.

If it doesnt, then check the fuse in the engine bay. If thats ok check that the relay in the boot is clicking when it should. I think its the LHS one under the back boot lining.

To help, look near or underneath the d/s kick panel for a small white single wire plug. When the IGN is on and that is unplugged, that will make the pump run continuously.

Check power to relay, check power to the pump. If theres power to the pump wires, the pump is gone.

Search up the net, you should be able to find a pdf of the GTR service manual, it has ATESSA troubleshooting guides.

Thank you very much Femno - Rowdyr32 has noted that he cannot hear the 4WD pump at all when you should hear it, the fuses are all good - I will test the other things you have noted.

If someone is available to assist me this weekend (as I'm new to most of this, ie. pretty usless) I can pay you for your time.

Cheers!

Hmmmm, I heard no relays clicking... I guess I will need to take it to the mechanic to check out. The rear diff is coming out anyway, so they can probably check the ATTESSA pump at the same time.

While I was in the boot (lol) I saw this, could someone kindly tell me what it is? It looks like a placer for a fuse? Except there's nothing in there and it was open as seen here:

Thanks again!

Thats for the boot light. Place a globe in there. Usually on most cars, because of their age the boot light switch on the latch fails and the light can stay on even when boot is closed. Hey presto dead battery. Thats probably why it's not installed.

Cheers

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
