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

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
