Ok did a search couldn't find anything, Had a g sensor error code come up a few weeks ago, 4wd was not working, pulled the fuse, finally got around to checking the g sensor under the centre console, no red line looks fine, got a new fuse, put the fuse in, 4wd now works so far, seems like my attessa ecu is intermittantly throwing up codes, normally throws up the abs codes, as that has been removed, but apart from that also the occasional other code, ie ets pressure switch

Attessa fluid was full last time I checked it. Anything else that might be causing an intermittant g sensor code?

thanks

Ok I had the car go into 2wd whilst out driving this arvo, after heavy braking, going to check a few things but its shot up 8. 9 and 13, now 8 and 9 are there since the car has had abs taken out of it before I bought it. 13 appears to be a G sensor, now I've checked the one underneath the centre console? it's fine, there isn't another one in the car somewhere? Or is it possible I've got a dodgy wire in the car somewhere causing this issue, bloody annoying

Dug these codes up from an ancient post.

4WD CODES:

LED FLASHES

1. Right front wheel speed sensor or circuit

2. Left front.........

3. Right rear........

4. Left rear.........

5. ABS right front wheel actuator solenoid or circuit

6. ABS left front.......

7. ABS REAR wheel.......

8. ABS actuator motor, motor relay or circuit

9. ABS actuator relay or circuit

10. ETS control unit power supply or circuit

11. Fore aft G sensor 1 or circuit

12. Fore aft G sensr 2 or circuit

13. Fore aft G sensor 1, Fore aft G sensr 2

14. G sensor power supply 1

15. G sensor power supply 2

16. Lateral G sensor or circuit

17. Air bleed connector or circuit

18. ETS pressure switch or circuit

19. ETS motor, motor relay or circuit.

20. ETS solenoid or circuit

21. THROTTLE sensor or circuit

22. ETS oil level switch or circuit

23-

24 or continually ON or OFF: ETS control unit, ground or ciruit.

:D Well the only way I know how is when the 4wd light goes on, pop the trunk and stick your noggin into the boot and look up to the parcel shelf, the silverish box on the left, should have a sight glass so to speak, which will be flashing codes out with an led. count the dots, it will leave a space between errors, and will cycle through after its done, just make sure not to check it in a confined space, exhaust fumes ftl :( lol Not sure if it throws up the errors as well, if you just pull out the fuse.

Like the other guy in this thread, my g sensor line is still white, not red, so I'm a bit lost as to what to do, the only small clue I have is that yesterday, the 4wd light decided to come on when I was braking hard, and it then through up the g sensor code, so I thought perhaps it's a wiring issue?

any helps much appreciated.

well according to the list I copied and pasted

21. THROTTLE sensor or circuit

So no one else having a similar issue?, local shop seems to think it's a side effect of the abs being removed, but it's just intermittent, still driving me nuts....

The white line your talking about is only an Impact indicator it is not a way of telling if the G sensor is inop.

Get the workshop manual out and check the sensor according to the diagnosis outlined in the manual.

Chances are the G sensor needs to be replaced, I have seen a fair few of them with this issue.

Do the same for the other codes you have except the ABS obviously. And diagnosis the problem rather than trying to guess.

If your diagnosis shows that everything is working correctly then it is possible the sensors are intermitantly failing or you have a wiring connection problem somewhere.

However you say if happens after braking hard so its going to the G sensor not reading correctly.

... now I've checked the one underneath the centre console? it's fine, there isn't another one in the car somewhere?
There's actually 3 G-sensors. Fore and Aft longitudinal sensors located in one unit, and the lateral sensor located in the other unit. Both units are located under the centre console glove box.

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
