Hey, I hope someone can help me out with this...

When i start the car the 4wd light will stay off for about 15 secs.. then will go on until i turn the car off again.. During the time the light is on it is only rwd...

I can get the 4wd to work for only a few seconds... When i am moving i turn the car off for about 10 secs the turn it back on... The ABS and 4wd lights stay in until i stop... I then have 4wd for about 5 seconds until the light comes back on...

I got the problem after I got my clutch changed....

Can anyone help pleeease.?

I would say check your fuses (especially the ones in the engine bay), but it sounds like it has something to do with when you had your clutch changed. Maybe they forgot to connect some wires up? or nicked some so the don't have full contact.

Hopefully someone knows what's going on.

Try the fuses, who knows? maybe onces about to go...

yer i have checked all the fuses.. changed them all over and the same thing happens :D

ive tried changing fuses around

starting the car while moving

and resetting the computer...

I had the 4wd working for about 5 mins the other night.. I thought it might have fixed itself, but the next morning when i turned her back on the light came on again...

:confused:

It is necessary to remove air from a control system 4wd, a nipple for removal(distance) of air on transfer, the second above differential,

You need to bleed air out of the ATTESSA system if it has been disconected and check the reservior located in the boot on the drivers side behind a trim panel it has a min/max level indicator that needs to be checked with the ingnition turned on as the level will change as the oil drains back to the reservior if the ignition is turn off for a while. The warning light will come on and the system will shut down (go into 2wd mode) when this level in the reservior isn't in the specified area (min/max), this might be what wrong with your car.

Bleeding ATTESSA:

There is two bleed nipples the first is located above rear differential on a hydraulic unit, the second on the rear lower part of the transfer case, you need to check the level in the reservior before bleeding the system, there is a white plug that is taped onto the wiring harness near the accelerator pedal when the kick panel is removed this needs to be unpluged to provide pressure to the system full time when the ignition is switched on.

Procedure:

Switch ignition on.

Open and close bleeder on tranfer case one second at a time, repeat until all air is discharged.

tighten bleeder to 10nm or 7.2 ft-lb.

Connect the plug and fit the kick panel.

You can sometimes hear the electric pumps prime the ATTESSA system when doing a cold start.

In the service manual it says to use "only special nissan power steering fluid" in the reservior, in the transfer case it says to use nissan automatic fluid D Approx 1.8 litres.

If all else fails:

ATTESSA (4WD) has diagnostics, the R32 GTR and GTS4 have a ETS control unit under the under the rear parcel shelf accessible from the boot, this control unit has a LED on it to display system fault codes but these codes only display on the unit if the 4WD light on the dash stays on during driving.

The LED on the ETS control unit will flash the code contiuously even when the ignition is turned off.

If you find out the codes, I will be able to tell you exactly whats wrong with your 4WD system.

MEGA

MegaGTS4 YOU ARE MY GOD

:)

I checked the 4wd pump pump in the boot and after i started the car and the oil was primed out the was like half a mil left in there... I filled it up to where is should be and its now perfect..

Now i can go scare some people off the lights :)

Thanks heaps for your help!

This infotmation has been some what helpful to find out why my 4wd light is on. I hope I can work out what it is. Im new to the skyline community. Gave up the h4 community for the rb. So these are unknown dramas to me.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
