A few weeks ago I dusted off the skyline (literally) and decided to drive it to work for a change. Whilst the car is running fine the PowerFC hand controller appears to have developed a split personality.

Cue the blurry camera phone photo...

Has anyone seen similar issues before? I am curious if its the hand controller or the PowerFC and if its potentially a easy fix. The hand controller is a handy diagnostic tool, so it would be nice if it worked. :)

A search of the forums and the net yielded nothing more than adds for yogurt, so I did try!

Details: PowerFC for RB25DET / GTS-25T

and where have you been hiding?!

anyway, try the above about disconnecting everything etc. but sadly if that doesn't fix it, it's most likely the HC dying. there are a few places that can fix them. try nams auto electrical. he can fix just about anything that is electric and import related. :D

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
