hi guys, my tcs switch doesn't work, when i press the switch it doesn't turn off the TCS.

I just got my car back from mechanic as my car couldn't start guess some sensor broke down. The mechanic rewire sth so it could start but then when i push the TCS button the TSC OFF light is not showing up on the dash. I wonder what's wrong with it.

Also, i got this TCS off , SLIP and Engine warning light on and the engine seem to crank and keep misfiring. But when i turn off the car and start again they gone again. I wonder what's the problem? Is sth wrong with the coilpack? as i feel the engine cranks so much n keep misfiring when those light on.

Need advise from everyone. THanks!

rewired what exactly? i cant think of anything needing re wiring to fix a break down on a 34. what was the cause of the breakdown...

because my mate's car got smashed at the front and cause has not spark to start up his car. When he turned on the car the engine just cranking and no spark to start it. Therefore the mechanic rewire sth to make it start. Perhaps i should get him to talk to mechanic.

I do not think my TCS switch is working in my car either. Although mine hasn't had any rewiring done or anything. From reading this thread looks like there is a fuse so I'll go check all that now.

One question i have is how is the TCS Off switch meant to work do you just start the car and press the switch and then TCS off will come up on the display?

Also is the switch meant to be like a light switch wear you flick it and it stays there or like spring loaded kind of switch wear you press it and then it comes goes back to it's original position after pressing? Just asking as mine is like the spring loaded kind of switch

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 🤣
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
