Flashing 4wd Light?

[scotty nm35]

I doubt it Joey, it only knows what the wheels are doing by the ABS wheel speed sensors.

[GTR_JOEY]

Hmmm I only ask because it sorta started after I put brand new tyres on

That and I had a poor balance before and it sent my torque gauge nuts

And they are all the same size

[scotty nm35]

It will be throwing the G sensor crazy if it's that bad.

[GTR_JOEY]

I'll get my wheels balanced when I get a chance and report back

[GTR_JOEY]

Not the wheel balance,

Does it while not moving now, started with a flash and now eventually just stays on

Gonna get the codes and then do a bleed

[GTR_JOEY]

Also have some suspicions on the battery

Check the power steering fluid level while you are about it.

[GTR_JOEY]

Will do, cheers

[GTR_JOEY]

Fault found, shit battery

[GTR_JOEY]

Dis regard, fault is still there..

Seems to stay to stay on sometimes but I still have 4wd, other times is flashes with the bumps in the road

Would appear there is some sort of short or earthing issue

What do we think?

Worth looking at earth points.

Did you get new terminals with new battery?

[GTRPSI]

Do they run a g force sensor box like the R32 GTR's?

Mine played up once, opened the unit to find a blown capacitor, replaced it with a $1 one from Jaycar, reset the output voltages via the trim pots and it never came back again.

[scotty nm35]

They do, but it's a much more modern digital unit I suspect.

[GTRPSI]

Id be opening her up and checking for bulging or leaking caps.

Even post up a pic of the internals.

Hang on i have some of when i repaired mine.....does it look like this inside with 3 trim pot variable resistors so you can tune the output voltage?

Bah more modern, you Stagea owners think you all live with the Jetsons.

[GTRPSI]

I might add to the above post that in my case the white cap marked 10 25V that sits horizontally has a burn on the black - terminal where it was leaking.

Found a equivalent round type of the same specs (only shape was different) and soldered it in, readjusted the output voltages and 4WD light problem solved.

You can see the cylindrical shape of the replacement in the pic below just above the IC taken while i was readjusting the output voltages.
