M35 Cruise Problem

I took my M35 on a decent cruise this weekend and it appears to have an intermittent fault in the factory cruise.

Sometimes whilst cruising along, there is a beep followed by the car dropping out of cruise. The sensor signal on the right lcd on the dash (car symbol and three bars and dot) flash and an orange 'cruise' lights up to the right of the green 'cruise' on the dash. The only way this can be reset is to turn the car off, after which it appears to work normally.

The second problem it was showing this afternoon was the beep again, followed by dropping out of cruise. This time the orange 'cruise' wasn't there, and the three bars and dot were flashing on the lcd but no car symbol. I could reset this condition by turning the cruise off and on again with the steering wheel button, but it kept on doing this...very frustrating!

In both cases, there were no cars infront or other objects that may have interfered with the cruise as far as I could see.

I have checked for fault codes and it comes up with 1110 (three single flashes then ten flashes), but there's no listing for that code that I could see. Is it the same as the V35 which I think is P1110 Intake Valve Timing Control, LH Bank??? This is no doubt a separate issue... I will reset it and see if it comes back.

Any ideas? Or is this just prompting me to lose the factory cruise, which I don't want to do!

Loose connection to/from your cruise module?

Did you happen to his any bumps before the beep by any chance? Just thinking that if the connection was not great, perhaps the plug was jolted loose?

(have no idea really, so just taking an uneducated guess :happy: )

No, no bumps, jolts, low flying birds (!) etc. I suspect an intermittent electrical gremlin as it isn't putting up an error code on the computer. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced and fixed this.

Anyone got a spare radar sensor for the front grille? Hate to think what they'd cost from Nissan!

Wow, that quote just sent a shiver down my spine... and I get "good" prices from Nissan!

Perhaps PM Chris Rogers? He may have a spare radar sensor, although due to the rarity of the item I think you will need all the luck you can get!

Have you played around with the cruise control wiring? I was reading your last post on how you wanted to get more than 110 by using a circuit from jaycar. I also have this cruise control. I never use it because when cruising sometimes it sees on coming traffic and shuts off esp left hand turns. And also I cant go above the 110 limit and everyone passes me. When you get the warning lights does it try and put on the brakes aswell? Ive tried following a car in front of me with cruise on right up to an intersection the cruise started braking with warning lights on dash and it slows the car right down to about 5 kms. It was a fast stop and i was impressed it colud do that. Try following a car right to stopping point to see if yours does the same. There should be warnings during normal driving but it should still reengage. You could also try setting the distance closer so its not picking up far away objects.

Haven't played with it....yet....

It was working exactly as it should except when it was faulting. Normally it does the braking, warning beeps etc. When it faults, it emits a single beep, drops out of cruise and the dash display starts flashing, either with the orange 'cruise' or not. I played with the distance setting and it made no difference to the problem.

I tried it on a drive to the shops just then and it was working just fine, of course!

just my 2 cents when i had the loaner m35 i had the exact same issue (the beep and drop out of cruise) when i indicated to overtake.. figured it may have a safeguard which stops you indicating (overtaking) while on cruise.. tho could have been also been distance from the guy in front though was a fair bit away.

I think I updated another topic- fixed the problem. Was either a dirty set of lenses for the sensor and/r dirty wiring contacts. Took it all out and apart, cleaned it all, marvelled at all the electronics inside the sensor box, put it back together and it's been working flawlessly. Up to 110!

I wish someone would hurry up and crack the computer programming so they can take out all the speed limiters!

this is exactly what my car does, only i have no lights on the dash.....ever

when you say sensor, do you mean the radar??

Hi Guys,

I have the same problem with my car as well.

First of all I ripped off the front grill and gave my radar a good scrubbing which seemed to fix the problem for a while. however the problem seems to be coming back more and more frequently.

The only other variable I can think of is the Black plastic which sits in the grill with the Nissan badge on it is starting to fade and show spots all over it, I'm wondering if this is causing the issue as well.

Anyone have any ideas where to buy just the Black plastic part of the grill from and cost

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
