Im pretty sure they have sold the cvt boxes a long time ago but you might get lucky and they may have a cvt ecu...dunno.

Possibly contact an ecu specialist.. i think plms developments over there may be able to help but not sure if they do anything other than engine ecu's.

What a champion you are mate! Thanks a million! :)

I'll get in touch with them to see if they can sort me out.

Thanks again!

You should let them know if they can fix it then they may have some more customers if it ends up being a common fault on the cvt cars awell.

Maybe some of the autos might fail from this issue aswell who knows....

Strange though that the cvt ecu (that you would think would be different) possibly has the same issue as the autos....

****************************MAJOR UPDATE & CONCLUSION************************************************

YES! Finally fixed! After a month of horror and a long list of possible culprit, I finally figured out what was causing the problem.

The problem was...(drum roll) :FAULTY SPEED SENSOR

After spending a week at Tech Transmission with no end result and spent close to $500, I went and took the car to Jamie at Autoworkshop at welshpool cause i couldn't get an appointment soon enough with Fabcar. He hooked up a scan tool, recorded the datalog and told me to go for a drive. As soon as the car was jerky i took a look at the scan tool and the vehicle speed sensor was going haywire. Jumped from 50 to 75 dropped to 4 then finally made the transmission go on limp mode. Sure enough after that he retrieved a P0720 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) Error from the TCM. He had a wicked scan tool.

Got a replacement from Nissan ($300) and fitted it in today. Problem = Gone :blink: I'm so happy i can eat a horse.

Here's the part no for the speed sensor: 31935 - 5P002

I hope this info would be useful to anyone who's experiencing the same problem.

Thanks to Jamie & Brett at Autoworkshop who diagnosed and tested everything on the car. Thanks to everyone here who’s helped.

Sorry for the long post, i'm just too excited right now, My baby lives again! :(

Thats great you got it sorted and gave the details on the problem and solution it just shows how important a good scan tool is with these modern ecu's.

I want to get myself a consult3 or equivalent at some stage.

I think I have a similar problem to what you had. Mine starts to jerk a bit then the tacho goes to 4000+ and stays there. No matter what gear i put it in, the tacho does not change. It's as though I'm driving in 2nd gear. Only way to get back to normal is to stop the car and restart.

Did you change the speed sensor yourself. If so was it much hassle and where is it located?

It sounds similar. But my tacho will go up as high as I want to rev it. My gear will get stuck in 2 or 3. While u may have a speed sensor problem, it could be something else as well.

My suggestion is take it to a good mechanic with a good scantool that's able to talk to the ecu/tcm. It should pull up a code You need that code to go on. Don't make the same mistake I did and try to guess the problem.

Btw the speed sensor is located on the gearbox itself. There's two of em. Input and output.

Goodluck let us know how u go

hey wheres the speed sensor located

my cousins car is going through the problem in the limp mode and hes been to so many work shops and when they scan the car it comes up all dese codes which cant be erased and it has nothing to do with the solenoids ay but the codes said it does

P0720 VEH SPD SEN/CIR

P1762 D/C SOLENOID/CIRC

P1752 I/C SOLENOID/CIRC

P1757 FR/B SOLENOID/CIRC

P1772 LC/B SOLENOID/CIRC

P0745 L/Press SOLENOID/CIRC

Ok. Is the car a GT8 or 5sp Auto? Mine is a GT8. So while i'm sure it's exactly the same electrical wise,i can only give you advice based on my transmission.

I'd say that because the Speed Sensor code is at the top of the list might as well give that a fix first.

I recommend taking it for a test drive with the scan tool hooked up and logging the input from the speed sensors and the solenoids. When the problem occurs and the car goes to limp mode you'll definitely see what's causing it in the scan tool.

In my case the speed sensor started going haywire and giving erratic data to the ecu. That's why my car went to limp mode.

The speed sensor is located outside of the transmission housing itself. You need to have good access to the bottom of your car. The input is at the front and output (most likely the culprit) is at the back. You can't miss it.

If you wanna take a shot at fixing this your self firstly check the harness and continuity for the speed sensor (a multimeter would help) if you can rule this out then call any nissan dealer in your area and get a hold of this part : 31935 - 5P002 (Vehicle Speed Sensor) Picture attached.

The input and output uses the same part. So you can swap the input and output if one doesn't fix the problem. This should set you back at least $300.

Goodluck, post back when you have problems/result :thumbsup:

fanx for the the info , its a 5speed auto box

scanned many times and try deleting it & within 5 secs after deleting it , it pops straight back up

will take a look at the sensor first ay, deyv took the whole sum down and check everything and every code and box seems fine so duno wats nxt man

will keep u updated ay

cheers

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
