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!

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:

post-63310-0-51322200-1294368409_thumb.jpg

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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
