as of yesterday driving to work randomly the engine light, tcs and slip lights all came on, wasn't driving fast or hard

when i got to the next set of lights, i turned the car off and then on and the engine light stayed off but the other 2 came back on

so i turned the car off and on again and they stayed off until this afternoon when i started the car at work and it happend a couple of times on the way home

when it happens i always have to turn the car off once and the engine light turns off and then again to get the TCS light and slip light to turn off

this has only happened since i did the plugs and oil on the weekend, i only picked the car up the weekend before and it didn't do that during last week

reading other threads i don't think this is unique to my car but i can't seem to get a straight answer from other threads

Mine does the exact same thing.

TCS and Slip still work, but the lights Stay on,

Turn the car on and about 2 minutes into driving they turn on.

My guess was the different sized rims/tyres is affecting the Computer with slip?

Could be many things. mine did the same a while back. replaced my coil packs & it was still doing it.

Mine was dying everytime those lights came on. annoying...

I took it to auto electricians & the codes came up as the afm. it was faulty...

Hey guys I just got my r34 GTT 2000 model, its got an exhaust, pod filter and BOV, the tcs off light is on and the slip light, constantly, the car doesn't run rough or missfire although a pop here and there randomly doesn't seem as though its backfire just a pop, what could this be? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

update to this, i finally got around to looking at this on the weekend, just loosened the coil packs off and did them up again and made sure the plugs for the loom were all in properly.

the car has never run better, revs a lot nicer and more responsive no more backfiring which was horrendous after i bought the car and got better after i changed the plugs but now gone completely so something must have not been plugged in properly

that miss still happens sometimes though, so i'm going to changed my plugs to a 0.8mm plug as i changed the plugs to 1.1mm BCP6E, and i've only had this issue since i changed plugs

other than that it must be a coilpack, but it just doesn't feel like a coil pack because it doesn't happen on boost like your typical f**ked coilpack, it usually happens sometimes when i first start the car in the morning or when i'm just cruising at 60km/h and goes away generally if i give it some revs

hey guys I did the test and it came up as fault number 17 abs-tcs control unit circuit RB25DET, and in the description it says open throttle body harness? and abs-tcs control unit detects malfunction?, what could that be? what do I need to change? thanks.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
