Done. Also replaced the pump with one we new worked. Still no love.

Relays have also been replaced.

Can they pull the error code with a Consult 2 or 3, or attempt the code reading procedure & count the blinks?

C1206 via a Launch X431

A quick google of C1206 seems to suggest its an ABS code; whether or not thats actually a fault in the ATESSA system then I'm not so sure.

Regarding headlights; I personally take the front bar off and then take the entire assembly out - but my hands arent exactly small and dexterous :P

Confused.

C1206 is not a Nissan error code (they start with P).

If it is P1206, that points to an error in "Injector Cycle Cylinder #6"

Have a look at this site for Nissan error codes

http://www.permoveo.ltd.uk/tabid/122/OBD-Error-Code/p1206/Diagnostics/Nissan/Default.aspx

Still doesn't explain why the 4WD light is on.

The Synchro switch isn't pressed it is? (Silly question I know...)

C1206 is a Ford code

Headlights, just dive in from the back.

I thought you may say that...

The car is fitted with HID's and they seem to give of a pink light...

LOL @ pink light...maybe its aftermarket globes...

My 4WD light comes on intermittently too...I'm going to have to bleed/flush and do all the checks and find out WTF is it doing...

Na, you can see the bulb behind the reflector and inside the globe is a rod instead of a normal wire...

Ok I'll check it out.

Got the car back to Adelaide with the light on, we replaced what we could mechanically so what ever the problem is it's electrical...

How do I do a diagnostic check? Where is the blinking light? I assume on the ECU it's self?

Cheers.

I thought you had tiny girl hands? Aren't you still in Sri Lanka anyway?

Mike, have a search through tthe forums, I've seen that a few times, and check out m35stagea.info, might be on there. I know there is a huge listing to all the fault codes and the procedure.

Other than that how's the car?

Have a read of this thread as it has lots of information on the fault codes.

The light that flashes is the one of the engine on your dash.

Thanks for the tips, i would normally check m35info but the page does not work on iPads, cant even login.

Car is great, no real issues as yet...

Spent all day removing the aftermarket DVD/Sat Nav/Monitor and ALL the wiring that went with it:

Then moved over to the drivers side where i found some wires which seem to lead to know where and others which i am having some trouble identifying what they are and why they are there...

These two parts were under the drivers side dash, 1 marked with Nissan and the other blank, not sure if they are standard or a factory upgrade.

This was not plugged into anything, found under the dash with a random wire spliced in:

wired back to this (it wires into a relay which is plugged into the harness which attaches to the seat belt and the air bag sensor):

post-83066-0-45413100-1307259362_thumb.jpg

This is another aftermarket feature, it seems to be wired into a stock location but the switch is not standard, my thoughts are that the driving lights were put in after and they couldn't be bothered getting the standard switch:

Also found this button which seems to do nothing:

I can't help you with all the funny stuff going on with your wiring, but the button in the last pic is used to make the mirrors fold in when you lock the car / arm the alarm with the button on your key. This works in addition to the switch on the LHS of the steering wheel which you use to manually fold the mirrors in.

Cheers, Leon.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
