Hi guys.

I've read a few topics on the TCS slip light coming on, in some GTT's, for what appears to be no good reason.

I am now having a similar issue with my GTT.

The "slip" light comes on when traction is not lost or in danger of being lost.

Rather than turn the TCS off (and still have the TCS OFF light constantly on, on the dash, I'd like to fix the issue permanently, and operate as the factory intended.

Do any of our members have any information on TCS systems diagrams, wiring diagrams and technical details of the TCS?

Any help would be apopreciated.

Many thanks.

Jim (GTT340) :rolleyes:post-67866-0-80795200-1309213106_thumb.jpg

The only way is to fit somthing like the TCS reversal box that I used to make, and then remove the TCS-Off bulb so it doesn't annoy you (as it will always default the TCS to "off" on startup without you touching the button)

Nope. I want it to remain as factory spec, and work exactly like it is supposed to.

I think it is mate, it's doing exactly what my "stock" GTt used to do going sedately around corners, the second the wheel speed had a diffference between front and rear it used to kick in.

Also a thing to note, are your front and rear wheels exactly the same rolling diameter?

You guys must drive some crap GTT's is all I can say. LOL

The TCS does NOT go off on an off the showroom floor GTT, unless you LOSE traction.

I've owned and driven 5 now, and this is the first car that has the issue.

I'm looking for someone who has the data and the knowledge within SAU.

You out there?

I know what your talking about, mine does the exact same thing, but very rarely. It just seems to happen every now and then when you first start it, and it usually stays on until you shut it down again.

I don't know how the hell there would be any link, but I have heard that coil packs that are on the way out may cause the issue. Mine happens pretty rarely so I have never bothered to look into it any further.

No the car just used to break traction (within the detection limits of the TCS ECU) quite a bit, it's a very basic system...as I said the TCS ECU in the boot uses the difference in wheel speeds by comparing the front wheel speed with the rear wheel (gearbox speed) as soon as there is a detected difference the TCS system pulls the ignition to 3 cylinders and flips the TCS butterfly to almost fully closed (restricsts the airflow) = engine power drop

I actually know the system backwards and there really isn't much more to share other than the key points I've already mentioned, the basic gist is the car is seeing a speed difference between the gearbox speed sensor and front wheels, you need to figure out why.

Explicit data, TCS diagnostics, Wiring info and sensor output values can be found in the English version of the R34 Workshop Manual

Dan,

Ok, that's better. I can understand that better, and thanks.

A little closer to finding out why.

I regards to the coil related issue my car was doing that random thing I took to a sparky that does a jap stuff and he did explain ( but don't remember exactly ) that dodge coils cause other systems to react in turn bringing on multiple lights on dash including tcs slip check. Set of splitfires solved my dramas . Maybe a help or not g luck.

Yup agree with the top post that's your problem the coil packs just replace it with after market ones like splitfire or yellow jacks. If you leave the problem as it is you'll start to see your engine light will start to turn on if all 3 lights turn on etc you slip, tcs and engine light turn on then I'm 100% sure it's one of your coil packs miss firing. Get some one to scan your ecu to find out which one exactly and just replace it you could probably find one here for $30...or so.

Test your Coilpacks before you go waste money on new aftermarket ones,

if you want a coilpack fix for about $30 then look at CRC urethane seal coat,

if you do Search on Missfire fires you shall see some posts i have done,

hope this helps you out good luck,

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
