New owner R32 Need help 4WD light ON

Greetings from USA.

I recently took ownership of this R32 GTR. I don't know much about this car since there are not many here. The 4wd light stays on but the ABS and Hicas goes off normally after engine start.

After some search here is what I have done:

Checked under hood and dash fuses all good

Checked the LED error and flashing code 21.

Checked the TPS(last owner installed a new unit)

Checked the TPS voltage using a scanner and shows .4v throttle closed.

Checked the fluid level in trunk. (right between min and max)

I printed out R32 manual and followed diag for code 21. Measured voltage at attesa ECU pin 47 and 48. Found .4V at connector. Flow charts says to replaced attesa ECU. Makes sense since the voltage signal is getting to the 4WD ECU but the ecu still flashes this problem then ECU defective.

I replaced the attesa ECU and still same code 21 and 4wd light on.

I ran 2 new wires from ECU to attesa ecu replacing the two tps signal wires. The 4WD light went out and torque gauge is working now.

I bleeded the system and everything seems to be good now until I found out the CEL is on now (apexi ECU lights up exhaust warning for CEL).

In the mean time since the 4wd is working some what now I started getting the relay clicking and hicas light problem so I replaced the accumator and that problem seems ok now.

I bleeded the system again and now a lot more fluid is flowing out so I think the accumator helped a lot with the pressures.

I have a apexi power fc and when the cel is on the exhaust overheat will stay on. The CEL is for water temp sensor, air temp sensor and tps.

I checked the wires again and found the black wire from the ecu needs to go to attesa, tps, ect, and air temp sensor.

So now I wires up sensors one by one while checking the 4wd light.

Everything still works fine with water temp and air temp sensor and attesa wired up, however once I wire up the tps ground wire, the 4wd light turns back on.

I rechecked the tps voltage again and it's looks good...so now stuck.,,

Also this condition is same with stock ECU and apexi ecu

Any ideas?? thanks.

I know this was so long ago but I currently have the same issue with mine and was told to change the ecu tps from 10% to 90% instead of 0% to 100%. Doing this seemed to work for others I'm going to try it on mine

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
