Hi,

I finished changing the fluids on the 4wd system.

Now when I give it a little the engine warning light comes on. Drive it sedately and no problems.

Any ideas what causes this?

Oil changed within 5000Km, plenty there.

My wifes driving up to Bundy a 600Km drive on Friday, so hopefully sort it by then.

Cheers,

Brendan

Hi Brendan, didn't you get a consult cable? could check the error codes with some consult software. There is a way to check the dtc's by shorting 2 pins on the consult plug and have it flash the error code with the check engine light, i think there is a procedure in the workshop manual for this.

Hey mate I have the same problem as well! I found it goes away as soon as you touch the throttle again. Oxygen sensor maybe? How many kms have you done?

Yes I was going to say 02 sensor, when mine went the engine light would come on when idling at lights, as soon as u got going it would switch off again so yeah check your sensor

Thanks

I was thinking maybe the FWD part wasn't 100% before, now the fluids are ok its' working harder?

My wife reckons she hasn't seen the light any more.

Yeah i'll look into it.

Good tips.

Ours does the same, give it a bit and she'll come one back off and after a little bit it turns off, been like that easily 6 months now though. It was also hesitating or running rough like there was a coil pack issue, but only during summer - now that it's winter its not doing it.... does this sound like it's coil packs for sure?

How many kms have you guys got with this problem? I have 98xxx km on the clock

We all know the coil packs go around the ~100k area so I suspect mine are in their way out because of the heat?

Note my coil pack cover is off so the hot air doesn't get traped

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
