R34 Gtt Fault Code 17

[agags333]

Hey Guys

Just did a service on my car and noticed a TCS SLIP light come on.

now from experience ive known this to occur with fault code 21 ( coilpacks )

however it aint the coilpacks as its returning fault code 17.

Ive tried resetting the fault log. still comes up.

I do notice however that the TCS is no longer working. there is no throttle cut-off mechanism working when i try to brek traction.

Any ideas?

Images would help too since im pretty new to all this.

thanks guys

I think that code relates to the actual TCS throttle motor and/or the position sensor on it. I copied the below from an old SAU thread

Code 17

ABS-TCS control unit circuit

- Throttle control unit detects malfunction in the system (open throttle sensor harness etc.)

- TCS/ABS control unit detects malfunction

Yea thanks mate, i did see a post like that, what is the TCS throttle motor is and where it is, where the position sensor is. etc..

Bloody great ugly thing on the crossover pipe before the real throttle body.

I have the same problem running on a PFC, as soon as I plug in the stock ECU the lights go away and everything works perfectly. When I first bought the PFC I plugged it in and it was all good, traction worked and the lights never came on.

All I have done on the engine was install turbo, new splitfires coil packs and put in .8mm plugs. I didn't toucht the TCS or throttle body at all and everything else I have done has been on other parts of the car as well.

I did a fault code check with the stock ECU and its all clear code 55, Im not sure but I think you can't do a fault code check on PFCs

It's really wierd and I still can't figure it out, Here the thread I posted about this issue with a PFC incase anyone has any input
