with ignition issues fixed you will easily dip into the 10's and 135mph

good first effort though

yeah thanks mate.

the ignition issue was easily fixed up.

Planning on going back to track and lower tyre pressures etc....

but first I have to fix this

Attesa system has given up the ghost - error code 21 throttle sensor is le f**ked

who does work like that

what ever happened to taking pride in your work

backyard butchers

lol I don't know man.

I need to test the voltage of the attessa ecu as per the service manual.

but my voltage meter has grown legs and got the f**k out - cant find the bastard lol

id be re doing the harness.

solder my man. get that iron out. i cannot stand wiring like that even if i cant see it.

think you are right Paul

Also think that a new harness is going to have to be on order

Burn more money burn :rant:

I'd try source a new male plug w/ pins from Haltech or wherever. Cut it back and start again. Poor connections raise resistance, altering sensor readings from true. If you didn't want to solder, maybe source some weatherproof connectors like deutsch. We use them at work and installed correctly, can outlive the life of the machine in some pretty harsh environments. We prefer if possible to plug/receptacle as solder joins can become brittle and hard over time, and if there is any vibration can crack.

I prefer having an entire new harness.

However, I have just done a some quick research and found this from Haltech

the very last post got my attention

The attessa error code is still 29 even after this new tps has been installed

I wonder if something has reset itself

Got to love people butchering up the harnesses like that. Mine was the same as yours so when I switched from PowerFC to the Link I replaced the harness for peace of mind - was good that I did as I also found that the front left wheel sensor plug had melted and become disconnected :/

Do you remember changing / touching anything for the light to come on or did it just appear one day?

all I did man was remove the oil catch can from the engine bay and give it a good clean out

there was a ground wire that I thought was in the way so I started to unscrew it (sits directly below where the oil catch can sits behind / next to the battery hook) but I couldn't take it off so I just tried to tighten again (but still seemed a bit loose, wonder if there is nut underneath)

after I had cleaned the oil catch can I reinstalled with the breathers attached and went for drive

got to the traffic lights at the end of my street (600-700m or so) and before I could even cross the 4WD light came on.

Here is a quick video of the Attessa ECU flashing its goods

I count 21 am I right?

Make sure your battery and earths are good..

That's given me heaps of troubles before with my attessa

Yeah. I will check it over.

Could be so many possibilities.

What an absolute PITA.

But I guess it gives me the chance to find electrical issues that need to be resolved so probably a good thing.

Phewww.........So I fixed my 4WD issue :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

It was what GTR_JOEY said and was a loose / dirty ground wire which also grounded the battery wire in front of that silly catch can.

I gave it a good clean and replaced the screw with a new one as the old one was totally stripped of its thread (not sure how :dry: )

then couldnt help myself and take the car for a spin - all four wheels blazing like they should be.

Thanks Joe again for the tip.

and to all that get 4WD errors - CHECK YOUR EARTHS!

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
