Hi all. I have a 89 gts4 and I just wanted to know how it works because my 4wd light on the dash is there. And there is a torque controller with a 4wd amd 2wd switch and a dial. But my concern is the guage on the dash for front torque doesnt move. If you need any more info just ask. It has a gtr box in it and im.pretty sure the tranfer csse is still there

You open your wallet and start shaking money on the problem until it goes away. Seriously, are you going to ignore the comment above about searching? This type of problem has been bleated about on here about thirty frumptillion times since the forum started. You could search for similar terms, you could search for "AWD diagnostic" or "ATTESSA light" and you should get heaps to wade through.

Could be as simple as a blown fuse/ no fuse for the AWD system, although I'm unsure if that also means the gauge will read nothing as I haven't looked at the gauge when having a blown fuse.

Well I checked the pump thing it still pimes when I bridge those two wires together. But I counted the attessa light and I got numbers.

8, 9, 18 or 19, and 21 so yeah 4 issues with the system. And I dont know why or how to go about fixing them.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
