R32 Attesa Not Working, No Relevant Codes

hey guys, need some help with this one.

ATTESA was working fine a year ago, but the car has been down getting new work done.

I have since deleted HICAS, Deleted ABS, and swapped from Power FC to AEM EMS.

There is no 4WD light coming on but my torque gauge is dead, it doesnt move.

(I had this problem when i first got the car and it was the g-sensor, i swapped it with a new one and have had 4wd since than)

When i flash codes from the attesa ECU i get code 8 and code 9 which are both for the ABS module and expected. From what I read this doesnt affect 4wd. no other codes. I know the Attesa ECU needs to see RPM, TPS Etc. But i would think it would throw a code if it weren't seeing these things. The aem has the proper circuit dedicated to TPS and RPM out, its not like i need to configure those outputs.

If anyone has been down this road before please help me out.

If it was giving me a code at least I'd know where to look.

thanks in advance

ATTESA uses the ABS sensors for detecting wheel slip. If a lack of ABS didn't affect ATTESA, then why on earth would Nissan have built error codes into the system?

Any error causes ATTESA to not work. If you don't have a AWD light, then have you checked the bulb is working?

had the same issue with my old R32 GTS-4 with RB25DET and Microtech - was never able to devise a way to make it work, and mine didn't throw a light either. I tried doing the wire crossing for the TPS signal, piggbacking a stock ECU onto the old loom, etc, no luck. The only possible lead I got told about was the existence of a signal box to make the ATTESSA ECU independent of needing TPS signal from the engine ECU?

If you ever manage to work it out please post up how you did it.

Yes I know attesa uses abs sensors but they Report directly to the attesa ecu (it's also the abs ecu hence why it blinks abs codes as well as attesa codes) so it's getting the signals it needs just fine

The codes 8 and 9 are relevant to the abs pump which has nothing to do with the 4wd

I've read about several (a lot) of people pulling abs pump out with no 4wd problems at all

No help?

Not if you call people trying to help "bozo" :no:

ATTESA clearly relies on the ABS system working. If you've disabled ABS by removing the pump, then ATTESA is well within its rights to shut down as well.

Have you confirmed that the AWD warning light is working?

Bozo is the guys screen name i was responding too.... -_-

As that's just not true I've searched and found over a dozen people removing the abs pump, getting codes 8/9 and have no Negative affects to the awd function

So I know that's not my problem

But for shits and giggles I'm going to pick up my abs pump at my old shop to plug it in and see but seeing how it's been done time and time again (and r32 n1 models come with no abs too) I doubt it will change anything.

ATTESA needs wheel speed sensors, yes I know this, I accidentally left one unplugged one time and got the code from the attesa ecu, when I plugged it back it it functioned perfect again, but it doesn't need the abs pump/solenoid assembly, that is strictly for ABS

been seeing a lot of these R32 ATTESA threads coming up lately, can't remember if I ever looked for flashing LEDs on mine. Did not help that mine had a Stagea RB25 motor and gearbox as well, car was a headf**k from start to finish.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
