03 V35 5At Issue

Hey guys,

I have a 2003 V35 5AT and recently developed an annoying problem.

When driving in 'Auto' mode, there are harsh 'thud' everytime the auto trans gear changes. If I put the pedal to the floor, I have a little bit of wheel spin that I can feel. When I try to put it to 'Manual' mode, the screen in the dash still remains as 'D' rather than the gear number it would be in if using Manual mode.

Note. The problem first started when I washed my car 'Airred out'. I have air suspension installed. The problem went away the next day and didn't reoccur until yesterday (after a weekend of semi hard driving in the mountains) when the rain started pouring down and I 'airred out' on the wet floor. Not sure if this is relevant, but I've been trying to figure out the circumstances that have occured prior to this issue. The problem on my G35 is still ongoing (as with the wet weather). Despite the hard driving over the weekend, the problem didn't immidiately reoccur. It's taken it several days for it to come back so I've ruled out my driving style as the problem that would cause my 5at issue.

Thoughts guys? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Code for the box was 'overtemp' so I suggested a cooler for the auto.

There were two other codes more pressing, abs wheel sensor and engine knock sensor, which we are planning to look at further. I suspect the wheel sensor might be causing extra load on the gearbox, which may have caused the overheat, but the sensor will have to be swapped before that is confirmed.

      Consider a 35 too...

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      He's right ~ there is no 'magic' with stuff like this ... it is more likely that in the process of looking for the short, the loom/wire 'incidentally' got moved in the process, thus removing the short ~ now, that maybe a wire (in a loom) rubbing against the edge of some grounded metal, that's worn through the insulation, causing the (now intermittent) short to ground. If one wire in a loom has been damaged in this fashion, it's reasonable to presume that other wires beside it may have also be damaged, and now exposed...you can bet the green crusty copper corrosion will start... ...that'd be a pisser, Murphy's Law steps right in as GTS observes...but worse, something like that is easier to find when shorted...ie; unplug bulb and fuse, and put multimeter in continuity mode so you get constant beep, and carefully poke about hoping to find if some movemet of the harness stop the beeping.... ...it's still all a bit Arnie tho' ..It'll be back... 😃

      Yeah, but knowledge of one wire's insulation worn through to short on earth implies the possibility of other wires doing the same. I had my power steering die, because the wire that runs to the solenoid valve on the rack runs in the same loom as the power wire for the O2 sensor. And when the O2 sensor/wire did something stupid and burnt part of that loom to death, the only indication was the shit(ter) fuel economy and the heavy steering. It took deep excavation of the looms in the bay to find the problem. Not wear through in that case, but similar shit.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Ah, I thought he'd wired it to one of the spare ECU inputs! Too long ago since I read that post, ha ha. I've been arguing with radiators, harmonic balancers, alternators and rust since reading it.

      Correct. The ECU cannot read oil temp. (Well, I think it probably can in some situations. I did have the thought of potentially repinning the ECU when I was doing oil pressure). I am using this into the MPVI dongle, so that the MPVI dongle can read oil temperature. It is attached to a VDO gauge which is obviously calibrated to whatever curve the sender actually is using. This would be easy if I could setup a table of voltage to temperature like many sensors, but it appears I cannot do this and can only setup the transform rule which appears to be Input (voltage) x Multiplier, and add an offset. This to me means it MUST be linear. So it may be a complete waste of time wiring this into the ECU. The idea was that the MPVI3 has standalone logging. I wanted to use this instead of a laptop with serial cable (for wideband) for long datalogs. Given the wideband also has electric interference, I may never trust this either in a world where the serial wideband and the analog output wideband do not agree. Last time I did a trace I could see the two wideband traces follow each other, but one was a little leaner than the other. I plan on playing with voltage offsets and actually driving the thing to see how close they correlate. If they never correlate... then, well, maybe I'll never use either. Ideally I'd like to have the Analog wideband read ever so slightly leaner than the serial one, because the serial one is 'correct'. Tuning the car to be ever so slightly too-rich would be the aim. Not needing to have a laptop flying around in the footwell connected with cables is... an advantage. About the only one from the forced upgrade to MPVI3.
