I was curious today about diagnosing issues on my car; there's currently nothing I can notice wrong but if I have a powerFC, how do I diagnose what would previously come up as 'check engine light' issues?

Currently, the powerfc only flashes the check engine light for knock and injector duty reaching max but what about other issues? On my impreza, I used to be able to connect two wires together and read off the fault codes from the 'morse code like' flashing.

I can see the sensors on the PowerFC and see that the voltages are sensible but is there anything else I can do? i.e. how do I know if HICAS/4wd have faults?

Well, there are dedicated HICAS and ATTESA diagnostic modes that you can enter by doing a little dance routine. Google for how to. Trouble with those is that they often require the sensors that might have failed to be working as inputs to trigger the mode. ATTESA diagnostic can be triggered from the CU itself though I think, to that's easier.

Otherwise, the best way is to plug a scan tool into the Consult port and interrogate all the CUs directly.

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
