Hi everyone,

Have not been on here for quite sometime but hope it still is a good resource for car enthusiasts.

I have a 4 wheel drive fault which logs on between 1 minute to 10 minutes after start up.

That is the 4 wheel drive turns off and light inside dash lights up.

When I turn off engine and start it again it resets and allows me to once again use the 4 wheel drive.

I have been told it could be a number of issues, but I believe it more likely is the switch or circuit that

is next to the gear box, this is apparent as it always truns off when I disengage the gears and let it roll

to a stop.

I have also been told that the 4wd needs bleeding and that can be the issue.

Anyone know what the costs are of fixing this issue...and who can do it while I wait.??????????????

I am in the north side of Melbourne and hope someone can help.

Thanks in advance,,, :)

under the back parcel shelf you wil have the Attessa ECU. it will be throwing flash codes with a red light.

there is a manual flaoting aroudn with what they all mean,

its a pain to read. ie 4 slow flashes 2 fast then 7 slow

otherwise get it hooked up on a nissan consault

Mine was throwing ABS fault codes, Changed the module and still the same issue.

Never worked it out in the end

    • 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.
