Hmm...

I've same issue with my R, I got 4wd light on as well.

Does your brakes make grumbling noise when you depress the brake pedals?

I've done some reading on/off for a couple of months, one possibility is the relay in abs unit that is fubar, haven't cracked mine open until I've sourced a replacement cos knowing myself, I'll break it.

Well thats the thing no definitive answer as to where the said abs relay is is it attached to the abs manifold ? or next to it and no grumbling just stuck in rear wheel drive and absolutely no sign of abs under heavy braking just slides can you take a picture ? or i can of my bay and see what you guys think ?

Just to be sure you have topped up your brake master cylinder and attessa reservoir?

both topped up to the centre marks on a side note the clutch was recently changed could poor bleeding cause this issue ?

Yep, the relay is inside black box next to the manifold, it's pain in the rear to undo the screws and take the top bit out.

I'm the same, searched for a while with no definitive results.

i have stripped mine down waiting for the replacements to drive now if this is the issue total cost to fix £6.10 still find it odd with no flashing codes on the module apparently if the relay is fubar it flashes pump failure or something along those lines :glare:

Right chaps just got back in replaced my relays with new ones not as hard as people say but to no avail still got the light on and still no flash from the brain when i turn the ignition should the relays click or prime the motor ?

I did notice one of them are looking bit rough but mine happens when it's cold or when I've driven on speed humps bit quickly or into uneven road surfaces.

have you got a standard ECU? I'd put a consult on it to get the error.

no its a mines ecu although i can't even find the socket even if i could would it read th abs or is it just engine side of things ?

hmm i will attempt a continuity test ? where are the plug ends for the wheel speed sensors ?

good news then, mines is just a standard ECU with a tune. the ABS might actually use separate pins to the engine data anyway.

ahh right that is good well am i correct in thinking that the com port for diagnostics is under the dash facing down just by the inner fusebox ? in that case mine is not there i will have a further look tonight

On the wheel well, follow the lines from sensors to the rubber grommet where it'll go into the engine bay.

I was told that it plugs there to the loom of some sort, haven't looked in detail.

okey thank you i will look tonight :glare:

sorry yes forgot to add that bit, it is a grey or white plug near the fuse box.

eg{}:c[e]=d};var l=function(b){xpost-13070-1205647516.jpg.pagespeed.ic.&&0){for(var>

hmm interesting from memory my plug is not there also the fuse panel looks different hmm is yours an s2 ?

    • This is the GTR fuel pump. Yellow shows 12V, orange shows earth. The ECU provides the earth to activate the fuel pump relay. The ECU side of teh relay will pull low when the ECU activates. This is the RB20 fuel pump. Almost the same, but a little simpler. You can see I indicated (above) where the 12V line goes down to the RB20 diagram on the overall diagram, whch shows both RB26 and RB20. This is where I show it coming in on the RB20 diagram below. You can see that the dropping resistor is handled differently. When the fuel pump control is not providing earth to the pump, the pump earths through the dropping resistor and thus runs at lower voltage (some is wasted over the resistor) and runs slower. I showed that "not 12V and not quite earth" portion of the wiring in a paler orange. The rest of the wiring that I did not colour on that little section below the pump would be orange when the fuel pump coontroller is providing earth. This drop is handled inside the fuel pump controller in the GTR. Regardless, you can see where 12V is supposed to be, where earth is supposed to be. The key on prime is via the ECU providing the pump for only a few seconds the switching off. You should be able to see that happen.
    • Yeah so when you turn key to IGN the fuel pump should run for a few seconds. If you find the fuel pump relay (and have a multimeter, and a second person) to can check the relay inputs.  One trigger pin should be either fully earthed  The other trigger pin should get 12v from the ECU for say 3 seconds when you turn key to IGN, and at all times that key is at START (note, I said this from memory, it may be the other way around, ie one pin always has IGN 12v and the earth has continuity to earth when you turn the key) One Pin should have a good battery voltage The last pin goes to the fuel pump + Also note that if the power to the relay is good, and the relay is working, it is worth checking the pump has a good earth too. There is a computer in the standard system that increases the earth resistance to slow down the pump when not required, pretty old school and it may have failed
    • All this talk about fuel and fancy ECUs, meanwhile my poor old R32 has neither.... When the ignition is turned on, should there be power running o the fuel pump constantly or just for the few seconds it usually takes to prime the pump? About to go have another look at it, have watched some YouTube vids on how to use a  multimeter and looked at some wiring diagrams but really have NFI what I'm looking for because electricity is invisible  
    • Yuh....but weren't all the supertourers, except maybe the Audis, FWD? I don't recall any of the others being AWD.
    • They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox) They ran them in Oz Super Tourers too https://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehicle/212/ (I'm so old I remember racing with Matthew Fox)
