4wd isn't working and so trying to diagnose.

Tried to bleed the system yesterday but after disconnecting the green/white plug (pic attached), The pump didn't run and i could take the bleed valve completely out of the transfer case.

Someone suggested getting access to the Attesa ECU and reading the faults from that via flashing LED. I got to the ecu but i couldn't see any blinking lights or anywhere that could blink? (pictures attached)
Am i missing something here?

Tried turning the key to 'On', pulling the key out etc But still cannot see a red flashing light.

Can't even see a hole in the case or even a light in general?

Does the attessa motor prime when you go to reds?

Reds? As in turning the key to 'ON'?

Nah, I've never heard it working. (only owned the car 6 days)

Fuse blown or removed?

Could be the power relay for the attessa too, I think there is one for the pump motor and one for the ecu.

I don't think so, the fuse under the bonnet i checked and it working. I don't think there's one in the cabin is there?

relay near the booster clicks, is that the relay you're talking about?

Yes the one just before it turns over.

Well. First you need to get the pump running. Have you visually inspected it?

Checked fuses as mentioned

It actually had a switch which i got told was to switch it between 2wd and 4wd;

It has a blue and green wire running up into the green plug pictured below. The green plug wasn't plugged into anything and after a bit more looking i found the black box next to the fuse box on the plastic and plugged it back in. (Anyone know what this box is?).

I still don't think the pump is running but i'm about to try and bleed it again.

Ummm. What car is this for? Not a 32....

Series 2 C34 Stagea.

Update;

Good News - Pump may be working now as the torque gauge goes to halfway once the green plug from the first post is unplugged.

Bad News - No fluid is coming out of the bleeder nipple at the transfer case.. Any ideas? I tried turning the ignition off and on x20 to see if it would push the air out but it doesn't seem to be working. What would it mean if i've got a reading on the front torque gauge but no fluid getting to the bleed nipple?

Does the reservoir have fluid in it?

Also that switch. I wouldn't be using that if I were you.

There may also be some shit happening with whoever put that switch in

Yeah reservoir is a little over full.

Yeah i don't plan to.

On an S1 at least, the "flashing led" is actually on the PCB of the ECU, and is visible through a small hole in the case of the ECU. Also extremely difficult to see when its tucked away. Youll also need to check it while the engine is running after you've noticed a 4WD warning light on the dash. After a rash of 4WD errors I had, I drilled a tiny hole in the interior trim. Then I can stick a small camera, like a phone cam up the hole and record the flashes.

Followed this thread from facebook lol. The torque gauge isn't a measurement I'm afraid, just a setpoint from the attesa controller, doesnt actually mean the torque is being applied to the fronts.

Yep, looks like you're right. Damn. Pump isn't working

Hmm, i might have to wait until nightfall to see. I just bolted the ecu back into place.

Anyone know what the plugs posted below are for? I'm guessing the Blue one is for the pump (Has power both when the green plug from the first post is plugged in or not?)

Anyone know what this other one is for? it goes to various parts around the pump to other parts however does not get power whether the green plug is plugged in or not?

Found a way to get the error codes (http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/190973-4wd-light-for-s2s)

I got 74 (E-TS/LSD actuator motor) and 76 (Pressure Switch)

Where would I find the pressure switch / how to test and is there a way to directly run the pump to see if it works? E.g. bypass the pressure switch if that's what turns it on?

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
