How To Retrieve 4wd/attesa Fault Codes? S2 C34 Stagea

[IBoughtANissan]

I've got a 98' Series 2 Stagea and the 4wd doesn't work (See more here: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/463038-help-with-fault-finding-attesa-system-attesa-ecu-c34/#entry7685341)

Just wondering how do i retrieve error codes relating to the 4wd system? I've got to the ABS/ESP computer (Also 4wd?) and a few forum posts reference a red flashing light through a hole or someone said it is on the PCB itself. I've pulled the cover off the computer and could not see a light anywhere (See photos attached).

Is there another way to get the codes?

do you have access to a consult? It will report the error.

Where are you located (not recorded on your profile)

Asked a mate today who said he might have one. If I shorted out the two pins and got 5 slow, 5 fast (No fault?), Will the consult pickup on the 4wd light error?

I'm from Gosford,NSW (1 hour north of Sydney)

[Duncan]

sorry my japanese is too poor (ie non existant) to tell if 5 slow 5 fast means no error. maybe someone else can help. Page C-32 in the stagea manual

My understanding of that list is that it's saying the 4wd light wouldn't be illuminated for error 55 on that list?

Also that list corresponds to the led flashing light on the Attesa ecu in the boot (which mine does not have a flashing led)?
Is there another list hidden away somewhere that corresponds to the consult port fault codes?

[Duncan]

here's hoping someone else can help....I just use the consult and it comes with at least a basic description of the fault.

same boat as you pal no flashing just 4wd and abs light ?

[IBoughtANissan]

No luck so far mate. Got a mate with a consult connector so I'm going to chuck it on tomorrow and see if it comes back with anything.

If you work it out please let me know mate

Just checking - it should be behind the coin tray but sometimes they seem to fall down or otherwise become detached. Have you had a look upwards from under the dash (need to be a bit of a contortionist)?

i have looked right under the dash i can see the grey plastic bracket from its plug where it looked to have snapped off of its mount i may remover the lower dash section soon
