R34 Gtt No Tcs

[skylne_gts-182]

Hey guys I've just bought myself a 98 R34 GTT. Not I found a few little problems with the car but nothing major. The one thing that's got me is the TCS system doesn't seem to work at all???

I've checked the boot for and mods to the ECU , checked the plug and it's plugged in. I'm just lost at what next. The car breaks traction all the time and I have no slip light at all on the dash board. Not even with ign on

All the plugs are plugged up to the butterfly near the TB.

Please any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

The traction control system sucks hard, and just slams the throttle shut. Disabling it is a smart thing to do.

Making it work again is a waste of time.

Get better tyres, drive better.

How much power is it making?

Should also state that all it really does is put a 2nd throttle to 60% max throttle. I was able to break traction pretty easily with stock power with the traction control on

Please check your ECU fault codes and report back. Instructions here, scroll down for a pic of which pins to short: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266512-reading-nissan-fault-codes-ecu-fault-codes-how-read-them/

I'm currently getting Code 17: ABS-TCS C/U Signal. My TCS never worked since the manual conversion but the ABS is fine.

TCS and SLIP lights are on in the dash too, along with A/T and HICAS because they no longer exist...

Fresh avatar Greg? And yes you're right it's not the most sophisticated system is it...

It's not been dynoed yet but with exhaust pod ECU was thinking around the 200 mark??

I know it's a shit system I just wanted to know how it was disabled.

How do I reset the ECU ?

And I'm thinking I've got a few blown lights on the dash, cause I don't see much of anything pop up with just the ign on

Are there Leds on the 34 ECU? To read fault codes ?

[GTSBoy]

No. Fault codes are read from the dash light. I don't know what light they use in a 34 - it could be a dedicated CEL. I have my Neo in an R32 so I have the cat light as the CEL.

The best way to read the codes is to use a Consult scanner plugged into the Consult port. More to the point.....the best way to read codes on any of the control units in the car is through the Consult port. If you have a buggered sensor (say the steering angle sensor) then you cannot execute the routine required to put the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode. So you can't find out that you've got a buggered sensor. See the fault in Nissan's logic with the silly dances you have to do to enter diag modes? Scanners cut right through that crap.

Resetting the ECU is a simple case of leaving it without power for a while.

A lot of people actually remove dashbulbs to mask hardware faults that bring up the lights. ABS/TCS, being as optional as they are, would be the biggest candidates.

See my previous post above for how to read ecu codes without consult cable. No dash lights sounds sus, definite check the full list of codes

Should I see the engine check light with ign on??

Yeah I know sounds suss right. I gotta a feeling sum1 stuck a low k cluster in there and took a few bulbs out
