just trying to help a friend out, he recently bought his r32 gtr and on the weekend he changed his brake fluid as the car didnt stop on the first pump of the peddle, so after bleeding the brakes his abs light and 4wd light are permanatly on, he tried a few more time with no luck, brakes are still weak and lights are still on, checked all fuses and all still ok, so wondering if anyone has any idea whats happening with his dodgy gtr.

I've got the same problem with my R32 GTR. The 4WD light is on because the car is only in rwd (it constantly lights up in 2nd with medium pedal presure) but I haven't sussed why the ABS light is on.

in the boot theres a silver kinda box under your parcel tray, with the key to on, check the error LED on this box, then look up the error number on the net or post it here.

I diagnosed my problem (save as above - no abs and no 4wd) as a faulty rear left speed sensor on the diff, replaced the sensors with a spare i had and problem solvered.

The error LED should help you

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
