I've scoured the net and can't find much useful stuff at all.

ABS and 4WD lights illuminate after starting the car. There's no antiskid functionality and no 4WD, as you assume since these lights are telling us.

I've got code 15 and 56 on the ABS/Attessa ECU in the boot. I've traced 15 to be a faulty servo on the ABS unit - putting a 5 ohm load across the suspect servo (that reads open circuit) gets rid of code 15.

I now suspect the G-sensor under the centre console to be the culprit - I've disconnected it and the ECU remains at code 56. I took the G sensor apart and didn't go further than removing the lid and top PCB till I realised its really not designed for any repair.

The R32 4WD system is electrically completely different to the R33, I've got the R32 complete service manual, the ECU is different, the G sensor is different, the ABS unit is different etc. Whether they're just a pin reshuffle or more, I dont know.

I've also got the JPNZ R33 manual but thats only for all R33 engines, not the rest of the car.

If anyone has any info to help, I'd really appreciate it before shelling out dollars for a G sensor.

Cheers

relays click once completing a circuit, more along the lines of continual tick from suspect relays indicating fault in circuit. i had this problem when abs awd light came on. ecu was giving numerous error codes like front left speed sensor then right speed sensor abs actuator circuit abs actuator motor. many hours spent finally located problem in 4wd pump.

only suggesting an idea. good luck

ahh no worries.

Its certainly no repeatedly clicking relays, everything else seems sound.

ABS doesn't work even though the ABS light goes away after I fixed the O/C solenoid in the ABS servo unit and code 15 dissapeared.

I wonder if the G sensor is required by ABS as well.... Only the 4WD light is still illuminated on the dash.

I really really really really need the rest of the wiring diagrams for the car, it will make life so much easier. The ones in the links by Link (no pun intended, a fantastic resource :)) only have the R33 engine diagram as I already have....

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
