Powerfc Handcontroller Gremlin

[carlo]

A few weeks ago I dusted off the skyline (literally) and decided to drive it to work for a change. Whilst the car is running fine the PowerFC hand controller appears to have developed a split personality.

Cue the blurry camera phone photo...

Has anyone seen similar issues before? I am curious if its the hand controller or the PowerFC and if its potentially a easy fix. The hand controller is a handy diagnostic tool, so it would be nice if it worked.

A search of the forums and the net yielded nothing more than adds for yogurt, so I did try!

appears to be hand controller related rather than PFC unit, maybe open it up and have a sqiz.. maybe easy fix.. otherwise 2nd hand replacement if it can be fixed by electronics shops

This has happened to me before.

Disconnect battery negative, unplug power fc and hand controller, then plug it all back in and the battery and it was fixed.

and where have you been hiding?!

anyway, try the above about disconnecting everything etc. but sadly if that doesn't fix it, it's most likely the HC dying. there are a few places that can fix them. try nams auto electrical. he can fix just about anything that is electric and import related.

who's the noob?

Try plugging it into another PFC and see if the problem is still there. If it is you know it's the controller.

If not then you know you need repairs to the ECU.
