Limp Mode And Error Codes

[V35_Paul]

Hey guys.

Well.... From the start.

Got my extractors put by a local exhaust dude and it took him 2 days to put them on. On the morning of the 3rd day i went to pick my V. The whole time he had my car the bonnet was open so the battery is flat. He and an auto sparky try all day to jump start it, charge the battery, F#*k with the fuses and in the end get it going.

In short i pick it up drive down the street and it goes into limp mode (engine light, 'VDC OFF' light and slip light come and the car wont go over 1500rpm) so I limp to my mechanic and he is busy so he hasn't looked to much at my car. What he has done is get some error codes "P1122 P1126" problems with the throttle body (there were 2 other codes p1705 p1815 but they cleared and never came back and i don't know what they are). Now i think when they tried jump starting the car they have messed something up with the throttle body or it's freaking out becasue of the extractors. My mechanic is going to do a throttle body valve reset on monday so fringers crossed.

Just want to ask you guys, has anyone gone into limp mode and what caused it?

And has anyone ever had the same error codes as me?: P1122 P1126 P1705 P1815

man, these cars have more electronics than a scud missile guiding system...

good luck solving it...

they must have knocked something over or something not connected properly, or the ecu detected that you've been naughty and changed something you shouldn't changed and decided to go on limp mode

[fcruz3r]

holy s**t ...hope they didn't mess up ur ecu. Maybe the extractors are screwing with the o2 readings and causing the car to retard timing

[V35_Paul]

holy s**t ...hope they didn't mess up ur ecu. Maybe the extractors are screwing with the o2 readings and causing the car to retard timing

Yeah my mechanic said worst case the ecu has packed it in.

[iamhe77]

Yeah my mechanic said worst case the ecu has packed it in.

Why would your ECU have packed it in Paul? Because your "exhaust guy" was shorting it out trying to get the car started again?

If the battery dies, why did they have to start f**king around with the fuses???

Anyway....

P1222 Temperature Sensor Circuit - maybe check that all fuses have been put back in correctly?

P1226 Closed Throttle Position Learning - I would imagine that you are being prompted for this because the throttle body was played with or "cleaned" during the install?

P1705 TP Sensor A/T - Throttle position sensor? If this sensor is now buggered, it may explain why the car is getting confused trying to figure out the Closed Throttle position

p1815 Pressure Control Solenoid short (???)

Why not just take the car to Nissan or a mech with an OBD2 scanner? Call up and ask if you can have it scanned on Consult at Nissan. It may cost you nothing (although doubtful) and it can print out a little receipt of the errors and their code if you want.

On the Zed there is a method to retrieve CEL information (not sure if this will work on your V but I don't see why not).

Manual Method from 350Z-tech...

1. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch ON and wait 3 seconds.

2. Repeat the following two procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds:

1. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).

2. Fully release the accelerator pedal.

3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.

The CEL blinks in a series of long and short blinks, indicating which errors are occuring.

10 long blinks = 0

1 long blink = 1

If there are multiple errors it will blink out the errors and repeat.

Just my 2c, but I don't think installing extractors will have been the root cause of your TPS issues. What most likely occurred was that your mechanic removed the trottle body for better access to the exhuast manifold bolts and it was mishandled during installation / temporary storage / reinstallation. The throttle body electrics are very sensitive and prone to damage if handled roughly.

[V35_Paul]

the codes where p1122 not p1222 and p1126 not p1226.

Just spoke to my mec and he did the throttle body reset but nothing changed. He looking at the fuse the auto sparky put in and he had looped around the busted fuse with his new fuse. It's got everyone scratching there heads

I think the exhaust guy and his auto sparky guy blew the fuse trying to jump start it.

[iamhe77]

Sorry Paul, miss read the codes... must be a bit tired today.

Looking at those codes, are you able to try a replacement throttlebody? Possibly off a Z33 (they are the same) item.

I tend to agree that, besides the fuse issue, quite possibly the throttlebody was mishandled (dropped?) and has a problem.

Our throttle body's do seem to be a little temperamental.

I cleaned mine with grease remover and ever since, it would remain too open (cold idle was at 1700-1800rpm, warm idle ~1000rpm).

I did wipe away a fair amount of crud from the butterfly so maybe the gear belt was stretched? (if it uses one) All I am saying is it doesn't take much to upset one and that maybe you should look at testing a replacement to see if it fixes the issue.

Oh yeah, and the "closed throttle position" reset is performed each time you turn the car off (it is that click-click-clack sound).

[V35_Paul]

Crazy!!!!!

It's not the throttle body. It was a another blown fuse in............ my after market cruise control!! (you reading this Chris?)

Becasue the cruise control was after market it didn't come up on the error codes but becasue it's all conected to throttle the error codes where coming up on the T/B.

So relieved it's not the T/B.

Just wish i hadn't bought one yesturday from the States.

I pick up my car tomorrow morning if there is nothing else wrong (more blown fuses ). Fingers crossed.

[iamhe77]

Haha! Good to hear it is a simple/cheap fix.

Weird, but does make sense!

[V35_Paul]

Just found out the cruise control has died.

I'll need a new one now

[Stephen Thorpe]

make the exhaust guy pay... because he shouldn't have flatten the battery installing pipes to the engine!!

[V35_Paul]

He said he would pay for a damage. Talked to him this morning.
