Hi All,

Anyone out there got the guts on what these CODES are that have been thrown up on DATASCAN 1.5 on my R34 GTT 1999?

CODE 16

CODE 17

CODE 46

As far as I can tell these codes do not exist???

I also have CODE 43: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT - I am coming to grips with having to replace this expensive part, as it is not testing very well and the wirelooms are ripped ;)

sounds like you got the same one as me plus a couple. Your issues seems to be your TCS is not hooked up properly. I dont even have TCS and its getting code 16.

Well I am now down to just having to resolve CODE 46, TMS for R34 GTT, I have replaced and set TPS correctly, rewired loom, cleaned all connections points, redone all earth points what a job! Also replaced all fuses throughout car.

CODE 17 is cleared after getting my breaks overhauled, machined and all pads replaced with BENDIX from JustJap, must have been a sensor thing.

Now I just have a bad circuit in Throttle Motor Sensor CODE 46, $190.00 to replace OEM unit so WTH!

I am now very happy with the results, my car is going superbly. PHEW some work I have performed on this car, I feel like an R34 troubleshooting expert now!

I am new to skylines, how do I read the error codes?

I have put the car into diagnostic mode by shorting those two pins to test the o2 sensor (which was fine). Is it related to that?

Well...how about a code 37? I currently have my "TCS OFF" and "Slip" lights on as soon as I move it out of 'P'. That, I assume is a broken wire, as it gradually blipped in and out until giving up completely.

However, I once tried starting it in 'D', which gave me an engine warning light, this code 37. Engine Off for 4+ hrs, still there, so I cleared the codes, and it stayed away, until this afternoon, came back. no apparent reason.

What does 37 refer to?

Harey:

to read the codes, you begin with the ignition off.

-turn key to 'ON' without starting it. (should have about 20,000 lights lit on your dash about now, including the engine light)

-bridge the two pins for 2+ seconds: top row, last on the Right, of the diagnostic port using bent paperclip or similar. (top row, when plastic cover is at the bottom)

-the engine light will now flash the codes. Long gaps for multiples of 10, short gaps for multiples of 1.

-to clear codes, bridge the same pins for 2+ seconds again, then turn ignition off, and then start engine and check that light is no longer lit.

    • Add to this... What blew the fuse too? If a circuit feeding power to the coils was blown, how were the coils even functioning to let the car start?   There is some seriously wrong wiring in that car for certain, and I'm betting there is some melted cables somewhere, but I can't explain the 30v either, unless there is something back feeding on that power line that has a dodgy power system and the electronics are giving it hell.
    • This is typically the case with such threads. What I cannot quite get my head around is where a reading above 12V (or 13.8 or 14.x or whatever the maximum achievable voltage might actually be in that specific car) comes from. 25V or 30V should be completely impossible. There's no way to create it. Hard to answer that question. It will literally depend on whether the current tune relies on the values as set. I'd guess it probably does. ie, the real base pressure being 49 means that the flowrate through the injectors will be higher than if it was 43.5. The Haltech's modelling should be handling that, but because it thinks the pressure is only 43.5, then..... I dunno. It should be thinking that it will be injecting less fuel with each pulse duration than is actually happening. So, something is definitely not-as-it-should-be, but specifically what that is is beyond my abilities to imagine. Someone like Dose who spends more time with Haltechs might have a better thought.
    • Bit of a late reply here as me and my wife have been really busy with new born twins. I finally got these issues fixed and it was something really stupid that caused all of this 🤦‍♂️... After alot of mucking around with trying to figure out what is causing these issues, I back probed one of the R35 coils on the power 12v supply, with the engine running it got 25v! And I thought, hang on..., this isn't normal. Measured my battery with the engine running to check for over charge from the alternator and it wasn't that. So then I dissconnected the R35 PRP coil harness and backprobed the power supply on the engine loom where the ignition coil harness connects, with the key on ignition (engine off) it measured 30v! So then I had to trace where that high voltage was coming from and it lead me to the brown relay "ECM & IGN coil relay" inside the cabin next to the ECU on the passanger wall. This relay feeds power to the ECM and ignition coils. Tried swapping it with another same relay. nah still 30v.. coming from the 2 green/white wires in the brown relay. So then I set my multi meter to the beep continuity mode and probed every fuse on the fuse box inside the cabin to try and find this high voltage power source. Wasn't any of the fuses inside the cabin. Then probed all the fuses in the engine bay and BAM, got my power source that was a 10AMP fuse called "ENG CONT". Pulled the fuse out, and what do you know... it was blown. 🤦‍♂️  So then I quickly replaced it with a new 10AMP fuse, started the car and yeah haha [insert extreme face palm]... The RPM blimping thing went away, car idles smoothly now like what it was before. I swear! I checked all my fuses with my test light twice before I created this forum thread. I think, maybe because one side of that faulty 10A fuse lit up on my test light, I must have thought it was still ok and not blown. But now I know to have both sides light up on the test light when checking fuses... I hate diagnosing electricals.... I'd take mechanical problems over electrical problems any day🤣. Drove the car around my suburb with the engine up to operating temp and it runs fine like before. However, I notice that my fuel pressure is still at 49psi. So I'm thinking this must be normal for my system as I've upgraded the stock fuel pump to a Walbro 255L/h with a constant 12v mod.  But anyway, I'm just glad to have my daily back on the road! Thanks everyone for the replies on this thread, all sorted now! One thing I want to ask you tuner guys, my base fuel pressure on the haltech main settings are set to 43.5psi from default (my tuner must have not checked the fuel pressure maybe when tuning my car?). Do I set it to what it actually is idling on at 49psi? Or just leave it ("if it aint broke, don't fix it/leave it")?  
    • The max they would go for me is 50.
    • That cannot have been a fun set of drilling. The stock "baffle" looks identical to rb26, I just cut fuel cell foam to fit the full length under the baffle.
