Attesa/auto Problems

[Big Jim]

I have just taken my car to get some more work done to the exhaust

droped the car off in good working order

they did do some welding on the car with one of those spike preventers on the battery

went to pick the car up and got told it would not go into gear

i took it for a drive and got 100m up the street when a ABS light and 4WD light came on the dash

the A/T light did come on for a bit but went out again

we put the car on the hoist and had a look the transfer case was red hot like it had been slipping

I think they have spiked the ATTESA computer causing a fault where there is no direct drive to any wheels? maybe

it is in a auto workshop at the moment so fingers crossed its not to bad

any advise on what could be wrong would be a great help

check the 4WD fuse in the engine bay, sounds like it's behaving exactly like it..... red hot transfer case is not good!

[Big Jim]

all of the fuses looked good but i dont know if the relay was working

[SMOKEYV35]

can you hear it clicking on and off rapidly?

you can always try an ECU reset.

[Big Jim]

just got word back from the trans shop

and its all good there

now to the auto sparkys

how do you reset the ECU?

[SMOKEYV35]

ecu reset, just pull the negative lead off the battery - depress the brake pedal a few times to drain any residual power - leave it a few minutes then reconnect the battery lead.

if it still throws codes, then you will have to start chasing the problem.

i'd be trying to think of a cause and effect scenario - so, the fact that they were under the car working on the exhaust - i'd be thinking of things under the car - like maybe they've knocked a plug loose in the side of the trans?

Which trans shop was it at? Sounds trans related to me for sure.

A descent trans shop will pick up what's going on.

Insist they get it flat beded to mike at mv automatics in blackwood as hes got all the necessary diag. stuff for these cars, while ur at it get him to do a shift kit ;-)

decent flatbed ride from WA poofter boy...

i say cya auto... hello 32R gearbox

[Big Jim]

after a trip to trans shop and auto sparkys which was all goo

the problem seemed to be that when they had it on the 2 post hoist apparently the LHR axle had fallen out of the diff

i do find this hard to believe but have order the circlip and seal for the axle and booked it in to get the diff looked at

Didnt see this before, knocking WA. You can talk dick licker. SA is the city of churches and pedophiles. Usefull comments would be more helpful dont you think. Oh thats right you dont read or think so scrap that idea. BTW some ppl like their autos and im using a GTS4 box -not building a track car here.

Big Jim take it to someone reputable, i can suggest a handfull and dont let some halfwitt fck with your car. Even better DIY.
