actually its probably not safe to drive the car without the pump in the car. the AWD system relies on the fluid being there to continue to lubricate it

i only know of 1 other car that needed a full pump change, and he bought my spare pump assembly

He assures me it's fine to drive as the clutch pack has spring pressure to always have it engaged with %5 load so it doesn't need the pump to supply minimum pressure. Isn't the clutch pack in its own oil in the transfer case? I think that's the only part that would always need oil.

I would have thought with other guys having the pressure switch fault they would have looked into it. He said the longer you leave it the more damage it does with the pump chewing itself out. In this case it's about $2k to exchange.

He does all the work for Northshore and many other dealers Aus wide plus retail customers.

To stop the 4x4 light from coming on at start up i flick the switch into Synchro then switch it off once car is running. 4x4 light never comes on after doing that. Not a fix but handy to know.

Interesting, I've never tried that. I'll definitely give it a try.

I did a flush a couple of years ago when the light first starting coming on - but I'll give it another go.

When I leave my car parked on my drive way with the engine running a can hear a chirp about once per minuite. I thought it was something to do with the little servo motor on the HICASS. Reading this I now ussume that it is the ATTESA E-TS electric pump on top of the rear diff.

So is the chirping normal or is it something to be concerned about. In the 4 or 5 months I have owned the car the 4WD light has come on about half a dozen times. It will happen about a minuite after start up after reversing out of a parking space and sitting for a while before pulling away. The only way to clear the light is to restart the car. it has not done it now for about 2 months so i assume its OK.

Should I think about changing the ATF fluid in the pump? How about the NS-ATF in the clutch pack. I read that the Pump only pressurises the clutch pack and the pump fluid does not mix with the clutch fluid.

On another note, I tried out the ABS the other day and I noticed that after hard braking the ABS pump makes a wierd noise like a chirping note that lasts a second or two. is that normal?

You would really need to see what codes it has thrown as to if there's a problem or not. The system will activate the pump randomly to keep the set pressure but it's usually for a few seconds and not just a quick chirp. You can usually here it at work when you first start the car as it needs to build the set pressure again so the attesa is ready to act upon slip. If its just a quick chirp on start up you may have an issue with the pressure switch. It looses the coating on the solenoid rod inside the pressure switch and starts to randomly stick on or off. Thats why if you leave it too long it damages the pump as it ca stick on. Sorry for my lack of technical description.

The pressure switch is between pin 3 and 6. If you have a look at the diagram I would say if the motor is cutting out then it has got pressure and its cuts the motor. The top right of the diagram is the motor circuit. there is a motor relay an actuator relay and a ETS solenoid. You could try putting constant 12v onto pin2 of the motor and see what happens.

I also have this in english but its too big to upload.

Thanks brad I'll give that a go tomorrow. I remember though when I checked voltage at that plug with car off and running it only has 4.7volts, Ryan's had the same. Will 12 volts damage anything?

So can I earth out pin 6 on the 4pin plug at the pump to see if that activates the pressure solenoid to see if it does stick? Wiring and wiring diagrams aren't my strong point ?

Edited by slippylotion

]Yes I would say that is ok to short pin 6 to earth on the motor unit at the back there is 2 plugs by the look of it. You should be able to trick the relays as well. Then if all the hard wired stuff works then it could be the control unit itself.

This block/logic diagram might help if you could translate it

I dont know exactly what plug you measured 4.7v at. It might be your measuring across the contact and have the motor or solenoid before the earth which would cause a volt drop. Did you measure the plug from each pin to earth with it disconnected. I cant see anywhere where there should be 4.7v. There is only 12v ign and 12v bat

Ah there's my wiring skills at work. I just measured across both pins 1 & 2 on the body loom side.

in that case you were just measuring the volt drop across the motor. At least you proved there is a circuit there and its the same as another one.

Well just pulled out the pump assmb to send off monday. nice easy job taking only 30mins and most of that spent getting tools ready and car on the ramps.

Fingers crossed its only the pressure switch to make it a cheap fix.

The Service Manual talks a lot about the 圧力SW this being the pressure switch, says the below about testing it:

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
