Hey Guys

Just did a service on my car and noticed a TCS SLIP light come on.

now from experience ive known this to occur with fault code 21 ( coilpacks )

however it aint the coilpacks as its returning fault code 17.

Ive tried resetting the fault log. still comes up.

I do notice however that the TCS is no longer working. there is no throttle cut-off mechanism working when i try to brek traction.

Any ideas?

Images would help too since im pretty new to all this.

thanks guys

I think that code relates to the actual TCS throttle motor and/or the position sensor on it. I copied the below from an old SAU thread

Code 17

ABS-TCS control unit circuit

- Throttle control unit detects malfunction in the system (open throttle sensor harness etc.)

- TCS/ABS control unit detects malfunction

I have the same problem running on a PFC, as soon as I plug in the stock ECU the lights go away and everything works perfectly. When I first bought the PFC I plugged it in and it was all good, traction worked and the lights never came on.

All I have done on the engine was install turbo, new splitfires coil packs and put in .8mm plugs. I didn't toucht the TCS or throttle body at all and everything else I have done has been on other parts of the car as well.

I did a fault code check with the stock ECU and its all clear code 55, Im not sure but I think you can't do a fault code check on PFCs

It's really wierd and I still can't figure it out, Here the thread I posted about this issue with a PFC incase anyone has any input

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
