R33 Gearbox Stuck In Limp Mode

[V3N0M]

So I recently had some stuff done to my R33, the 30 amp ignition fuse got blown so we swapped the 30 amp LSD fuse with it so the car could at least be started.

At this time the Hicas fuse was also removed.

After all the work was said and done I attempted to take the car for a drive, I noticed it was in limp mode and left it where it was.

All 30 amp fuses have been replaced along with the Hicas fuse being replaced.

I did a bit of googling and came with the fact that it could be the transmission output speed sensor.

Does anyone know where that is in a Series 1 R33 ?

If it isn't that what could have been the cause of the sudden limp mode and how can I get it out of it?

Much Appreciated for any help received.

VSS is on the lower right side of the tranny.

Your best bet wil be to take it to a workkshop, hook up a scan tool and look for the TCU codes.

Ha! Always the simple stuff. That was the main loom plug into the TCU itself, yes?
