Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has had brake switch as an error code come out of their V35 350GT-8 before.

The transmission service has been fully completed and computer reset but she is still not changing gears and we are getting brake switch error coming out of the tranny.

Have been corresponding with CVT NZ and Nuwan but we are all at a bit of a loss now.

Cheers

Erggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry to tell you champ, but once you have a problem with the GT8 trans that is it - you will fix one, develop a new error, fix the next, develop a new one etc etc etc ...... go read all the threads and nightmare stories .... most end up getting parted out ... didn't I warn you on here before you bought the car?

Unfortunately I had already bought the car.

The general consensus from all who know a thing or two about them is our issue isn't the transmission. Appears we have a wiring issue with communication going to the transmission. So looks like the transmission isnt the bad guy this time.

Check that the ecu is getting it's brake signal to the engine ecu, pin 101 I think. That would throw an engine light though. I don't think there is a direct brake signal to the gearbox but I haven't played with the cvt's at all yet.

If it is in the box you will need to get it on a consult 3 unit for diagnosis. What unit did you use to read the error? Do you have the code number?

The mechanic used consult 2, I have just asked if we can get a consult 3 to hook up to it.

In the G35 manual it appears that the brake switch is apart of the vehicle stability system and the switch most would classify as the brake switch is in fact called the vehicle stop light switch. So we are seeing what we can find in relation to the wiring for this ASCD Brake Switch to see if it could be this.

Hopefully the consult 3 gives us some more information.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
