hey everyone,,

my car was misfiring a bit recently,,,, so first thing i did today was run the ecu diagnostic,,

ran the engine for a few mins,, then ran the diagnostic,, and came up with error 17 & 46,,

thought it might have something to do with the car not being warm enough,, so i wamed up the car,,, but it still showed the same error,,,, while i was there, i ran the 02 sensor diagnostic,, that came out fine,,

wierd thing is,, last week i was only getting error 55,, i.e all good,, and now am getting 17 & 46,, and i can't find out what these mean,,,

car seems to be running fine,, i.e boosting,,,, had the plugs checked out few weeks back,, they r fine,, injectors are clean,,

anyone got any idea's?

, none,, except exhaust,,,

everything else is standard,,,

i also checked all the coils,, they all had about the same resistance,, can't remember how much it was,, but they were all the same,, so i figured it wouldn't be the coils,,,

i sprayed wd40 in all the connectors i could get to,, but still the error keeps coming up,,

its wierd,, coz the car seems to be running fine,, except for the misfire here and there,,,, but its the error codes thats got me baffled,,

hmmm,, my abs light isnt on,, fuse isn't blown either..

and still getting 17 & 46,,, just went and checked again to make sure,,

might try out my abs tomorrow to see if it makes any difference,,

ya,, its got me stumped,,,

How do you get into diagnostic mode to being up the error codes on the 34?

same way you do the other skyline,,, find the diagnostic plug,,,,

its under the driver's side dash... have a look underneath,, the dash,, alsmost inline with the accelerator pedal,,, (i think),,, there should be a small black cover,, take that out,, and on it will be attached a grey plug,, i used the paper clip method,, u get to diagnostic mode,, i'll try to take pics to show where the plug is,, but you should find it fairly easily,,

type in "paper clip ecu" in the search path, and i'm sure u'll come up with something,, if u get code 55, than all is fine with the ecu diagnostic

either way,, i still have the errors,, its so annoying,,, car is running perfectly,,,

thanks, i'm getting check engine light, slip and the TCS ;)

Which two sockets do I put the clip into?

Ed

have a read of this

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=paper+clip+ecu

more for the r33,, but once u find the plug on the r34,, the process is the same,,

note,, diag shown for the plug pins is upside down in that thread,,

good luck

Hi Afro

ylwgtr2 wasn't correct with his comment "bnr34 code 46 is an abs code,and theres no 17 listed."

If you have a R34 with a RB25DET (he might be using r33 data) code 17 means -

ABS-TCS control unit circuit

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

- TCS/ABS control unit detects malfunction

A 46 means -

Throttle Motor sensor signal circuit

- Throttle motor sensor input voltage is approx. 4.8V or greater (open circuit) or less than 0.3V (short circuit) for predetermined time.

So I'd say you have a throttle or electrical problem...

Hope that helps.

hmmm i would have to disagree with you on that one ian,and agree at the same time.....BNR34(GTR) code 46 Is definately an ABS code.....I understand that he has a ER34(GT-T) thats why i stated BNR and not ER....I posted the info as a guide as ER and BNR "may" be the same....Although i shouldve posted that part!!72 is the BNR 34 TPS code

Yep, I understood he had a ER34(GT-T) and for that car the codes are as I mentioned (it's the same car as I have:-). (44 on his car would be a coms problem with the ABS..)

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
