trying to get the check engine light off in my r32. first off, the car runs fine, did a neo swap on my r32 and obviously didnt install the traction control system. I had originally bought a stagea ecu to avoid the code(stagea=no traction control) but i now have a mines r34 GTT ecu and the code is back. Basically i need to know how to trick the ecu in thinking the traction control is working.

its code 46:Throttle motor Sensor signal circuit.

theres four wires to the ecu that didnt get hooked up during the swap.

Pin 51: Throttle motor Sensor Signal

Pin53: Motor throttle switch

Pin 37: throttle opening Signal

Pin 79: ECM-TCM, TCS/ABS Integrated Control Signal(multiplex communication)

can i connect two of these four wires? add a resistor somewhere? ground a wire? a big concern is frying my mines ecu so i dont want to just ground a wire and see what happens.. any ideas??

mate, im looking for exactly the same info for my neo into 260z swap, have also removed the TCS/ABS during the conversion and the CEL (code 44 and 46) which the ECU throws from not having the circuits connected keeps putting the engine into limp mode which is a HUGE pita..

Unfortunately if we had the control boxes etc wired up this would be an easy fix as you would just just need wire the "TCS on/off" switch to ground which would put it permanently off and not throw a CEL..but from the pic it looks like we are both in the same boat...

To share the path ill be going down, iv gone through the circuits for the r34 TCS/ABS system and also the expected voltages seen from the ECU, going off your pic, these are all ECU expected values while the car is running:
79 - Multiples Comms is a varying signal but averages 2v.
53 - Motor Throttle Switch signal remains at 4.7v (while the TCS system is off)
51 - Throttle Motor Sensor 3.4v (while the TCS system is off)
37 - Throttle opening sensor (i think this might be an output from the ECU to the TCU computer), this is the same values as your pedal TPS on pin 23.

I guess the best bet will be finding resistors which drop a 12v supply to roughly these values to trick the ECU..

From what i understand the only two which will cause issues (ie what the ECU checks for) are the multiplex signal and the Throttle Motor Sensor (ie pin 79 and 51) i would assume the others dont make any difference and can be cut back..

let me know if you find anything out and we can work this out together haha

Hi dudes I have the same engine (RB25det neo), from a rear wheel series 2 stagea which I have dropped into my gq patrol,

Same deal as you, it has traction controls and abs as standard and I'm not using either of them, just the ecu!

I'm about 90 percent done with the conversion and have the motor running nice but the ecu is throwing fault code 44 which is related to pin79 being not connected like yours,

Engine is not throwing code 46 anymore, to achieve this I have done the "secret squirrel tweak" to pin 51 which involves taking a power sorce of around 5.15 volts from pin 48 (throttle position sensor power) and running it through a series of diodes to drop it to the desired voltage, then connect it directly into pin 51. I had to run 5 diodes inline to reach the voltage it needed to see (approx 3.4v).

So I'm basically going to do the same with the multiplex communication line (pin 79, code 44) to erase that code aswell as I know this actually works. I'll probably take the 3.4 volts from pin 51 and diode it down to 2.0v (what it wants to see)

Hope this helps ^.^

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
