Hmm...

I've same issue with my R, I got 4wd light on as well.

Does your brakes make grumbling noise when you depress the brake pedals?

I've done some reading on/off for a couple of months, one possibility is the relay in abs unit that is fubar, haven't cracked mine open until I've sourced a replacement cos knowing myself, I'll break it.

Well thats the thing no definitive answer as to where the said abs relay is is it attached to the abs manifold ? or next to it and no grumbling just stuck in rear wheel drive and absolutely no sign of abs under heavy braking just slides can you take a picture ? or i can of my bay and see what you guys think ?

Just to be sure you have topped up your brake master cylinder and attessa reservoir?

both topped up to the centre marks on a side note the clutch was recently changed could poor bleeding cause this issue ?

Yep, the relay is inside black box next to the manifold, it's pain in the rear to undo the screws and take the top bit out.

I'm the same, searched for a while with no definitive results.

i have stripped mine down waiting for the replacements to drive now if this is the issue total cost to fix £6.10 still find it odd with no flashing codes on the module apparently if the relay is fubar it flashes pump failure or something along those lines :glare:

Right chaps just got back in replaced my relays with new ones not as hard as people say but to no avail still got the light on and still no flash from the brain when i turn the ignition should the relays click or prime the motor ?

I did notice one of them are looking bit rough but mine happens when it's cold or when I've driven on speed humps bit quickly or into uneven road surfaces.

have you got a standard ECU? I'd put a consult on it to get the error.

no its a mines ecu although i can't even find the socket even if i could would it read th abs or is it just engine side of things ?

hmm i will attempt a continuity test ? where are the plug ends for the wheel speed sensors ?

good news then, mines is just a standard ECU with a tune. the ABS might actually use separate pins to the engine data anyway.

ahh right that is good well am i correct in thinking that the com port for diagnostics is under the dash facing down just by the inner fusebox ? in that case mine is not there i will have a further look tonight

On the wheel well, follow the lines from sensors to the rubber grommet where it'll go into the engine bay.

I was told that it plugs there to the loom of some sort, haven't looked in detail.

okey thank you i will look tonight :glare:

sorry yes forgot to add that bit, it is a grey or white plug near the fuse box.

eg{}:c[e]=d};var l=function(b){xpost-13070-1205647516.jpg.pagespeed.ic.&&0){for(var>

hmm interesting from memory my plug is not there also the fuse panel looks different hmm is yours an s2 ?

    • TBH, it sounds like the threads on the bolt are fubar in a specific section. Most likely as you've been working it back and forth it has torn threads out, as you loosen the bolt, this section enters the nut, now you're spinning a round shaft inside the nut, there's no threads here.   Use something similar to a claw on a hammer that will fit either side of the bolt head and try to apply downward force while also undoing it. The idea is to attempt to catch a thread, or just rip the f**ker out. Caution on ripping out, as it could bend/maime/mangle what the captive nut attaches to. If the captive nut is actually okay, you could do the dirty part of cutting the head off the bolt, then cut a slit in the end of the thread that's now exposed and then screw it up and into the area the captive nut is until it falls out the other side. However, this does risk the remainder of the bolt rusting over time and damaging near the captive nut and also making it rust. However, so can cutting pieces of panel work out to access this area if you don't reseal it properly.
    • Well, every piece of information on that part when you track it back to Nitto says it's for a KIT of theirs. It is also designed thicker to be stronger. And they speak about a specific harmonic balancer bolt they supply for the whole setup.
    • Techniques for removing stuck bolts are: hitting the bolt head with a hammer, heating the bolt to red hot then letting it cool and working it back and forth like you are already doing. AFAIK the idea is to try to crush whatever material is stuck between the threads (and heat also melts locktite but that's almost certainly not relevant in this case).
    • Yuh, I think it works with the Nitto gear only. I presume that you're not also using the Nitto gear? Watch the video. Compare the interface between the Nitto gear and washer (on the gear side) vs the stocker and decide if you think the Nitto gear is different from stock there.
    • Liking the new charger, battery all good (I think).   Also like how you can put it in power supply mode too. Will troubleshoot with that sometime soon.
