2007 Patrol ZD30 Common Rail Transmission Light

[BillPatrol]

Hello I am new to this forum and don't really know were to ask questions.
I have a 2007 GU IV Patrol ZD30 Common Rail Auto with the A/T Temp light on and it will not run. I took the battery lead off last night and replaced it this morning and the engine started up first kick, then ran for approx 30 sec before the A/T Temp light came on again and then it stopped. The engine will not start while this is on ??? Now I know it is not hot so why does the Temp light come on and shut it down ????????

I would reallyappreciate any help ?

This will be a dumb question but would those autos have a oil sensor ? If so maybe it's low on oil ?
Just throwing it out there.

No that's not a dumb question, problem is I can only check the oil while it is running if that is correct ???
I was thinking along the lines as a faulty oil sensor but I dread to think were that will be hidden.

It really gets under my skin the computer has stopped the engine dead from running and I see a big risk in taking this outback. Oil and filters are good changed last month, there is oil in the trany and there is no oil leaks. I can take the battery leads off for a while and reset the computer then it will start and run fine for 30 sec or so before it shuts off again. I can't image the frustration this would cause if I was out in the bush. It looks as though it will be a tilt tray job from here but I am hoping somebody knows something about this symptom ??? Anybody ??? OR is there anybody that knows how to read the codes from these common rail engines, I have tried 1 & 8 and yes it was done correctly but that doesn't seem to work on these models.

might need to invest on a scan gauge mate saved me a few times

I would but don't know for sure what works with the ZD30DDTi Common Rail, apparently they are different ? Just another thing to sh*.*t me right off because I know Nissan will hit me big just to do a scan and then the tow on top of that just to find out what maybe the problem. The only dealer for Nissan here is Belbowrie Motors and they will wound the biggest of bulls. So if there is a way to bridge the ecu differently that works or if somebody knows which scanner will work that would be fantastic information.

Looks like I found the fault... Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee !

I wound't think the A/T temp light coming on would stop the engine from running, put the auto into fail safe mode yes..... but not shut the engine down.

When the "engine will not start while this is on" is it cranking over? does it seem like it is cranking over slowly? do you have to jump start the vehicle?

When you turn the ignition on (engine not running) what other warning lights are on in the dash? CEL (check engine light), battery light?
