Taslucas's TB42 Ti

[taslucas]

First off the auto specialist test drove it and said the TC is stuffed, and it was so we replaced that, then he test drove again and thought it didn't feel right so had a closer look and found the tps was missing, then found it was missing because it had a carby off a manual in it so no place fir the tps. At that stage the error code was showing "problem with the tps circuit". Got another carby, fitted it with a new tps and the code went away but problem still there. Pulled box out to thoroughly check the internals, box was in awesome condition, auto specialist said it looked like it had dine less than 5000ks since a reco. Decided to fit a nomad valvebody while it was out. Put all back together, still had the problem but showing no error code. Tested temp sensor and found it was faulty. Put a second hand one in and the problem was gone completely (also no codes showing). 6 weeks later the problem came back and now showing that error code........ So I thought well maybe the second hand temp sensor had failed so I got a brand new Nissan genuine one fitted and still got problem.......

Okay, makes more sense now. I didn't realise there was no error code earlier on.

Your box sounds as frustrating, or maybe even more frustrating, than what ours was. From the first time I pulled our box out (I did it twice, and the shop did it once as well), till it was finally fixed took more than 10 months.

I still think you need to get someone who's handy with a multimeter, and get them to trouble shoot the error code with the instructions in Nissan's workshop manual.

I will go to all the auto electricians around here and have a good chat to see if any of them are willing to have a go....

If that doesn't work, electricians, or electronics repairers, or maybe even someone who builds PCs, could do the job too.

I've just been looking at which pages of the manual you're going to need, and it looks ugly already.

I rebuilt my whole gearbox using that manual, you will be right Lucas easy as mate *LMAO*

Lol thanks mate!


And thanks for the support Ripper, it's appreciated. I'll get to the bottom of it one day!

Can you bypass the factory switch and put your own in for the tc lockup and see if this eliminates your gremlin?

I was looking at this members ride thread saying to myself.... I really should copy this all over to your other thread that you started for your gearbox troubles, and try and keep it in one place. But after stuffin Ripper's threads up, I'm not touchin it

No worries. I just know how frustrating they can be.

This is what I've been doing since I wrecked the TC part of our TCU.
I'll get another TCU one day, but it's not so urgent now that I can manually lock the TC.

Sounds like you've developed a complex Todd.
Will you ever be game to enter the control panel again


Just kidding

Have a go if you want. But I can always retype the basics in another thread. I've typed it that many times that it just comes out in one big speel!

Hey Rusty, not sure if you saw it, but I did eventually reply to the message you left me.
It'd been there a long time by the time I saw it. If it doesn't send something to my email address, there's a good chance I'll miss it.

Have a go if you want.

Can you make a copy before you try editing it Todd?
