All cool, they just refunded the $. And my mechanic had a second hand one so we chucked that in and the problem was fixed......for a month or so then came back!?

Hello from Under Down Under!
I haven't been onsite for a while, was browsing last night and came across your other thread about this, then Todd redirected me here.
Our Trol was off the road for months with a mystery electrical problem in the auto. It's been great for two weeks now, it better not go bad again
Today is a rather busy one for me, but I learnt a fair bit with our trans, and may be able to help with yours. If you don't hear from me within the next few days, reply here to remind me that I meant to read this whole thread, and see if I can come up with anything new.

Hello from Under Down Under!
Okay, well I got a lot more net time than I expected today, so I've written my auto story and read yours.
So your power light stays on after you change gears and press the power button on and off in the right sequence?Originally Posted by taslucas
If so, you need to get a copy of page 41 and 42 of the AT section of Nissan's GQ workshop manual, it clearly explains how to test each of these components. No guesswork, just checking voltages at the TCU with a multimeter. It's a process of elimination.
I found this very tedious with our auto, but it was what led to fixing it.
So in less than a week this should arrive?

Yep, the new sensor should be here any day. I'll get that fitted and go from there.
I've had all the work done by an auto specialist.
First we fitted a reco TC.
No fix.
Then pulled the box completely apart to find it in really good condition. The guy said it looked like it had done less than 5000ks after a reco. He thoroughly checked every little part/wire/oil gallery.
While it was apart we fitted an aftermarket heavy duty valvebody.
(it was ment to come with a new temp sensor)
Fitted all back together.
Still no fix!
Found that the temp sensor hadn't been replaced. Replaced temp sensor with a second hand one.
Problem fixed!!!!...........for 6 weeks then came back.
I'm hoping that the second hand temp sensor failed (even tho it would be a coincidence) and that the new one (arriving soon) will fix the problem.
If not, then I'll check the TCU resistance.

Hello from Under Down Under!
That does sound like the most likely suspect, except that the error code doesn't match
If it gets to this stage, I can probably help with explaining it more if necessary. For your code the tests start at the TCU with it still connected, for mine they started in the engine bay.

Cheers mate, I'll see how I go when this new sensor arrives. Fingers crossed
