lovatt Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 i have an intermittent fault with my auto box and traction control, there is 2 faults that always happen seperately but i think must be connected 1st fault, kick down at around 80 or more and it sticks in either 2nd or 3rd, i think its second, redlines and wont change up a gear (yes OD is off) but will change down, if i go up the revs slowly it will change up 2nd fault, turn engine on and the orange TRAC OFF light flashes every second or so, trac control is off and will not work at all, not even if i mess with the slip cont button, when it does this at first the box will not engage reverse (it still does the reverse beeb sound) it stays in neutral, it stays like this until i engage drive and then reverse then it is fine this only happens once in a blue moon and they never happen together but it annoys the hell out me, any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 SLD = Speed Limit Defender - affects the speed signal to avoid the 180kph speed limiter, bad connections can confuse the auto box. LSD = Limited Slip Diff - entirely mechanical, nothing to do with your problem. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 FYI you have an LSD judging by your description of skipping inside tyre under tight turning -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovatt Posted September 16, 2004 Author Share Posted September 16, 2004 yes mate i have got an lsd hmm if it is my SLD my blitz ecu has a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 I meant to say SLD/km-miles converter........ they're usually the same thing. I'd check the converter before the ECU ...... then maybe the speed signal sensor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I have ahd exactly the same problem since i got the car. i.e the one with the flashing lights and wont engage reverse. I have tried everything but to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piran Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I had the same problem with the tyres turned out that the suspension had failed and the alignment was well out - get your alignment checked that'll save your tyres - won't help your other problems though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nic_f Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Guys, have either of you got a Clifford Alarm? I have the same problem with flashin trac light and no reverse. it only happens when the immobiliser kicks in and you disarm it from from the remote with the ignition on. If you arm are disarm the alarm with the ignition off, does it go away?

nic_f Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Well I'm not sure if this applies to you, but, apparently I have a fault with my ignition barrel. There is a bit of play and when it is turned, it breaks contact for a millisecond. under normal circumstances it doesn't matter, but when the immobiliser kick and you reset it via the fob, it causes the ECU to loose power, and cause a fault code, If you look at the codes, you will see ABS and gearbox warnings. Reverse is there sometimes, but it comes in with a bang. This has never been fixed as JIC went bust before they could sort it. I hope this helps.
