My 4wd and abs lights have recently come on in my 90 r32 gts4. They are on from the moment you turn on the ignition.
It happened maybe 2 weeks ago, followed shortly by the car dying, not starting again, and leaving me stranded.
I got the car home however, and charged the battery as it was very low, solving the engine dying problem.
Now have done about 2 weeks of research, and have started to fault find.
Atessa fluid res was low in the boot, just under min, and the pas in the front has also been topped up.
Have checked all relay's I can find in the car and fuses, but to no avail.
Have the ecu's for both the 4wd and what i believe to be the abs too. with neither of which registering any fault codes.
When the problem initially arose however I charged the battery overnight, and removed the ecu's in the boot and had them indoors for a few hours. when I re-installed it, all lights were out, and everything seemed to function well again! untill the following (wet) day when the lights were on again
I do seem to have alot of water make its way into my boot, and although the ecu's were relatively dry, could this cause a problem? as after I dried/warmed them in the house it went away?
Would a low oil level in the transfer box cause these lights to come on?
Secondly when I drive it with the abs and 4wd lights the steering seems to go from light to heavy on corners which kind of makes the car wobble as you corner..
Previous owner did supply it to me with a knackered c.v boot, which had split and spilled its internals all over the hub knuckle on the drivers side. Im guessing that kind of grease combined with road dirt would hinder the abs sensor's ability to read, putting the abs light, 4wd light and possibly explain the erratic steering?
Sorry I know its a long post, but its really getting me stumped... Guess the battery could be to blame too, but seems unlikely due to it still holding 12+V charge.
