Up date time The scan came up with something like a p0345 fault. Left hand cam sensor. I still have no idea what the slip light means or what connection there is between a cam sensor and the traction control

what scantool and did they scope the sensor with a digital oscilloscope for fault?

Again, I can't tell you what the name of the scan tool was but yes the sensor was tested with an oscilloscope in situ.

so sensor replaced and now fine? other faults can get set because they are on a same network or when the engine plays up so does the gears in a transmission as they are driven bye the engine . setting codes. its called logical backtracking of plausebility. Then testing and then making a call on a repair solution.

Yep, new sensor and faults gone, car back to as was. But, what is the Slip thingy?

It's saying because there is a engine fault we are disabling these other systems because we need that sensor information

or in my instance my astra had 3 transmission codes one was transmission torque converter speed inplausible another svs via can . and something else . the problem was a missfire on cilinder 2 and sometimes on cilinder 4 . this caused the engine speed rotation to be mon constant non linear during the missfire events and the speed sensor on the torque converter detected it and started to set transmission codes. Absolute 0 things wrong with the transmission. the codes are just a byproduct of a other cause.

Thanks BFM, unfortunately with out the full knowledge of how these things work it still leaves me in awe. You don't know what the slip light is for do you, never seen it come on even when TC is being used (or not)

"the codes are just a byproduct of a other cause" And there in lies a problem with so much computing being done in cars and so many computers "talking" to each other

it normally comes on during loss of traction but could be on if tc light or abs light is on. Not uncommon. If you have any queries pop into my work and discuss or scan. Happy to help

Cheers, thanks BFM, just never saw that light comiong on when driving, have tested out the TC and tested it with out, still not seen it. Keep you in mind although fingers Xed your skills will not be needed (alas, its a car with computers so probably will)

That stay on. Engine check Slip TCon Any clues, while it is at the Drs, as to what they commonly indicate

Thanks, may have figured that part out though

Strange why the resident Nissan buff never seems to comment on any technical inquiries. Guess he's watching "stangs" lining up against Renault Twizzys on you tube. Anyway BFD this link may give you a clue or 3.
Thanks poppy, seems to cover anything from dirty sensor contact to "you need a new engine" Ahh well, should just be patient and await the Drs report

with that many fault lights I'd be thinking dudd battery first.

Battery OK and not very old, apparently removing and reconnecting did not clear lights Got it back from local garage, which unfortunately is not a Nissan agent and their computer would not talk to the car computer so at this stage none the wiser as to why

You're joking! Even the little bosh unit at supercheep will 'talk' to your stagea computer. There are some things it can't do but would give you a good idea of what is wrong.

Can only go by what the mechanic told his boss. Seemed strange to me but I would also like to know if grand garages, which are a franchise after all, are not allowed to have opposition friendly gear

I had some weird issues with a V35 Skyline - turns out the body control module (down under the battery tray) had got a bit damp.
There are little drains down there that tend to get blocked up so it'd be worth a look.

Hmmm, interesting, will have a look in daylight tomorrow, battery just in front of windscreen left hand side, the same as Skyline?

Yep they're basically the same car.
