SupraTTBPU Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Hello supra community, I have the following problem for some days: My O / D light starts flashing from nothing, and my car drives as if I got stuck in 4th gear (when starting it is as if I am in 4th gear, but also when accelerating out) , This morning I have removed the panel to take some pictures, then again made a test drive and car drove without problems, but on the way home, again the same game, the O / D flashes Also the car drives normally, if the plug does not hang in the odometer, and suddenly the flashing starts again. So it does not matter if the odometer plug is off or off I also checked my fluid, its ok ! i also dont have the warning triangle,and engine shaped light top right. just the O/D Flashing Enclosed a picture of how it is currently wired. (do somebody know, what "white" wire is this ?) PS: Yesterday I could not go faster than 120mph (it slowed down me at 120mph and 4500 rpm), when the O / D light has flashed. In my test drive today, before the O / D has flashed, I have easily made 180mph. I do not know any more, maybe somebody have an idea. Thanks in advance and regards from Germany Edited September 2, 2018 by SupraTTBPU (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) What is the car? NA, TT, Manual, Auto/Tiptronic, vvti, non-vvti, converted? Were you working on the car before this happened? Have you recently fitted anything electronic? E2A Faulty delimiter?

drift_bear Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Check for error codes, iirc code 42 throws up this issues Also could be speed converter/delimiter playing up going by the picture... ideally need more details about the car and etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTTBPU Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hello, my car is a single turbo AT (1993) No I did not work on the car before, I just removed the dash panels to get them painted. Nothing electronics were changed ... @drift bear What you mean with "playing up" Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTTBPU Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Yesterday evening, I reseted my ECU, and today morning I drove to work and again I had no problems. Afer work I drove the "autobahn" back home, and the last 5 miles to my home, OD off again starts flashing Today evening I tried to do the "diagnostic" i put a "wire" in Te1 and E1 but it showed me no error codes. I really dont have any ideas anymore, because I never had this problem before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTTBPU Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 He means the delimiter is causing the problem as it does not let you pass 120mph So you think the delimter is the Problem ? Even if I can pass 120mph, sometimes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auzzam Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Is your odometer working when the error code is on? Does the steering also go light? If the odo stops working and the car won't go past 120mph when you're experiencing the problems it could be one of the solders on the odometer have worn out. There is an easy fix on here, which fixed it for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the fix you mean the "dry solder fix" or which fix was this... ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
