oil pressue sensor?

[TonyN]

Have you pressed the O/D button? You only get gearbox codes with it pressed, and ignition on.

Hi Tony

just to clarify

Yup, and obviously TE1 and E1 bridged in diag box, sometimes you struggle to get a connection, but if you're getting engine codes it must be working.

yup diag port jumpered ok

O/D button pushed in and ign on i get 1 engine check light and no O/D codes
O/D button out just solid O/D light

did get 2 engine check light before clearing codes suspect this was an old code though

any ideas mate cheers

[TonyN]

Thats odd, with the button in you should at least get the one continuous 'no fault' flash same as the engine one.

I assume your O/D button is working, and not unplugged under gaiters?

thats what i thought but definatley nothing whidh is why i was swapping out TPS as i have read this can throw up weird errors

same thoughts on earth cables as had a similar problem on an old tuck bur wouldn't go into top gear after Stevo in stockport had it for a service turns out to be the earth strap on back of head

anyone know of a good place to add new earth on both block and box

cheers Jon

[BAV1]

any one have any ideas of what to try next after new TPS (hopefully tomoz)

cheers guys really do appreciate all your help

[BAV1]

has anyone any more ideas

can anyone show me a pic of where I can earth the box and block figures its a quick job and cant hurt

deliberately didn't boot it up that hill this morning and gears stayed broken??

what would symptoms of a blocked oil filter be

cheers guys

Do you mean the engine oil filter? If that's the case go to Toyota and buy a genuine one they aren't much more expensive. as for earthing points as long as the earth cable has good connections, is out of the way of anything hot it should be ok to put wherever you decide (within reason)

cheers mate yeah I meant engine oil filter its due a oil and filter change was going to get done at the end of the month but though a cheap filter may help diags for now

do you think that battery earth straps would be an over kill

cheers

I would have thought they would be OK. As for a cheap filter don't bother get a decent one, Roughtrax filters are OK as i use these as do quite a few others on here.

im getting filter and oil changed next week may do myself if i can find the oil cheap enough (not decided what to put in yet) as would like to see what comes out and what goes in

was just thinking cheap filter to see if it made any difference

also looking at doing ATF fluid using the bucket method IF i can sus which pipe is which lol


cheers

From what i remember the drivers side is the feed from the box and the left is the return. I don't think you will get much cheaper than Roughtrax plus i would use the semi synthetic but that is my own preference Jon, a lot just use mineral oil but each to there own, it's upto you which you think is better suited to your own needs as it were.

High oil pressure usually.

If the two straps at the front of the engine are ok you probably won't improve matters, it'll be extremely hard to insulate the gearbox from the engine!

If you want to try it just use one of the transfer case to gearbox bolts, then connect it to one of the gearbox crossmember bolts.

What exactly is the issue? Been looking though a million posts and its not clear.

A cheap filter can be a false economy. I remember an incident on here not too long ago with someone having a cheap filter almost causing serious damage to their engine.

I believe it might be the case that cheap filters don't have the valve in them that stops the oil draining straight back into the engine when you switch it off meaning that when you re-start it takes longer for the oil to make it's way around the engine (starting is when most engine wear takes place).

With a gas guzzler like a Surf it's hardly worth trying to save 5 or 10 quid on a cheap filter given that in terms of diesel it's probably only 20 miles worth!
