Hi all,

Just picked up the car after having the transfer box swapped over. No more slipping of the chain - can plant your foot and away she goes however i have a few issues now.

1 - dash display has 'Select Neutral' permanently displayed.
2 - if I try and transfer over to low range, it does the usual beepy thing, cogs light up on the dash but it never seems to get there/finish.
3 - indicator sound in the cabin no longer works!

No faults on nanocom so not sure what's going on.

Any suggestions?

Edit: with ignition off, the indicators sound in the cabin using the hazzards. Ignition on and you get no sound.
 
Any idea how that's done?

When having a flick through the settings I couldn't see anything.

I did reset the adaptive values but didn't expect that to have any effect.
 
When I changed mine the old t/box was in high. When refitting make sure the triangular shaft is turned so the high ratio is fully engaged and fit the motor and tighten the three bolts. All should work as before. may be worth taking the motor off, select high so the motor turns then check the box is in high, refit the motor. I believe it can be done with testbook . My method is a bit more logical. Good luck
 
Hmm, May have to take it back for them to do then.

It was driving around fine when I picked it up. Just no indicator noises or trip computer the latter due to the 'Select Neutral' message I presume.
 
Surely whomsoever fitted it should have made sure it was working before giving you the car back. Bit like fitting a new engine and not starting it. :D
 
Well, he drove it out and discovered none of the clanging that I had before - I guess that was the extent of testing.

Clanging gone but if it doesn't work someone should have noticed that. Maybe it's a duffer as far as ratio change goes. Certainly needs looking at. Won't be funny if it's jammed and burns your ECU out.
 
Alright.

Just jumped out now to see what's what.

If I move the selector to neutral, the message goes off. If I flick the selector over to low range, L appears on the dash, N is also showing. The Low side on the selector illuminates but is flashing and doesn't stop. There is no beeping and the cogs no longer appear.

I wonder if it could be a fuse at all?
 
Hm, selector flashes the high side when in high, too. Couldn't see it before because of the sunlight.

Is this a manual?

No, it's automatic.

OK. If the T/box has been stood for some time maybe the bank of switches in the transfer motor are fouled with crap. They tell the ECU where the motor is. Look at RAVE for an explanation of how they work can't be arsed typing it all out. Try putting 10 amp fuse in and out of position 11 under seat and cycling transfer box to neutral and back a few times. See what you get.
 
Have thrown nanocom back on.

Under Inputs/general for the gearbox, the H/L range switch keeps flicking between open and closed without me touching anything.

If I move the selector over to Low, nanocom reports the H/L being open.

Dicky switch connection then maybe. Maybe they gave it a tug when doing the transfer box.
 
Okay. Another update. Checked the engine fault codes this time and I got this after clearing.

P1708 - Transfer box ecu has given a mil request.
Occured 1 times
Signal Invalid
Fault is currently present.
Fault is determined as persistent.
Fault does not cause the mil lamp activation.
