Since I did the blue dash, I noticed a few bulbs were missing out of the dash, one of which was the O/D lamp. Since replacing this, I get a flashing O/D off when I am driving the car. Any ideas?
I've had a quick look at the gearbox testing page, but trying to read a multimeter display when doing 60k/hr+ isn't really that easy, anything else I could try?
I have had the battery disconnected a few times since this began for various reasons, so there is obviously no stored codes left, something current maybe?
Have also been getting rear brake light warnings as I have no centre lamp assembly at the moment, related at all?
Weird thing is that the gearbox appears to function normally and without any issues. Although last time I had the car up on a hoist, I did notice a plug on the end of a wire hanging next to the box (passenger side) we had a look but couldn't find anything for it to plug into. Should we look harder, or is it just there for some other reason?
Cheers guys. |

Is it throwing a code in Diag mode? |

Perhaps theres a short-circuit in the soldering?  |

The bulbs he's replaced aren't soldered.....
Can you remember what the plug looked like?? Or possibly grab a photo?? |

Hmmm if thats not the case, Maybe some components in the circuit have been damaged due to a small static shock while handling them? Just an idea... |

Ok, diagnosis worked today, I get a flashing of 6 OD off lights, followed by 7. If my interpretation of this is right that means that I have an issue with the 'O/D direct clutch speed sensor', sound about right?
Next question is wtf is that and wtf do I do about it?
I also got a EFI NG (does this mean 'not good'?) and a number 25, O2 sensor? |

It's a sensor that's on the passenger side of the box up high (and quite possibly related to the plug that's floating loose)
Can take a photo tomorrow if it helps? |

That is where the loose wire is so that would be f'en sweet mate!!! Much obliged. Also, when I was romaging through the car after purchase, I found a receipt that said the gearbox had been replaced about 5 months prior to me buyin it, with one from a '70 series supra. Ok, so they had the same engine, but are the gearboxes exactly the same, or does the soarer have anyhting soarer specific on it that I should know about? |

Ok, just got back from doing my brake lines, on a hoist
While there I thought I'd fix this issue, it appears that I do not have that connection, or any provision for it on my gearbox, guess there is a differance between the 1J ma70 and jzz30 then  |
