S-Mode Failure Warning Light
I have a 09 370Z with 6 speed manual. 3 times now I have hade the gear indicator go blank and the car show that s-mode is no longer working. I turn off car and restart and gear indicator and s-mode starts working again. I have performed the nutral learn proceedure but still randomally have this issue. Has anyone else experienced this and if so how was it fixed?
Thanks |
Did you try to disconnect your battery and have the system reset itself?

Hey there Tracer 09, I have had that issue a few times as well. 2011 Z, 30,000km (20,000 miles) and had that happen maybe 3 or 4 times? It just slips out of S mode for no reason. Usually scares the sh*t out of me because it happens when I'm downshifting, expecting rev-match but instead get rev-jerk.
No diagnosis. Hasn't happened for about a year. |
^^ Might not "happen" when I downshift, I just "notice" it when I'm downshifting.

I'm not very familiar with S-Mode but the first thing that comes to mind is the shifter position sensor - bad sensor, needs adjustment, wiring problem, &c. If nobody can pinpoint the problem, I suggest using the diagnostics in the FSM.
Edit: Second thing that pops into my head is clutch switch. |
To add onto this, I had a remote start installed last week and now my S mode never turns on. I tried the battery reset, tried pushing the button itself multiple times, it just altogether does not come on anymore not matter what I do. Took it to the shop that put my remote start in and they are pulling the ol' "that does not have anything to do with the remote start" bull ****, when they had to do a bypass for the clutch, push to start, and remote start wiring itself.... Any ideas on what I should do?

Second they closed the clutch switch so that the system always sees that the clutch is pressed and start the engine for the remote. BECAUSE of this your S mode will NEVER turn on while ur clutch is pressed.(i believe thats what they did) PS S mode button connection coming lose, check it. |
Why on earth does anyone want a remote start? Just a waste of gas....cars haven't needed to be warmed up before driving for years.

That dude's system was installed improper, that's why things aren't working right. |
Thanks for all the feedback, hoping to get it all working normal next week.... Yes, I live in central CA so it gets very hot in the summer that is the only reason why I had it installed.

Hey guys, it seems like I'm having the same problem and wondered if anyone had any opinions. I just recently got my clutch, flywheel, and cmak kit Installed. For some reason my S-mode warning light comes on when I try and turn s-mode on. Any ideas? Thanks!
