Getting Codes and S-Mode Warning light

ethan_goode · 10-20-2020, 02:58 PM

I have a 2011 370z Nismo and lately my key light has been coming on, so i pulled the steering lock fuse and replaced my key battery but it's still on. I also have S-Mode but it has been giving me a warning light when i try to turn it on. So I ran a diagnostics test and got a few codes (P2101,P0223,P2133,P1233). Which relate to the throttle body and some sensors on the gas pedal. Any help?

I'd unplug the TB and pedal connectors, give them a good cleaning, and plug them back in. Might need to do the TB relearn procedure when you're done.

If you plan on doing your own troubleshooting/repairs, the FSM is a valuable resource. Link in my sig.

I try to get CRC contact cleaner when I can. But I've never run into a brand that didn't get the job done.

Hey So I think I might have narrowed my problem down to the two plastic push pin sensor on the clutch pedal. There is one that is pushed down when the clutch is all the way up and engaged and one that is pushed when the clutch is all the way down. And there is a little white plastic stopper that pushes the pin in for each. The stopper for the button that is pushed in when the clutch is out and engaged is about a centimeter to high so the button isn't all the way pushed in. Could anyone check on their z and see if that stopper is centered on the pin?https://www.dropbox.com/s/yrv35sbe60..._3360.mov?dl=0

On my 2010 40th - Same thing with the Key light - I just pulled the fuse - however, the key light stays on - been like that for over a year - Just ignore the light.

Been having the same problem intelligent yellow key light pops on a few mins after start up when i drive off the smode warning pops up

It also happens if i just sit in the drive way with the yellow key light on playing with the clutch going 1-6 and reverse im guessing a switch went bad but its use to work with a negative terminal taken off and put back on now its consistent like a short that got bad

Note my fob hasnt been working for awhile i just use the key slot on the left side never had an issue till lately
