ok kids

just put M13A VVt engine / gearbox into a 98 jimny.

problem I have is that my jimny has manual t-case and new wiring and gear is auto t-case.

some how I am missing my 4wd Controller module off the old system (G13BB) so Im looking for a photo of one so I can hunt around my bits and see what I can find.

it sits up under the dash with the body module. from what I remember it has 4WD controller assy on it

Dont think the older system had a 4wd module mate...

But your more then welcome to come poke your head under my dash at any stage

what controls the solenoid for the auto locking hubs?

[BertZook]

u got manual transfer case, just get manual locking hubs and forget about the auto buttons and bits

the 4wd switch from memory....

[AZA510]

ok so where is the switch? on the transfer case.

[steak_knife]

yep, i think it's the only one....

[AZA510]

ok.. im very confused now why its not working.. ARGH

[89_tintop]

Wana come and compare the 2??

I would say you have pulled all the wiring out of the engine bay and put in a later model loom?? When emgine conversion was done.. Including all solenoids and fuse boxes and relay boxes?? Then put in the vvt one loom??

The switch on the transfer switches a vacuum solenoid which in turn puts vacuum to the hubs to make them engage.

2 options as I see it..

Rewire it all in with a vac solenoid etc... Not to difficult to do..

Or

Go to manual hubs

Body mods??

yeah Im in the middle of cutting the flares off and making it look more japanese. getting rid of the plastics.. making it clean with just a 65mm rubber edging.

makes it look a lot higher off the ground and gives more clearance in the arch.

Im about to try some 30" wranglers on it to see how it goes. (standard shocks)

x2 cus i was think about going down that path, getting ick of those shitty plastic bits always falling off

[AZA510]

i have taken photos. I might put something up on it..

oh I fixed the problem with the 4WD.. I found that the vacuum hose was split under the guard.. now it works..

but the 4wd lights are flashing and warning lights going off everywhere.. need to figure out how to stop them.

Woukdnt mind catching up and having a gander at the conversion mate.

I'll bet you there's alot of connection's that want sig's that don't have it, also you may need to go through & clear/reset code's.....

[AZA510]

how do you do a master reset

SDT, Suzuki Diagnostic Tool. or a good scan tool, most won't do much other than read code's....

[AZA510]

so I cant do it myself. dam.

[gman]

isn't the only input signal to the 4wd module that makes the 4wd light flash from the vacuum sensor near the solinoids? I'm sure it is

all jimny's have a 4wd module in the early ones it will be above the fuse box screwed to the panel the speaker is mounted to its a black box wish i had a photo for you.

you should be able to fix the flashing 4wd light by making sure there is no vacuum loss in the hub locking system. the module will apply vacuum to the locking or unlocking circuit (depending what your doing) for 10 or 15 seconds) than vents the system. the sensor measures the locking circuit only(from memory). a genuine suzuki manual explains this very well also thinking out of the box will help you understand this system.

cheers gman Ill look for more leaks and read my manual.

I thought maybe it had something to do with the 4WD being engaged on the tcase but the buttons not pressed on the centre consule.
