Guys I got trouble with my 06' Z. the Traction Control Lights LEDs light up and don't go off. My mechanic/tuner cannot find a solution to this error code. he cannot find what is causing it from which sensor or whatever ?


Anyone ever had this error code crop up ? C1132


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

did you change anything recently?

 

about 4 months ago I changed the ecu 350z link ecu fully programmable, nwp 75mm throttle body, injen air intake, motordyne plenum spacer and made a tune. Have been running fine for 4 months without problems. Then one time i was driving with traction control switched off. I was accelerating on 1st gear with a lot of wheelspin because the street tarmac was kinda flat and had no rear grip and then at that point the LED traction control lights went on. For some time I was switching the car off and on and the lights would go off. THen while driving they just turn on again randomly. Now the lights are always turned on. Any ideas what it could be ? maybe something simple as a wheel sensor ?

 

Nissan specific DTC as indicated by the first numeric.

Interpreted as:

C1132 NISSAN - Engine Signal 3 Share

Possible causes
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
- Faulty ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit)
- Control Area Network (CAN) communication line
- Blown ECM fuses

Tech notes The code means that the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) control unit has detected that there is problem with the Engine Control Module (ECM).

When is the code detected? Based on the signal from Engine Control Module (ECM), the Control Area Network (CAN)-Local Area Network (LAN) converter (CLC) judges that the engine control system is malfunctioning.

Possible symptoms - ABS Warning Light ON - Scanner cannot access Engine Control Module (ECM) C1132 Nissan Description ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) and ECM exchange the engine signal with CAN communication line. Major engine components are malfunctioning.

great. many thanks for your post. I forwarded the details to my mechanic maybe with some luck we can find where the problem is coming from.


thx again, much appreciated.

 

Just an observation, but if your mechanic requires being spoon-fed simple code diagnostic solutions, you probably need to find a better mechanic.

 

Yeah I got that feeling too. sadly in Malta we do not have people who are certified on working on 350z. Hopefully he can fix it. If not probably I will have to disable the traction control from the ECU and drive without it. Kinda sucks not to have the safety feature, but Id rather do that instead of having the traction lights on without knowing if its on or not as it might be malfunctioning.
