Have a NC with all NF looms,ecu etc etc,

the other day i noticed i had no Shift indicator on the cluster, also thermo fans running non stop, no temp guage, no economy light and gearbox shifts really hard, checked all looms with multi metre and everything seems ok to the ECU, i unplugged the TCM and it let me start the car still, wondering if the TCM has failed or is there a fuse for it or anything that i can look into with out paying lots of coin for another TCM

not sure it would be the tcm, based on the temperature gauge not working, the temp gauge is controlled by the engine ecu, not the tcm.
You could have a fault with either the 5v reference voltage which is affecting all the sensors, or the data output link from the ecu.
Have you tried running the diagnostic codes from the engine ECU?

how do i check the 5v reference, also i cant work out how to do a diag.

the 5v sounds right tho as even the oil pressure is not working correctly it says its going all the way to 7 witch it never did before

easiest way to check 5v ref is to backprobe the orange wires on the throttle position sensor/s and ensure there is 5v present.
In regards to the oil pressure gauge reading incorrectly this is a seperate circuit from the ECU as well, are you sure you dont have a bad earth somewhere?

thinking bad earth could be something. i have 5v at the tps and at the ecu pin 90 so that seem ok.

will check all the earth points later
