DCCD light flashing error ver4 sti type r

[Guest SPANKU]

something is up with my DCCD gearbox, the bottom green light keeps flashing like its in a Limp mode, anyone know anything about this?

seems like my whole car is on a limp mode even running at 8psi atm

[Guest boostcut]

id be checking wheel speed sensors.

[Guest keltik]

If its V2-4 (the only ones i know anything about), The only thing that can trip a DCCD error is having the DCCD coil unplugged or broken or the thumbwheel unplugged or broken

[Guest SPANKU]

yes my car is a ver4 sti type r, wheres the DCCD coil?

[kamineko]

ouch. thats IN the transfer case dude

check all the wiring from the firewall to the box first

i think i've read somewhere there is an error sequence for the dccd but not sure

[Guest SPANKU]

yeah its mostly the plugs? because that other night it was ok then it flash again and then went ok, then its now flashing all the time.

time for a 6speed gearbox?

[kamineko]

haha nope time to FIX the plugs

caspros might be interested in your five speed if you're seriously considering a six San

[Guest SPANKU]

hmmm been reading some forums, might be a fuse?

yeah im selling the whole kit, including the R180 diff, hubs, looms, and speedo cluster ( i got a ver 2 and a 4 ones )

yeah or an iffy relay

[Guest SPANKU]

ok i just been reading on another forum its got something to do with my sttering colums, as its not stright! i will try to strighten it later on. all this because my steering wheel isnt stright!

something got to do with steering angle sensor

this will only apply to bugeye+ models with auto-DCCD where the abs works together with the DCCD with G sensors etc.

your system is a LOT simpler - Dial position = diff setting.

sure thats not the fuel relay?

[kamineko]

90% sure its going to be the connection between the dccd brain and the diff. it looks for the resistance of the dccd coil at turn on

so it will either be a loose connection, worn wire, or a damaged coil (seems unlikely)

check the connections by the clutch fork, and the connections on the gearbox by the centre diff. the one going into the square top plate is for the DCCD coil

your diff will stay in open or 'free' mode while there is an error so its safe to drive around. you just wont be able to wind it up.

[Guest keltik]

Yeah no auto mode in your DCCD so its dead simple. Theres only about 3 components that could break down. Thumb wheel, Coil, Relay....or even the DCCD controller unit.

I dont know where any of those parts are in the stock locations. Im pretty sure theres a fuse on the high current power wire to the DCCD controller - if that fuse blows, maybe youd get a code? Im not sure.

[GregNZ101]

i have a thumb wheel some where, its from a v2

[Guest SPANKU]

just been reading another forum... again our dccd is fully manual unlike the ver8 sti ones.

so chances are its the coil that died on it? will see about it later on.

but i would so love to drive this guy in a ver2 sti-ra dccd wrx

wouldnt know how to get a code for it. waiting for itchiban to get back to us if he knows anything about it

[Guest keltik]

Well theres only 3 things to check. Grab a wiring diagram and check to make sure all of the grounds are correct, the thumb wheel is still hooked up and you get a closed circuit across the DCCD coil wires. If all of that passes, the problem must lie with the DCCD relay

[GC8E2DD]

Relay is on on the passenger side under the glove box against the door jam.

yeah i can hear it clicking. i will wait til i get my spare loom back from Funky, the relay and everything is still there

[Guest SPANKU]

i just realised the flashing is gone.... wonder what it was?
