• Podcast: Is a Skyline Worth Buying in 2025?

DocNrock At the track today, going around a bumpy but fast left-handed sweeper. Heard a brief noise in the rear of the car, then the engine power cut, the car went into automatic mode, the traction control light flashed a couple of times, then the transaxle light began flashing. A message came up on the dash "T/M System Malfunction, Visit Dealer." I had all gears available, but only in automatic mode. The car would not go into manual mode. I pulled the car into the garage and plugged in the Cobb AP. Codes P0607 Trans and C1109 ABS came up. I cleared them and fortunately they did not come back. It was the last session of the day so I just came home. The car drove fine in manual mode on the way home. But I am supposed to run tomorrow, as well. P0607: ECM power supply C1109: ABS power and ground Has anyone else experienced anything similar? If so, did it stay gone after clearing the codes or did it return?

Shawn #3 · Feb 24, 2013 Dr. Shawn, thanks for the reply. I actually did "join" the rest of the 2009 owners back in 2011 when my trans was replaced. Yesterday was my first track day since then. I searched for these codes and didn't find any other posts sans just the listings of all possible codes. I'm going back today and will let you know if it stays gone...or not. Show more replies 0 Reply #5 · Feb 25, 2013 Hope the codes didn't come back today and all is well. Hoping to not join the 2009 trans club, would you guys recommend a simple upgrade or wait until there is a problem? I have an extended warranty but its probably voided with the cobb tune to both ecu and tcm. Thanks. Don't mean to go off topic. #6 · Feb 25, 2013

Not necessarily. If you have a 2009, and the boost isn't too high, and you can unmarry the Cobb before you get to the dealer, you MIGHT get warranty, especially if you show stock fluids inside the tranny, and a good service history. The trick is how you show up at the dealer, and what you have going on in the car at the time. Shawn 0 Reply #7 · Feb 25, 2013 Car has a midpipe currently, but looking to add intake, dp, injectors, exhaust. Possible transcooler as well. Or should i stay relatively stock til itbusts? #8 · Feb 25, 2013 UPDATE: Here is one of those "I feel really stupid" moments. One other problem I had the first day that I hadn't connected in my mind was that my Traqmate video didn't record anything. The first session on Sunday I had a really strange issue on track. While I never got the trans issue back, the car would not stay in traction control R mode. Once I got any slide going, at all, the T/C would revert back to standard mode and was extremely obtrusive. After checking codes again I got the C1109 code, but no dash warnings. After texting Chris Heimburg, GT-R tech with Fontana Nissan, he told me to check the battery connections. I thought, "how could that be, I just changed the battery myself a couple of months ago." Luckily I checked. The battery tie-down was loose as was the positive terminal. After tightening those down, all was perfect again. In retrospect, both codes had power in common. As did the video recording issue. To NJNYCGTR, as with everything, it depends. Obviously your best chance is being completely stock. But the nature of the trans failure played a huge role, at least for me. I've been modded since Oct 09. My trans went in 2011. But mine was a sensor inside the trans that went out, and it was clearly unrelated to any mods I had. But if you have anything fail remotely related to increased power output, then it's caveat emptor. #9 · Feb 25, 2013

My most recent NASA event, my battery tie down was found to be loose. Appears to be a common problem. Didn't think about that, personally.
