Warning light problem

Hey, this is my first post here, but from reading threads, there seems to be a wealth of knowledge surrounding my problem.

I'm working on a fixed 2009 g37x. After having it all rebuilt and proper parts replaced I find a whole slew of warning lights have come on. To be exact, e brake, abs, vdc off, slip and cruise. The airbags were also replaced as well as the control module. The airbag light was out for three weeks after installation, but has recently started blinking as well. As it turns out the fuel gauge no longer works either.

I've checked the fuses and had a couple blown. They were replaced with no worry. But one would blow when first contact to fuse box happened (obv indicating a short). It is fuse 11 aka meter (batt). I obtained the electrical schematics and traced it back directly from the battery to a relay. I switched out the relay for a good one and the fuse did not blow. The lights are still on however.

I'm sure it's a few problems, but I was hoping I might get some professional insight as to where to begin.

Luke

Was this a salvage or flooded vehicle?

Sounds like water damage to me

It was just the front right corner that was hit. No water damage, but the dash was replaced.

Is it throwing any codes? Might help narrow down the issue.

Try the ABS sensor. When it is faulty or detects a fault, the condition of ABS light, slip, AWD, e brake etc occurs. Don't think I've seen cruise but I had this problem on a G35.


Have also seen this condition when brakes are extremely worn. Condition occurs during hard braking and only goes away with car restart when it happens.

For starters look for debris on the AWD sensor or look for crud stuck to the sensor ring.

THe AWD is a magnet and the ring is a series of metal bumps. WHen the ring spins next to the magnet it uses induction to create electrical pulses which the computer measures. If this signal gets hosed up you will get errors.

Fuel temp sensor high output
Fuel level sensor low output
Internal module (keep alive memory) error
Lost Communication With HVAC Control Module

That's all that's coming up.
