The fuse is in still can you just yank it out to see if its blown or is that unsafe
if it was a fuse i would have thought that the red ayc light would be on. when you turn the key on does the red light come on for a few secs and all 3 bars light up?
No nothing happens at all. The abs light, door open light etc all come on. The word AYC lights up but its white not red but the 3 bars do nothing
Just to confirm, silly question perhaps: Did you have the throttle applied through the corner or did you lift off at all? Reason I ask is because if there was no drive to the wheels then AYC maybe didn't detect any slipping (hope I make sense).Originally Posted by bbunnys

I know what ya mean but I was acclerating
ok, the lights not coming up when you turn the car on is a strange one, perhaps the bulbs are all blown or removed?
silly question - does it have ayc? not just a type v thats had the hi vis dash put in? does it have the hydrolic resivoir in the boot?
Havent looked in the boot where would it be located.
Just had a quick look in the boot and pulled panel off by right hand tail light. There was a little tank in there with a gold top on it. I un did it and had a dip stick attatched to it and fluid in it. Im guessing thats it?
thats it
AYC won't always activate. If you have the traction control switched on, then your car will understeer dreadfully if there is a lack of grip. AYC may or may not cut in, depending mainly on how much front end grip there is.
Also, how fast were you going? From what I gather AYC simply won't cut in without sufficient power below certain speeds. AYC also won't help if the car is actually doing what it thinks you want it to.
but he is saying that none of the lights come on when he turns the key on - which is a woory.
if you drive at say 30 - 40km/h and serve left to riight 3 or 4 time quickly does it come on?
No it doesnt come on at all. The fluid etc all looks good but as you say when I turn key on nothing lights up and yesterday when it was wet I was going 50km/h and turned. The car just drifted sideways. No lights nothing and I sure it wasnt working as car got very loose very quick. I only got car last thursday so maybe I should have the dealer on who I got it off and see what they say. Cause I dont want to fork out money to get it fixed. I do have a machnical warranty with car but maybe just best to get dealer to sort it out. Seeing it cant of been going when I got car.
yeah hit him up now. pretty sure consumer act says he will have to get it sorted
yep, it is a fault with the car
It depends on the type of slide.
AYC is, as its name indicates, Active Yaw Control. A yaw movement is essentially movement around the centre point of the car. so if you were to put a stake through the centre of the car, then spin the car, you have a yaw movement.
The diff is designed to either create this movement or restrain it depending on which is deemed best for cornering at the time. A flat power slide does not need AYC as there is little yaw movement.
If you find yourself having to counter steer then yes, your AYC lights should have lit.
I have done many power slides that in the wet that did not light up the AYC.
could try getting the diagnostic codes from the ECU (grounding pin 1 of the ODBII connector)... this at least should make the AYC light go (if there is a working bulb in there)
Not just a fault, also an attempt to conceal it.
can anyone tell me,my friend has a noisy ayc pump, disconnect the ayc fuse and all is quiet, put a fuse back in and the noise returns, got new tyres all round, would changing the tyres /wheels, from original size to 19 in cause the problem, is it common for these pumps to get noisy, or is it something more terrible,??
change the fluid
