I just purchased an 01' rubicon that is stuck in fault mode. The display blinks, cuts out in reverse, and says its going 0 all the time. It came with a honda service manual and I followed the code retrieval method, but it just continually blinks. I tried the reset procedure and still the same. Its just continous blink with no different spacing between blinks. When you take off when its cold it will work for maybe a minute. It seems to work a good while in esp mode if I'm just putting around in the first few gears. then when I get on it it will fault out. When it is working properly, reverse works fine. no cutting out. But the MPH gauge does not work ever. I bought the quad this way and the previous owner just put a new timing chain in it. It runs great I just wish I could fix this thing and make it ridable. thanks ahead for any advice.

 

Wish I could help. I have a 01 Rubicon doing kind of the same thing. On the instrument cluster, it's blinking a code, in reverse it barely moves then cuts on and off. Seems to be stuck in high gear. The only thing I could tell it might be is the shift solenoid or at least that's what I think it's called on the left side of the engine going into the transmission. When I turn the key on, the solenoid seems to engage and make a noise for a couple seconds. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

can you tell what code yours is putting out?

 

Sounds like a bad angle sensor, sometimes it will just stay blinking untill you replace it.

 

Wheres the angle sensor located and would this happen if its a angle sensor. I turned the switch on and off about ten times then it cleared out and started shifting fine . It set then I went back the problem reappeared .Problem being cuts back in reverse and not shifting and instrument cluster blinking instead of the gear it's in showing...

 

01 rubi I can't get a code it's just blinking .

 

The angle sensor is on the left side behind the plastic cover over the exhaust. Yes this can make the screen just blink and not be able to pull up a code.

 

Thx cluby

 

Yeah, Thanks cluby. sounds like I should try an angle sensor first. I read somewere that you had to preload those before install? Also I wonder if that would make my MPH gauge not work? Thanks
