I installed the apexi neo in my car as per instructions on clubvr4 and now my engine warning light is staying on. Anyone who could help it would be much appreciated .Thanks Pete_D
I went through the initial config , setting the number of Cylinders and the Throttle position.
Started the car this morning and the engine warning light came on and stayed on. Because I had to go out I cut all the wires and reconnected to Karmen sensor wires. Car then started and ran without a problem.
I'll have to tidy up the wiring harness then have anther go at it.
Christian seeing as you've done it before would could you help me out and double check the wiring. Once it's done correctly run through the initial configuration again. Hopefully this time it'll work correctly.
I have the safc 2 and had a similar problem as I hadn't saved the settings properly and it always reverted back too the default values rather than being set for karmen input.might just be that
Its most likely the Karman sensor wire Peter, mine did the same thing. i re-checked it and found the connector was not quite in. no probs since then.
How's she running?
It'll be the weekend before I get around to redoing the install. As I said in my earlier post I was in a rush to get going so I just clipped the wires. The manual is is in the usual JAP-ENGRISH so it's a bit hard to understand. As Thomo said I don't think it saved the settings. I'll fix up the wires and redo the install with Chris either Saturday arvo or Sunday. I'll contact you directly Chris and we'll work out a time and date.
i didnt have this problem setting up mine, but the install instructions said to make sure you reset the settings before starting the car (theres an option called 'initialize' which is engrish for reset ) and you then go through and do the rest...
if i remember right, the problem i had is that when i was looking at the wrong ecu diagram occasionally (kept glancing at the one below which looked awefully similar) but when rechecking the wires made sure they were all right. the only wire you cut is the karman one (signal from air flow meter), but im assuming you know that. the rest just splice wires for the readings.
Christian is a pro with all that stuff, so you should have it all sorted come saturday/sunday. Another thing to check is make sure you had only the karman one connected, and you had the ins and outs the right way round for the signal from the sensor to the unit and back to the ecu..
OK. Re-wired the NEO and currently all looks good. Engine started and NO warning lights this time. Left the car for a while and tried again and it was still all good. Tomorrow I'll tidy up the connections and put everything back together again. But I'll make sure it'll still start and run without any warning lights. I'm a little embarrassed to admitted but I got the Karman wires arse about face. Should have doubled checked. But in my own defence I was pretty well stuffed as I'd been working on the car doing various jobs all day.
Next task is to hook up the MBC and get the car tuned. Then we wait for a decent FMIC kit to become available.
All seems good. Need to get a high flow cat on the car as the one installed is pretty small. Interested to see the difference between untuned and tuned.
