elanscan data from missy

Postby stevo » Tue 29.08.2017, 18:52

evenin all, i finally got round to hooking up missy to the laptop and after a lot of farting about getting it all to talk to each other i managed to log a few minutes of data driving round the block. it seems to show 4 faults but i don't know how to interpret the data. she has been stuck in limp home mode since i got her running again this year, a good few months ago and before i got the cable i done the paper clip test and it showed up as a throttle position sensor fault. i have a zip file here of the data if anyone can have a look? all help appreciated :bowdown:

Only one fault (b2 = fault #4) - no output from the TPS. There should be 5V on the red lead and anywhere between about 0.5V and 4V on the white lead depending on throttle position.

You can see the output voltage in real time on ES...

Yup, TPS Low Fault is showing 'ON' and plot of TPS Voltage & Engine Revs against Engine Run Time shows it's output is 'grovelling around' at 0.2 & 0.4 Volts but does spring into action around 95 seconds but dies immediately after. ECU won't know what the throttle is doing ...

I'm just about to go play football & pub after so won't be back on here till after 11pm ... - so will try to answer any queries then ..

Meanwhile ... over to Geoff :poke:

Not that we're talking behind MacAffro's back or anything...

Mark,

I think you'd have to look extremely hard through old threads/posts before you could find anything helpful that I've ever posted on an elanscan question (unless you count the times I've poked Smiffy or Flashy Phil)....

... not really my area of expertise :?
Dave

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it


...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

That's what the Elanscan data told us. So glad it's sorted... :bananasex:
