MoTeC Initial Starting Procedure 35
Initial Starting Procedure
The E.M.P. Software should be used to assist during starting.
The E.M.P. Software allows all calibration tables and setup parameters to be
checked, all diagnostics errors and sensor readings to be checked and allows
the injectors, ignition system and auxiliary outputs to be tested while the
engine is stopped.
Pre Start Checks
Calibration Tables & Setup Parameters
Check that all Setup Parameters have been set appropriately.
Check that all calibration tables have sensible values in them.
Check that any advanced functions such as Traction Control are turned off.
Power to the ECU
If the ECU has power then the E.M.P. Software should indicate that the ECU
is connected (At the top right corner of the screen)
Diagnostic Errors
Before starting the engine check the diagnostics errors on the E.M.P.
Diagnostics Errors screen. Any errors must be rectified before starting the
Engine.
To clear any non current errors press the Enter key on the PC while viewing
the Diagnostics Errors screen.
Note that the Diagnostic Errors are lost if the ECU power is turned off.
Sensor Errors
If an error is shown for a sensor that is not fitted the sensor should be
disabled by setting the sensor setup number to zero.
Sensor Errors may be due to bad wiring to the Sensor (either short circuit or
open circuit).
