MoTeC Initial Starting Procedure 41
Initial Starting Procedure
The ECU Manager software should be used to assist during starting.
The ECU Manager software allows 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. The calibration tables and
setup parameters should also be checked.
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 ECU Manager software should indicate that
the ECU is connected (At the bottom left corner of the screen)
Diagnostic Errors
Before starting the engine check the diagnostics errors on the ECU Manager
: 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).
