hey, just a quick question, would anything go totally wrong if i reset the ecu in my car?

also correct me if im wrong.. disconnect negative bat terminal, pump the breaks for a bit.. reconnect negative and turn on again?

Correct.....nothing will go wrong...theoretically.

I saw you last night

ooo was I coming or going? Had to have Sugo Mi, then went to Freestylers. And it was good.

good news,

keep us posted :huh:

Cool, hopefully they sort it out and it doesn't cost you too much

+1

Won't have the car back today. They need to try and source some parts tomorrow... so hopefully they can get it all and have her ready tomorrow.

urgh :D What parts does it need?

A relay for the fan/ac control, and some *bsskkt* for the wipers (phone reception was shit) sorta sounded like a switch...

Then hopefully the brake lights and reverse lights are just a fuse. And I'm getting them to have a look at the head unit. The dude at JB said it might be because we didn't have the remote wire connected to ACC. But... I dunno. In hindsight, probably should have gotten one of those adapter plugs :huh:

what, there was adapter plugs available?

probably wouldn't have worked anyway, your stock plug was already half butchered from the previous HU install.

I don't think it can be the remote wire, that's an OUTPUT from the HU to the amp. Maybe it is something to do with the hand brake switch wire that we tied straight to ground?

Hopefully they can fix it pretty easy tomorrow

remote wire is for an amp... is there even an amp in the car? If no its got nothing to do with remote wire. and yes adapter plugs is where its at, cause when the Headunit craps out or you need a new one have fun re-wiring it again :D

Yep very lazy...yawn...

Ah toowoomba not much has changed

I'm about to play my favourite game,

D/L pron at internet cafe, how long will it take til im escorted out. :)

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
