Weird Safcii Fault


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, just got myself a '97 C34 S1 RSfour, came with an SAFCII, airflow lines have been taken back to stock, but the unit is still wired in.

On start up, it displays as per the first attached pic. After pressing the center button (I.E. trying to get to the menu), is displays as per the second pic.

Anyone got any ideas - I think the unit is cactus, but you never know.

Cheers

start by checking all your wiring, i may be possible you disturbed a bad connection.

-there will be a plug that links the display to the ecu loom, check that is plugged in properly.

-another thing, the SAFC has 2 grounding wires, if one of those have come off or they are spliced in the wrong way around it will cause issues. from memory there is a brown wire and a black wire, they both need to be spliced into the one ecu ground wire and the brown one (i think) needs to be closest to the ecu with the black about 50mm further down the line. do you have the wiring diagrams for the SAFC to check i have the colours the right way around lol?

Gone through all the wiring, re did all the connections by soldering (rather than the shitty little splice crimps they provide).

As I was going through it, the ground wires were connected the wrong way around (brown is meant to be closest to the ECU, but black was), I fixed this, but still no joy.
