Apexi Safc 2 Problem

[STAGEA_KING]

I was installing the SAFC 2 on my car this morning.

turned on the ignition, blue screen poped up, did the initial setting, tried to start the car, the engine turned but won't start.

The AFC2 is second hand, I re-set to the factory setting and tried all the function, but the car just won't start.

I checked all the wire connection, they seem alright. so I really don't know why.......

any idea?

any help will be much appreciated.

by initial setting do you mean that you set the sensor type to Hotwire, Sensor No to 4 In and 4 Out, and Sensor Cal to 1 In and 1 Out. also the Car Select to 6 cylinder and the throttle arrow pointing up.

the other thing that come to mind is the two ground wires, did you get them around the right way i.e brown wire closest the ecu and black wire further back.

if you go into the etc. menu and go sensor check, does anything look out of the ordinary.

I checked with the wires already, it had been connected correctly according to the APEXI installation manual.

QWK32, yes I did all the initial setting like you said and after that the enigne won't start.

when I pulled the plug and re-connected the AFM signal wire back together like factory setting, car started and everything was back to normal.

so.................I still have no idea, is my AFC faulty?

but I can see the blue screen and all function seems alright.

Yeah too easy mate, the settings aren't that hard to figure out. i just find that 9 times out of 10 SAFC issues are in the setup. I know you've said you checked the wiring, but something else it could be is if you have got the SAFC Air Flow Meter In and Out around the wrong way?

If that is right then as you said, you possibly have a busted unit. I don't know if it would be worth getting someone to check it out to confirm if it is dead or not.

checked with all the wires and connection, everything seems fine.

It seems like there is no AF signal output from AFC.........

does anyone know how to test it?

You could measure the signal from your afm with a multimeter. Turn the safc to zero and it should output the same figure.
