E Manage Communication Error

[GTR1993]

HI Everyone,

A bit of back ground, I haved tuned my Autronic smc, power fc using fc edit, a friends 1200 ute with sr20 and sm2 etc. I am flying in and out of Mt Isa for a month or two working at the lead mine. Anyway it turns a uni buddy of mine has a soarer with an e manage on it and has been having some issues.

He has a wide band connected etc, and I have the skills to tune it pretty good, the problem is I have next to no experience with the E manage but it doesn't seem that hard. The problem I have is with a communicatin error.

Run down here I can get more info tomorrow if needed:

I can get online no problems, the icon flashes green noting it is online in real time mode.

When I try to import or export maps I get a net work error!

When I open a new blank map and try to use the map tracer I can not get it to work.

Could there be an issue with firware versions and software versions on the lap top?

At first I tought maybe it was the usb to serial converter so I sourced an old lap top to try with intergral serial port, same issue.

Any info I can read or experiences? Cheers

I've had this issue before, and its a bitch to sort out.

Good luck with it - I'm not sure if I ever got it working, and I'm a IT Network engineer...

Always hated the emanage, but I think thats one of the very few options available in the soarer?

He might be better off checking to see if nistune has an option?

just check that both the unit and software are the same version, and maybe try a new usb lead that said mine drops out all the time ....

here is a bit of help also, coming from my IT line of work -

- Serial cables easily die. If its old, replace it.

- USB to Serial Converters don't like being in the sun at all.

- Don't put a long USB cable between the converter and the laptop

I've been tuning for years now, and I've had so many issues like this that makes me want to give up sometimes. They are so problematic.

[STATUS]

go to www.trust-power.com and download latest update and update the firmware in the EMU to the latest version.

should fix it.

Secondly open unit and look for the series... the boards are lettered either A B C D E and pretty much anything other than the E is a pain in the ass on Toyota.

Hi Trent,

I have 1.49 on the e manage now, also 1.49 running on the lap top, connects and map trce is working etc, now one other issue, is a emanage blue just a big safc?? I mean it doesnt seem I can get a load signal, I had a read on the net and it seems you can get a map sensor and harness for the emanage, do I need this or can I use the factoy one (Soarer 1jz). Once I know this I will have it sorted.

[STATUS]

MAf table is tps vs rpm (program tps first)

IGN and injection adder tables are load vs rpm.

does it trace down in any of the maps or only accross?

[GTR1993]

Ok I have sorted it ( a bit)

It had a greddy profec installed, needed to select this as the load source. Have also found that TPS and factory MAP are wired around the wrong way (dont know who wired this)

I need to go through all the wiring because in the injection adder table I selected every cell and put it to 100% duty and nothing happened, any ideas here before I check all the wiring side?

With MAF table as you say it is tps vs rpm, do I even need to use this?

On the ignition side if I add any timing the car dies straight in the ass, even at light cruise so I thought there is possibly a wiring issue.

[GTR1993]

OK update time

Fixed the TPS and map issue, now the in the MAF table if i add fuel it works as it should, gets rish and lean with addition and subtraction of fuel. Next issue, no matter how much fuel I add to he injector table is makes no difference, also with ignition if i add or subtract even a degree of timing the car will stall.

I quickly checked one pair of injectors (1jz) is batch fire and it was correct, didnt get time for the other ones as I was trying to do some other things. Trent have you ever had this issue?
