Hello everyone,
I'm just buttoning up the last little details on my track-build. Everything is running great, data logs show great AFRs, with zero lost syncs, etc. But my stock CEL in the dash continuously flashes "long - long - short - short - short - short", which I think is 004 (or 24?). The thing is, I don't even have the CEL output enabled in Tunerstudio!
Might anyone know why the light is flashing? Should I pull the pin 1E (CEL via Digital Freq. 1) out of the stock ECU plug and see if it is still flashing?
Set up is MS3 ProPnP; turbo 98 Aussie NB8A, 1.8, non-VICS.
Hi-ho Vlad, thanks for the reply and great to hear from you . Hope you had a restful holiday. It would be fantastic if you were in a position to work on the tune. I will email you the most recent files, we are running on the post-dyno files now, with WOT tuning done.
I've double-checked everywhere I can think of, the CEL doesn't seem to be turned on anywhere..
Oh. Wow. You were right Reverant, it is the Immobiliser that is flashing, not the CEL - pretty embarrassing, sorry about that. So, based on your reply on Mx5Miata.net:
The flashing is done by the module, not the MS3. Basically, its telling you that it can't communicate with the stock ECU (shock and awe; how could that even happen?). The immobiliser doesn't cut the fuel pump; it send a signal to the stock ECU not to fire the injectors and coils, and it cuts the starter motor itself (even in the absence of the stock ECU)."
- I guess I just disconnect the light at the back of the dash to solve the problem?
Thanks heaps
