Fraser Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi folks. First time Link user here and ive had no issues tuning with it so far. Trying to polish up the details now but i'm really struggling to get the closed loop idle control working after so many attempts. 'Idle status' always shows 'speed NOT selected' The ethrottle target is always 'table 1' surely this should change to ethrottle target at some point? The ethrottle target table 1 is set to '0' at closed throttle and base idle position is '2.5' to give an idle speed of 1k rpm. No amount of increasing or reducing the error by altering the idle setpoint will make it respond or 'control' All it will do is perform a % increase when the coolat fan comes on, and it jumps to this setting with no issues. How does it know whether or not to look at table 1 in an idle condition? Would uploading a short log file help work out whats going on or are there specific settings i should check? The help file doesnt have a lot of detail on this topic. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 To fix the "speed not selected message", Under chassis and body you need to go into speed sources and set driven wheel speed source to something relevant - probably LR wheel speed in an RWD car with a gearbox based speed sensor.

Fraser Posted March 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 Thanks for the reply. Ive not selected a drive speed lockout so i assumed the road speed was not required. Surely i dont need to install road speed feedback to get it to idle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted March 27, 2018 Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi Fraser, I think you just found a bug!. It is not common to use closed loop with the speed lockout turned off so it probably hasnt been noticed before but as you have found when you turn the speed lockout off, the idle control goes into constant "speed not defined" mode To get around this you just need to assign a speed source - you dont actually need a speed sensor connected to the ecu or even a DI assigned to speed. The settings below worked in your map for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Posted March 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks for the reply. I thought it was something stupid i had missed. I will give it a try in a couple of days and let you know. Fraser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Made the changes as suggested and idle control burst into life. Thanks for the help. I doubt i would have found that one myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StijnFSP Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Had the same issue on a ttlink so i also think its a bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be fixed in the next release. For now you just need to assign a speed source - even if you dont have one connected. 10 hours ago, Shedley said: just had same issue ^^ Also not seem to have Idle Derivative Gain Table There is no Idle derivative table for E-throttle.

Don't understand this, my manual says something different, that's why i'm a bit confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im using a newer version of PC Link. That must have been a mistake that has since been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
