Jamesn Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Sorry just read that have put this in wrong section. Hey guys new to the link ecu community. Had my link installed in my 88 ford courier running an rb20det. Took out engine and repainted and put back in, pluged all in to find its not going. I do notice a blue light comes on then flashes a few times and repeated. I have spark and fuel but guessing this could be why its not running. My question is what would this blue light mean and also i never got a cd to instal pc link software.am i able to download this to maybe view data on that and may have the problem Many thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Use the latest G4+ PC Link, it is at the top of our downloads page and is presently V5.6.5. Any mini USB cable should work. Have you got the ECU powered up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 The blue light will flash error codes if they are present. Count the flashes and decode as below. report back what fault codes you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesn Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Sorry but what does that mean. All new to this.. is it a setting i can turn of if i plug link onto pc? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hill Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 If you install the software and connect the ECU , once online with the ECU the map will automatically load. Then, look down the left hand side and expand the analogue inputs tree. Have a look at the an volt 5 function and see what it is assigned to. That might shed some light on the fault. Also, there is a drop down menu to see the fault codes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesn Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Have downloaded software connected ecu to computer but comes up with "unable to connect to ecu. Please check..." do i have to change some settings? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesn Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Have got it to work under statistics comes up with fault codes AN T2 at 5V fault code count 1. How do i clear this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Try clearing it and if it comes straight back it means whatever temp sensor is normally connected to AN Temp 2 is either dead or unpluggged (or wiring broken). It will not prevent the car from starting though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesn Posted October 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 Managed to sort out grounding issue and got ute to start. My question is as soon as it fired up it reved right to limiter pretty much (dont have a tacho but pretty much sounded that way) i turned the tps either way to see if throttle was held open and still same issue. Would there be a setting i need to change to sort this out? Have attatched a pic of last reading noticing the tp main is at 52.6%.

Adamw Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 If the engine can rev that high then there must be air getting past the throttle. Either the throttle blade is stuck partially open or you have a large air leak somewhere in the manifold. Since the tps is showing an odd number I would be most suspicious that the throttle is open. Pull the intake pipe off and have a look what is going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank Posted August 4, 2023 Report Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hey guys, I had a check engine light come on, its a link G4X ecu, it flashed 12 times then 3 times, or 3 times then 12 times, any ideas? I cleared it and hasn't came back but would be good to know what it was, happened after I floored it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've posted in the G4+ part of the forum not the G4X part of the forum and should probably have started your own thread but open the PCLink G4X software, open the help manual and have a read of the ECU fault codes page. If the fault is for a specific input pin then you'll need to figure out what that pin is doing by connecting your computer to the ECU or it is a plugin ECU you might be able to get an indication of what it does based on that plugin's pinout.
