Hi Adam.
That's really great, thank you!

Hi Adam, Many thanks for your relpy!
That sounds promising! I have a WRX6X ECU that I want to install all of this on. I was led to believe that the Link ECU couldn't differentiate the stock cruise button information. It may have only been on the XT model Forester, that had the cruise stalk behind the steering wheel. Something about one button doing more than one job?
I believe the V11 models with steering wheel buttons use a switch with varying resistance? I.e. not individual wires per switch, but one switch that gives off a different Ohms reading whether you press Accel or cancel or enable. If I was was to wire that into my WRX6 ECU would it work using one input?
If I have to wire each switch command in on separate inputs, then I won't bother installing the DBW throttle, I'll keep the cable throttle
-
Just to add, I'm looking for a solution that won't use up all my my spare I/O's. I know I need clutch and brake switch inputs etc.
I've already used a lot up retrofitting AVCS, Flex fuel and various temp and pressure inputs.
I've read the file in the help section on cruise control. I'm hoping to be cheeky and do most of it via CAN if possible?

Hi all,
I was having a thought about my build, and wondered if it would work? Now that the wrx11 ECU is out, I would assume Link have mastered CAN BUS and the cruise control strategy on the 2008+ Impreza with DBW.
If I was to retrofit a DBW throttle body and pedal to my earlier model Subaru, running a P'N'P G4x ECU, and used a 2008+ steering wheel, could I be able to use the cruise control using the CAN data from the 2008 car?
What other parts if any would I require over the pedal, throttle body and the steering wheel & clock spring.
Similarly, I have a customer with an SG Forester XT who lost his cruise control when we fitted the Link ECU, it would be nice to have that working again for him, so if I can retrofit later Subaru hardware and enable it again, he'd be very happy indeed!

The engine light isn't currently working as it should. The battery light is, there's a sample map on another post on here with the all the can stuff I have, made by Adam

Just an update on this thread that I've learned about. The odometer doesn't count up distance covered. Apparently there’s a counter coming from the stock ECU to do the odometer, plus another message the ECU sends out to configure the ABS. The message differs depending on region though (UK, Aus, and USA are all different).
-
Has anyone got the can Id's to turn off abs, traction, immobiliser light and rev shift beep?
I'm running a link thunder ecu. Have everything else working.
Thanks -
Ooh, do you happen to know which wire? That'll be the easiest way.
Yes stock ecu still connected for now so my gauge cluster works, but I want to remove it and use the link to control the dash. I found the can protocols on here from Adam in another thread
-
Thank you Littlefeck.
So when my car wouldn't crank the immobiliser light was flashing. I plugged the stock rx8 ecu back in minus the can hi/lo wires. Still no crank, immobiliser light flashing. Reconnected can hi/lo wires and it ran
2004 UK model rhd

So I've copied everything can over into my thunder to get the rx8 dash to work.
I cut the OE can wires at the rx8 ecu and connected the thunder can wires there. Trouble is now the stock immobiliser won't turn off. Is there a way the thunder can tell the car it's okay to de-immobilise? Or is it a case of just rewiring the key/starter solenoid?
Sorry, CAN newbie here

Hi all! I've noticed on my vvti 1jz that the coolant figures are reading higher than they are. Does anyone have the values so I can configure it?

can you get a scan tool hooked up to it or some other thing that can display steering position/torque sensor output as the EPS ECU sees it? then go wiggling some wires between the torque sensor and the EPS ecu. if the sensor test ok, and you have intermittent (cold) errors thrown for it, then I'd be suspicious of wiring issues like corrosion in one of the connectors or a loose female side in one of them
I will, I'm at the point of trying anything.
I visually inspected the connectors and the wiring and they all look good. I've got two eps ecu's that I've tried.
Using my toucan I've been turning the car on and off as I'm driving to get the steering assist to work. Coolant temp was showing 80'c for the assist to work. I may try and make something to cover the eps ecu up, as its currently bolted to the chassis on spacers. Like I said in an earlier post the foam air filter used to sit over it before I deleted the maf sensor.

According to the rx8 manual, the criteria & wiring for that code are independent of the ECU
It also says you should have 15 Ohms from a-b and b-c terminals of the torque sensor. Maybe its got a bad connection somewhere and it comes right once there is a bit of heat around?
I have 13.6 ohms between C and b from cold and 14 ohms between a & b at the eps ecu
13.6ohms on both a&b and b&c at the rack
It's between 12 and 15 ohms so all within spec

I am currently using a link xtreme ecu in a Mazda RX8, I have set up CAN 2 to talk to the existing car network in place of the factory ECU. Is it possible to send/receive more than 6 channels or is it possible to send multiple CAN IDs from one stream?
Sorry to open an old post up, littlefeck did you use the link to control the factory PAS ecu?
-
Thanks for the reply, I'll have a look and see what it is.
I connected a code reader and checked the values of the torque sensor when turning the wheel from cold and they were within spec. I didn't think to get the multimeter out.
The odd thing is that when I had the stock 1jz ecu connected to engine it doesn't do it. I will investigate.
I'm just thinking the only other thing that's different now is I've removed the jz maf sensor. That's pushed the air filter back a few inches so it's not sat over the pas ecu anymore.
-
One thing I've noticed recently,
If I start the car up from cold the pas fault is present. If I let the car get up to temperature and turn it off and start it up again, the fault has gone and the pas works??
-
Yes. The rx8 trigger wheel and sensors are on the jz engine along with coolant temp and oil pressure.
-
Hi Adam. Thanks for the reply.
Yes it currently has the stock rx8 ecu in place controlling the dash etc. I've got the thunder wires run to where the stock ecu is with a view for the thunder to control the dash.
I've got the can file example you uploaded in another thread loaded on the laptop ready to put it.
Will it need more can information for the pas ecu?

Hi all. I've just put a thunder in my rx8 running a 1jz vvti. I've had the car running on stock jz management with an emanage blue for a year now without any issues.
I've swapped to the thunder for obvious reasons. The car side of things is currently still as it always has been.
Since installing the thunder my electric power steering fails and throws up a B2278 code. Torque sensor malfunction. I can see in the live data its operating within range. Sometimes it starts up fault free, most times it throws this code.
Anyone else encounter this?

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I couldn't get the rx8 can file to open?

Hi Adam,
I'm just trying to configure my software to go from cable throttle to DBW. I'm using a V1.4 board so have the expansion connector. I see it has 3x AN volt pins. I have APS main and APS sub on there, which is leaving one spare. Do you have to populate the entire expansion connector when swapping over to DBW? (forgive me, I've never converted before, normally work on factory cable or factory DBW cars)
Just to add, I have the + & - going to Aux 9 & 10. I wanted to get a base map configured ready before I install the hardware and wire it all up
