HI Adam, just an update on our findings. I checked and adjusted trigger offset to '5' . The timing light is spot on when reference timing is set advance 15,10 5 and retard -5,-10. -15. We did notice that the timing light only comes on after the first 2- 3 seconds of cranking. Im inclinced to increased the arming threshold. And this may the cause of the intermittnet starting. Appreciate your feedback on the current waveforms. It looks much better now. M3 5 offset TriggerScopeLog.llgx M3 basemap 151121.pclx

Thanks mate, I have changed the trigger mode to BMW S52 and will check the TDC offset again. thanks mate!

Hey Adam, pardon me, heres the base map.

Hi Adam, I need your advise for this trigger trace ( taken while car diling at 1k rpm). The motor starts fine, however, every 2nd or 3 rd time you try to crank the motor it just wont start. I have attached a datalog of the cranking the motor and a triggerscope for reference. I noticed that Trigger 1 has a 2 errors on the datalog. I am not sure if the arming threshold for Trigger 2 is sufficient . I used the stock values for this. I havent checked VVT tracking tracking just yet and wanted to check if the Trig 1 & 2 waveforms first. Thank you.

Thanks for the excellant support! I have swapped the AUX 3/4 for the exhasut camshafts in the basemap but I dont need to swap the pinouts right? I will test it this today. Thanks again.

No worries, thanks for confirming this for me. I have attached the base map for the BMW e36 M3 S50B32 dual vanos. For the VANOS configuration, I used the 'S52 dual vanos' for the VVT config setup ( this should be the same for the S50?) .Could you have a quick look at my config if I have set this up correcfly? Current pinout assignemnet tabled below. I am assuming to retard the solenoid is 'bleed solenoid' and advance is 'Pressure solenoid' in the G4X configuration. Im also not sure of the tooth count. I looked up the interweb and it may be 8 tooth on the cams. I will pull the valve cover to check nonetheless. Any advice is much appreciated.

It appears that I can only use AUx 1-4 for the 3 wire ISC motor and have to move the VVT solenoids to AUX 5-6. Is my understanding right?

Hi all, I need some help with allocating Auxilary outputs for a Link G4X for a BMW S50B32. The vehicle has stock; 3 wire idle valve , dual vanos solenoids, intake and exhaust cam sensor and a crank sensor. The intake and exhaust camshaft solenoids are utilising AUX 1-4. as per the recommended diagram. Idle speed control is stock BMW 3 wire solneoid motor, which requires either AUX 1-2 or Aux 3-4 to operate. My question is, can I use AUX 5-6 for the Idle motor or what other options do I have to rearrange the use of the AUX outputs fo this? Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the info Adam, I will connect to a Di input and scope it. Cheers

Hi all, I need some advice if I can wire up a stock BMW Oil level switch from a E36 BMW S50B32 M3 into a Fury G4X. I have been tyring to find more info on this sensor but cant seem to get much beside the pinout from the workshop manual. From the workshop manual, the signal from the sensor is sents a signal to the stock ecu and then to a 'checklight ' on the instrument cluster. How it supposed to work; when the oil is low in the vehicle, the oil level sensor signal to the stock ecu and in turn output to a warning light that flashes on the stock cluster whnen car is started to warn the driver. My question is; !. Can I calibrate the oil level sensor as an input to the LINK G4X ecu ? If I can, then I can output and activate the stock warning light in the instrument cluster to retain this stock functionality? Just trying my luck if anyone has an idea before I try to scope the signal. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this mate.

HI gents, I need to confirm my understanding of the sensor ground/gournd out and shield grounds for a Link Fury G4X. As I understand the shield ground pins (A7) are also connected to Sensor ground pins (A25). When wiring crank and cam position sensors, can I combined the shield wires with the sensor ground for the crank/cam sensors and connect them to shield ground A7? As for knock sensors; can I do the same to combine the knock sensor ground and shield wires to B17? thanks in advance.

We are waiting to swap to another CAN lambda to test as as the current one is reporting errors of 'over and under voltages' randomly.

HI , To summarize, Initially I installed a new CAN lambda with new LSU 4.9 sensor via CAN2 PCB connector in a new Link Evo9 PnP G4X ecu. Lambda is reading correct but reporting '46 IPE overvoltage' consistently when the motor is started. I then moved the power supply & ground for the CAN lambda from the ecu's CAN 2 PCB connector to a switched relay ( wired exaclty like the recommended diagram) . I have installed a few CAN lambdas in the same manner but this is the first time I have seen this error. Now Im getting a consistent - '48 IPE overvoltage error now'. I have attached the log for reference. What could be the issue, any suggestions? Lambda error - 2021-09-14 6;10;09 pm.llgx

Yes, this is a new CAN lambda, LSU 4.9 o2 sensor and G4X pnp ecu. All installed together yesterday. I just started the motor and its idling good now. I just noticed the eror. Should I try another !2V source ( with fused relay)?

Hi Adam, just to report back. CAN lambda is connected and reading as exepected. However, there is a warning of '46 IPE overvoltage'. THis is probably because I used the 14V from the CAN 2/OBD from the PCB. I am leaning towards installing a relay to power the Lambda, unless the over voltage is not an issue for the LINK CAN lambda?

Thanks for confirming this Adam. Excellent support as always.

Hi, quick question, I am installing a Link CAN lanbda into vehicle with a Mitsu Evo 9 PNP G4X ecu. I usually wire it up as recomended in the picture below. However, just to clarifiy , can I also power the CAN Lambda with drectlly from the CAN2/OBD PCB connector that is connected to the ecu? Probably not a good idea but just wanted to check.

Thanks Adam! Have a great weekend ahead.

Hi all, I would like advice to confirm my setup for the single VANOS for a S52b32. These are 'cam switch ' type vanos simialr to the M50 with just one VANOS oil solenoid and a single intake camshaft sensor to help advance the intake cams from 2.5k to 4.5k. I have not fconfigured cam control as this is not a 'vvt' system. I have wired a relay to power the vanos. Im using Aux output 8 to send a 'high side' (12V) to activate the VANOS relay at the defined conditions. Would the GP output config below suffice for his 'cam switch' type setups? Startup map attached for reference. S52b32 bmw startup .pclx

Thanks for confirmin. I will source for a oscilloscope that can generate a rpm signal to bench test the knock sensors Have a great day ahead.

Adam, I cant set RPM low to below 500rpm, thats the min. Any other suggestions?

hi all, I have a Fury G4X connected to a wiring loom and a battery on a table. It has a base map and I can test all outputs/inputs and sensors, except the knock sensor. As I understand the vehicle must be runnng and past the RPM lockouts for the knock sensor to be active. I may be missing the obvious but Is there a way to bench test knock sensors without installing them in a running vehicle?

Hi Adam, thanks for confirming. Yes ,I did change the poliarity to 'low' and expected to see 0V but the Aux ouput 1 is always 12V. I moved the fan to another ouput and it works fine. I did check the other Aux -2,3 and 4 and they working. I will liase with support team If we need to send the ecu to be checked. TGIF Thank you!

Hi gents, How do I tell if an ecu auxilary has failed on a link ecu g4+? As an example, I was trying to configure a Auxlilary output 1 to drive a low side fan relay. When I couldnt activate the relay, I noticed that the Aux output 1 had 12V all the time when the ignition was switched on. The voltage of the output remains 12V even I changed the polarity from 'low' to 'high' or vice versa. I swapped to another Auxilary output and the issue was resolved. Is there another way to test aux ouptuts ( from logs or runtime values) to determine if it has failed? And if its failed, can this be repaired? thank you
