mmaigret Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 I recently rewired my sensors, and am now having difficulty getting CAN Lambda working again. I added an ignition-switched relay for the CAN Lambda, as well as the 22uF capacitor, but strangely now when the engine is running I am seeing the Lambda status toggle between diagnostics and calibration, before reporting error 53 controller not found!. It then repeats the cycle with status changing from initializing back to diagnostics. I'm not sure if I damaged the CAN Lambda or O2 sensor somehow during the process, but I've checked all the basics (power, ground, and the CAN setup->CAN Devices in PC-Link appears to find the device) and have not found any obvious issues. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Log file attached. Thanks, Mike lambda issues.llg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 So has it previously worked ok before your re-wiring? Did you only change the wiring on the 4 pin connector side of the controller or did you mess with the sensor side of the controller wiring also? Can you attach the tune also.

mmaigret Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Hi Adam, Thanks for response. Yes, it previously worked OK. I changed the entire harness from the Link board-level connector to the CAN-Lambda Deutsch connector. I did not mess with the O2 sensor side at all, other than unplugging the connector temporarily. What I can't determine is did I mess up something with the rewiring, or did I compromise the hardware somehow. I'm not sure how to further debug. Do you have any suggestions? I believe I've attached the current tune file. tune082620.pclr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted August 26, 2020 Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 Ok, its really odd to see that error 54, but it appears to be communicating correctly so we can assuming the CAN side is ok. It is like it isnt powering up fully or something. So as a test I would pull your power/ground wires out of the DTM plug and temporarily run to new wires direct to the battery, so that all the existing power supply is bypassed. If it then boots up and works with no errors then you can concentrate on it being a power supply issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaigret Posted August 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thanks Adam. I created a direct supply option from battery 12V to the controller. Will give it a try and report back here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaigret Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Well, a direct connection to battery/ground worked, and with further debugging was able to diagnose relay was not wired correctly. Thanks Adam! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
