Volcom86 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Hey all, I am having issues viewing data from the ECU CAN1 to the Plex SDM-500 Dash. I have updated the Plex to the latest firmware so it is all up to date The ECU is seeing the can port connected however the dash display is not getting any data. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Attached files for reference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I dont see much wrong in your ECU set-up. Can you give us some pics of the CAN wiring just in case there is something obvious there. Volcom86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcom86 Posted September 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Thank you @Adamwfor looking into it. Unfortunately I haven't got photos of it atm as I have closed it all off. Once I get to it I will get you some photos Adam. What I did was purchased the Link 5 pin connector and made my own Can-Bus. I connected the Number 2 CAN wires from the Plex device and connected it to the Link Ecu CAN Number 1 connection directly with the twisted wires the Plex comes with. Could this be the issue? Could the other issue be that I am using CAN2 from the Plex device into CAN1 on the link side? As you know the Plex Dash comes with CAN1 & CAN2. I connected the Plex to the ignition 12v and Ground to the cigarette switch ground so it turns on when the Ecu comes on. Thanks again for any input as this sure has me going nuts spent almost the whole wknd playing with this with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Can you attach your plex config. Volcom86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volcom86 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 @Adamw Attached Plex Config Thank you Plex SDM-500 Link Config.pdc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 Ok, it looks like your dash set up is wrong, you had no receive set up on CAN 2 and you had the Link RS232 receive turned on. So try the file below, I had disabled the RS232 and loaded a CAN receive template. Volcom86.pdc Volcom86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcom86 Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I have one last question. What am I doing wrong here... I am trying to get my Ethanol % showing up and I have follow this little tutorial https://1drv.ms/u/s!AiYbYlZQuRHPtGpksumYRqo5cH7A?e=L0nxEN but I guess I am still doing it wrong. I have attached the ECU file as well as the PLEX configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
