Link g4+ fury . Link mxs strada ethanol content

[Brad Foreman]

Hey there 

Have a link g4+ fury with ethanol content sensor wired in and working and tuned for flex fuel. Everything there is great 

Using a link mxs strada 1.2 dash

There seems to be  nothing in the software to display ethanol content 

Is it possible  with this dash to display ethanol content ? Without changing to dare I say a hal%$#@ dash ?

Ethanol content is in the latest revision of the ecu CAN stream but it hasnt made it in to the AIM software yet.  If you attach your dash config I can manually add it with a custom stream.

awesome heres the config file

MXS 1.2 Strada - Link Config 01.zconfig

[Adamw]

Your updated config attached.  Make sure your ECU is on the latest 5.6.8 firmware.

also now my gear selection is stuck on 1. where as was working fine before. works fine on pclink

[Brad Foreman]

actually found out how to update .

update went good.

ethanol content is working on the dash display.

Adam - can you share how you did that?  I’d like to have ethanol content on my AiM MXL2 as well

@Brad Foreman Try your dash config attached.  Everything looks correct in the last setup as far as I can see.  In this one I have changed the Gear position to use an encoded value rather than just the raw number, lets see if that works.  

 

@Sterling Attached below is a .xc1 file.  Go to the CAN Protocols builder in RS3 (<>+ icon at top left of RS3), in that screen click import and navigate to this .xc1 file.  Once imported close that screen and open your dash config file for editing.  Go to the ecu stream tab and click on changhe ecu, in the Link folder you will now have an ecu named "Generic New", select that.  When a screen pops up asking to rename channels or whatever uncheck the box that says "use previous names" or similar and click ignore at the bottom.  Fix any errors on your display pages and alarms.  Save and send the config to the dash.

hey still nothing . the can stuff is above my head so i cant trouble shoot anything . whats wierd is if i go back to my original config it works fine

[Adamw]

Try this one.  R and N wont work but it may give us an idea what is going on.  I dont have a dash with me to test at the moment.

Brad Foreman V3.zconfig

[Brad Foreman]

It works !!!

only thing different is neutral use to be N but now its 0

[Brad Foreman]

Adam thank you for the support!!

Hi, i dont suppose you could add the ethanol content fix to my file. I tried importing the above can protocol and everything worked fine but Gear position is missing from that one which i need. 

 

cheers

This is an old thread, the dash stream has since been updated and includes Ethanol content.  I just had a look in your dash config and you already have it there.

If it is not working then it probably means your ECU is on old firmware.
