Gear Letters Over CAN to IC7

[Adz79]

I have a G4+ PNP for my 300ZX and running a Haltech IC7 over CAN. I was using RPM/Load for gear detection and was sending the Neutral signal fine. I have now changed to a Gear Position Sensor. I have setup the gear detection correctly and the ECU is reporting P N and R. But when transmitted to the IC7 dash it’s showing allocated gear numbers 9(P) 10(R) and 11(N). Is there a way to modify the CAN stream so the IC7 will see the Letters instead of numbers?

 

Thanks in Advance

No you can only send a numerical value over CAN.  You will have to ask Haltech to correct their dash firmware.

I had this a while ago, contacted Haltech and they corrected the map. It should have been rolled up in the newest ICC firmware.

Basically they changed the ecuchannels.json to correctly show the Generic Dash Gear Position numeration. 

  {
    "unitGroup": 12,
    "unitSelection": 0,
    "ID": 40,
    "Name": "Gear",
    "DefaultLabel": "Gear",
    "DefaultUnit": null,
    "MinimumValue": 0.0,
    "MaximumValue": 15.0,
    "Shortname": "",
    "Function": "Gear Position",
    "Unit": "Gear",
    "PullupPosition": "",
    "PullupStatus": 0,
    "ThresholdValue": 2.5,
    "SensorIndex": -1,
    "MuxValue": -1,
    "MuxByteOrder": "",
    "EcuCanID": 1404,
    "EcuByteOrder": "3-2",
    "OBDIICanId": 0,
    "OBDIIByteOrder": null
  },

Thank you both. I spoke to Haltech this morning and they have corrected my dash config file to read correctly. They also informed me that the next IC7 update will have this corrected.
