Michael Riedweg Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Hello everyone I searched in the whole forum but didn't find a anser so I had to start a new topic. Finally I found some time to install my mxs 1.2 link branded dash in my car. Connected the CAN to my Link G4X ECU (Plug in for CA18det Engine) and tried to configure everything. Now, accidentally I may deleted everything what was pre-setted on my MXS and now I don't figure out, how to connect those two (ECU and DASH) together. Ist there a way to download a pre-setting file from Link to load it on the dash again? Or is there a discription for all setups when you want to connect the ECU with the dash? I watched the video from Link in youtube and tried all of these options, but nothing works. -> Settings in ECU with CAN1, choose dash, 20Hz, ID1000... -> Settings in dash with almost every Link ECU I tried (i have 3 diffrent to choose) I really don't know how to set up this and think, it will really be a small problem if someone can help me out...

koracing Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Attach a copy of your tune and your dash configuration file and I'm sure someone will be able to help you with it. Michael Riedweg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Riedweg Posted March 1 Author Report Share Posted March 1 I've got the files with my settings in the attachment. On the ECU I tried with CAN1 and CAN2, 20Hz and 50Hz. Last was 50Hz. Can anyone help me? MXS 1.x Strada 01.03.2024.zconfig Dash Connect 01.03.2024.pclx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koracing Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 Your ecu firmware is pretty old - it may be a good idea to try updating the firmware and trying again. I'm not sure when they added the "Transmit Link AIM MXS Strada Dash" option where previously you would have just selected "Transmit Generic Dash", but that could be tied to the firmware. On the ecu side, the help menu says to use 20Hz, but I'm not sure that matters as much. The rest of the ecu setup looks ok to me. Your dash config file looks ok to me. Do you get any errors on the F12 status runtime CAN tab while connected to the dash with key on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Riedweg Posted March 2 Author Report Share Posted March 2 Thank you! I downloaded and updated the newest firmware to my ecu, but it didn't help. Now I checked all of the wirings, tried on the ECU the CAN1 and CAN2 output with the cable, but nothing happens. Am I right, that usually I should see the dash, when I search on the ECU in the CAN Setup for CAN Devices (picture attatched)? And no, I don't have any CAN faults on the ECU. On the dash I connected the white cable to the CAN High (+) and the blue to the CAN Low (-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Both your ECU and dash config are fine, most likely a wiring issue. Can you attach some pics of the CAN wiring between ECU and dash? Michael Riedweg and Electredge 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you attach some pics of the CAN wiring between ECU and dash? Sorry for late anser. Pictures are attatched. I use the LINK cable to connect the dash with the ecu. I opend the ECU to try the plug on CAN1 and CAN2, but both didn't work. The 12V is connectec temporary, but this is not really a problem. You can see that the dash is workng and I tryed to set some parameters to show me if the ECU is connected. On the TPS (right below) it should show me the status without the engine is running (only with power on the ECU) how wide it is opend, same as the ECU does when I connect it with the LINK software, right? So there you can see now, the 12V is here, but no connection between the ECU and the dash.

Michael Riedweg Posted March 19 Author Report Share Posted March 19 Still on the same point... Have maybe anyone the original pre-setted date from the mxs-strada when it comes new from the factory? I want to try, if it maybe works with this. I don't have any more ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Can you unplug the 14pin plug at the back of the dash, and with ignition on, measure voltage between pin 8 (CANH) & 2(Gnd) and also between Pin 9 & 2. This will confirm there is CAN data reaching the dash. Attached stock MXS config. Link MXS 1.2 Strada.zconfig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Riedweg Posted March 30 Author Report Share Posted March 30 I mesured. Between 2 and 9 I've got +1.6V, and between 2 and 8 it's +3.2V Between CAN high an low I've got 1.5V Seems to me, that the signal from the ECU arrives at the dash. Maybe something is wrong with my dash? I tried now with your software, and still didn't work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Riedweg Posted 38 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 38 minutes ago Still on the same point... I've now tried with diffrent settings, and changed the CAN high an low as well, but nothing worked. Could it be, that my dash arrived with a error/defect? Does anyone have experience with returns/refunds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
