Staffan W-O Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi! I'm currently trying to get my engine running with my brand new G3 plus. The problem that i've runned in to is that i cant seem to get the trigger setup right. Or at least cant get the ECU to recive the trigger signal. Now the engine has two sensors each are with three terminals. One on the crankshaft with a trigger wheel (60 thoots 2 missing). And the second one positioned at the camshaft (one thoot). Crank sensor is wired to trigger one and cam sensor to trigger two. I've tried setting it up with the missing thoot mode, entering that the the triggerwheel got 60 and 2 missing and I think i've got the rest right to (synchlocation cam and multithoot locaition crank etc.). But theres no trigger signals when cranking the engine and no rpm or triggerfaults when im looking at the trigger window in pclink. The sensors are working cause I've replaced them with spare onse that i know work. I've allso checked the wiring and everything seems to be right. Could it just be that i need to reduce or rise the arming voltage? That the link cant read the value out of the sensors right now? Or could it be anything else? I am thankful for any answers or ideas on this matter Regards / SWOX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Hi Staffan the first thing to do is to make sure what type of sensors you are working with. You have stated that they are three wire sensors can you confirm wether thaey are reluctor or hall type note some BMW engines have three wire sensors and the crank is reluctor but the cam is hall also what is the tooth count on the cam is it just a high/low setup where half the cycle there is a lobe and the other half there is no lobe if you can post up or email your pcl file it would help as well Regards David [email protected] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffan W-O Posted August 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi again Booth sensors are relucotrs and the cam has one tooth passing the sensor every two revolution on the cracnkshaft. The pcl is on another computer but I'll try posting it up later today. Thanks for the quick response. Regards / Staffan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Staffan It would be worth checking that the trigger two input goes to the correct location on the header. We had one batch of looms assembled incorrectly. Also watch your arming voltages in the trigger set up. THese should start at around 0.5 and ramp up to 4 .
