Auto Transmission Diagnostics

A few people have been asking about the Auto transmition diagnosics. Here is an extract from the ebook "The Sky Is The Limit" that may help. To Enter the auto transmission diagnostics mode

Have the car at normal temperature in Park with the overdrive on

Start the engine the power light will go out after 2 seconds

Turn the ignition off

Move the selector to Drive (you may have to use the push button release)

Overdrive off

Wait 2 seconds, and turn the ignition on

Wait 2 seconds and move the selector to 2

Overdrive on

Move the selector to 1

Overdrive Off

Press the accelerator fully and release

Auto transmission diagnostics codes

The error codes are flashed out using the Power light on the dashboard (R32) or the Power / Snow button (R33). The sequence starts with one long flash. If everything is OK, this will be followed by ten short flashes.

Errors are indicated by a long flash in the sequence of short flashes.

1st flash longer - Revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

2nd flash longer - Speed sensor shorted or disconnected

3rd flash longer - Throttle sensor shorted or disconnected

4th flash longer - Shift solenoid A shorted or disconnected

5th flash longer - Shift solenoid B shorted or disconnected

6th flash longer - Overrun clutch solenoid shorted or disconnected

7th flash longer - Lockup solenoid shorted or disconnected

8th flash longer - Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or the control unit power source is damaged

9th flash longer - Engine revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

10th flash longer - Line pressure solenoid shorted or disconnected

All flashes the same with no long start flash - Battery voltage low, has been recently disconnected or control unit has just been reconnected

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
