well i replaced my black gauges in my dash with white ones. but now some are either not working or not accurate..( torque split-fine, fuel-fine, speedo out?, tacho-does what ever it wants?, oil pressure-not accurate, temp-not reading at all

i was very careful when changing but yeh clearly not enough, any 1 know how to fix or any 1 on here that lives in brisbane that can fix or know of some1 i can get to fix? any help would be great

Cheers,

Corey

did you just glue them over the top of your old dials? cause when i did it to a mates car, the one for the tacho was raised like a mm and so the tacho wouldnt work because it was rubbing up against the actual dials and couldn't move anywhere. so i had to file the needle back a little bit just near the bit where it turns and then it worked ok-ish. a week later, the colour shitted him so took them out

With those, don't you just open up your cluster, take off the needles, then stick these on? Nothing to do with the gauges themselves?

When I opened up my cluster (in the ke70), it was a pain the arse to get the needle back to the position it was in originally. You press the needle in to get it tight then it was just move too much. Giving you an inaccurate reading. Could your problem be similar to this or?

When you say that the tacho does whatever it wants, you mean it jumps around from one rev to the next? Not smooth?

i had same problem like a year ago, i tried gluing them in but, the tacho needle would get stuck on like 3 grand, then i got to 5 and a half it got stuck again. it gave me the shits cause no matter what i tried it always happened, so i just took them out and still got them a year later. oh well. and i dont think you should have to take needles off, they do slide over with a bit of force..

but filing the needle might work, might give that a try

hey there buddy... well i tried something like this a while back for my 32 ended up stuffing it up....

you must of bent the needles when u pulled them out. thats why there not working properly or not working at all....

another reason could be is that when u put the needles back in u pushed them in to far, that stops the needle from moving...

try adjusting the needles when the car is on and reving the engine to see if u can get the needle right

worst case scenario is you have to buy a new cluster.

hey, i never glued them in or put them over the original ones, i unscrewed the originals and screwed in the white ones. and what i mean by the tacho doing whatever it wants i mean that whilst driving it will bounce around and even off the tacho completely then back again and when the car is turned off the needle still sits on like a grand.

im also come to discover that my speedo is approx 10km out - if it says 70 im doing 60...

as said above the only thing i could think of was that i bent them.. i was extremely careful too... dammit..

i was just hopin there was someone that i can take it too and they just fix it... nothings easy..

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
