Re: Hi

I am trying to test the DDE-CAS wake up line.
Do you know what communication protocol that line uses ? Are you using a Picoscope ?

Have you tried leaving it set to "AUTO"

Re: Waveform wanted: Faulty diesel injector

Mike That is a Big Ask ! I have, and for my sins, always have had diesel vehicles around me with Injector faults. Diesel injectors, unlike conventional petrol counterparts are Indirectly fired making it somewhat more difficult to use current draw as an indicator or an insight to how the mechanical c...

Re: pressure transducer sensor

Not thought about USB for powering sensors, we've used car voltage and 5v boards to provide stable power, but that's a nifty idea I make good use of the little Cigar Lighter to USB convertors Capture 5v USB.JPG Not only for testing sensors but powering up MAP sensors I use as pressure/ vacuum trans...

Re: Exhaust Pressure Analysis

Volrem Good Morning. Yes this does have a DPF & I was measuring at the tailpipe. I like the idea of connecting at the DPF Pressure sensor - can be a lot easier and less messy :D Adding CKP & Injector Current is something that I will do when I get some time and then post the file. I will take some be...

Exhaust Pressure Analysis

I have a Nissan Primastar Van (Same as Traffic And Vivaro) with the M9R 2.0 Engine. It throws a Misfire Code (P304) as soon as it is started. I've done a Relative Compression test & For sure it is a bad Injector, the drama I have at the moment is getting the old out, for that I will need to call in ...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

I don't know if KTS lets you to choose injector class but worth checking if coded class is the same as injectors installed. I am assuming that you refer to "Injector Coding" the "Calibration Code" Printed on the top of the Injector ? KTS doesn't have that function but I do have access to other tool...

Re: Volvo S40 2005 D4204T P0341

OK so firing order is 1-3-4-2 and I can see a pattern of #3 cylinder problem. It's not constant but is repeating. Suspecting injector issue. EDIT: I would swap #3 injector with some other and check if it moves to different cylinder. First, as you know from the Serial & Vin Numbers I sent you, this ...

Re: pressure transducer sensor

Andrew Having a lathe etc. in house is a real help and advantage. The ability to make the things just the way YOU like them :D . The 500 bar Transducer (that you are waiting for) will be fine for "Petrol Direct Injection" Fuel Pressure Measurements but NOT for Common Rail Diesel (Above Cranking & Id...

Re: pressure transducer sensor

I too started with a MAP sensor mocked up to work with a scope then bought a Fluke PV350 (to save some money) some years ago and use it to this day. I don't know how good or bad it is in comparison to the WPS - not had that pleasure. I can tell you that adapting it to my compression testers, coolant...

Re: Ford Ranger 4.0 v6 DIS primary current

Capture -bad CKP.JPG
Psdata file with the sensor in its original (faltering) position from start up to cut out, with pedal position if easy enough to get would have been interesting to look at.
