Question :How do I make a back up on chipfile in my ECU? Answer :Simple instructions for making a backup:1. Power up the ECU, plug in your mapping lead (which must be a proper mapping lead, NOT an RS232 extension lead).2. Open Easimap 5 programme, this should then identify your ECU and set a real-time […]
Question: Could you please confirm which input pin would be desired for a pull up or pull down 5v digital signal. Answer: The easiest way to confirm which pin is suitable is simply to plug into the ECU with the MBE985 USB/CAN interface (basic mapping equipment MBE-MAP-KIT-3-CAN). Easimap 6 will then automatically select the correct […]
Question: What is the relationship between Current Faults and Logged Faults in Easimap 6. Presumably a fault will disappear from Current Faults as soon as the condition is resolved, but does it then remain in Logged Faults? How long do they remain in Logged Faults for? And is there a way to clear or reset […]
Question :I would like to make some alterations to the standard map to improve cold starting (the car struggles to idle when cold). However, I’ve just realised that my laptop (being fairly current) doesn’t have a serial port. Is it possible to connect the ECU to a USB port (and if so can you supply […]
Question :How do we modify the fuel map? How do we send the modified map to the ECU and have the ECU run that map? How do we know the ECU is actually using the map we have modified? We are trying to do this statically before we run the engine because the map that […]
Question :I made changes across several maps and then chose “Transfer All Data”. The transfer seemed to work successfully, but now it appears that the reverse voltage TPS curve for this Cosworth engine has been lost. Prior to making the changes, TPS was at site 5.1 at idle. Now, it is showing site 14.9 at […]
Question :I have a CAN based MBE ECU and I was wondering if you hade a base map for a K8 GSXR 1000 Suzuki. Any help would be appreciated, just want enough to get it up and running to make sure the loom is ok? Answer :Within Easimap 6 there are 3 sample base maps […]
Question :How does the Async fuel factor come in to play, this is per throttle site and an exponentially curving slope. I am really tempted to play with this (increasing it) but wanted to check in with you first. Answer :The chances are your AFR will read lean. You do have to be a bit […]
Question :Do you have a manual for MBE ECUs? Answer :There is a Help file within Easimap to guide you through the basic parameters. With this information you can learn to manipulate all the maps within the ECU. All the maps are constructed in a similar way so once you have learnt how to manipulate […]
