Unable to scale TPS?

Post by Twisted-X »

I haven't scaled the TPS yet, and tried to do so today but couldn't because it was grayed out. I had the key turned forward to just before start, the fuel pump kicked on, and the laptop said it was connected. I opened the parameters window, clicked on Knock/TPS, and in the "scale TPS" box the "Read" buttons are grayed out. I can change the values manually, but it won't read.

Sorry, don't have the Serial # off the top 'o my head.
Kmanager ver 1.4.0.0
No datalog yet.

Do I need to have the ECU in Open Loop to scale the TPS?

TIA

Why do you want to scale it, is it a non-Honda part? As long as the pot is linear and the ends connected to ground and +5V, it'll be fine as-is, no scaling necessary.

I'm just getting a little bucking when barely off/on the throttle and driving downhill. I read through some threads here and someone said they calibrated the TPS and it fixed the problem, so I thought I'd try it. I didn't do a datalog because I forgot to set the ECU to do it, and I'm not comfortable messing with my laptop while I'm driving.

I'm using the stock TPS.

Just start the datalog when you start the car, go drive for a few minutes, come back, and then stop the datalog ;)

Datalogs should be done in open loop, correct?
Also, is there a setting to tell the ECU to go to open loop at, say, WOT?

Thanks again.

For a TPS datalog it doesn't matter if it's open loop. Open loop datalogging is only necessary when you're tuning your fuel maps.

And the ECU will switch to open loop at WOT normally - it does it above a certain load, configurable in the closed loop tab.

you need to click the lightning bolt to start live logging to be able to scale the tps (no need to record).

and you should always scale the tps. even on stock cars, I haven't seen one perfectly set w/o calibrating it.

You must also have your calibration open in the software when datalogging in order to calibrate the TPS.

QFT. I had to scale my stock one from 2 to 104 or something to that effect. This one - OEM replacement - requires 1 to 103.
