M130 with Race Grade TC8/CAN problems

[hillguzzi]

I have a M130 with GPA package. On the CAN bus there is a Motec LTC and a Race Grade TC8 exhaust thermocouple module which is meant to emulate an E888 expander. Can anyone advise on settings in M1 tune? All I'm getting is CAN timeout messages for the thermocouples and for E888. The LTC works fine so I think my CAN bus is OK.

Hi,

Pending your TC8 is setup correctly to use setting 1, it should work straight out of the box as E888 > Can1 then set the thermocouples.

I've had no issue using my own personal TC8 on an m130GPR with C127+PDM30+LTC on the same network. Worst case, post your package file and I can compare it to my m130 one thats working.

Thanks, I would be grateful if you could take a look, bearing in mind it's still "work in progress"!
The TC8 is configured as Mode 1, base CAN ID is 0x0F4.

I just opened it and have noticed, your ECU is using 1.00.0005. that GPA Package can be upgraded to 1.10.0075 (There is probably a 1.11 update but not certain).

I would recommend doing this upgrade and retesting your issues they might be fixed without actually having to look too deep.

if you have any issues still, im happy to dive in again once you're updated! (you may need to request the license upgrade -free- from motec. Just send an email to support@motec.com.au with the serial number etc
