DBW problem / Pedal at -1%

Postby DynoDom on Fri Sep 23, 2022 10:26 pm

When following the procedure to calibrate the throttle pedal, the M150 shows -1 % (minus1) percent pedal position instead of exactly zero.

This triggers a fault and the servo is being disabled until the pedal value moves to 0 and positive values.

The calibration was done precisely following MoTec guidelines.


Any thoughts ?

Are you sure you have the matching 5V and 0V supplies for your Pedal Main and Tracking voltage source?
Do you have the ECU on a charger when you do the calibration, or a well charged battery?

Hello David

The ECU is powered by a lab- powersupply on the bench. Motor and wiring loom sitting next to it.

Are you referring to A B and C cirquits for matching Zero and 5 V ?

If it were me, I would be paying attention to the voltage from the main & tracking pedal sensors. Perhaps tweak the Main / Tracking Offsets if needed.

You could just use the Q key on the Main Offset when it's reading -1 to re=calibrate it.

If you would like someone to work with you remotely on this using TeamViewer, I can do that. Just send me an email - ferg@veracitydata.com and we can set it up. Where are you located?

Sorry I missed the last sentence of your reply. Yes, you have to use the matching 5V & 0V pins for each A B or C power supplies, and you have to select the correct reference for the Throttle Pedal Sensor Main Voltage Reference (and Tracking Voltage Reference).

Hello David

I will revisit my wiring diagram tomorrow and revert back here with data.

I am located in Switzerland.
Could you let me know about your pricing for online support?

Thank you in advance.

Hello friends

This issue was resolved by David Ferguson. Thank you David for the generously offered helping hand over teamviewer and your in-depth explanations.

Super guy!
