PM'd!

 

[Matteh]

what info have you got Schweppy?

I know the pin number but that's about it

 

[elmo2002]

any help at all? anyone?

 

[Matteh]

pin 65 on the ecu

but I can't find any mention of it on the dash wiring

also, it's not an on/off signal, the voltage will just change a slight amount

 

[elmo2002]

would you no how much it changed by? sorry to be a pain just stumped by it all

 

[Matteh]

not much

i only briefly tested it as i didnt fancy hitting the limiter when parked

seems to be around 2.5v... rising to 3ish?

I'll try and get a better result once i've wiring in my rev counter

Can anyone shed anymore light on this as the dash in my car needs to go back on but want this sorted. Schweppy? what info have you got?

Hi guys!

Who wants see the pictures that I have made during the process (only iPhone3 quality... sorry) follow this link to our Cliosport forum in Czech Republic: http://cliosport.cz/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=16&thread_id=612&pid=7124#post_7124

Im intrested in this as id like mine to work

 

[edde]

I've yet to understan d why people want one its not like its an optimum charge up light its just a warning your close to the limit.

 

[wocka]

Just cus its cool lol

 

[dave_rudabar]

It's not though, for the above reason.

 

[wocka]

Yeah i spose

I think it would be cool if you could link it to the rev limiter and have red, green, purple lighting and if the lights were linked to the three stage warm-up so red only when cold and you can get to purple when the engine is fully up to temperature.

Hi edde, yes I know that someone say this is shift light and someone say this is warning light..

But because Im not "donkey" and I don't use it for every time and gear ;-) it can help you, for example when you are on the track.. Yes it's normal to hear the engin, but sometimes you want push little bit more and this is the moment when the light will help you... it's better positioned than the standard shift/warning light and this mean easier to see and this mean you can respond quickly = shift up..
