Default Re: Yellow RJ45 Connector & 4 way power connector

My replies in green...

- All the green leds on the HFS-6 controller should be
lit with the exception of the green connector.
FAIL. RED CONNECTOR, F-IDC, THRES NOT LIT
Richard: This statement is referring to the green leds on the RJ connectors. Not the red led on the controller board.
Update: The green led on the red harness on newer HFS-6 monitors the flow sensor's turbine movement.

Steve: OK so should the red socket led be lit green? If so, this fails. In the TST test both the red and green led light up on the red socket.
Richard: The green led of the red socket can either be lit or not-lit depends on the orientation of the turbine wheel inside the flow sensor at idle state. But if there is fluid flowing through this green led will flash in time with the rotation speed of the turbine wheel. The instruction may not have explained this. So we move on the other led.
Yellow led on the red connector: This led only lights up when the controller sends out a PWM pulse to the FCM. It should be lit on the "TST" tst. But do not leave the FCM on the "TST" state for more than 10 seconds at a time to avoid over-heating the FCM. Anyway it appeared to be working correctly.


3. Start the engine and let it idle for a minute or so:
- The green led on the controller should flicker
FAIL. RED CONNECTOR, F-IDC, THRES NOT LIT AND NONE FLICKER
Richard: Not until the green wire is detecting the fuel injector IDC properly, it will not flicker. Tell me how go went about connecting this wire to the fuel injector (-).
Steve: Basically connected to the "other" injector connector (i.e. the one which fails the continuity test between injector leads).
Richard: lets do it another way to find the correct injector(-) wire in real time. Connect the red wire of the yellow connect to a known +12V to allow the system to power up.
1. Engine running. Manual test the green wire by ground it momentarily (simulate 100% fuel injection). All the leds on the controller board will light up. the yellow led on the yellow socket shoudlalso light up.
2. If successful, connect the green wire to one of the fuel injector wire. Observe the green led on the controller board, it should flicker in time with engine speed if the correct injector wire is linked.


!!! Lets stop at this stage will only move on when the above is successful




- The yellow led on the “green” and “yellow” RJ Connector
socket should flicker.
FAIL. LIGHTS ON , BUT NO FLICKER
Only the yellow led should flicker, green should be solid. This is further proof that the IDC is not read properly if the yellow led does not lit up of flicker. Test the green wire of the yellow RJ connector by grounding it momentarily. You should see those two yellow leds light up.
Can you clarify which "those two yellow leds are"? on the board?
UPDATE: Sorry helps if u read the question - I understand which two leds - I will test this but they do light up in the test. Neither flicker though.

- Flicker should speed up with engine speed.
FAIL. LIGHTS ON , BUT NO FLICKER
The green led on the yellow RJ conenctor socket should be a solid green.

Can you clarfiy wether the yellow socket or the green socket led should be static and which should flicker?

From above
Only the yellow led should flicker, green should be solid.
The green led on the yellow RJ conenctor socket should be a solid green


In the test, both illuminate but neither flicker..

What about the led lights on the board which should light up on this test?.

All running sweetly. Managed to find a good ecu pin out (3/27 - black / grey) if anyone else needs it for IDC. Don't have the MAP sensor feed but not serious for S/C linear boost...

So system running but now needs to be tuned!

Also I am trying alternate injector points... One ahead of IC and one after ... Will see which provides best results.. Btw only using water... But might switch to a decent washer fluid mix (if I can find one in the UK) since I am using the oem water reservoir...

Thx for the help !

Thanks for the update, good to know the system is up and running. Who tunes your car?

You can always add some methanol onto your screen mix. Methanol is freely available at your local pharmacy or chemical supplier.

Any change of a few picture of the install? I will be posting the wiring diagram up on the wiring forum soon.

I have almost done the diagram but I am unable to verify which pin of the ECU is connected to the "blue and red" wire (1.5mm2) wire gauge. The diagram you supplied has the left side cut off. I know is pin 9 but could be anyone of the 5 connectors.

I cannot find it .... I had a good look but could not see this wire... Ill have another gander soon.

The install is pretty much all stealth... you basically cannot see anything except additional nylon hoses running along the washer lines.

The Pump is where the Intercooler water pump was since I have moved the intercooler pump to the trunk where I have a dedicated larger reservoir and larger pump. The pump fits very snug although the mounting bracket for the I/C pump requires some modification but nothing major.

I installed two 0.8mm jets, one on the exit of the S/C just ahead of the I/C , and the second after the I/C ahead of the IAT sensor , and kind of opposite the MAP sensor. Ill play with the two locations to see which gives me better overall cooling. Also, at the moment I have no flow restrictor inserted yet.... and might only add one if I run both jets in tandem.

I have the IDC set very low at this stage so the spray comes on only when I am really on the power, and I will slowly bring this down and see how it affects things.

The washer tank is pretty large (around 7l), so I have a good level of capacity relative to the tank size of 80l. The one issue is there is an engine coolant line which runs through the water reservoir to prevent icing up etc. I am not sure how well meth being added in here would work .. or how safe it would be. Perhaps in a 25:75 ratio it ought to be ok.

I still have not added the MAP sensor and not sure I should since the boost is so linear on the S/C.

So all in all install is done and now its just down to see what can be achieved on the tuning side. I have had a torrid time with my data logger, and need to take some lessons before I use it again as it infuriatingly decides to overwrite data files I need. So I have no idea what is happening to my IATs when the W/I is running and when it is not.

Any thoughts about adding meth to the washer bottle? And then washing your screens with it!!!

P.S. I have a question regarding when you run W/I for the first time I assume allot of the oilly gunk in the I/C core and the inlet pipes from the breather hoses are washed downstream through the motor. I assume this will do no damage, but would this potentially clog up the cats or would this oil burn off/away during the combustion? Reasn I ask is one a recent WOT run wth W/I off and having run the W/I before briefly, I picked up an exhaust leak and suspect I was building up too much backpressure..... anything else to consider?

HI Richard,

Was tidying up my install lately and removed the 12v +ve red lead from the yellow connector to the +ve of one of the injectors. Recently I have been getting misfire on cyl 5&7 when the system is active - could the HFS be interfering with ignition / ecu?

I know there is an alternative location for the +ve red cable (yellow connector) to a red and blue wire - but I cannot locate it!!!

Can I connect the red (Yellow connector) wire to a manully switched 12v source? What does this +ve do that does not allow it to be switched to the 12v acc on switch?

Any help appreciated?

Regards

You can relocate the red wire to a +12V whereit can only be active at the pre-crank position.

The red wire on the yellow connector ensure the system can only injection when there is presence of a 12V signal.

OK so this is acc on position (key pos 2)... assuming key at pos 1 does not activate acc circuits?

EDIT : Found location 5-9 on the ecu pin out that is red and blue, has 1.2 volt with car off and ignition at pos I and 12v at precrank - is this OK?

Also do you know from the ecu pin outs which is the MAP / boost sensor feed? Thinking of adding this in as additional dimension.
