I have on occasion gotten it to connect with the engine running but it is rare and I don't have any particular steps when that happens - it just seems random. A few particulars:

-I've seen this with both 1.7.8 and 1.8.4 versions (only 2 I have tried)
-I am using V2.08.08 of the USB driver. I have never tried the earlier V2.08.02.
-When the connection fails, I get a dialog telling me to power cycle the bike. When I do that, the serial/USB port seems to hang since I need to unplug it from the PC to get TuneECU to respond again. Maybe the port will timeout but I haven't seen that happen yet.
-I have tried a variety of serial port speeds between 9600 and 921600 and flow control of none and xon/xoff without any difference noted other than 115k seems to connect faster when the engine is not running.

Any ideas to keep me from swinging my laptop around by its power cord?

It's a bit of an older laptop (Dell 600M) - are there some requirements with the interface that may have requirements beyond this laptop's ability?

thanks for any ideas...

When that dialog comes up try just closing it and leave the bike on and wait to see if it will make the connection.

I have even a older laptop a fujitsu siemens amilo a7640w from 2004, it's slow but it does it's job perfect none disconnects at all.
The settings i use are the same as mentioned in this topic and with the newest usb driver.
I'm running Xp sp3 but i used a limited as posible the updates from windows.
Because these only slow down the computer because there is a lot more stuf running on the back ground that i don't need.
Maybe you could try to reinstall every thing and slowly update windows step by step and see what happens?

I also tried it with an older laptop a compaq 710us but that one has still usb1.1 and that is a no go.

Check TuneEcu manual... to reset the TPS let it idle for 15min.

Verified this just to make sure Windows update hadn't slipped in V4.0 and I match your screenshot for .NET versions.

I believe I've done that (waiting a reasonable amount of time) but I'm going to give it a shot again today.

I have read on the Duke forum that some have disabled there antivirus software when trying to connect, and that has helped. I have never needed to do that so i can't say if it will.

Grinns: "Here is a side note, the air temp sensor wire can get routed funny when you put it all together. If you routed it and it is being pulled on it can idle high. I found out the hardway and had to reset everything agian as it was idling as you described. I saw in tuneecu that this sensor was going nuts. After rerouting the wire it worked fine."

Thanks Grinns. When you saw the sensor going nuts, I assume you mean that on the 'Diagnostics' page you saw the 'Temperature' tab on the left with crazy readings? Mine seems spot on.

Dusty: "Been a while since i messed with the software, I think the reset TPS is enabled after you download a map. Reset is done engine off.

Guess if you are using your same map, save it then redownload it to the ECU."

Thanks Dusty. I tried this this morning, but even after downloading the map I can't get the 'Reset TPS' option to become functional.

Has anyone been able to get the 'Reset TPS' function to work?

LC8John: "Check TuneEcu manual... to reset the TPS let it idle for 15min"

Thanks John. I see in the TuneECU manual that their only instruction is to do the 15 min idle trick (section 9.2). I've done that three times now with no joy.

Any suggestions?

Hi,

For KTM, in TuneECU there are no direct TPS Reset.

It is only the possibility for adaptation, the engine must 15 minutes to run in idle.

The TPS itself, must be corrected as described in the Service Manual.

BR, Tom

lc8john · 01-15-2011, 03:06 PM

BTW, any plans to make TuneEcu work in the 690 LC4 FI system?

Is planned, but there is still no announcement of when it will be so far and if it will work.

BR, Tom

Thanks Tom, and a big thanks to you and Alain for putting together TuneECU.

My TPS is set to .55v at full close and I'm still getting having the problems described above. I'm thinking I might have messed up something besides the TPS while I was playing around in the airbox - perhaps the air temp sensor like Grinns suggested.

???

Mine would say it was colder than it was... I routed it funny around my pre-filter and there was a lot of tension on the wire. It is defiantly worth checking.

I just missed out on the last of Powercells cables. Anyone recommend where else to get one?
