Bench top Engine Simulator for the P01/P59 Pcm

They go by many names, P01, P10, P12, P59, E38, VPW, '0411 etc.

Did you try disabling all of the trouble codes? I'd expect that to free up some CPU power, but I have no idea how much.

Thanks for the tip about the ECU simulator.
I can give it a whirl and see. This was the traditional '603 OS with DBW and auto trans disabled. The trouble codes I didn't think about outside of the normal stuff we disable.

I remember back in the heyday of these PCM's someone on the EFILive page touting the ability to go above 8200rpm with the stock PCM. I don't know what they did to make that happen, but it almost has to be something to relieve the processor.

What does it take to make a P01/P59 think it's happily running an engine on the bench??

This post will get edited for the next searching soul as things move along on this endeavor.

Clock frequency variation if worth being aware of, and I planned to use the arduino serial interface from a PC to change RPM to avoid analog noise wildly swinging RPM and causing errors. If I remember right, the PiPico's clock should allow for up to 14,000 RPM signal, and down past idle speeds, like 40 RPM or something. I had some help making it, since I always struggle to remember exact syntax. You'll likely need something to step the voltage up from 3.3 to 12. I planned to use a TC4452v. Would be easy to adapt to a 4x crank and likely others.

I disabled all DTCs, but I doubt that was necessary.

Pretty sure that was SQP here in Perth. I would hazard a guess the rev limiter was somehow removed entirely since 16 bit byte limiter is still 8192.

12799 RPM is number I see, FFFF in hex. Depending on clock scaling and other math, the exact hex number can be made to not matter.

The more rpm limit the less teeth should be trigger wheel
Sensor also has its frequency limit

I used part number 12595966 with a 10k pull-up resistor.

Tested my new oscilloscope on the signal it outputs.

What app are you using in that screenshot? It's not one that I'm familiar with, so I'm curious...
Please don't PM me with technical questions - start a thread instead, and send me a link to it. That way I can answer in public, and help other people who have the same question. Thanks!
