Wrong speed indicated in Tunepro.

Post by jon »

After spending quite a bit of time understanding tunepro and making adjustments to the tune I am happy to say my modified 5 L is purring like a kitten as long as it idling :thumbup:
I moved onto the next stage and took the car for a drive to log some data and apart from stopping a couple of times to richen up the VE table everything went well.
When I got back home and re played the log file I noticed the speed indicated in the log was way off the mark. I got up to about 70km/h at one stage and the log in tunepro only said I got to 8km/h??
The car is a series 1 VN calais but used to be a V6. I dropped a 5L V8 from a series 2 VN in it and apart from a couple of plugs different near the computer everything dropped straight in.
The car is fitted with a Jaycar kit to correct the speedo as it has 3.7LSD in it. The speedo itself works perfectly and is very accurate.
I am guessing that if the log from tunepro is wrong then the ecu is getting the wrong speed input?
This normally wouldnt be a problem as it is not logging any fault codes that I know of but if the ecu is not reading the right speed then the torque converter will never lock??
This is a feature I would really love as the stall converter is 3500 and torque converter lockup will drop the rpm's a little on the highway.
Could the jaycar kit be causing problems to the ecu or could I be missing something else?
Thanks, Jon

by the sounds of it your pulses per kilometer are out the standard pulses per k are 1250.05 for a 3.08 ratio diff but seeing as you have a 3.7 it should be 1501.00 pulses per kilometer id start by checking that

is the speed input hooked upto the ecu? diff should not affect the reading that much

if its ose $12P code it might have the VR numbers in the PPK 6000 or something ...

The jaycar kit breaks into the signal wire not far from the sensor and before the dash. I havent got a wiring diagram in front of me but I thought the ecu gets its signal from the dash? The dash is showing the correct speed (checked with GPS).
The only thing I could think of is the output waveform from the jaycar kit the ecu is not happy with? But then I thought the dash itself has a divider circuit to reduce the pulse rate?
Its been a while since I have played with that part of it. Was wondering if someone else has had a similar issue

yea i had the same problem when i converted my stato over to 12p had the vr pulses in it. i missed the jaycar kit in it though so standard pulses 1250.05 should be right

Just a quick update on this topic. I changed the pulses to 1250 and the speed displayed in TP is perfect. Thanks so much for the help! :thumbup:
