Anyone familiar with TCI handheld controllers for auto?

[Schrade]

I cannot program the settings in any way (Setup Wizard, for default settings, Advanced Options, etc.).

If you're at all familiar with this controller, please have a look at this post in TCI Product Support Forum

I haven't traced the controller module wiring yet.

If out-linking is verboten, sorry - wipe it, if out of order.

Thanks here...

What is the controller actually supposed to do?

Changes TC lock up RPM, shift points low (and high) by TPS, shift engagement firmness, etc...

Setup Wizard bases operation on tire size, rear end gearing, does a TPS calibration for range, etc.

I had a vid of live data read, but the handheld screen doesn't show...

I see, well I've never had any experience w/ it, sorry. Hasn't "support" for the product gotten back to you.

If your getting comm error,i have found the 3 wires at the controller plug are crossed.i can't remember which one is wrong,i will have to look at the local auto Z's plug.

I will have to get back to you with this info.

Got the link (and saved) Dave; that's my control module -

Pete - I have begun the wiring trace, and found some crappy connections at a newly found device 'Dakota Digital SGI-5 C'. . I told those hacks that I wanted to COMPLETELY ANNOTATE MY FSM, and they won't give ANY RECEIPTS, PAPERWORK< OR SQUAT.

Anyway, this is what I found...



I'm hoping this is the source of the Comm Error, but I know that I HAVE TO trace all lines...

AND THANKS FOR THE FLEXPLATE TOO THERE, PETE!!!

Schrade,

Looks like real quality work. NOT! Is that supposed to provide a VSS signal?

[XfireZ51]

Yep. That's what it is.

Can't tell by pic but it looks like there's no sensor ground.
