Hello all, I got the software from Technoresearch.com to go through my system. After doing the TPS adjustment in the software, my TPS sensor only detects from 0 to 85. Is this a common issue with the software, or do I have a bad TPS? Thanks in advance. -Jason | ||

Jason, I saw exactly the same thing with my bike (01 X1 with race ecm) I wonder if others see the same Matt (Message edited by mbsween on July 15, 2005) | ||

yeah, I do have the Race ECM. I still have the stock somewhere, maybe I will put it in just to see what it does. anyone else? | ||
| Wceviper |
this is the ECM part that the software pulls. bueja120 b 31744-99y version 2.2 | ||
| Wceviper |
one more thing, After trying to reset the TPS, bike wont idle at all now. I am in a non ridable condition and the soonest a dealer can take the 10 minutes to reset my tps is 6 days away. arrggg! | ||
| Wceviper |
progress update; just plugged the stock ECM into the bike and I am getting the same exact problem....................................................... frustrated. | ||
| Wceviper |
another progress update. Just bought a new TPS, Didnt bother installing it on the bike, I just plugged it in and spun it by hand. Before and after Running the TPS test the new sensor will only read 0-85 Throttle Position. ........... | ||

ok.... So I dont like to read the manual that often. After getting frustrated I figured I would check the voltage ranges and test them. Turns out the TPS only goes 0-85. My problem is a super dry idle adjustment screw. So I am going to get some WD-40 now. I think what confused me the most is, when I had the power comander hooked up, it showed throttle range 0-100. -jason | ||

'Viper: How well does the software work (not counting the tps issue) I am seriously considering making the outlay of green so I would like your inputs (please) Which laptop are you using?(or are you using the palm?) Ryker77 was having problems to start with and ditched his efi ( may bite him in the future ) one thought are you also doing afv(reset)as well ? If you are doin that you need to take the bike out and go for a 15 minute ride high power output steady state (70 75 mph says my buell tech) In Wilmington NC its I40 west  on your last post were you reading the ecm tp value or the pc tp value 1-100%,? the pc 3 can be set 0 to 100% if i remember,if connected the input to the PC- also changes the input values for the ecm with the pc being in the circuit as it is an additional load .  | ||

The HD guys had a heck of a hard time doing the TPS reset on my X1. When they finally cleaned and oiled the thiingamajigs it went like clockwork. I runs like a clock too. Oil those moving parts to get a stable TPS reading and reset! Den | ||

ok, so everything went fine after I cleaned the idle adjustment. I no longer have the power commander on my bike, but when I did the TPS would report 0-100 in the power commander software. I never knew what the buell ecm was reporting. The Technoresearch software is great (Now that I figured it out). Its just a little deceptive on the TPS numbers and the range. The software could use a better manual and they should have an online forum local to there website for troubleshooting. Overall the bike is running great, I will get some freeway time with it today to fully adjust the computer. -Jason | ||

glad to hear its better! I sprung for the software and a few tools last night. Thanks for the input! Oh, since there are 8k or better efi Buells why not have the "forum" here posting in the KV under a specific heading with pc3 issues, efi issues, and pc interface issues. there are some sharp minds here(like yours) that could really help out | ||

Oil or lube what parts? The throttle hookup, the idle screw? Had a hard time with mine resetting too! | ||
| Wceviper |
Lube the throttle cables for sure, but also lube the idle adjustment screw. The heat from the engine just dries it out and makes it not want to screw in at all. | ||

Is this the same software that you can buy through americansportbike.com or through Dave??? | ||
| Wceviper |
This is the software I purchased from DaveS. | ||

'Viper. what manual did you get the 0-85 from, the Buell Manual? | ||
| Tramp |
did you guys get the memo about the cover sheets on their tps reports? | ||
| Oldog |
Matt: the fsm states 0 - 85% i bet any thing above the 85% is considered a short and creates a fault. Tramp What are you referring to?? | ||
| Wceviper |
yes, Service Manual states 0-85. And Yes, I got the memo about the tps reports right here, my mistake and it wont happen again! ps. Oldog, rent and watch "Office space" (The Movie). (Message edited by wceviper on July 20, 2005) | ||

'viper, guess I better reread the manual, I alays skipped that section as I didn't have a scanalyzer. Oh yeah, did you use the red stapler on the memo? | ||
| Wceviper |
4-16 in the service manual. Thats my stapler, And I still havent recieved a paycheck! | ||
| Sjh |
I am in need of a TPS reset and am curious to what is SHOULD cost at a dealer. | ||
| Deltacruiser |
It cost me about $45 or so. I don't recall for sure. | ||
| Daves |
should be 25-50.00 depending on the labor rates in your area | ||
| Tramp |
buellers- whaaaaaaat's happenin'? i'm going to have to go ahead aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnd ask you to... go ahead and put those cover sheets on your tps reports.... yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.... | ||
| Deltacruiser |
Tramp, you are cracking me up again. If I don't stop laughing my --- off while I'm supposed to be working, I'm gonna get called in to the boss' office for one of those Lumberg moments or better yet the efficiency consultants might want to have a meeting with me. Gotta love Office Space. A modern movie classic! | ||
