New Activation Options for Custom Fail-safe and Startup Maps
Fail-safe map: Select the “Map is initially inactive” option and configure the map to activate in the error condition. Once triggered, the fail-safe map will remain active until the engine is stopped. This could be a map with drop in fuel pressure relative to engine speed, which could save an engine from total destruction and an expensive re-build.
Startup map: Select the “Map is initially active” option and then configure the map to deactivate when a certain condition is reached. Once deactivated, the map will not re-activate until the engine is stopped. This could be a cold start correction that is only active until a certain temperature is reached.
New Output Channels for Custom Maps
-
Accelerator Pedal
-
Direct Injector and Port Injector Firing Angle
New output channels allow even more configuration options. The accelerator pedal output can be used to create a throttle based traction control strategy. With the addition of ignition retard and steering angle inputs for further wheel slip control, you can see that Custom Maps offers a much improved and more flexible traction control than the stock factory system.
