Thread: Nanocom - First uses and impressions

Did you have any fault codes???
Picking mine up tomorow.
Andrew

there were 4 andy... nothing that looked major and no noticable difference in drive..

i'll check later but it was something to do with a lamp, the glow plugs and something else i'll update this shortly!

as for the BCU module... its still coming soon had an email from them as follows

Hi,
The BCU will be added in the next release.The ABS system actualy stops if the engine is running.It will be available an adaptor to the yellow cable that will allow to keep the communication when the engine is running.I send to all customer an e-mail when this adaptor will be available.

Regards
Mattia

so there you go... i have asked for costs also on the adaptor..

enjoy Andy ... will update this shortly!

ok update

Had a play with mine,nice bit of equipment!!!!!
Havent got the unlock codes yet for the SLABs so no info on the 3 amigoes as yet.
Using it stand alone as my boy wouldnt help me with his laptop I got into it.It really impressed me how easy it is to use.
The engine ECU contained the following.
03-07 air flow circuit- current
07-07 EGR vacuum modulator short circuit-logged
09-05 turbo wastegate open-logged
09-06 EGR inlet throttle open load-logged
09-07 EGR modulator open load-logged
13-06 EGR inlet throttle short circuit-current
19-07 Noisy crank signal-logged
20-04 EGR valve stuck open-logged
20-05 EGR valve stuck closed-logged
22-01 Road speed missing-logged
31-01 Inj1 open circuit-logged
31-02 Inj2 open circuit-logged

After clearing the 2 following still appear
09-06 EGR throttle open load-logged
13-06 EGR inlet throttle short circuit-current.

From a testdrive Ive got a max Bar of 1.14(16.53 psi) at 2000 to 3000rpm,after 3000 in the gears it dropped to 1.00 bar(14.5psi) so the turbo is doing its job despite 3 studs not working and the gasket leaking.

The open injectors and noisy crank signal are an oil in the harness items,they couldnt delete them last time I had it wiped but thought they would go over time.
My EGR was gunked up and appeared to be not seating,it now has a the vac tube sealed,EGR to be removed this weekend.

Will list my SLABs faults when I get the unlock codes.

Just been playing more,thistime with SLABs.
THE 3 AMIGOES ARE BANISHED

LHR sensor output too low,intermit 001 times
22-05 RHF Sensor electrical failure,intermit,254 times(obviously the issue here)
22-07 LHF Sensor electrical failure,intermit,001 times
22-08 RHR Sensor electrical failure,intermit,002 times
24-06 LHR Sensor output,intermit,002 times.

Went for a test drive got the TC,ABS to work and did a hill with HDC. All working no return of the lights,re-scaned,no fault codes present.
I IS A HAPPY CHAPPY
Got a mate with a chipped 130 thats running the cooling fan constantly,will post his faults when I scan his ECU.
Andrew

Works ok in vehicle, man I need to drop those revs.

Tried connecting to my laptop and PC. Dosesn't see the Nanocom regardless of what USB port I use. If I go into Programs-Nanocom-Utilities-TD5 Graphic viewer I get a message 'Application failed as configuration incorrect, try reloading program. Done this a couple times on both computers without success. Maybe there is a bug in the CD they supplied?

When I get the Nanocom page up there is nothing on it apart from a com setting button, a ? button and a statement in the bottom left corner 'Nanocom not connected.
Any ideas before I pull my remaining hair out.

are they XP or higher???
Wont work om win98.

Both are XP

Didn't realise the box did not get power from the computer. ( I consulted the local computer nurd - Ben ) Turns out the camping Coleman fluro charger works perfectly. How handy is that.

Just downloaded all the fault codes onto the computer. With all the faults listed the Fender should not run. A mix of Logged and Current. Need to do some reading to see what it all means.

List them Graham,we may be able to help.
Oil in the harness could be the reason,when Southerns did mine last most of a huge list got blamed on oil in the harness which they said would eventually go away,it seems they did.The 2 injector faults and noisy crank signal are oil in the harness issues.
