Warning Chimes

[DavidB]

Hi all,

Re 2000 Disco II TD5

With the help of a friend I succeeded in reprogramming a new key yesterday.

During the programming yesterday there was glitch and Valeo BCU Read Settings ended up showing a manual transmission/petrol engine and a USA car. There could have been other changes.

We have fixed what we thought had changed.

Since then I am getting 5 chimes when I turn key to position II. Also there is no flashing red immobilizer light any more.

Could someone please look at the attached picture. This is how the BCU is set up at the moment.

Any settings that should be changed, could someone let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.

Just checked mine and the only difference is the "Market" It should read Australia.

[DavidB]

Thanks strangy.

Yes noticed that. Have changed it and a few others. Still 5 chimes.

Change transit mode to set?

[DavidB]

Hi Panya,

Thanks for the reply.

Have changed Transit mode to Set, Seat belt warning and chime to timed.

Still same problem.

These are the settings that turns off the 6 chimes for the 'Seat belt warning sound'.

Just a small hint for those who has to hand the keys over to someone who is not familiar with a Td5 or diesel. I instruct them to turn key on till lights on instrument panel and then wait for the chimes to stop BEFORE starting vehicle. It gives the glow plugs a chance to warm up slightly before you start.

Thanks DavidB....checked Engine Faults at the same time. Noisey Crank angle sensor and open circuit on 4th injector. All current.

Looks like I have some work to do :cool:

[DavidB]

Thanks feral,

Will try changes as per your attachment.

Will let you know how they go.

Hi feral,

Tried your setup. Alarm chimes continuously.

Tried all changes regarding seat belt warning and sound. All result in continuous chimes.

Only other variance is Unlock option set to SPE (2 presses to open all doors). This gives some safety when my wife drives the car.

I have attached the latest Settings page.

This gives 6 chimes then they stop. Still a pain but better than continuous
chiming.

Will have to keep searching.

Thanks for your help.

Dave.

You have not changed the 'SEAT BELT WARNING SOUND' to FASTENED;)

I tested this before my first reply last night. I like the six chimes for the starting procedure and I usually have it set at 'TIMED'

I read the settings, changed Seat belt warning sound to FASTENED, write setting to BCU, unplugged Nanocom and tested start.....NO CHIMES :p

I then reset everything back to the way I like it and my chimes are back.

Just go in again and change it and see what happens.

[DavidB]

Hi feral,

Changed again. Still 6 chimes.

I am starting to wonder if output security settings need changing.

By the way. I changed all the settings to the same as yours with the exception of ACE.

Car chimed all the time.Even after starting. No glow plug showed and when you put it in gear the headlights came on.

Dave.

[feral]

You have just found the "Police Pack" headlights. Mine flash continuously when I put it in gear but there is a next setting which is for the Daytime Running Lights. I use mine with a switch so I can turn these off, if required. Just change back to 'Not Fitted' to turn these off permanently.

You have me intrigued about the chimes bit though. I may have to do some more testing to see where its all going wrong.

I am not the expert on Nanocom or the settings for the BCU. I am just using the process of elimination.

Maybe someone else can look at it.

[DavidB]

Hi feral,

Thanks for all your input so far.

I am also a novice when it comes to the Nanocom. Slowly learning.

I cannot get rid of the 6 chimes.

The attached file shows the only setup where the only problem is the chimes.

Any others create further problems.

I didn't mention previously that the previous owner put on a new bull bar, and as such there are no front fog lights.

You mentioned that you like the chimes. Do they turn off when you buckle the seat belt. Mine doesn't.

I will continue to experiment with different setups.

Dave.

Just a thought, have you got the latest version of software on your nanocom (v2.05)?

I had a similar experience with chimes when running an earlier version (v2.04 i think); after making a change to speed lock I found 'other' settings had mysteriously changed too causing chimes, took me ages to convince nanocom to accept the correct settings, everytime I read the settings I got a different answer; problem went away with v2.05.

maybe worth checking ?

Hi crosy999,

Thanks for the reply.

I have 2.05.

Will have to keep experimenting

Hi, thought I would get this thread going again because I am in some minor strife with the Nanocom.

I wanted to turn off SLS temporarily while I sort out a dead compressor, so I made the change in the Valeo BCU, but unfortunately the Nanocom quietly changed a few more things that I didn't ask for, like police mode, speedlock, spe, and all sorts of annoying chimes.:mad:

Anyway, I managed to set everything back the way it was because I stored a text file of the initial read settings, but I still have the 6 chimes on ign on, which will not go away no matter what.

Nanocom 1 with software v2.05. 2000 TD5 D2.

Did anyone ever sort this out? Do you have to hold your head in a certain way or put your hand in the air, or is there a secret chant you have to do???:D

Any clues appreciated, thanks,

Terry

See if you can find someone to update the firmware on the Nanocom for you. I had an updater but unfortunately sold it when I sold my One. I know a couple of other people had them and I'm sure will be happy to do the upgrade for you.

Failing that you should very seriously consider buying the updater hardware from BBS.

https://blackbox-solutions.com/shop/?code=NCOM27&from=NANOCOM%20EVOLUTION&item=NCOM27

The last version v2.08 firmware is significantly better than the pre-BBS versions and you will save yourself a lot of trouble in the long run.

Dad's D2a has just started the same thing.

He was checking his exhaust manifold studs, and accidentally knocked something, tripping the fuel cutout switch and setting off the hazard lights.

Reset the cutout, and all ok. ........... Except for the blasted 6 chimes on ignition.

Nanocom Evo shows no recorded faults. Except a "pump line 1 - monitor" flashes up for a second or two.

Front right wheel sensor gave a much higher reading that the others which were all equal.

Testing with the multimeter shows them all to be ok.

According to RAVE there are six things that can trigger warning chimes. SLABS/ABS will give three chimes.


Sound request number Sound functions Priority (1 = lowest, 6 = highest)
0 Off 1
1 Seat belt warning 6
2 Key-in warning 3
3 SLABS/ HDC warning 4
4 Transfer box in neutral warning 5
5 Lights on warning 2

Double check the settings and make sure they are OK.

Thanks Offtrack,
I will look into that.
I think I bought an updater of some sort from Mattia for the 05 update.
Can't remember where it is or if it can be used. It didn't look at all like the pic you linked to.
Cheers,

Terry,

there are a couple of leads in this thread:

http://www.aulro.com/afvb/electronic-diagnostic-systems/135001-nanocom-one-update-2-06-a.html

I'm sure there were a few others who either had a pickit2 they could use or bought the updater.

cheers

Seatbelt it is.
All fixed now.
I actually looked at those settings yesterday, and made some changes.......but they didn't write to the BCU, hence the chimes continued.

Cheers.

Thanks Paul,

Looks like I have the Picit2, so I am proceeding to upgrade the Nanocom.
The website mentions the pic needing to be reprogrammed, so I will need to find out about that from BBS.

Are you there Colin? can you advise?.

Thanks all for the help so far.:)

Cheers,

Well, all BCU problems are solved:)

I realised that I had to upgrade the Nano 1 to the latest 2.8 software, but the programmer I had was a pre BBS version, turns out not to be useable with the current BBS upgrade :mad:, so I bought the BBS programmer reasonable price considering that you get a couple more modules with v2.8.

After a small hiccup finding the upgrade software won't run on the old laptop running Win 2000 that I use for old programming software, the Nano 1 with upgrade was introduced to D2.
All is well and there is now a 'DISABLE' option for those pesky seat belt chimes, and the ecu write was as required with no sly unwanted changes done.
Credits should go to BBS, I think there would not be many companies prepared to support old obsolete equipment the way BBS do. Thanks Colin.:)
And thanks Paul for your input, I don't use the Nanocom a lot and didn't know there were upgrades after 2.5

Cheers,
Terry
