    Question Idiots guide to changing injector codes and saving them using nanocom to ecu

    2000 td5,5 speed discovery
    in a previous post I stated that my injector codes do not match those shown on my new nanocom. The vehicle runs and starts well , being anal i would like it all to match. Now i'm first to admit that i'm a monkey see monkey do type of guy. I have read several dozen posts on changing codes. I have inputted codes on the nanocom but have no idea how to remove and replace the old ones. It just reverts back to original (Not my Codes) . Does someone have a how to guide. I can pay someone to do it , but that would be counter productive to buying the Nanocom as i started my TD5 adventure.

    Probably worth reading/using some of the BBS info.
    This little box will get you into strife if you dont do some reading first. BBS have many pages of info and downloads for you to read and a some you tube vids.

    INJECTORS – THROTTLES· Injector Grades 1 to 5:
    This is a 5 digit value which tells the TD5 ECU what grades have beenassigned to each injector when it was tested at the factory after manufacture.The TD5 ECU then uses these values to compensate the fuelling in direct relation to thetolerances of the injectors fitted to each cylinder.
    The first two digits are an offset for theLUCAS TD5 (LAND ROVER)-Diagnostic Capabilities (Clear Fault Codes)LUCAS TD5 (LAND ROVER)-Diagnostic Capabilities (Settings)start of injection from nominal within the range of plus or minus .000127 seconds, thesecond two digits are the same as the first but for the end of injection and the last digit is ameasured variance in idle performance.
    If the Injector grades are lost or unknown it is possible to read them directly from theinjectors themselves as the letters are stamped on the top face of their aluminium cover.
    However, to access the injectors, it is required to first remove the cam cover. When a codeis read from an injector it is actually 5 letters you will get, but due to a change in the letterscheme used on later vehicles, for the last letter which actually has overlapping numericalvalues, we have chosen to show the real numerical value stored in the TD5 ECU to give our users the ability to program correctly in both schemes.
    The valid values for the first digit are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M and N.
    The valid values for the second digit are: B, C, D, E, F, G, H, L, M and N.The valid values for the third digit are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, L, M and N.
    The valid values for the fourth digit are: B, C, D, E, F, G, H, L, M and N.Please be aware that the value you read with the Vehicle Server and then display is the actual numerical value which is stored in the ECU.
    To translate the Alpha code value into the correct numerical value the following conversioncan be used:For scheme 1 (earlier-the early ECU would not store a value higher then 3)A = 0 or 3B = 1C = 2It should be noted that with our system it is possible to enter a value of 3 in the fifthposition. Whilst this is possible other test equipment will not be able to accept this and inthis case the character A will be displayed.For scheme 2 (later)E = 1F = 2G = 3H = 4J = 5K = 6L = 7M = 8 or 0Anything greater than 8 is not a valid value.Again it is possible to have a value, this time of 0, which other test equipment will not beable to accept. In this instance the character M will be displayed.

    Nanocom1 MSB ECU
    5.2.8 WRITE SETTING FUNCTIONThis function allow to write the setting in the ECUs.The only setting that can be written in a ECU are the injectors code and the number of accelerator tracks.To activate this function you have to click the button “Read setting”. In the input-output area are showed the availablesettings.You can edit them manually, load them from a file stored in the computer or from a file stored in the NANOCOM.In the first case you have just to click on the injector code that you want edit, and a small window will appear on thescreen.To edit the code you have to enter the data on the edit boxes and then close the wondow. The new value will be loadedon the injector code that you clicked before. To set the number of accelerator potentiometer traks you have just to clickon the check box.If you want load the settings from a file stored on the computer you have to click the “Get setting file from PC” button,choose the file from the brouser and open it. The settings will be loaded and showed on the screen.You can also load the setting from a file stored in the NANOCOM. Clicking on the button “Get setting file fromNANOCOM”, will appear a window that shows the available file,You have to select a file from the list, then close the wondow with the “OK” button. The value contained in the file willbe loaded and showed on the screen.Once you edit or load the values that you want, you can activate the writing function by clicking the “Write setting onthe ECU” button. If the communication starts the LED flashs as described in the section 4.1.2, and if the function workproperly a message box will indicate the good result of the function.

    With the settings on d2 modules you make the settings changes you require then use the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to move to the last page of the settings section, which should have a "write" button on it. This writes the altered setting back to the ECU's non-volatile memory. Until the moment you hit "write" the changes are only held on the Nanocom and nothing is done on the ECU.

    cheers

    perhaps this is the missing link I have been Looking for.

    Just revisiting this thread...and before I bother removing cam cover to confirm injector codes, wanted to check a few things.

    I've got a 99 Td5 10P motor with a TRS-modified MSB ECU. My Nanocom tells me that the ECU has recorded all injectors as having the same last letter apart from one of them...is this ok? On other ECU readouts I've seen, all injectors have the same last letter.

    The other weird thing that happened is that when I saved my injector codes to file, the saved file has changed the last letter of all injector codes???

    I'm thinking it may be best to actually read the code off the injectors so that I can correctly code the new MSB ECU I have (Storm tune).

    Also, I can't start the motor on the new ECU so I assume I have to use my Nanocom to set alarm details?

    Thanks

    You’ll be able to write them back just fine.

    And yes, learn security is needed.
