Graham Rudd Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 I was out in the soop last night, on the way to a friends house and decided to have a quick blast to liven the journey up. Coming off a sharp bend I nailed the throttle only to have the backend decide it wanted to see where we were going! After the initial panic attack I managed to maintain at least some semblance of control and keep the car on the road. Hmmm.. surely this can't be, I have traction control for God's sake! I'm supposed to be invunerable! After a quick experiment on another empty corner I could safely say that something was up with the TC. Well, I got to my mates house and told of my scary experience to which he just replied, "Yeah, some of the guys on the 300 board have had the same thing, they had to re-calibrate or something.". (yep, he's a 300 owner). I've just been out and checked my calibration.. oh dear. It seems my driven and reference wheels had switched places, oh and sides, left had become right. I did a quick calibration run and now everything seems fine again. Question is for how long!? Anway, I thought this was worth mentioning to the group, if ever your TC seems to be acting strangely then this might be the answer. Well, its a gorgeous day outside, a fantastic day for going for a blast, or washing the beast.... so I'm off to work *sob* Have a nice weekend all!

ttsupra97 Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Woah scary! Had any of your other settings reset/changed or was it just the wheel settings? I might make it a habbit of checking my values regularly, maybe every time I wash my car or something. I want to be able to build some kind of confidence in this unit. Cheers, Tony.

GavinL Posted February 17, 2002 Share Posted February 17, 2002 Hi... I have had mine fitted for nearly two years with no problems. However someone should raise it with Racelogic they might know the reason why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Wall Posted February 18, 2002 Share Posted February 18, 2002 This sounds very disturbing, I have had no problems. You should talk to RaceLogic, Graham. May be you have a faulty unit. It would be helpful to know from the 300 guys, if there are any known common factors that may have led to this situation. We need to know from RL if this is a known problem, before someone gets hurt. Can I just confirm that the calibration run only lets the system know which wheel is which. It serves no other purpose. If so once you know your channel and wheel relationships you can use Graham's app to reset values. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
