RLTC settings after battery disconnection

[ttsupra97]

Hi all,

 

I haven't worked on the car for a while now, but had to do some wiring over the weekend, so I unhooked the battery as per usual before doing the work.  The only thing is, now when I push the car, the RLTC kicks in in a very severe fashion and I after that my ABS light stayed illuminated, along with the standard warning light on the dash (until I turn of the ignition of course, after I restart the car, both warning indicators are gone).  When I turned the RL in the off position and push the car, no ill effects are experienced.  I hadn't had chance yet to check whether RL has retained it's settings, but does anyone know what state the RL will be in after a loss of power?  Would it be necessary for me to re-upload my settings file then recalibrate in this situation??

 

Thanks!

Tony.

As far as I know a RLTC unit has not lost its settings after a long power down period.   The  unit comes from RL with a dat file in the  memory and is often without power for weeks before fitting to cars.  So you should be fine.  If you send me a copy of your file I can check it, for you.

Sounds like your RL unit is kicking in so severly because its getting garbage wheel speed data from the ABS sensors (hence the warning light).

 

Mine did this for a while, it turned out to be my ABS relay. I switched it for the stock traction control relay and hey presto! Problem gone.

 

I'm not saying this is definately your problem but it could with worth checking.
