DRIVER


10/2210

Select automac or manual mode from the top of the control panel.

The system is automacally defaulted to manual shi mode.

NEVER USE AUTOMATIC MODE IN THE VEHICLE UNLESS ON A ROLLING ROAD SETUP.

Use of this product in automac mode on a public highway may be hazardous.

Automac mode : The system will progress through the shi sequence test automacally

without regard to driving condions. (Recommended for dyno and

valve body machine usage)

Manual mode: the system will only progress through the gear sequence when the

GEAR UP/ GEAR DOWN buons are pressed.

HERE YOU CAN ENTER TEST

RECORD DATA.

E-

Zee Shi will generate areport based on this data. If

you do not require a report to

be generated, leave all of the

elds blank and click connue.

CAN BUS Ulies

Click the CAN Ulies buon on the home screen

To run a test on CAN Enabled Transmissions, the CAN data messages must be known. CAN

data can be found using the bus snier tab. If the CAN data is not displayed you may need

to click the toggle terminaon buon.

Enable CAN: Enables the CAN processor.

Disable CAN: disables the CAN Processor.

Toggle terminaon: toggles terminator resister on/o.

Reset: Resets the CAN BUS snier.

Record: Records CAN signals from the BUS.

Play: plays recorded can message..

Stop: stops playback of can message.

The above data is the data that the controller / Mechatronic unit is transming and receiving

via the BUS. This data should be saved for comparison for other units of a similar type. You cando this by entering the transmission name and clicking the create new buon.

BUS Snier


20/2220

The BUS data will usually show input and output sensor data, Temp sensor and range

switch data. Please note that not all vehicles will display the same data. You need to

manipulate the required sensors to locate relevant address and bit data on the bus.

How to read the BUS. The remote ID must be idened. This is the address of the

relevant node.

THE HEXEDECIMAL NUMBERING OF THE BUS BEGINS WITH BIT 0 ENDING WITH BIT 7(8 BITS IN TOTAL)

BIT 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

THROTTLE CLOSED THROTTLE 1/4

THROTTLE 3/4 THROTTLE FULL

THROTTLE CLOSED

Tutorial 1: Find the TPS CAN data.

Move the accelerator pedal from o to all the way on. Repeat this in a smooth fashion

whilst looking at the bus snier. You will noce that one of the data bits it responding to

the movement. The bit should start at 00 and move to FF when the pedal is down

pressed. The bit should then return to 00 as the pedal is released.

Below you can see the AUDI TPS sensor bit data responding to manipulaon. The Remote

ID address is 0x123. The relevant bit is bit 1


21/2221

Tutorial 2: Find input speed senor CAN data.

The easiest way to nd the sensors is with the transmission on a work bench. Trying to

nd the informaon when in the car is more dicult as there will be many more messages

on the BUS. Turn the input sha and look for the eected bit and remote ID.

You may noce that 2 of the bits are responding. You need to note the MSB

(most signicant bit) and LSB (Least signicant bit).

Repeat this process on the output speed sensor.

To nd the temperature sensor can data do the following.

Heat the temperature sensor with a warm air blower. Watch the bus snier and look for

the bit which is eected.

CAN Sengs

CLICK ON THE SETTINGS TAB

Select 500k for Baud rate with extended 29bit frame. (This is an industry standard for the

PowerTrain)

Now enter the acquired bit data for the input sha, output sha, temperature and TPS

sensor.

The message ID eld should be competed with the relevant message ID known as the

address.

The most eected bit should be applied to the MSB index led, (See TPS properes above)

Once the data has been entered into the relevant elds, it can be used to check and

conrm operaon using the Gauge TAB.

0x123


22/22

In most cases, such as with the TPS and the TEMP, you will only need to ll in the

Remote ID address and eected bit into the MSB. With the speed sensors, you may

need to enter the address and bit in the MSB and LSB. Because the speed sensors

cover a larger range (Speed) there is a need for another bit known as the LSB. This

allows the range of the sensor value to be increased. If you turn the shas fast

enough, you will see a second bit begin to move. This should be the LSB. Beforesaving the le, you will need to set the Value Pre Oset. This would be the RPM or

Speed indicated on the gauge. You might also have to increase the mulplier to get

the correct value on the Gauge. Default is 1 but a factor or 2 or 3 might be needed

depending upon applicaon.

If you expect to see an operaon such as the TPS and it is not working, please check

to see that you have entered the correct data in the sengs tab.

In the event that a sensor is not working, you should be able to substute the CAN

signal by selecng the write box in each sensor window. You will now be able to

drag the needle to induce a signal. This is parcularly useful when verifying signals

when in the car. It can also be used on a transmission or Valve body to inuence a

Mechatronic unit if ed.

It is important to know that not all vehicles or Mechatronic units are the same. You might

plug into a 6HP26 and collect the data. When you plug into another one, you might nd
