TuneEcu, Free injection mapping and diagnostic for Caponord/Futura.

[crenninger]

If you can now confirm you have a valid map loaded, you should be able to connect to the bike ...from the 'Map Edit' window, select 'ECU' / 'Download'

WATCH OUT!

if you want to READ your ECU map, follow Moto-Abruzzo direction and the click

'Map Edit' window, select 'ECU' / 'Read Map'

if you click "download" it will take the map currently on your screen and LOAD it into your ECU!

I think you will have to wait until Catfish has tested TuneECU with his maps 1st before they will be released in this format.

We can convert the maps - but we won't... We'll wait on catfish for that.

Top man Crenninger!!!

Apologies to everyone for the cock-up on the post .... lesson one, don't get distracted by emails in the middle of writing a post!

Lesson two ... read the damn thing through before committing to the forum!

I've edited the post to correct it.

Sorry All!

The program will only provide full function if it is opened with a map before connection to the bike. I have no idea why. It may be that it needs to have the map populated for comparison. Just because you have a map loaded in the program, it has no effect on your ECU unless you download it.

I updated the 1st post with some Tips and tricks and openIssues/comments

Just wanted to leave a huge THANK YOU

you guys rock , great work , and dedication , and... i believe that using the donate button , will actually make me smille , strange...
On my way to find some cables on ebay

Fascinating stuff and great work guys! Now if only you could add additional sensors...the perfect storm! I have always thought the lack of a MAP sensor was a poor choice by Sagem.

Thanks,

I want free money too...
to bad I don't know how to make it...

We work with what we have, but at least it's free :-)...

any chance we can make it a sticky? I guess it's worth it.

When I hook up the TuneECU program, it takes a few seconds to ' convert ' over to where is does indeed pull up my map number, ECU serial, and even changes over to the Aprilia logos on the virtual tachometer.
( see upper left)

Look in the bottom right corner the flashing light red/orange/green and read the 1st post again section about tips/tricks.

TuneECU needs to connect first, it's not instant gratification yet, and will never be.

Why can it not then 'read' the map that it is already recognizing?

Just because, it's not that hard to load a map into the software before using it. TuneEdit is the same, common a few clicks aren't that bad for free stuff.

6.1 - The voltage indication in the bottom left corner seems to be 0.5 to 0.6V over the voltage at the battery

TuneBoy has also always shown my voltage as approx. 0.4v higher than a measured battery voltage.

...

The latest tunes are:

050428 if you don't have cat converters (bulges in the exhaust link pipes behind the heat shileds) - or

050429 if you do have cats.
...

050428 and 050429 are both for Caponords with cats & O2 sensor.

The difference is that 050428 REQUIRES the purge-control valve be connected to the ECU for the charcoal-canister & fuel-vapor recovery plumbing that USA & some other models came with.

See my map page for the details of all THREE current available maps from Aprilia.

Ah well, that's two cock-ups ..... time to sit on the naughty step for a year or two.

[ELMOSISU]

Very good info, guys....... I will give the 429 map a try as per your instructions.

BEFORE YOU DO, what do you have in your bike?

likely you have that one already.

Since its going to be 2-3 weeks before I can start testing TuneECU myself, it maybe Christmas before _I_ get these conversions available on my web pages.

I have no problem with a TuneECU-knowledgeable person converting my existing maps & making them available for TESTING PURPOSES ONLY at this time. Everyone just needs to realize that I have not used or converted any maps myself yet, so whatever you load into your Caponord did NOT come directly from me. This means that the file COULD be different from what I originally provided. Incorrect values in fuel or ignition maps can DESTROY YOUR MOTOR! Proceed with caution.

So, good luck & let us know how things go!

I could do... but who's a layer so they can tell me the proper language to put in my post before I provide the maps :-)))

catfish, ok with this?
