Newbie Playing with forscan & I have a problem
Posted: Tue Jul 09, 2019 5:34 pm
I recently brought a USB interface plug from Stewart and after watching the tutorial had a go at changing at changing my fuel tank volume as I will soon be getting a long range tank for my Everest. First try last week went well. I accessed the IPC module changed the tank volume and then changed it back. I kept doing the DTC resets as shown in Stewarts tutorial, but not really sure why I do this as other Tuts on on Youtube don't seem to do this? I presumed it was to check the functionality of the module and clear any codes generated by the rewriting of the parameters.
Well I just went for my first 500km shakedown run of the new car with the wife and what came up was that the navigation system would not take screen inputs from the passenger while driving, and the voice activation is really hopeless. Just got home a bit tired and thought I would change the APIM to allow inputs while the car was moving. I found the option in that module that said "allow audio and video inputs" and I presumed the video inputs was keystrokes from the video screen. I changed the option and wrote it. Then went to the DCM and did a reset.
I then though I would go back into the IPC module and practice again to change the tank volume. Practice makes perfect right? Anyway I went to the DTC tab and went to do a reset and got a yellow caution triangle with the following text Module initialization/relearn vehicle data. DTC P160A is set when the PCM/TCM detects and mismatch in configuration data (VIN, Tyre size, axle, radio.... etc)........
I have googled this error on the site and found someone who had it when they changed tyre size but there was no clue on how to fix it. If I cancel it just goes nowhere and I did say yes to relearn but after this still the same error.
I drove the car and everything is fine but its still not allowing keyboard inputs while moving so that failed if indeed I changed the correct parameter. But I seem to have rendered my Forscan program unable to be used. Have tried disconnecting Forscan and reconnecting. All the modules scan okay but I am getting an error "Module DCU has no DTU function" that I don't think I was getting before. As I am typing this issue onto the forum I am shaking with anxiety as i don't know what I have done or how to fix it. I thought I'd put my predicament on the forum hoping someone can help? I think I need phone a friend help because I am going around in circles. I have saved the original configuration of the car but i am unsure how to reload this? Anyone out there can help. I am in Brisbane on the Northside and vehicle is a new Biturbo Everest.
thanks
