  1. I absolutely will do later today. Know that it’s about -5C here so I hope the poor bike isn’t too angry at being woken up. Ha ha. Back with you in a few hours. Thanks for letting me help as it will also push me to engage more proactively with the OBDScan tool and learn something.
    Best,

    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  2. Apologies for my ignorance but this is all I can get. Readings jumping between these values. Regardless of if I manipulate the throttle or whether the bikes running or not. Other readings don’t seem right either. Like coolant temp just sits at 78c even as the bike is warming up and the dash temp readout is rising.

  3. Sorry… images too big. Clearing the forum. Just a sec.

  5. Very sorry for my struggling to learn. But I’ll tell you the bike is 2016 PPE. So 1200DVT. Each of the 4 readings I’m getting for tps flash between two values. The low values are 2.0 to 4.5 ish and the high values are 25 to 40 ish.

  6. APS sensor track 1 flashes between 4.4971 and 160.7373. Track 2 flashes between 4.4971 and 20.7520. APS opening percentage also flashes two values but closer together. 79.9683 and 79.9927. All completely strange to me. I use diag tools on cars all the time, from stuff like BlueDriver apps to the full Toyota factory Techstream software. Never had this kind of wierdness before. Ha ha. Thanks for your patience.

  7. Is there something special I need to do to get the bike to stay in a sort of “ignition on, engine not running” state to get the OBDStar to read right? I don’t know how to do that on the ‘16 PPE. Again, sorry for my ignorance.

  8. @Hipine thank you so much for taking the time and making the effort.

    Firstly photo size. You’ll have to reduce it before uploading it, there should be an option in your phone to select original, large, medium, small and the phone will reduce the size. I think there’s a 2Mb/photo file size limit.

    Secondly, if you have the bike turned on, but not started, with the diagnostic tool attached, you should be able to scroll to the TPS voltage readings set out in my post above. They should be about 0.5v on track 1 and 4.5v on track 2.
    At this stage I just need to know the static values (don’t open the twist grip) for the TPS sensor and Adaptive TPS sensor readings.

    TIA
     
  9. Weird, clearly the high value can’t be 25-40v

    Likewise, 160v is just not feasible.

    Likewise 20.75v isn’t feasible.

    Again, weird.
    Opening reading should be 0% or as close as makes no difference, rising to 99-100% as the twist grip is opened.

    All very strange.
     
  10. Yeah. Exactly as I’d thought. Okay. I’m not crazy then. Sorry I’m not able to help more quickly and directly. I will keep at trying to get it sorted here ASAP
     
  11. Thank you very much :upyeah: but, please, in your own time.
