    @Bill thanks for the suggestion, I will try the new settings. Just in the process of putting the trans/engine wiring loom back on. Should be able to test either today or tomorrow. 

    Let me know if that works. It’d be great to know if having them set the way you have them, it’ll cause the issues you’re having 

  2. I'm with Roland on this one, I'd like to see it tested first. I'm sure I've seen some of the blokes who've been doing Barra conversion wiring & PCM tuning for years say that when using a FG engine loom & BF PCM, the EOT sensor & wiring has to be added. If you try switching the EOT sensor off & getting VCT to work, let us know what you did.

    I assume you've checked the wiring near the connector & PCM itself. Also check the wiring loom hasn't rubbed through where it passes over the AC hard line near the PCM. It's a common place for engine wiring loom damage.

    Thanks Bill, I will reset back to 2.75, I disconnected the battery as I was planning on packing up for the night and then decided to go back out and this time using forscan the P1635 code is gone still only have 2 PCM DTC codes left P0701 Transmission Control System range/ performance & P1000 OBD System readiness test not completed. any suggestion would be awesome. Once again thanks for your help really appreciate it.

    I missed the 3.0 ratio. You should change the diff ratio's to from 2.73 to 3.0.

    The "Activate/Deactivate VID Block Parameters for Final Drive/Tire" etc parameter should only be changed to disable if the VID settings can't be changed to work.

    You won't get rid of the P1000 code until a complete drive cycle has been completed & all inputs required are recognised eg brake, throttle, gear changes etc, so ignore for now.

    The P0701 code, I usually recommend checking the wiring between PCM & TCM as a starting point. This will include removing the wiring connector at the TCM, cleaning & checking for damage to wiring, TCM pins, wiring pins pushed back out of the connector or being stretched & not making contact. It could be related to the reverse light issue mentioned earlier although, there's no mention of it now.

    No fuses blown unless there is one on the transmission internals on a circuit board somewhere.

    No internal fuses

    I updated the axle ratio's as per the above but now I am throwing a P1635 code for tire / axle ratio out of range

    updated as per below but still throws the code. do I also need to update auF1310

     

    You've made an error.....auF1706 is a VID block calibration override & wasn't mentioned above. VID block calibration overrides usually only work if the VID block is disabled, which is often unnecessary & may not be required in this instance because you're running the original modules & sensors & if you're running BF sized wheels & tyres.

    If you're not & can't adjust within the VID block, you may need to disable VID block & use the calibration overrides.

    auF1706 should be set back to stock....2.75 for now.

  5. Check all fuses if you haven't already & hope it's blown one & not damaged the TCM.

    As for datalogging wheel speed, you can add what's required to the standard logging template or create one specifically for doing this.

    If you use various searches under channels, you can usually fine the channels you're after.

    eg, search vs & you'll see vspeed come up under transmission....if you want to add it to the logging layout.
    wss finds wheel speed sensor.

  6. A5GF is a later release, replacing A5GE & the TCM strategy licenced is the correct match.

    I'd start by checking the reverse lights are working & then check wiring condition & connection at the transmission connector. Make sure it's clean, dry, wiring pins aren't stretched, pushing back out of the connector, broken wires & that none of the TCM pins are broken/missing or damaged.

    I found I had to use the BF RCM as the BA one threw a configuration fault despite only being on the ISO bus.

    I had to replace the BA dash in my old work ute because it was too brittle to be handled when replacing the heater core. I also found the wiring had been hacked too many times for an aftermarket radio, telstra lights on module, phone connection and other crap to warrant swapping it to the BF dash I already had in a wreck.

    I found I could use the BA RCM & BF dash together with a small wiring mod to fix the C1414 error "Incorrect Vehicle ID" fault for the RCM.

    Refer workshop manual section 501-20b-107 & also wiring diagrams. You'll see that the connection at pins 20 & 21 are different. There shouldn't be a wire going to RCM pin 21 at connector C189a but BF has one.
    The wire in BF pin 20 must be removed & can be taped up or completely removed when using the BA RCM.
    The wire at pin 21 gets moved to C189a pin 20.

    Only problem so far is a wire missing from the RCM to the Dash for an audible alarm, so I will have to track that down.

    Are you sure there's a wire missing? The audible signal indicator isn't meant to sound unless there's a fault with the cluster warning light & the system detects a fault. 

    Additional info if anyone is going to use a BF dash in BA without changing the RH engine bay harness, it will also keep blowing the wiper fuse if the RH engine bay wiring isn't swapped. The wiper park wiring is different at connector C158 kick panel. One wire from the dash PDB has an extra wiring branch that goes to connector C158.
    Remove or tape up the extra branch that goes to C158 park wire causing the short & re-pinned the (BO) park wire to the correct pin, which was pin 28a from memory.

    The context its used in implies clutch something something

    I found some info where CRC refers to Torque converter "clutch release clearance" (CRC). Clutch-Release Clearance 101 - Transmission Digest

    Changing the nominal slip time characteristics for upshifts and downshifts CRC, increases or decreases ms of slip time. I think @Puffwagon is on the right track as the time taken to apply the clutches would be a direct result of increasing or decreasing CRC nominal slip time. Increased time to apply will result in increased CRC for a longer duration, even though we are only talking ms. Decreasing CRC nominal slip time would result in a shorter time to apply the clutches & less slip time.

    Happy to have input or opinions on my interpretation.

    hey guys im in the process of switching from the zf6 to turbo 400 in a bf, and was hoping for some information on what i need to change to allow the car to run. im still using the auto pcm 

    thanks everyone

    Change to a manual strategy & modify the wiring loom. Same process as installing a C4. 

    If you're not great with wiring, contact Hootons Harnesses or one of the other Barra wiring specialists that've done it several times.

    Hey guys hope all is well, sorry to bring back an old topic but am currently in the position of sorting out my cruise control after the diff ratio change to 3.9s (6sp Manual). i have no issue turning on the cruise control just cant set it to speeds, ive played with the values a bit but to no prevail. is there a formula that we can follow to work out the amount that needs editing in these parameters or is it just keep editing and driving and find out what works? thanks in advance. 

    Have a read of Kirby's write up. It give's some channels to log & explains what to look for.
