    $EE Code for electric water pump on AIR output

    Hi!

    I'm trying to patch $EE code to use AIR pump output to control electric water pump on an LT1.
    Here are parts of E-side disassembly that control the AIR pump:
    Code:
    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ;
    ; 0x531F some AIR Pump code (probably enable at startup ???) (part of hc11_irq_00) (executed when L0023 b0 is clear)

    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    So far I've managed to get it working most of the time, pump swithes on when engine is running and turns off when engine stalls, but sometimes it turns off while engine is running. It does not report that it's ON in EEHack, but I can still enable it using EEHack control and then the AIR ON flag is set.
    Here is my code patch:
    Code:
    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Maybe some of you may get me on the right track here, there must be something I don't see in the code that turns the AIR output OFF. Also, do you know what is in L0128 RAM address? I can't figure it out.

    I think the air pump is not good candidate for the patch. It will be over complicated and too long There are some unused pins like pin b9 to run the waterpump.
    It is software address is byte_1800 $01. You can use engine on flag byte_23 $80 for trigger, and add other stuff like ignition on or Coolant temperature corrections.

    Byte_128 is ad Ignition voltage.

    If you still have troubles I will compile a quick patch for you

    Thanks!

    So, the most basic solution would be to change this:
    Code:
    4935    CE 18 00            ldX    #$1800
    4938    12 2F 02 05         brset    l_002f_fts_2_stat_byte, #%00000010, @7
    493C    1D 00 01            bclr    0, X, #%00000001
    493F    20 03               jr    @8
    ;
    4941    1C 00 01        @7    bset    0, X, #%00000001
    to this:
    Code:
    4935    CE 18 00            ldX    #$1800
    4938    12 23 80 05         brset    L0023, #%10000000, @7
    493C    1D 00 01            bclr    0, X, #%00000001
    493F    20 03               jr    @8
    ;
    4941    1C 00 01        @7    bset    0, X, #%00000001
    And if I wanted some more functionality, then I'd insert a jump at 0x493C to additional subroutine in some unused space to test conditions to run pump w/o engine running.

    Could you point me to some free space I could safely use?

    You found very basic elegant solutions, since b9 is already set in the code.
    Just change at
    4939

    2f 02 to 23 80

    and wire the water pump relay to pin b9. For safety reason you can check polarity and functionality of the pin.
    As I can remember when the bit is set, the pin provide ground path for the relay.

    OK, so the subroutine would look like this:
    Code:
    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    ;
    ; Routine to enable Electric Water Pump when engine not running
    ;
    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    9000    1D 00 01            bclr    0, X, #%00000001       ; Disable WP (X already set to $1800)
    9003    B6 01 28            ldaA    L0128                  ; Load A/D Ignition Voltage
    9006    81 30               cmpA    #$30                   ; Compare to 48
    9008    23 0A               bls    @1                      ; Bra to return if Ign Voltage <= 4.8V (Ignition off)
    900A    B6 01 92            ldaA    l_0192_CoolTmp_fltrd_$f0    ; Load Coolant Temp
    900D    81 B9               cmpA    #$B9                   ; Compare temp to 99 deg C
    900F    23 03               bls    @1                      ; Bra to return if Temp <= threshold
    9011    1C 00 01            bset    0, X, #%00000001       ; Enable WP (X already set to $1800)
    9014    7E 49 44        @1  jmp     L4944
    ;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    And:
    Code:
    4935    CE 18 00            ldX    #$1800
    4938    12 23 80 05         brset   L0023, #%10000000, @7
    493C    7E 90 00            jmp     L9000 ; jump to new subroutine
    493F    20 03               jr    @8
    ;
    4941    1C 00 01        @7  bset    0, X, #%00000001
    Now I just need 23 bytes of program memory to add my subroutine. Kur4o, can you point me at some usable address?

    [EDIT] I've found E-side 0x9000 - 0x93FF marked as free memory in EEXtra.xdf, so I guess the subroutine goes to 0x9000 :)

    Half the bin is empty.
    You can start at the lower section to keep all patches nice and tide.
    I suggest to use F000-FF00 memory range.

    also use subroutine bd code.

    at 4935 put
    BD F0 00 20 0A

    at F0 00 write your subroutine and add the return instruction [39] at the end

    just curious, why do you want ECM control of the electric waterpump?

    and if so, why not just use the fuel pump relay to trigger a second relay if you only want it on when the engine is running? (although you'd get a prime cycle, that shouldn't be a big deal...)

    it's a cool project, just curious

    Because... why not? :)

    A feature to have the pump work on hot engine while it is off might get useful sometime.

    Did you ever consider PWM control and remove the thermostat? By remove, I mean disable it in the full open position or modify the pump to do the equivalent.

    Then, you'd cool more than just down to the thermostat closing temperature by running the pump with the engine off.

    I didn't think about it. Removing the thermostat is not a good idea, as the heat-up using the main circulation (through the radiator) would take much longer. The heater would also be less effective without it.
    The PWM control might be useful to shorten the warm-up time, and maybe to free up a fraction of horsepower lowering PWM at WOT momentarily, but not much more. The pump in the car I'm working on consumes only around 7 amps, so almost nothing for the alternator.

    The modern cars have thermostats with electric heater integrated in the viscous fluid to vary the opening and closing temperatures some. Anyway, why would you want to cool the car to temperatures lower than thermostat temp?

    The idea is that the PWM runs the pump slow during warm up. Decently implemented, a PWM pump and PWM fan will maintain a fairly constant engine temperature. Some OEM's are doing PWM instead of letting the thermostat regulate the engine temps. They probably build the system to have flow to the heater core first though using some other method.

    You don't want to keep cooling your engine to thermostat temperature or even below it when it's OFF?

    If anyone else would want to use this patch, here is XDF with the code patch so it can be applied easily.
    Code is tested in car and all works fine, so enjoy ;)

    I would like to add this to my PCM. Too many close calls with just a toggle switch...

    Is there a tutorial or guide of how to add a patch to a XDF ? I see in Tunerpro there is a 'Control + N' which allows me to create a new XDF Object with an option of a patch.

    Then what?

    You don't need to do any of that; you can just use the XDF that dzidaV8 posted without any changes.

    If you have some other XDF you really prefer to use and want the water pump patch he provided, then just open dzidaV8's XDF in a text editor, find the sections relating to that patch, then copy and paste them into the appropriate place in your favorite XDF. I wouldn't even bother using TunerPro to do that; I'd just use Notepad++.

    Thanks for the reply NomakeWan.

    Maybe I am making this too hard for myself. I have been working with $EE-16188051-V3.xdf from here. Before I posted my question above I had already opened the file provided by dzvidaV8 in post #12 in windows Notepad. The file appears to follow a programming routine similar to C++ and is fairly small.

    Based on your advice I opened $EE-16188051-V3.xdf in Notepad and found the file much larger and gibberish, which I suspect is Notepad translating binary to ascii text. I don't think what was posted by dzvidaV8 is a complete XDF file.

    Then I loaded the XDF from dzvidaV8 into TunerPro and it literally has only 1 Scalar and 1 Patch, both relating to driving an EWP off of pin B9.

    To me this logically means I must somehow "import" the contents of dzvidaV8's subroutine into $EE-16188051-V3.xdf.

    I am sure this is something simple I am missing and again, thanks for the help.
