I've been trying to figure out how to get my shift light working per gear in my car, using $59.
So far I've only been able to get one RPM activation of the shift light regardless of gear using the "RPM over which shift light" setting that is an overall setting that ignores any specific gear ratio.
I've thought that the N/V ratios (RPM/MPH) might be off, but I've set them so wide at times that the car should think it's pretty much ALWAYS in first gear. lol
I've tried playing with the shift light on delay setting thinking it may be a delay for how long the light stays on, not a delay before it's activated, and no bueno.
I've set the TPS min really low, I'm going to try it really high because it may be an inverse thing, since I looked at a $58 bin from a Sunbird, that shows 99.71% (as high as the code allows), which I'm not sure if that's set so high to disable it, or if it's a disable TPS setting.
Now I'm curious at what point the ECM sees the vehicle speed, is it before or after the internal scaler adjustment? If it's before that might explain a little with the current drivetrain, since the VSS is something like 17000 pulses per mile, but I did have a 2000 PPM VSS in the car before using the same code, and couldn't get it to work then.
Any ideas?
Is there something I'm missing about the shift light function? Yes the manual trans flag is set.
I am attaching a grab of the parameters for the shift light, the rest of the gears are just repeats of the same, with different values, except 5th, but I don't care about a shift light in 5th...
