aem 5 bar problem

Post by D@nny »

Since I updated my software whenever I downshift or the motor pulls heavy vacuum the ecu throws a code for the map sensor and wont rev. cycle the key and it drives fine until it happens again. aem 5 bar map sensor. was something changed in the update 1.4 because it ran fine before. do you guys have a new scalar and offset for this sensor?

I looked at your scalar anf offset equation- for aem 5 bar

min voltage and pressure is .5 volts = -1013 mbar

max voltage and pressure = 4.5 = 4157.5 mbar

range 4.0 volts

pressure range = 3144

so the scalar and off set should be 786 and -393

but this gives incorrect pressure readings -voltage so it is incorrect. any advice?

figuring the sensor gives 18.723 psi per volt then the scalar would be 1290mbar 1290 multiplied by.5 volts would be -645 offset and then the numbers are correct.

I have the same issue w/ this 5 bar map. Why can hondata just answer this type of questions instead of giving you puzzles.

We provide the means to calculate the scalar and offset for any MAP sensor. See the help file
According to the information for the AEM 5 bar the scalar and offset is 1289 and -639.

However, if you're having problems as described then it could be an issue other than using the correct scalar and offset.

if it ran fine and all he did was update Smanager , than i think its safe to assume its a software issue. but , cooincidental car problems are far from unheard of for sure.

d@nny, fwiw, i had an issue where the map would peg 65psi positive pressure when cycling the key, you may have the opposite effect, mine was a bad pin in the pigtail. may or may not be your issue but it may be worth looking at.

also i found the map is more stable and accurate when not mounted to the engine. mine is now in an a-del clamp bolted to the firewall.
