HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I'm currently outside fitting my throttle controller. There is no power going to it when I turn the key. I unplugged the grey plug from above the gas pedal and plugged the throttle grey plug in. I then plugged original removed grey plug into the 6 pin plug on the throttle controller. I then plugged the black box connector into the OBDII port. The controller box has been plugged into the black module box thing. Anything I've done incorrecly? Sorry about being very short, I'm typing on my phone. All help appreciated! Hassan Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Make sure the grey connectors are plugged correctly like here: Quote
Zugara Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 A; have you done the set-up? B;make sure the plugs are fitted correctly, very easy to get them to fit the wrong way round. C; ensure the plugs are fully "home" Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 All connectors look exactly like the pics and they're fully home. Still no power I can't do the set up without power right? Any other suggestions pls? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 ODB connector plugged in? Contact ON? Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 ODB connector plugged in? Contact ON? Yes OBDII connector in the right way. How do you mean by contact ON? Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Just switched the car on. No display on throttle controller but my gas pedal still worked when i blipped the throttle if that helps. Don't know if its meant to work if there is no power going to throttle controller... Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Check all the connections again, I'm sure you've plugged something the other way round... Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 the plugs are the wrong way round Just unclipped plug in throttle, it only goes in one way as.there is a bit that sticks out for the clip. When I pushed it back in it clicked. According to the pic the second connector in right way and tight too. The OBDII is a triangular shape and in tight Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 The second connector would only allow me to push one way round other way ill end up bending.the 6 pins. If it was connected wrong way round, would my accelarator pedal work? Mine does Quote
Zugara Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 check that ALL the pins are OK and non bent over. Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 If you car starts ok and you can rev the car normally then I would say its either a faulty unit or one of your ODB pins are bent/broken. Did you buy this new? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 It was working perfectly when I've removed it from the car two days ago, you should not have a problem with it. Could it be that your OBDII port is faulty?... Any friend in the area that you can try it on his Z? Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 All pins are Okay. This is odd!!! Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 OBDII port is fine, diagnosed a CEL light using norcotix's diagnostics equipment 3 weeks ago Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 When you turn the key is the screen meant to come on straight away? Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 2-3 seconds from what I remember... Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 Can someone confirm whether the gas pedal would work or not if its not been hooked up properly? Quote
HassanZ Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 If you car starts ok and you can rev the car normally then I would say its either a faulty unit or one of your ODB pins are bent/broken. Did you buy this new? Car starts fine with this connected and I can rev it normally too whilst connected. This was bought used of a member of this forum (I won't disclose unless the member chooses too ). The OBDII pins are fine as I used it to diagnose a CEL light 3 weeks ago. Quote
coldel Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 I think best bet is to find someone local on here and try it on their car - I am pretty sure no reputable member on here would have knowingly sold you a dud. Quote

Correct, I too believe a member wouldn't do that. I'll put it Down to my error until I try it on a local Zed. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Not a problem to say you bought it from me mate, I can assure you it was working perfectly! Try on a different car, if it doesn't work, will speak to ZMANALEX about warranty. Quote
