PLX EGT not reading corrently

Post by jdelcorte »

Hello, i hooked up the PLX EGT analog out to the analog 1 wire on the S300 board, set it up in the hondata for PLX EGT but the gauge is reading a certain temp and the S300 is reading much less, is there a certain voltage offset i have to enter? Also included the file and pic

Switch the analog input to voltage, then check the voltage shown in SManager is the same as what PLX specifies in their manual http://www.plxdevices.com/v/vspfiles/su ... _guide.pdf (voltage = temp(C) x 0.00333)

Ok I am reading the current voltage for the EGT and also the Fluid temp. Now what do I do to get the correct temp reading?

Breaking down the voltage and C to F it was reading the correct voltage, included pics

Ok, the next step would be to enter in a custom conversion.

For the EGT set the type to custom and the unit to temperature (F or C).
Conversion 0V = 0C and 5V = 1500C

For the ECT the conversion is 0V = 0V and 5V = 150C

Ok that seemed to work thank you, but after a few minutes the hondata switches it self From F to C by it self, very strange.. I can fix it back to F save it, upload it back to the ECU then a few
Minutes later they will start reading C again, not a big problem but just wanted to let ya'll know of the issue
