If you dump 4W into a 5W resistor, that baby is going to get seriously hot.

I have since realised that the 15Ohm resistor DOES have an effect that is tangible. Shifting from N into Drive now comes with quite a harsh engagement despite commanding the lowest line pressure possible.

This has prompted me to add another 15Ohm/5W resistor in parallel to the first. So now I ...

Thanks Lance

Yes, RTFM. :oops:

I need to report that this resistor holds serious danger IMHO. In my case it could have burnt the transmission harness - if I had mounted it in the harness- or possibly even the car.

The GPIO in my car was getting hot, VERY hot, and I found that it was this ...

What is the purpose of the 4.7Ohm resistor in the EXTERNAL wiring diagram? : http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/mshift/wiring.html

It seems to me that the connections between PWMx outputs and AMPSEAL pins are not documented here: http://www.msgpio.com/manuals/pwm.htm

It seems the component table on that page also refers to "VBx" circuits rather than PWMx circuits.

I also believe that the AMP pin no's for the VBx outputs are ...

Right, Ive got speed sensing sorted. I've got a TP500 module doing the conversion from the sinusoidal VSSensor output to 12V square wave which is then fed to GPIO as well as the VDO speedo gauge:

FWIW, here is a scope trace of the VSS input to GPIO with rear wheels raised, transmission in N, engine running and the wheels turning ever so slowly on their own.

Thanks Lance

MSQ attached.

I tried reflashing the code but then CAN would no longer work and I could not figure out why. I was low on patience at that moment and then flashed the Extra Transcontrol code. That code was better in the sense that it was accurate and stable BUT NOT AT extremely slow ...

OK it certainly varies from pull-away to pull-away, and I also see it change in speed calibration when it shifts into 2nd (which is still rather hard - have not yet been able to soften it.)

Its not as much that the speed is wrong, its the inconsistency that baffles me.

Also, tried the beta ISR but ...

It is possible that TunerStudio is mishandling the units conversion (especially if you had just changed the units settings and not re-started TS). It is also possible that the INI has become mangled (though it would be unlikely to fix itself if that was the case).

However, I think a more likely ...
