Anyone familiar with TCI handheld controllers for auto?
 

I cannot program the settings in any way (Setup Wizard, for default settings, Advanced Options, etc.).

If you're at all familiar with this controller, please have a look at this post in TCI Product Support Forum

I haven't traced the controller module wiring yet.

If out-linking is verboten, sorry - wipe it, if out of order.

Thanks here...

What is the controller actually supposed to do?

Re: Anyone familiar with TCI handheld controllers for auto?
 

Changes TC lock up RPM, shift points low (and high) by TPS, shift engagement firmness, etc...

Setup Wizard bases operation on tire size, rear end gearing, does a TPS calibration for range, etc.

I had a vid of live data read, but the handheld screen doesn't show...

Got the link (and saved) Dave; that's my control module -

Pete - I have begun the wiring trace, and found some crappy connections at a newly found device 'Dakota Digital SGI-5 C'. :confused: . I told those hacks that I wanted to COMPLETELY ANNOTATE MY FSM, and they won't give ANY RECEIPTS, PAPERWORK< OR SQUAT. :mad:

Anyway, this is what I found...

I'm hoping this is the source of the Comm Error, but I know that I HAVE TO trace all lines... :(

AND THANKS FOR THE FLEXPLATE TOO THERE, PETE!!! :thumbsup:

Schrade,

Looks like real quality work. NOT! Is that supposed to provide a VSS signal?

Re: Anyone familiar with TCI handheld controllers for auto?
 

I would have thought the Dakota Digital could have been avoided. Those devices can raise hell with most of the things that are troubling you. I believe the cruise is difficult to accomplish and who knows whatever else.

I guess it's sort one device at a time!

When I looked at the transmission controller it seemed pretty straight forward and I believe I understood it, I understand what it would have taken for the VSS to function as intentioned also.

Yep. That's what it is.

Can't tell by pic but it looks like there's no sensor ground.
