tommac Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 hi all, having plugged in my newly purchased hawkeye to the td5- it ionformed me that the ecu thought the truck was in low when in high and visa versa. I have pulled the plug from the switch and bridged it with wire to trick it to think its in high all the time- this has vastly improved the drive of the truck! Does anyone know how to doa permanent fix to this rather than the piece of wire? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Switch the terminals in the connector block around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 I have the wire all the time since 2 years ago with no troubles at all..... very dusty and wet conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Chua Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 try changing the switch first. it's a screw on from the outside on the front housing of the t-box. change that washer too. if shorting the connectors return 12v to the ECU, then the switch must be faultly and not closing the circuit when in high. it's not a solution, imagine getting stuck in mud and you decide to switch to low (so t-box in low) but FTC is still enabled as the ECU still thinks it's in high. now do you want to crawl under and remove the wire? I'm not sure, but i though it was 12v short to ground = FTC off. so the switch closed contact = low range. Check with the nanocom or rovacom. i remembered the first generation nanocom had this problem of reporting it in reverse as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommac Posted April 21, 2010 Author Share Posted April 21, 2010 thanks for the comments- i think reversing the terminals would work! will give that a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosbeldia Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 It's better at old to be in High all the time, response is improved in both low and high..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
