HOW TO: Use, update, and troubleshoot your F/IC

Here are links to various threads that can help you diagnose common issues that F/IC owners may encounter as well as walk-throughs to perform necessary procedures:

Connect to your F/IC
F/IC6 Software Version 2.01 (for older maps)
F/IC6 Software Version 3.04
F/IC6 Software Version 3.05 Update - Must have 3.04 First (internal log fix)
F/IC8 Software Version 1.04
F/IC8 Software Version 1.05 Update - Must have 1.04 First (log, calc, and playback fix)
F/IC Video Instructions
Make a MAF Simulation
Reflash your F/IC
Regional language settings with unwanted PIN
USB Drivers not working
View F/IC datalogs in AEMLog software
Windows Vista 64bit drivers

New instructions for the F/IC6 are being released with wiring updates for oxygen sensors, gauges, and a general update.

The rest of the instruction manuals can be found here: http://forum.aempower.com/forum/index.php/topic,21540.0.html

I think that that manual has some problems within O2 section "fixed mode".
It says,
Quote
“Fixed” mode - The F/IC outputs a square wave that alternates between the Bank Hi voltage and the Bank Lo voltage. The Bank Hi voltage, Bank Lo voltage, and square wave period are set in the O2 section of the setup window. The pulse width is determined by the cell value in the “O2 Map”. For a Bank Hi of 2, and Bank Lo of 1, a period of 200 ms, and a cell value of 50, the F/IC will output 2 volts for 50 ms, 1 volt for 150ms, 2 volts for 50 ms, etc.

When I tried that on my car, it does not work. I observe signal with my oscilloscope. It was correct square wave but pulse width was not correct.
I defined 0.8V for Bank Hi Voltage and 0 V for Bank Lo voltage. I set the time 200ms. And I entered 50 for all cells on O2 map.
 Normally, FIC should have to 0.8V output for 50 ms, and 150 ms 0 Volt right? But it was not correct. It is sending 150 ms 0.8V and 50 ms 0. I checked my scope probs, they were correct.  I tried voltage mode for to be sure about wiring. When I antered to O2 cell 0.8 V FIC output goes 0.8V DC. So, my all connections are good.

That means that section is not correct on manual.

I observe that, according to above configuration, (Bank hi = 0.8V, Bank Lo = 0 V , Period : 200 ms , Cell value is 50 ) FIC outputs 150ms 0.8 V and 50ms 0 V. So the cell value is determining Bank lo pulse width. Not Bank Hi . Or my FIC is a crazy Smiley

Sorry my bad English.

I finally got around to checking this with a scope. You are correct and it will be updated in the new instruction manual.  afro

Here are some updated instructions for the F/IC6 and F/IC8. There is now information about what the hex files do, updated square wave information, and updates for the new version 3.06 and 1.06 F/IC software.
