TROUBLESHOOTING 1) The module isn’t powering or not able to enter into the menu 2) Both up and downshifting aren’t working or troubled. 3) upshift isn’t working or troubled. 4) downshift isn’t working or troubled. 5) System continuously cut or blipping even if the foot isn’t acting on the pedal. pedal 6) After blipping, especially at higher rpm, bike goes to limp mode mode. 7)) “E1” flashing continuously on the display. 8) Upshift and downshift loads are too low (below 10). Some Preliminar Questions to ask in all cases: a) Which are your current settings? b) Send us a picture of the sensor and rearset rearset.. Remind that, as per instructions, the grubs must be closed by 4 nuts. And wire better if fixed with a plastic strip c) Ground wire ALWAYS on battery ground, no not to the frame. 1) The module isn’t powering or not able to enter into the menu On some Ducati engine must be at idle to see the module powering. On bikes with upshift module, check “OC” set to “C”. If correct:: REPLACE THE UNIT 2) Both up and downshifting aren’t working or troubled. Check heck “CE” is properly set. As per instructions "C" Pushing,, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is compressing, "E" Pulling, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is extending. 3) Upshift isn’t working or troubled. a) Check “CE” is properly set. As per instructions "C" Pushing, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is compressing, "E" Pulling, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is extending. b) Check that when upshifting shifting th the display will show “- -” for a while and that you can hear a “click”. If no, properly set “L”. c) If you can, confirm you can hear a “click” from the small black box. d) If connected directly to the coil, “OC” must be set in “C”, if connected to OEM or additional modules like YEC and similar, “OC” must be set in “O”. Powercommander: Refer to Powercommander manual to properly set. e) If connected to a power commander or YEC or similar, check that the trouble isn’t coming from the additional module so, remove the upshifting connection, put engine in neutral at 6,000rpm, do a shortcircuit between the port of the additional module (with a wire or with a nipper). Buke must cut, if yes, REPLACE the IRC unit. f) In case of S1000RR, be sure to have the white connector well inserted in the OEM black one. Hardly push if necessary to be sure it is fully engaged. g) remind that, as per instructions, and according to S1000 user’s manual, the shifting reset procedure could be necessary. It is as follow Power on, Start the bike in 1st gear While driving, min 4,000rpm, go up through all gears being careful to remain at least 10s in each. Once in sixth, pull in the clutch and shift down to neutral keeping the clutch pulled. Switch off contact and wait 120 sec before restart. This procedure works on stand too. h) In case of S1000RR, disconnect the IRC white connector. You can see 3 pins named 1, 2, 3. With a ohmmeter, set as below: Check to have these values: 1-2: 100KOhm 2-3: 10KOhm 1-3: 110KOhm. If yes, the system is fine, if no or replace or contact IRC for a quick solving 4) Downshift isn’t working or troubled. a) Remind blipper works only above 3,000 true rpm. b) Check “CE” is properly set. As per instructions "C" Pushing, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is compressing, "E" Pulling, i.e. when passing from 2nd to 3rd gear, the rod is extending. c) Check that when downshifting the display will show “- -“ for a while. d) If you can, confirm you can hear a “click” form the small black box. e) On Yamaha, as per instructions, be sure to have connected 4 black ways bypass to APS (Accelerator Position Sensor) and not to TPS (throtthe Position Sensor). You can easily find the APS because is the one connected near the Accelerot cables. 5) System continuously cut or blipping even if the foot isn’t acting on the pedal This is a load cell matter. Now we must understand if it’s due to installation or to unit failure. Mostly of time, especially if this trouble occurs at idle or lowest rpm, it’s due to the battery type (LIPO or similar), so: a) If this happens at idle or lower rpm, try to go over 4,000rpm. If trouble is disappeared, bike has a problem to the battery or power at idle, otherwise follow as per below. b) If trouble happens at mid-high rpm, Refer to previous “preliminary questions” point b). Very important c) Check you don’t have “E1” as per point 7. d) Otherwise do this: turn on the engine, idle. go to "S" menu. you must read "00" or max "02". Now push the lower button for 5 sec and release. you should have "- -" blinking. After a couple of seconds you can read a value. it should be max 04. If it is above 20 the load cell could be damaged, ADVISE IRC If between 04 and 20, sensor has too much vibrations so check again the fixing of the 2 bolts near it. Now go out from menu, do an upshift. Pull the clutch, go to S, enter and then push again the lower button for 5 sec and release. Don’t touch the lever and accelerate the engine above 10,000rpm for a while. You should have "- -" blinking. After 10 sec, a value will appear on the display. If it is above 05 vibrations are affecting too much the sensor. 6) After blipping, especially at higher rpm, bike goes to limp mode a) Check you are connected to APS not to TPS i.e. connect to the first connector you can, following the wires from the throttlegrip b) Reduce “SL” and “tS”. On RSV4 go to the minimum allowed values. c) On Yamaha, as per instructions, WARNING: Check the tongues of the connectors are locked. Use a hose clamp or plastic strip to better fix the connector on the harness side. Comments: on RSV4 this can happen due to interference between our system and the OEM throttle grip. If you change one of them, problem solved. Obviously we tell to customer to replace our. On other bikes this shouldn’t happen. 7) “E1” flashing continuously on the display a) Check Ground wire ALWAYS on battery ground, not to the frame. b) Try to power the bike, run engine at 4,000rpm and check if “E1” disappear. If yes, replace the battery or check that the electric powering system is fine providing the proper voltage. c) Turn on the engine, idle. d) Go to "S" menu. You must read "00" or max "02". e) Now push the lower button for a couple of seconds and release. You should have "- -" blinking. f) After 10 seconds you can read a value. It should be max 03. If above, sensor has too much vibrations so check again the fixing of the 2 bolts near it. g) Turn on the engine, 4000rpm. Better if gear engaged h) Go to "S" menu. you must read "00" or max "02". i) Now push the lower button for a couple of seconds and release. You should have "- -" blinking. j) After 10 seconds you can read a value. It should be max 04. If above, sensor has too much vibrations so check again the fixing of the 2 bolts near it. k) Turn on the engine, 4000rpm. Better if gear engaged l) Go to "S" menu. you must read "00" or max "02". m) Now push the lower button for a couple of seconds and release. You should have "- -" blinking. n) Now take in hand the connector between load cell and orange box, shake it a while (not to much). After 10 seconds you can read a value. It should be max 06. If above, contact us. 8) Upshift and downshift loads are too low (below 10). a) Check you don’t have “E1” as per point 7. b) Give power, don't touch the lever, enter in the menu, go to "S" and check that you read "00" or oscillating "01", not more. Then try to push the pedal till you just feel the gear, not till the upper gear enter. You should read values between "08" and "15". c) If you read so the system is good and you only need to go back in the menu till "L" and check the preload. It must be higher than "08". d) If no, record in a paper sheet all settings. e) Set “tt”=00 f) Turn off the bike g) Push the upper button and maintaining it pushed, turn on the key (or the engine in the case of some ducatis). h) After a while the display will show "--". i) Release the button. Don't touch anything. j) After a while the display will show "CC". k) Push the pedal by hand till you feel the gear, not till the upper gear enter. l) Maintain this load constant till "CC" disappears. m) Switch power off and then on. Then go to "S" as per above and check that with no load the display is "00" while if you try to push the pedal till you just feel the gear, values are between "08" and "15". n) If lower repeat the setup applying less load on the pedal, if higher apply more load. o) When you are in the proper range, go to "tt" and set the value of your bike as you recorded at point d). p) Set all menues as you recorded at point d). General Questions a) Gears aren’t fully engaged during Upshifting or go out after a while: Increase “t”. Check “L”, eventually increase it a couple of points. b) Gears aren’t fully engaged during Blipping or go out after a while: Increase “SL” and “tS”. Check “LS”, eventually increase it a couple of points c) During blippping bike push ahead. If at higer rpm (above 8,000rpm) Reduce “tS” If at lower rpm, reduce “SL”.
