So my friend and I installed the Tein EDFC Control unit today. There's a harness with 4 wires: red - accessory power, black - ground, yellow - constant power, green - illumination. We hooked everything up and thought everything was correct. Fire up the car and noticed the unit wouldn't turn on automatically. So we clicked the power button and the unit turned on. We had no problem using the unit to set the stiffness and use the pre-program feature to program settings. But once we turn off the power and turn the unit back on, the settings are gone. So basically 2 issues...

1. Unit does not turn on when ignition is on. I hate having to click an extra button every time I start up the car.

2. The pre-programmed settings are gone when the unit is restarted.

Thanks in advance!

 

This is what happens, when Eric isn't around to help

 

sounds like your yellow wire isnt hooked up correctly. no contsant power = no memory.

 

Hey Alberto, does your unit power on when you turn the car on or you also have to click the power button?

 

The first time or if I disconnect the battery I have to turn it on. After that it stays on and stores the settings. I wanted my EDFC backlit all the time so I wired it like that, no illumination on it.

 

Hmm.. sounds like it's also the constant power wire then. The unit probably doesn't remember the last power setting was "on" when the car fires up. I'll look into that wire and see what we did wrong. Thanks!

 

Haha Ethan looks like problem solved, bring it by next weekend and chris can rewire.

 

Right. Sounds like it's definitely the yellow wire. Next Sunday it is!

 

I cannot beleive you txted me and asked me about it.... =O...

 

I didn't care about you. I was trying to get in touch with the guy that you were with

 

oh damn.. i feel rejected now.. sad..

 

pwnt!


only you. areee my shinning starrrrr!

 

The interior is like rainbow color now.. Red light from the AEM gauges, yellow light from the OEM lights, orange from the OEM gauges, now green from the tein EDFC controller... I just need some purple and blue and it'd be complete!

 

Or get those neon lights that spell out ricer on the rear windshield

 

ethan this plenum polishing is going well! it looks awesome already...and im not even close to being half done.

 

Awesome bro! Did you get the gaps?

BTW... thanks Chris for the work (Even though Danny calls it the degrading work)

 

hahaha thank you Ethan
haha forget what danny said

Hey Alberto, so your controller is basically on 24/7 even when the engine is shut down?

 

No, that would be retarded.
