3sgte RC engine code info, help me find a link please Options

[speedy]

Hi all,
I know the info has probably been posted here before. But, I can not find the info i am looking for. So I am trying to enlist some help on getting in the right direction.

I am doing a ST185RC swap into an AT200... I don't have the intercooler ECU, I'm using a bocsh water pump and the level sensor is not hooked up. The car has one code 54 because of this...

I am trying to find the info on how to wire in a resistor to bypass this code and get the light off so the car will come out of limp mode. Thanks in advance

Afaik it's just a simple bridge. What do you mean intercooler ECU? theres a separate ECU for that?

[abstavros]

When you say "ST185RC swap", you mean the ST185 Carlos Sainz edition????
With the water cooled intercooler??
Thiw is the same engine with the ST205, the 3rd gen 3sgte engine, so you can fit an ECU from ST205.
There isn't any seperate ECU for the chargecooler. It's working with car's ECU.
The 54 malfuction is a problem with the water cooled intercooler.

Also, I find these. May be help you:


Code: System Diagnosis
11 ECU (+ Momentary interruption in power to ECU
12 RPM Signal No NE or G signal to ECU within 2 seconds after engine has been cranked.
13 Ignition Signal No NE signal to ECU when engine speed is above 1,000 rpm
14 Ignition Signal No IGF signal to ECU 8-11 times in succession
21 Oxygen Sensor/Heater cct Detection of oxygen sensor deterioration or open or short in oxygen sensor heater.
22 Water Temp Signal Open or short in water temp. sensor signal (THW).
24 Intake Air Temp. Sensor Open or short in intake air temp. sensor signal (THA).
25 Air-fuel Ratio Lean Malfunction Oxygen sensor outputs a lean signal continuously for several seconds during air-fuel ratio correction. Open or short in oxygen sensor (OX).
26 Air-fuel Ratio Rich Malfunction Oxygen sensor outputs a rich signal continuously for several seconds during air-fuel ratio correction.
31 Air-Flow Meter Signal Open cct in VC signal or short cct between VS and E2 when idle contacts are closed.
32 Air-Flow Meter Signal Open cct in E2 or short cct between VC and VS.
34 Turbocharging Pressure Signal Fuel cut-off due to high turbocharging pressure.
35 Turbocharging Pressure Sensor Signal Open or short in turbocharging sensor pressure signal (PIM).
41 Throttle Position Sensor Signal Open or short in throttle position sensor signal (VTA).
42 Vehicle Speed Sensor Signal No SPD signal for 8 seconds when engine speed is between 2,500rpm and 6,000rpm and coolant temperature is below 80C (176F) except when racing the engine.
43 Starter Signal No STA signal to ECU until engine speed reaches 800rpm with vehicle not moving.
52 Knock Sensor Signal Open or short in knock sensor signal (KNK).
53 Knock Sensor Control Signal in ECU Knock control in ECU faulty.
51 Switch Signal No IDL signal or A/C signal to ECU, with check terminals TE1 and E1 shorted.

This is flat out wrong. ST185RC and CS are not the same as the ST205. There is a chargecooler computer but it's generally not used in our swaps.

yeah, there definately is a seperate IC ECU. the set up is based off the one used in a ST165, they have one too.
