with a trigger wheel without missing tooth when there is a cam sync
signal in the wrong place. Also occurs in engines with a very light
flywheel that accelerates and decelerates quickly during compression
strokes at engine startup and running.
Crank trigger error: wrong number of teeth - number of teeth is
different on the crank trigger wheel than what is set at ECU. Electrical
noise can cause a reading of a “ghost” tooth, for example.

IMPORTANT
Step motor is calibrated every time the ECU is
turned on, so, before cranking the engine, it is
recommended to wait about 2s after turning
the ignition switch on. If this procedure is
not respected, the engine may be revved up
unwittingly during the step motor calibration,
coming back to normal within seconds.
If your step motor is different from the ones listed here, do what follows:
1. Put a tester on the 200 Ohms range;

2. Measure the step motor actuators until you find a resistance of
approximately 50 Ohms. That’s one pair of coils;
3. Connect yellow #1 and yellow #3 to a pair of coils and yellow
#2 and yellow #4 to the other pair.;
4. If the step motor remains fully opened after the calibration, change
yellow #1 by yellow #3 position.
FT600 step motor control is compatible with the great majority of

actuators nowadays.
Usually, with this simple test you’re able to make the step motor work
normally.

Analogic
This option must be used when there is only one input (white wire)
dedicated for the ECU to identify the shifter position. The shifter sensor
must be a potentiometer that will vary the voltage and therefore send
different values for the ECU according to each position. Each voltage
must be set up in the ECU, as well as each detection window between
the positions.

18.4 Engine temperature compensation

This map represents a compensation on the advance or retard angle
applied to the main RPM map based on engine temperature variation.
It is a very important feature and it brings significant improvement on
drivability, especially while operating cold engines, when advanced
ignition timing is necessary in order to have a correct response from
the engine. It is also essential for engine protection, as it retards the
ignition timing when the engine reaches high temperatures.

It is beneficial, because the colder the air entering the combustion
chamber, the denser it is, and the greater the possible ignition

But when temperatures are very high (especially on turbocharged
engines), the ignition timing must be retarded to protect the engine.

19.5 Revolution limiter

This function is very important for engine protection, limiting the RPM
with two different options of cut-off:
Fuel Injection: the fuel injection is cut-off instantly, as the ignition is

still operating. It is a very smooth and clean cut-off. Recommended
only for naturally aspirated engines, it is the standard setting in vehicles
with original injection systems.
Ignition: the engine ignition is cut-off when the configured RPM

is reached. It is recommended for high-power engines, especially
turbocharged ones, being the most efficient and safe option.
19.4 Deceleration cut-off

The purpose of Deceleration cut-off is to improve fuel economy when
the engine is at 0% throttle situations.
This aids in the deceleration of the vehicle by making use of engine
braking while driving in traffic. This function is valuable to the reduction
of fuel consumption
On a circuit racing or auto cross vehicle is utilizing heavy braking going
into a turn, it is necessary that it has a quick and clean response from
the engine upon re-opening the throttle.
Deceleration cut-off will aid in dynamic braking from the engine as
well as overall fuel economy.
A standard RPM of 2000rpm is recommended. Setting a very low

RPM may cause the engine to turn off involuntarily during deceleration

so the progressive nitrous will only active if the engine rpm is inside
the window. The total time to return PWM control is a delay ramp to
reactivate the progressive nitrous when it is disabled by any safety
features or switch. This ramp avoids the progressive nitrous to return

from a sensor. In the case of an air temperature sensor (which we
recommend), a button is wired in parallel to the sensor wire, and
when the button is pushed the signal is grounded. Once the signal is

The gear shift by single value sends a signal every time the engine
reaches the selected RPM. When using the each gear mode, each
gear shift will be on its own RPM. To use this mode the gear detection
must be activated.
The gear shift is enabled after the 2-step is released, so, after the last
gear the 2-step must be activated again to perform the shifts again.
When selecting this mode, the “First gear shift by time and RPM” will
be available. It allows the gear shift to be performed not only by RPM,
but also by time. This means that there are 2 conditions (time and
20.5 Timing table for rev launch RPM) to be met to gear shift. It is not possible to use this control with
automatic transmissions with more than one solenoid.
This timing table is only used for burnout mode, 2-step and 3-step.
This is not a compensation table, but a table with absolute timing
values, which ignores any other timing table or compensation. These settings will define the lock time between shifts and the RPM
in which they will happen. When the engine reaches the set RPM,
the output will be activated and it will start counting the lock time. The
shift into next gear will only happen after this time has passed and the
engine reaches the defined RPM again.

26. Rotary engines setup

FuelTech ECU will control the ignition timing using the reference of the 1
24 tooth wheel to calculate timing values based on the main timing
table and corrections. All ignition timing programmed in the tables is
referenced to the leading coil.
The trailing coil will be fired using the final calculated value from main
timing table, including all corrections and timing controls, with an
applied correction from the rotary timing split table. This means that
if the ignition timing in the main table is 0° with no corrections and

timing controls and the timing split is set as -10 ° in the rotary timing
split table specific cell, the ECU will fire the leading coil at 0° and the 2
trailing coil 10° after leading coil was fired.
If the rotary timing split values are different when the engine is operating
with multiple cells, the ECU will interpolate the value between the cells
and apply that value.
3. Install and tighten the Crank Angle Sensor in the engine. After
the steps above are correctly followed, the Crank Angle Sensor
should be aligned at TDC with the eccentric shaft.

configuration data, real time readings, etc. The lower the MessageID
the higher is the priority. The MessageID’s most significant bit is
reserved in order to identify a response from a command:
30.2 IDENTIFICATION
The FTCAN will use the 29 bits of the IDENTIFICATION header to MessageID (11 bits)
identify the device that originated the message. The 29 bits will be Bit 10 Bits 9 to 0 (10 bits)
divided in order to provide information about: the unique product Response (value 1) Message code
identifier, type of data and the type of message that is being sent. The
bit division was planned in order to have multiple message priorities for The priorities ranges are:
the same type of product, and to have multiple priorities for the many • Critical priority: 0x000 a 0x0FF

Identifies the product that has sent the message. The lower the
ProductID the higher is the priority in the CAN bus. In the network The DATA FIELD can have up to 8 data layouts accordingly to the
two devices that are the same type of product (two O2 sensors for DataFieldID’s value. All values in the DATA FIELD are transmitted as
example) cannot have the same ProductID. In order to differentiate big-endian.
two products of the same type the ProductID bits are divided as
show below. DataFieldID 0x00: Standard CAN
ProductID (15 bits) In this data layout all 8 bytes of the DATA FIELD are used as valid
Bit 14 to 5 (10 bits) Bits 4 to 0 (5 bits) data (PAYLOAD). All data are transmitted in one shot since this mode
doesn’t implement data segmentation.
ProductTypeID Unique identifier
Each product that wants to send data to the CAN bus must have a DATA FIELD (1 to 8 bytes)
unique identifier. Devices that will only receive data from the CAN bus 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
doesn’t need to have a unique ID. PAYLOAD
The ProductIDs are divided in priority ranges: DataFieldID 0x01: Standard CAN Bridge (bridge, gateway
or converter)
• Critical priority: 0x0000 to 0x1FFF In this data layout all 8 bytes of the DATA FIELD will be forwarded
• High priority: 0x2000 to 0x3FFF by the bus converter. The DataFieldID (0x01) is also used to identify
• Medium priority: 0x4000 to 0x5FFF packets that are originated outside the CAN bus. Bridge examples
• Low priority: 0x6000 to 0x7FFF are: Standalone USB-CAN converter, FT500’s USB-CAN bridge, etc.
