FT500 SFI / FT500LITE SFI
15
Long duration alert with average intervals (800 ms with
sound, 400 ms without sound)
This alert may correspond to different situations in ECU:
ECU firmware error:
(need to update the module via the FTUpdater);
Missing cam sync sensor:
a setting was sent to the module which
requires the use of cam sync sensor (12 teeth crank trigger and
sequential ignition). In this case, go to the RPM Signal menu and
enable the cam sync sensor;
Ignition must be configured as a distributor:
a configuration has
been sent to the module that only works in distributor mode. In this
case, connect the module to the PC and go to Ignition menu and select
the “Distributor” option;
Disabled outputs:
connect the FT500LITE to the PC, go to the Engine
Setup menu and select the check box “Enable Outputs pins”;
TPS not calibrated:
connect the module in USB and calibrate the
TPS before starting the engine;
These alerts will be played continuously and will only stop when the
error condition ceases to exist.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting FT500LITE to the USB, it is
normal that the warning sound is weak. It is a
strategy to save the battery when connecting the
ECU to notebooks.
6.4 Dashboard screen
When the engine is running, the dashboard screen shows real-time
information of sensors that are being read by the ECU.
Chapter 23.3 has more information on how to change the instruments
on this screen.
To access the dashboard screen, touch the icon
,
located at the main menu.

Getting to know the ECU
1 - Real time readings;
2 - Internal datalogger status;
3 - Touch this whole area to access the main menu;
4 - Maximum read value;
5 - Minimum read value;
All maximum and minimum values are saved, and can be erased by
accessing the “interface settings” menu and selecting “Clear peaks”
Minimum and maximum values reached are displayed on the bottom
of each frame. Minimum values will be on the left and maximum
values, on the right.
The dashboard is also shown in real time in FTManager:
To add or remove gauges, click with mouse right button in a free space
and select the gauge type you want to (radial, bar or digital).
6.5 Diagnostic panel
The diagnostic panel is a function which shows all ECU inputs and
outputs parameters and is very helpful to detect anomalies in FT500
tune, sensors and actuators. To access it through FTManager, click on
Diagnostic Panel tab at quick access panel.

The Diagnostic Panel is a tool used to detect anomalies on FT500
inputs, outputs, sensors and actuators. In order to access it, touch its
icon
, at the main menu.
Information is split on 6 pages:
• Page 1: general engine information;
• Page 2: status of white inputs;
• Page 3: status of blue outputs;
• Page 4: status of gray outputs;
• Page 5: status of yellow outputs;
• Page 6: RPM reading diagnostics;
Pages 2 to 5 shows input/output at the left column, position/command
sent to the actuator, (outputs)/voltage read (inputs) at the central
column and the main information used to calculate the position/
command at the right column. For a thermatic fan output, i.e., diagnostic
panel shows its status at the center column and the engine coolant
temperature at the right column.
