TPS Reset Botched, how to recover?

[Shatrat]

I got a new-to-me XB12Ss a few weeks ago and got a cable from Xopti recently.

I got it working this morning and tested the TPS reset without first adjusting the idle screw just to see if it would work.

Apparently that was a bad idea. Now I can't seem to correctly reset it.

I adjust the idle until it's at 0%, then a little further, then do the TPS reset.
I adjust the idle back up to 5.5%, but the bike still won't idle.

Before I fumble around trying to find the correct zero point, is there a better process for this than trial and error so that I don't end up making things worse?

Is there an absolute value for the voltage reading of the TPS that I should be shooting for?

Is it possible to unthread the adjuster if I turn too much in one direction?

Why won't my low beam go off even when I pull the fuse?
Is my headlight wiring modified? Both lights are on when I switch on the highs.
Should I just pull the plug from the bulb or is there an easier way?
I don't have a battery tender.

I appreciate any guidance you guys can give, otherwise it's back to trial and error in the morning.
I want to ride to work tomorrow.

Here's a picture of my ECMspy for reference.

Maybe try resetting your AFV too.

Mine is currently set to 4.8.. just set it to where it idles good. I think the 5.5 is just a general number to get you close.

I always have problems resetting my tps.. I got an error code saying that I had a short on my tps sensor. I had to take an allen wrench with me wherever I rode to adjust on the fly.. At one point I was idling at 3000 rpm.. sucked. Its running great now so I haven't touched the tps. I'll have to get in there and see whats causing the problem over the winter.

yea try putting the afv at 100 too. also the baseline is 5.1 to 5.9 degrees not percent. i know its not a whole lot different but u could try that too.

Well I think the problem is that the Degrees and Percent are just relative to where I set 0 to be, and I set zero too far from the actual zero point of the throttle body, if that makes sense.

I looked at the video on youtube a little closer and the (Volts) on his was around .55 suggesting that I've got my throttle too far open.
Obviously that value is going to vary from bike to bike otherwise there would be no need to ever do a reset.
Hopefully that gets me in the ballpark of where the throttle needs to be reset.

I'll try resetting the AFV as well though, thanks for the tips.

as long as you back it all the way out and reset it then it should put u back where u started. i did the same thing with mine when i first got it, after i did it again correctly it worked fine

Your idle has to be set for 5.5 degrees. Not percent. My bike is at 5.9 degrees at (IIRC) 7% for a very steady 1k idle.

 

[bobaganoosh]

yea dallasb is the guy to talk to he helped me fix mine

Ok so this morning I turned the idle adjustment all the way counter clockwise until the (Volts) measurement stopped going down. The minimum value was .74 volts

Then I reset the TPS and the AFV, and then turned the idle adjuster until I was at 5.5 degrees. At this point the Volts reading was 1.05.

When I try to start it revs up to around 3k RPM and then slows back down and dies.

I don't remember the rev up to 3k RPM when my bike was running normally.
Does this indicate that my idle adjustment is too open and I'm running lean, or my butterfly is too closed and it runs rich?


Looks like I'm taking the car to work again.

Figured it out.
I was forgetting to apply the counter clockwise pressure on the throttle.

When I did that it dropped my min (Volts) reading down to .58

Thanks for the support!
