Electric fan control on Sd4x

A1C calibration can be modified and configured to operate all EFI-SD4x ECUs in 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder and 8 cylinder configurations.

Yes, I was interpreting that all wrong. The link below helped me understand the fundamentals of the output but both examples use an external transistor. is that what you mean by TTL Logic in your diagram?

Finally figured it out! I'm using a pull-up resistor connected to the 5 volt reference pin. That is then connected to the ECU pin and the high input of the relay board. Once I implement the optocoupler circuit, I will send pictures and schematics.

Got the optocoupler circuit figured out. I was able to use a bunch of available pads/traces and solder it right in. Not my prettiest work but should get the job done safely. IC is Cosmo 1010. More to come.

That’s awesome. That spare pad area you used is where the knock sensor chip would be on 6cyl sd47 hardware, fyi

Should be able to start putting the truck back together next week. Thinking about writing the code in a super simple way. It will just be:

If fan is on and ect is below 205f (thermostat temp) turn fan off.
If fan is off and ect is above 211f turn fan on.

The relay board has selectable hi/low inputs so I have already tested wiring it to the ac clutch 12v wire with good success. I will use two relays for each input for redundancy.

Any issues with the code idea?

This code worked out beautifully. I hard coded on/off setpoint values because I did not know how to reference an address this late in the code. I am not sure how to add a new reference address that would allow it.

Code: Select all

Sub_c600:
c600: ef,59,f9            call  bf5c             Sub_bf5c ();  'call datalogging routine
c603: 33,46,09            jnb   B3,R46,c60f      if (B3_R46 = 1)  { ' check if fan is on. If not skip to c60f
c606: 99,60,b6            cmpb  Rb6,60           ' compare ect with 60
c609: d6,03               jge   c60e             if (Rb6 < 60)  { 'if < 60 'if > 60 skip to c60e, turn fan off if not
c60b: 71,f7,46            an2b  R46,f7           B3_R46 = 0; }
c60e: f0                  ret                    return; }

c60f: 99,69,b6            cmpb  Rb6,69           'compare ect with 69
c612: de,03               jlt   c617             if (Rb6 >= 69)  { ' if ECT >= 69 turn fan on. skip to c617 if not
c614: 91,08,46            orb   R46,8            B3_R46 = 1; }
c617: f0                  ret                    return;

This worked out great. Use the cooling fan scalars I added to adjust on/off setpoints. Make sure the on setpoint is greater than the off setpoint or you may end up with very undesirable results.

very nice

so long as it works thats all that matters.

For reference not that it matters but here's the fan code I wrote for RZASA a few years back.

Code: Select all

1xab42 vector list calls 8xff28
8xff28 calls 1dcd7

1dc31 - begins vsf code
1df95 - end of vsf code
0x365 == 869 bytes of code

1xdcd7 code injected

its in the rzasa xdf you can enable it and disassemble it if you want the actual listing
