last week i took my car to PA to get the s100 installed in the car. i had already a p28 ecu with the conversion harness. all i needed is the s100 chip and it was ready to go. there were no pervious cel's with the p28 ecu i had. when hondata was installed and pluged into the harness a cel appeared. the tuner and i of course i had no idea why the cel was coming up. so basically i took a 2 hour trip for nothing. do these problems happen with hondata alot. i thought i was convinced hondata was a good thing but i became pretty pissed off. now do i blame the tuner, my car, or hondata for this. any opinions on people who have hondata and what should i do now..

 

what does cel say? if theres any interruptions with signal from ecu to hondata box cel will appear and hondata box will be flashing every couple seconds. i had this problem once it was bad cable, describe your problem a bit more

 

he jumped it and the cel justed stayed on ...it did not flash .. i dunno man

 

****, i just realised you dont have a hondata box with s100.. so theres no cable.. try hondata website.. its either the hondata unit faulty or ecu itself

 

Was the light on the s100 flashing or solid? Did the installer make sure he disabled the knock sensor in the Rom imaage?

 

Could be a bunch of different issues...

Were the chip and the S100 board installed correctly?

 

yeah it was installed correctly and the cel was solid did not flash...

 

Does the car start and drive?
What vehicle do you have?
If you have a OBD2 car did you use a Hondata ECU or an OBDI ecu with conversion harness?

If you can find someone local with an S200, I would try a few different things:

1) Remove the S100 board and install an S200 box (if you can borrow one)
2) Try a different ECU w/ your chip and S100 board
3) Try a different ECU w/ an S200 and your chip
4) Try a different chip in your original set-up

 

your chip is corrupt......you must reburn it....


dave and i trouble shot this problem for over 20 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Maybe the flux capaciter is broken

good luck man, let us know how it turns out. I am interested in getting a hondata as well and would like to make sure you get this problem sloved, so I dont have the same problem
