need Evo 9 owner to test rear O2 *heater* sim patch

With a bit of help from acamus, I now understand the rear O2 heater OBD-II test algorithm enough to write a patch to simulate the rear O2 heater status so that the rear O2 sensor can be removed entirely. I need some help testing the patch though because my rear O2 sensor is still installed. I need an Evo 9 owner who has removed their rear O2 sensor, is not running the resistor mod, and has time to help me test a patch. Thanks.

Code:
loc_2E722:                              ! CODE XREF: sub_2E678+A2
                mov.l   @(0x13C,pc), r10 ! [0002E860] = unk_FFFF8A10
                mov.w   @r10, r10
                extu.w  r10, r10
                tst     r8, r10
                bt      loc_2E732
                mov.l   @(0xE8,pc), r10 ! [0002E818] = sub_32780
                jsr     @r10 ! sub_32780
                nop
Honestly, I think it's probably just easier for folks who need this to just NOP the jsr to the test routine, and call it a day, unless tephra's going to include this as a tweakable item.

So, to summarize so far, here's a minimal addition for your XML:

96530006:
Code:
<table name="Rear O2 Heater Patch" category="Mods" address="2c62a" type="1D" scaling="Hex16" />
96940011:
Code:
<table name="Rear O2 Heater Patch" category="Mods" address="2e72e" type="1D" scaling="Hex16" />
88590015:
Code:
<table name="Rear O2 Heater Patch" category="Mods" address="2db04" type="1D" scaling="Hex16" />
94170015:
Code:
<table name="Rear O2 Heater Patch" category="Mods" address="2c48e" type="1D" scaling="Hex16" />
Open up the ROM, navigate to the "Mods" section, change "Rear O2 Heater Patch" from "4A0B" to "0009", and you should no longer throw a rear O2 heater code. Change it back to get your CEL back.

EDIT: I originally posted a typo in the address for 96940011.

I can easily unplug mine though if he can't

I have a local guy here that would most likley let me try it on his car. I would just unplug the O2 and install the patch. I will have to check his availability today.

If you are reasonably confident in it I can unplug within the next week (man, next weekend is going to be busy with sports ! ). I'll keep an eye on the thread if no one else volunteers, but feel free to post/pm/email it to me so I can fire it up if I have a minute....

Its good to have someone to discuss things with. :-) When I have time, I want to go back and look at how those O2 heater status bits are set. I also want to try to figure out the IO stuff you showed me.

I'm still undecided about exactly how I'll implement the patch, so I need someone who doesn't mind having their rear O2 heater unplugged for a few days. It would be better to have someone who has already removed the rear O2 sensor because unplugging the O2 sensor without removing it will damage it pretty quickly.

If you end up needing a candidate for VIII testing, my rear O2 is out and the resistor is plug-n-play, so I can test without a lot of fuss.

Kracka and I can do it. He's running the resister 'patch' (LOL) but it can easily be unhooked, as we wired his wideband and resister box in through the factory connector.

It should be a very simple patch, so I'm hoping that tephra will add it to his upcoming ROM update. ;-)

I could do it, but for EDM 88840017... I have WB in place of rear O2, no heater and tephra v5.5 with rear O2 sim patch.

Fantastic! email me as well. I can test it on roseys car (has a bad heater circuit in stock rear o2, so he's an ideal candidate! )

chris at snowsecurity.com. I have his latest rom on my laptop, I'll shoot it to ya.

Pretty sure I have Rosey's current ROM since I made a few changes to his car not too long ago; I'll include his in my email as well.
