sometimes the intercooler washing light is flashing. why?

thanks

 

mine comes on, on occasion during boost. It doesn't flash, just comes on and stays on until I let out of the throttle. It's on a rare occasion, and I can't pin it to anything like knock retard, boost level or any other parameter I've logged.

 

i think of it as the oh **** light, cause when i hit boost i always go OH ****! LOL

 

maybe its about knock?

 

my did that today for the first time. I was wondering the same thing.

 

I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's a configurable output. I have no idea which one it is, as I don't have my tune on this computer, but I remember that is where I turned it off from.

I assume it is to run the IC sprayer setup, but that's just pulling an answer out of my butt.

 

We were experiencing this when tuning my aem a coupld nights ago. Under high load or boost and high rpm, my intercooler sprayer would activate on its own and spray all over the place. I ended up just draining it. I would like to know why it does this though. I could not find a vacuum source to it either so it is solely activated via power wires.

According to the manual, IC sprayer is the Idle7 output, and the light is Injector 10 output.

so, if you go to "options" -> "configure outputs"

select idle7/8. You'll see it should be set for:

coolant:100
load:15psi
rpm: 3500
TPS:89.84 or so
road spd: 25mph

just uncheck the box next to "active" under the "basic activation" category.

I would also take the time to name that "I/C sprayer" in case you need to revisit it.

That will take care of the sprayer itself, as for the sprayer light:

The instructions call it "injector10" but it's labeled "Fuel10" in AEMPro.

The parameters should be the same as the first one, just uncheck it and rename it "IClight"


I'm pretty sure that's how I did it, it's been at least a year. I would warm it up, take it for a spin and give it the beans one good time in 3rd. Have a buddy verify that it starts blinking around 15psi. make the changes, then try it again. This should fix it.

Lemme know if this helps, if it does I'll clean it up, add some pictures of the program and do a writeup on it.
