Anyone got a AYC or ACD unit you can send me? my unit did not work with the wiring diagram given.. in fact red and black would have shorted out if I followed the circuit diagrams you gave above.. so be careful. It must be a JDM unit I had with slightly different wiring. I was trying to get the actuator commands from the MUTIII unit, in fact it was a session FAIL yesterday, I couldn't get AYC unit to fire up, and couldn't get the Evo1/2/3 ecus to fire up and talk to the MUTIII unit.

Download -> 401303_4-23-10.zip

Attached update of Evo8 ACD, 401303, definition.

The tables labeled Neutral, are used when the ACD button is depressed, I think so you won't spin out when switching Modes, because of an abrupt change in lockup.

I still need to get a Scaling for Steering Angle.

I have been trying to find how the tables are "added" together, but the math is complex, so it will take some time.

Hopefully including a S-AYC Evo8-9 Ralliart ROM.
I can get access to an Evo 8 and Evo 9 and they both have Ralliart ACD Roms in them.

I have the EcuFlash Beta installed on my laptop and also a OpenPort 2 cable.
All I need now is the info on how to download the Roms off the cars and I can send them to you.

Let me know if u are interested.

Oh and great work all around.

I have searched for plugs today for this ecu, so I thought it would save someone's search.

Don't know if this matters to anyone at all, but there is just one part number for the ACD Control Unit for USDM CT9A Evos, 8631A028.

For European Evo's VII through IX, there are 7 different part numbers depending on year and model. And there are 5 different part numbers for the Japanese models.

Side note, do all RalliArt Flashes disable AYC? I personally have AYC on my heavily tracked Evo VII and have had no issues related to unpredictability or reliability concerns and I would love to have pushbutton selectability change balance from oversteer to understeer depending on track conditions, that would be a game changer in Time Attack.

acamus, quick question for the wiki (I've updated the connectors page with part numbers). I don't have the ACD ECU in my hands right now, so can't check the plug: do we know which pins are large (power) and small (signal) (or are they all the same size pin)? Or better yet, does someone have a good picture of the plug-side of the ACD ECU that would show off pin sizes properly?

(Edit: nevermind, it looks like Hamish has a good picture here. 10 large/power pins for the 26-pin connector, 6 for the 22-pin.)

The pin part numbers I've found are:

MX5-SG-C1-5000 (small, signal)
MX5-PW-C0-4000 (large, power)

And, for the archives (in case those PDFs go away at some point), the connector part numbers are:

MX5-E-22S-C-N (22-pin plug)
MX5-E-26S-C-N (26-pin plug)

Also, looks like none of the usual suspects over here in the U.S. carry the MX5-E connectors (DigiKey, Mouser, and Newark are the ones I checked), and the connectors aren't available as samples from JAE (but the pins are). :P Some of the other MX5 connectors are stocked, though (MX5 and MX5-A), and JAE lists them all as "active".

I should put together a pinout page on the wiki for the ACD ECU to go with the main ECU pinout pages; maybe I'll spend a little time tonight going through the FSM and cross-referencing with Hamish's list a few posts up.

Hmm. Hamish's picture shows a 26- and 22-pin connector for the ACD+AYC ECU, but the diagram below shows a 16-pin connector instead of the 22-pin. I'm guessing it's a w/AYC vs. without AYC difference? (I also don't have my FSM in front of me. I'll have to check this tonight.)

Ralliart has made one 'circuit/ track' version of the ACD/AYC ECU. (part# ra168749C1)
I use it on my track only evo IX with great success in terms of improved lap time vs the OEM acd ecu.
it has 3 mode : dry track - slippery track - wet track

Alain....are you sure that your ACD is not set like this:

tarmac = dry
gravel = semi-wet
snow = full wet

As far that I know....this is the setup in your RA ACD for evo with AYC.

Did you menage to read this ACD?

Cheers

I'd like a copy of that C1 rom for testing.

Alain,
After doing a bit of research, that particular ACD Computer does not appear to be compatible with the Evo VII.... would love to see the rom!
