Yes, even if you max out the tables. You will still throw a code, there has to be another DTC you can disable to prevent this from happening. However, the code is not yet discovered or released. I can throw that code on the stock turbo if I boost to 30 psi.

 

Hmm, yea i was getting this a lot with the stocker running 31psi but now that he adjusted the tables I still don't get it all the time, even when i hit above 30psi.

 

I have a feeling this has a lot to do with it. I've only popped the ASC light with very high loads, and it's only the ASC light that comes on, no Check Engine Light and no code to read. I'm convinced it has nothing to do with airflow/torque limit tables like everyone seems to think. With those tables set too high or too low, you get a CEL with a code. The ASC disabling itself is independent from that.

There's got to be something the ASC gets information from, whether it be boost (load), torque or whatever, and when it sees too much of something, the ASC decides it needs to disable itself for protection.

 

Tephra already said that the ECU sends Boost to the combo meter.

 

I will ask the dude who has a lot of training on this from Mitsu if he ever answers his phone as well.

 

Right but there are people running over 30psi on bigger turbos without problems, but then others are popping the ASC light at 29psi. So the question is, why and when does the ASC think it needs to disable itself?

 

I think it has to be load based because i get it randomly. It seems i get it a lot more in 4th/5th for sure, when going up a slight incline (I don't think I ever get it on an entrance ramp) or when doing anything from a low rpm where the turbo isn't spooled yet.

 

That's what I'm thinking also. The only time I've seen it is at full boost/peak torque in 3rd or 4th gear when doing datalog pulls.

 

mines doin the same thing 3rd and 4th gear pulls only under peak load. ive datalogged 31 psi in 3rd gear, just wanted to relative info.

 

asc is gay anyway

 

Hi,

I had the sam problem when I was playing with Brisk Silver spark plugs. They were fine under partial load, but under WOT they always lit the ASC OFF. After I have taken them away, everything is fine.

 

I'm completely stock and i get this all the time. like everyone says, it goes away right as you turn the car off then back on. wish i knew what causes this.

 

It does even with ASC completely diabled... you know that fool =p

 

I tried on the way to work today, still got it with the ASC off, however not completely off like hold for 3 seconds off.

I will try that on the way home from work.

 

It doesn't matter if you ASC on, 3 seconds or fully off, it will come on if you over boost.
