Tte Compressor Piggy-back Ecu

[petejenkin]

I think my little black ECU for the TTE Charger is duff

When it is wired in, I get warning lights illuminating in the dash-display. The TRC OFF Light flashes and the main engine warning light is illuminated. The wiring has been checked and double checked, all connections are good (soldered), and the main ECU has been re-set just to make sure.

Are there any test procedures that I coould perform with the TTE ECU, like with a multimeter etc.

I seem to think its a duff one, so how much is a new one gonna cost me if this is the case??

Gonna need it quick though, the car is in for engine change today/tommorow.

Plus, is it safe to drive the car gently without the TTE ECU installed??

But then you have to make sure that the bypass will stay open?

if its the silver ecu, it will display its own fault codes on the led's.

Dealers do not have the facility to check the ECu , however if you contact TTE they will send you a good one, aslong as you send them the "Faulty" one. if however they find the fault is caused by neglect, they will ask for purchase.

I dont mind buying one if I have to. Whats the difference between the black and the silver. Does it monitor/control other things. Are they expensive to buy Mat?

I dont have a contact number anymore for TTE, Ive lost it. Any chance you could PM the number and contact name to me please.

nope, the supercharger is not turning, no pressure will be in the system no need for the bypass to be open or closed, air will go thru the output port of the supercharger anyway.

the silver ECU lowers the RPM by about 50 to prevent the ignition cut thus preventing damage to the pre cats also stores fault codes etc think it was about £300 ish

the black one doesnt log or drop the RPMs just tells the ECU to see a +ve pressure.

sorry mate , was asking tdi about the diff configs

[tdiplc]

If you do need to buy a different one it could be worth considering the HKS version which is much better quality (never seen one fail yet), and has an adjustable cut point.
