VEMS: Finding correct channel to control Carbon Valve

[Jonas_R]

Ok,

So I want to use VEMS and to control the carbon canister valve, however is it possible to meassure or find out which channel to use under Misc. Output settings?

I have emailed vems.hu where I bought my ECU from, however they suggested that I should use the female SSC6 connector. Which I would rather not do.

So any suggestions to how I can find the correct channel that controls Pin 5 on the 55pin ECU connector?

Don't understand the question?

If it's the 55pin VEMS it should be on I259 output channel 6 AFAIK

that is what i use as well after instruction from Marc

Note line 5
EC36-17 5 5 5 kék EC36-24 Ignch6 5 Carbon canister frequency valve control OUTPUT N80 white

Bit confused by the 1st post as this is what VEMS.hu would have said?

Well I talked to A80Avant about his settings using the N80 valve, and I believe I was told that it could be a different channel and that I should check with whoever I bought it from.

So I checked with VEMS.hu that then suggested I use the SSC6 connector.

Since I did not like that answer, I decided to ask here. But if it is always channel 6, then I guess there is no problem at all.

i did tell you that, as i wasnt sure it is the same for all ecu setups.

I'm confused by VEMS HU response that is really really bizarre!!

[Jonas_R]

I agree the answer was confusing, that is why I asked here.

Jamo:

Latest reply I got from vems.hu, perhaps it is because I ordered a AAN ECU:

It seems that AAN motronic55/pin5 is not connected by default in
motronic-55 AAN connector boxes, only upon request. It can be assumed
that whoever did that ordered with order comment "please connect
motronic55/pin5 canister-control to a powerful output inside".

If you used up SSC6 outputs, motronic55pin22 "Check Engine Light" CEL is
another non-critical output, connected to EC36/15 but even with a hack,
that might be a bit week to directly control the solenoid. With a
reverse diode across the solenoid to protect from flyback-kicks that
would work.

The SSC6 has 2 powerful IGBT outputs, and for certain, one of them could
control the canister valve instead if connected to motronic55/pin5
inside. And +1 analog input on the SSC6 would be useful.

I forwarded this to developers, and waiting for answer. Hope to have
update on it soon.
