nope....so its not married to the pcm? or through canbus protocol?

I'll just wait for your how to.thread...

 

You can and do have multiple communication buses on cars. LIN, MOST, 3 CAN speeds all with their own networks. Basically they all talk to each other. You can pull a module out but you electrically have to close the loop before communication will resume.

the type of network it uses tells you how they communicate (language used). You have to pull a network diagram to see who the talk to.

 

Look up "vehicle bus" on wiki

 

here's an interesting video ....they use a jumper wire

 

I really need some time off from work!! My **** is dragging way behind me. Time for another cold beer!!

 

Morning.

 

figured you were retired by now!

 

 

 

 

I still haven't won the powerball yet.

 

you and me both

 

I sure got Derek's (Crash!) panties in a wad last night

 

And here you are, bragging about it.

It seems you relish bashing a Paying, Site-supporting Sponsor and apparently continue to do so with impunity because no one seems to be able to rein you in.

I'ts deplorable, despicable behaviour, TJ - especially from a member as senior as you - that I once admired.

It does NOT matter that Crash may be in error or pedals a particular product - he's got a business to run and is after all, only human.

There are ways to communicate technical corrections and other advice in a positive manner - but you choose not to as it's plain you revel in conflict - particularly with this Vendor/Sponsor.

I purposely have not reported those incidents out of respect for you - but that's going to change - right now. Enough is enough.

Sadly - given recent attempts to have other suggestions implemented, I do NOT expect anything will be done by the administration in this case either.

For shame.

MGD out.

 

I can't believe he doesn't know why they heat the PCV valve. They have only been doing that for what, 17 years now.
