Sorted now, sat in the car until 2am, it wasn't going to beat me! By accident I realised that the tool will only read BECM with ignition off whereas Engine needs to be running for comms and just ignition on for HEVAC testing? Nothing about this...

I assume you tried deleting 1&2 and put the codes in 7&8, and then clicked save ? There is a way to factory reset it. Download the latest 1.37 firmware and run it on a windows laptop. Connect the Nanocom, and when it shows "device attached"...

Got it sorted now, what a palaver?

Yes it took me a while to figure out you needed to put the codes in the correct numbered boxes :(

I popped out tonight to have a play, deleted 1 & 2 which then kept coming back so replaced them with the original ?????, not sure if that is correct way to delete? Still showing as locked out. Going to check the obd2 connector in the morning with...

Just checked the on-line site..... should have been boxes 7 and 8, will have another crack at it in the morning, too bloody complicated for my simple head!

Diesel. First two boxes.

What engine do you have ? Also which box did you put the codes in ? Another possibility is when Blackbox created you codes, they made a typo in the system !! (It has happened before, although rarely.) Go to the Nanocom ID option in your...

SD card is for data capture, not needed to get it workng.

I suggest checking with the guys at BBS either using they web contact page or the Nanocom forum. Which codes did you purchase ? If you login online it should confirm which vehicle the codes are for. You should have an engine specific code...

I have two codes...... Engine and other ECU's. Went on BBS website to confirm sign up details, pin etc.. Will drop them a line. Did all the upper/lower sh1te quite a few times. Codes stored OK on the tool and in section 1 and 2 as first time use...

Hiya Peeps! Ongoing.... how the fook do you set a Nanocom tool up? I am feeling like a right plumb, read the vague destructions, watched the limited vids and followed it all to the letter, FUNCTION LOCKED!? I have gone on-line, imputed User ID...

It is for two, one is a 96 with 89k and the better one cosmetically is a 99 189k with hot start issue. The chap is a diesel mechanic and thought a leaking pump was a simple fix on the P38 but it turned into a can of worms for him, so he put it...

I am a lazy chap, takes me a few cuppas and a pack of biscuits before I start a job, I also look at the easiest way to do it. I needed to replace a broken privacy lock thingy on my driver's door handle.... the retaining pin is easily drilled out...

So chappy turned up with the Nanocom reader yesterday. No luck, later found out after some googling that the tool needs the access code, doh! So he is back next weekend. If anyone is interested he has a couple of P38 diesels for sale listed on fb...

BTW the screenshot above is just the default values in Nanocom Emulator as an example - - not a real car !!

The calibration settings are not always 128, there are several variations on my project car. I have never tried altering the settings as I can find no information on what each field does and I have nt got the time to play trial and error. The...

The idle speed figure is normally 128.

You need to do the full RAVE procedure.

Digital Volt Meter. Set to ohms ignition off, connect across the glow plug terminal and the block, an infinity reading indicates an open circuit glow plug. If replacing them, do not buy cheapos. they do not work. BERU, NGK Delphi or a similar...

Seems a universal agreement, don't buy cheap glow plugs! Thanks for the email and attachments. I might just be too fussy about the hesitation on starting and more grateful that it starts? I am getting used to the relaxed forward motion and to be...

It's not that bad really, you do need a helper to keep the fluid topped up and to work the pedal. The bleed nipple on the master nearest the bulkhead is semi buried in the insulation and a bit awkward to get at but popping the header tank out of...

Yep, all the vids I have watched are on LHD vehicles.... that looks easy enough.... ah, not so easy for RHD, doh!

Here I go off topic... again! I want to flush my brake fluid, do I need to go through the pain of bleeding the abs pump and the little dance routine needed or just bleed the brakes like any other vehicle. I am not removing any lines or caliper...

Voltage meter?

What is DVM?

Can you test the glow plugs with Nanocom? My P38 takes about 15 secs of cranking when cold to start, I do double cycle the glow plugs, starts instantly when warm/hot?

Plus one on modulation before you do anything else, I lowered the idle on my P38 when I had it from memory it's just a case of lowering the number in the idle speed box.

Yep, noticed on the Black Box vid that the calibration numbers don't seem to relate to rpms? As in pwood999 post 128?

We have been in contacted for a few months, I will drop him a line.
