Proven, Unbeatable Accuracy in All Automotive Braking Tests SPEEDBOX-INS and CATS-INS Brake Testing CATS-INS Integrated testing system harnessing of the independently proven, unbeatable accuracy of the SPEEDBOX-INS alongside the dependable DL2 data logger and DASH4PRO display. Set up tests, view and review live results on the DASH4PRO display. <2cm error for 100 to 0 km/h braking tests Compact and quick to install 200Hz measurements from SPEEDBOX-INS 0.08 degrees yaw, 0.04 degrees roll and pitch accuracy Tactical grade IMU ensures no outages even with challenging GPS conditions SPEEDBOX-INS outperforms all GPS only systems in braking tests. The combined GPS and inertial sensors overcome the speed overshoot problems seen with all GPS only systems. The speed difference between the roof mounted antenna of a GPS only system and the speed at the centre of gravity = a trigger time difference of 0.0187 seconds, which at the 100km/h trigger speed = a distance of 0.519m.

Speed Density Tuned The Challenge: (accepted) Mass Air Flow Sensor calibration. Open Loop and Closed Loop fuel maps. ECU sees true reading of oxygen combustion. The Result: Long Term Fuel Trim (LTFT) ratios within OEM specifications. Free safe power made. Fact. OEM ECU’s use algorithms to detect/prevent detonation. In milliseconds your vehicles ECU takes preventative measures. This failsafe technology was introduced by OEMs in the calibration of their ECU’s.

Did you know that signal conditioning circuits can drastically improve vehicle sensor accuracy? Here's how..." In modern vehicles, sensors are essential for efficient operation, from monitoring engine performance to ensuring passenger safety. However, the raw signals that the sensors generate are often noisy or too weak for the vehicle's ECU to process accurately. That’s where signal conditioning circuits come into play! These circuits enhance the sensor output by Amplifying Weak Signals Using operational amplifiers (op-amps), the circuit boosts low-voltage signals to usable levels. Filtering Noise Filters (low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass) remove unwanted electrical noise, ensuring clean data transmission. Scaling Voltage Levels: Adapts the sensor signal to match the input requirements of the ECU, preventing errors or damage. For example, in an oxygen sensor (O2 sensor), signal conditioning ensures precise readings of exhaust gases, helping optimize the fuel-air mixture and improve fuel efficiency. These circuits are the unsung heroes behind accurate diagnostics and smooth vehicle operation! 🚗💡 Let me know if you're curious about how they’re implemented or how they can be optimized for specific automotive applications. I'm happy to share more insights!

Telematics alone isn’t enough. Telematics has limitations when it comes to controlling the core functions of the electric vehicle. OEMs must add a VCU in addition to their vehicle architectures. VCU leverages AI, Machine Learning (ML), and Big Data to anticipate and prevent issues before they arise. For example, VCU's AI/ML can detect a pattern of overheating batteries at specific locations and times under certain speed conditions. The model then proactively simulates different speed adjustments to identify the optimal strategy for lowering battery temperatures.

🔍 P1720 Code: Vehicle Speed Sensor Alert! The P1720 code points to an issue with the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), crucial for managing speed-related functions like shifting and cruise control. This code may be triggered by a faulty sensor, damaged wiring, or a connection issue, impacting both performance and fuel efficiency. Inspect the VSS and wiring to restore optimal performance. 🚗 Ever encountered this code? Let us know your fix! https://lnkd.in/gUgZyevc #CarDiagnostics #P1720

Using advanced diagnostic tools is a must on new vehicles. In this video, I was diagnosing a Mazda CX-5 with an intermittent check engine light which was causing poor performance on the vehicle. The fault code was for the coolant sensor. Loose connections were found to be the cause as can be seen as I shook the wiring harness, the temperature reading was going into negative numbers instead of reading a constant 36°c as the normal temperature of the engine at that time.
