Hi All,
I have made some updates to the web site that hosts the digifant tool.
http://taos.midwest.net/vw They include a diagnostic aid / fact sheet
for using the digifant tool with normal voltage readings. A picture of the
digifant tool enclosed in a 4x6x2 inch black box. A wiring diagram. Many,
many have been asking for a wiring diagram. I also, with helpful question
/ dialog with Bill Dummitt from STL, made a wiring change so the throttle
switch LED is lit when the switch is made. I had originally used negative
logic for the switch and finally saw the light / LED.
This tool makes digifant problem analysis so much easier. I can't stress
this enough. If your temp2 sensor is suspect it is so easy to use a meter
to check its operating voltage. The various digifant sensors / devices /
can be tested dynamically for normal operation or anomalies . The AFM
wiper , Temp 1 , and oxygen sensor are similarly a piece of cake to
diagnosis. The 6 LEDs do a good job of indicating the status of digital
controls , switches , etc. The parts cost are between $20-$30 from your
FLEPS (friendly local electronic parts store) . I prefer you have the
pleasure of making your own digifant tool. However if you desire to buy
one ready to go I will make it a few for around $50. Thanks for your
interest.
