ts3 indicators not working when connected to ecu

Post by kaeman »

I am upgraded to 2.9.110 as of today, tuning works well, and shuts of when commanded, with data logging and ve analyze all working and gauges reading the indicator panel at the bottom of the gauge screen doesn't show anything, the not synced light is red and all the other indicators are white. but the gauges are reading and the engine is running and the data logging is working.

Interesting, I had 1 other person with somethings similar. They said it was only on 1 dashboard that it would do this, the others worked.

Also on the dash that didn't do it, it would start working if you went into designer mode then back out.

He sent his dash for me to try to reproduce it. Perhaps if you can post yours also.

I am going to attach the file called dashboard.dash. I hope that is the file you are wanting, if not let me know which one you need. I have been using the same dash for quite some time, and it has always worked in the past, is there some setting I might have changed by accident that would cause the indicators to turn off. the indicators were working with 2.9.108, but quit with 2.9.110.

I'm getting this on dashes produced by TS 2.6.x. Usually loading the default dash solves the problem, albeit I have to redesign it as I want to.

I have been able to reproduce this. It seems repaint isn't getting called after the indicator state changes. Re-sizing the TS windows makes them display correctly.

I upgraded to tuner studio 2.9.112 last night, I will be working on my vehicle in the next couple of days, would upgrading to the latest version of the firmware 1.4 ( I'm using 1.3.4) help with any of the problems I have been experiencing? Or should I stick with the firmware I have until we get the problems in tuner studio 3 cleared up.

Just the indicators and such, the auto tuning is turning off when I click stop now. I am planning on doing some tuning this weekend so I will be able to give some better feedback on the features.

I connected to the ecu and fired up the engine, all indicators and gauges working correctly, TS version 2.9.113 without resizing the screen.
