12v or 5 volt

Post by colby8100 »

I'm trying to arm my nitrous. I have digital frequency in 1 to turn it on. Do I need a 12v or 5 v to it. It's on ms3pro

Check the Pro manual. Page 10. Digital I/O's are ground switched where the single digital switched 12v in would be used for triggering pro with nitrous 12v positive

I thought it was a ground input but when I tried it,it didn't turn on the indicator. So I read the manual and it pretty much says there is only 1 12v input. My 12v input is on my trans brake for launch control. Maybe it was a bad ground I'll try again tomorrow

Was the engine running? Some of the switched table stuff doesn't work unless it sees rpm. I found this out setting up launch control

I can't remember I'll check again tomorrow. I just found a few issues in my data log. The voltage I'm seeing and the voltage the ecu is seeing is different. Then when I parked it my turbo feed line busted and I have a slight fuel drip from the an fitting. I'll ground it better tomorrow and see what happens. But under the ? in tuner studio it says expects a 12v signal

Page 212 in the manual. Recommends the 12v in to simplify wiring. If using the others ground switch should be it. I'm using digital input for LC and ground works
