SPS3

[Molotov]

Can't find any good information about this...

How do I upload new settings?
I've tried the following procedures..

1
set it to mode 4 (high boost) then setting *
key in ignition turned to "on" position
plug sps into port
single beep occurs
remove sps3 and start car

2
set it to mode 4 (high boost) then setting *
key in ignition turned to "on" position
plug sps into port
single beep occurs
remove sps3, key off, then start car

3
set it to mode 4 (high boost) then setting *
key in ignition turned to "on" position
plug sps into port
single beep occurs
key off, key on
remove sps3 and start car

4
set it to mode 4 (high boost) then setting *
key in ignition turned to "on" position
plug sps into port
single beep occurs
key off, key on, key off again
remove sps3 and start car

Think somebody sold me a defective one or am I just an idiot

did you just buy the sps3? because you need to be flashed as well the sps is only for going throough pre-set programs but if your not flashed it wont do anything

check sig

Boost is mode 3. Timing is mode 5. Didn't it come with an owner's manual?

To get the settings uploaded:
-turn the key to the on position
-plug in the sps3
-turn the car off after it beeps, I usually wait for it to beep 3 times
-remove the sps3

alright thanks, the instructions I got in the box said nothing about waiting 10 seconds, that's probably my problem

[Molotov]

ps, the instructions also said mode 3 was low boost and mode 4 was high boost, I had been changing them both to 8 as I didn't know why there were two boost settings.. so that's not the initial problem with what I've been doing.

[Molotov]

so a little update. Went out on my lunch break and tried the anti theft (mode 8). the car stalled out almost immediately on startup, proving that the sps works, turned anti theft off and it started up fine.

NOW - I've used mode 2 to turn on performance mode, and set b to 8 and t to 4 the same way that I had turned on and off antitheft... it made no difference, boost spiked at 19psi still (could actually be a boost leak, doing more logs tonight)


Is there any way in hell to see the t and b settings in the ecu with vagcom?

Mode 2 is only needed to use performance mode if you had previously switched to valet or stock mode.

You can log block 115 to see the requested vs actual boost. Log block 003 to check the timing and 020 for correction factors.

[Molotov]

yup thanks, gotta wait until tonight for logs. I'm hoping to be able to get blocks 003, 020, 115, 031, 032(?), and what the hell why not 001 again. VERMONT SUCKS FOR LOGGING DATA

//edit.. i tried mode 2, because theoretically ecode could have set sps to inactive?

[starfriend]

hi molotov, did you ever figure this out? :)

[Molotov]

yeah, I saw your thread where you were having problems. You have the sps select plus though right? With the sps 3 I just had to key to accessories for 10 seconds, then insert for several beeps, then take the key out for 10 seconds before starting the car. Don't have a clue if there's a difference between the sps's

[starfriend]

got the plus yeah, and i have a thread going on :) oh.. well i do those steps aswell.. damnit i cannot for the life of me figure out wtf is going on ;)
