Complete Installation Manual

New firmware and software V1.7 for sensor manufactured after 08.04.2024 download link

For sensors manufactured before 08/04/2024  please use  old software versions form Archive tab above.

Important information:
For sensors purchased before 08/04/2024, I do not recommend updating the firmware of a sensor you just got from post office. Configure it with the firmware it came with, make sure that everything works correctly and only then proceed with the update.
For sensors manufactured between 13/06/2022 and 12/12/2024 use 16MHz firmware.
Please read these notes before upgrading:

In the firmware versions 1.6, 1.7 and newer, the sleep mode in sensors is disabled. Therefore the sensor cannot be powered directly from the battery! Although this option of power supply is shown in the videos below, it worked only in older firmware. For power supply use only the ignition coil power wire or other circuit powered from the ignition switch, where power appears and disappears with the turn of the ingition  switch. 

I would also like to draw your attention to the fact that the video below and on my youtube channel provides information on installing and configuring sensors with older firmware. Although the general principles in the new firmware and software have not changed much and correspond to what is shown in the videos, there are still some subtleties and differences, which are described below in the text (which I constantly update with the release of new firmware). So I strongly recommend not to be lazy and read it.

Here is a simplified video tutorial about installation of this sensor

Text version of the instructions:
So you have purchased the sensor and are ready to install it.
First we will describe the process of installing and configuring the sensor manually (without using Bluetooth), and then we will consider installing and configuring the sensor using Bluetooth and special software.

And we will start with the sensor pinout

Here is  a pinout :
1– Output  signal as  track #1 on genuine TPS
2– Output signal as  track #2 on genuine TPS
AT-Output signal for automatic transaxle ECU
O2/REF – Input signal   of reference voltage 5V or oxygen sensor signal ( for test )
GND – ground
12V – supply voltage

Ok. Now lets look at the connection diagrams

For sensors manufactured after 08/04/2024 you don’t need to connect red wire” Ref” to the genuine connector. You can  use “Ref” input for monitoring oxygen sensor signal, or don’t connect it at all.
On the schematic above you can see TPS with blue wago type connector, dont worry about it  – it was on previous version. But for clear  connection view  this  picture will be the best, because pinout is same .

Attention!!!
The diagrams show the pinout of the socket with wiring (not the part that protrudes from the genuine TPS), as if you look at it from the side of the contact holes!

Depending on transaxle type , there culd be  two  differet TPS connectors  and  corresponding connection diagrams( see pic above).
To find  numeration of pins of  genuine connector all you need is  to turn inginion on and find reference voltage(5v) with a multimeter.
Nothing difficult.
If you have questions – feel free to ask in  discussion tab.

To connect new connector to vehicle wiring you can use:
-Butt connecor like this

-scotchlok splices like this

-or soldering

 You can cut genuine TPS connector from vehicle’s wiring and install new one included in kit. And from other new one and  old genuine connector you can make an adapter for genuine TPS  and with  this solution you can connect  both TPSs to  vehicle wiring as you wish and as you need.

From what point it will be better to take supply voltage12V?
The 12V  power supply should appear when the ignition key  is turned on, and disappear when turned off. Under the  hood you can take it from supply wire of the ignition coil. If something unclear  or you don’t have schematics- please write  to me and I’ll help you.

Calibration and configuration of the sensor via the application

When using the Bluetooth module and the app, calibration must be performed with the throttle fully open. Therefore, before starting the calibration, make sure that the throttle pedal cable is properly tensioned and the throttle is fully open when the pedal is pressed to the floor. Otherwise, the calibration will be incorrect and you will not get normal engine operation. If you are not sure that the throttle cable is properly tightened and there is no partner around, open the throttle manually by the lever all the way to the stop, start calibration, and wait till it ends.

1. Install the bluetooth module into the connector on the sensor.
   Orient on the GND pin – these pins must match on both the module and the sensor.
   The RX-TX pins will be cross-connected.
   To avoid losing the module during test drives, use a piece of twine, one end of which should be tied to some tube or bracket, and the other end to the Bluetooth module.
2. Add the Bluetooth module to the device list.
   When searching, you will see two devices BLE-33 and SPP-33.
   Only SPP-33 (password 1234) should be added.
   Do not add BLE-33! And if you have added it before – remove it from the list of devices, otherwise there will be no connection.
3. Turn on the ignition, start the application, give all the permissions requested by the program and then click twice on the bluetooth icon and wait for the program to connect to the sensor.
4. Click on the sensor image and the calibration menu will appear.
   In the calibration menu select calibration with the throttle fully open.
   Open the throttle all the way, press the calibration button and wait for the calibration to complete.

   

5. When the calibration is complete, select the “New Standard” settings from the list and write them to memory.
   
6. Start the dashboard and by changing the alpha angle, set the sensor is to exactly 88 degrees with the throttle fully open. After that stop the instrument panel and record the alpha angle position in the memory.
   
7. Then it is necessary to make a test drive and see how everything works.
   Then reduce the alpha angle by 0.5 degrees (at fully open throttle the sensor angle will be 87.5 degrees), save in memory and make another test drive.
   Then similarly increase the alpha angle by 0.5 degrees from the original, so that at fully open throttle the angle was 88.5 degrees and also make a test drive.
   Based on the results of the tests, we decide where to turn the sensor further.
   If the thrust is reduced, we turn the angle down in steps of 0.5 degrees.
   If, on the contrary, detonation or vibration is observed and there is no elasticity when shifting gears, we turn the alpha towards increasing the angle.
8. Thus, for several trips you need to test the angles in the range of +/-2 degrees from the initial (88 degrees) with a step of 0.5 degrees.
   After you have found the optimal one, from it you test the angles in both directions (within +/-0.5 degrees) in 0.2 degree increments.
9. At the last step you need to test values +/- 0.1 degrees from the angle obtained in the previous step.
   After that the adjustment can be considered as completed. Do not forget to save the alpha angle in the memory before turning off the ignition (if you have changed this angle).

Vehicles with automatic transmission – AT output settings

On VAG you will need to use a vagcom to relearn AT ECU for new TPS in basic settings mode.
In case of inadequate gear shifting on standard settings,
please send a request with a detailed description of the problem to our email to get access to advanced AT output settings. After that I will give you access to individual AT output settings.
