F1 Setup Help

I recently had the TCU on my '02 360 remapped with a Challenge Stradale TCU and I've been unsuccessful setting it up using an X431. My original map was too old to be read, so I have no idea what the original values were. I hope someone can advise.

I think I have to set up clutch configuration and PIS. I've attempted to set the clutch configuration to the Self Calibrated Clutch Closed Position. After doing so, it reads what I inputted when the 360 is on with motor off (18.42). However, it reads a different value when the motor is running (8.23). I've tried inputting different values with the motor on and off, but I still read a clutch configuration around 8 with the motor running.

Setting the PIS doesn't seem to change clutch engagement. I've set it as low as 4.3 and as high as 5.0, and the clutch won't hold on a slight incline.

Does anyone have any advice?

 

Roger that. I've noticed that clutch configuration readings change when I'm in neutral or 1st gear. I've inputted the Self Calibrated Clutch Closed Position distance into Clutch Configuration when in 1st gear. Although I input 18.42, it won't read higher than 11.06. When I input PIS down to 4.0, the 360 will move in 1st and reverse, but only when RPMs reach 2,500; and even then won't hold at an incline.

Obviously, I know little about the F1. It seems to me that the Clutch Closed Position is off. The x431 seems to only have write options for Clutch Configuration and PIS, so I'm assuming that "Clutch Configuration" is synonymous with Clutch Closed Position.

So, my questions:
1. Will the X431 write Clutch Closed Position data? Is it in the "Clutch Configuration" window? Should it be the same or similar to "Self Calibrated Clutch Closed Position"?
2. Can I safely input a PIS lower than 4.0?
3. Is it likely that my problems stem from the TCU flash, or is it the F1 setup?

My deep appreciation to anyone who can provide assistance.

BTW Rifledriver, I'm curious if your handle reflects a past history as a Tanker?

 

Thank you Ferrari Tech, eric355, and windsock for the benefit of your experience. Despite your best help, I'm afraid that I've left my poor 360 in worse shape than it was yesterday. It currently has x431 TCU fault codes P0715 (Gearbox Input Revolutions) and P0720 (Gearbox Output Revolutions). The faults return after clearing, and the shifter doesn't work with the faults active. Can anyone guess what these faults indicate?

This is what led up to these faults: I reset the clutch position to 14.98, the clutch closed position setting the TCU came with, and gradually lowered the PIS to 3.87; the setting that allowed me to back up at 2,000 RPMs. I backed down my driveway with a slight decline, but when I applied throttle at the bottom, the car bucked and stalled. I restarted, placed it in 1st and it bucked again. I then reset the PIS to 4.0, but the car wouldn't move. I checked and found the faults mentioned.

I've had the 360 up on jack stands for the last month. It was running properly before then. I indicate below what I've done since then. The clutch and throwout bearing has 8,177 miles since replacement. What action do you suppose has lead to this state? Could air in the clutch line cause this?

1. Reinstalled remapped TCU with CS
2. Replaced clutch block with Hill Eng unit
3. Replaced F1 fluid with Ravenol GHA
4. Bled the power unit, clutch block, and actuator (removed and reinstalled potentiometer on side of actuator)
5. Removed and replaced heat exchanger
6. Replaced all fluids

 

I'll do it, though the connection is pretty idiot proof.

I did it because I'm a stupid noob. There were two screws holding on the actuator that were difficult to access. The WSM advises removing the catalytic converter, but the nuts/bolts/bracket was so rusted that it would have to be cut. Removing this little sensor made getting access so much easier. I wish I didn't. But, self-learning works, so the potentiometer must be attached correctly, right?

 

First thing on my Ferrari todo list. Thanks.

 

Checked the pins: all looks good. Cleaned them. Ensured connectors easily slid in and connector lock was set. No effect.

I doubt it means anything, but the CCP read 160.88 after I turned on main power and started the engine. It went back to 14.98 right before the F1 failure light came back on. Same fault codes, but this time it stated that the Input Revolutions was present, but the Output revolutions was absent. Perhaps an issue with the Shaft Speed Sensor?
