It could even have common probs like error code 1043. Hopefully it will be made sticky.Quadie do you know if I would be able to find what my low speed and hi speed fan cut in temps are from the xcal 3 using livelink??

Then goes on to tell me check my connections, try retarting livelink.Did you come across this aswell? Cant seem to get into any info on the car either like the processor id as the same fault comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroozin Menace Donating Members 1,990 Member For: 13y 9m 8d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 24/09/11 12:05 PM Author Share Posted 24/09/11 12:05 PM I also have an xcal 2 aswell.. I had to switch to the xcal3 when I changed tuners as the factory tune was gone on my xcal 2 and it kept coming up with errors when he tried to upload the new tune.Ended buying a new xcal 3 and a tune from ford and it was all good to tune from there...Anyways I probly should try n stick with the xcal 3 but is it worth giving my xcal 2 a shot?Is it likely my car will get confused or some rubbish and leave me stranded?Nonetheless I'm sure we are both missing a step or something silly that is blocking us out..Anyhow, I went for a 15min drive using the xcal3 to monitor seems to work well. After converting my coolant temps were around 73dgrees (I have a 72degree tstat) and the iat was sitting around 20degrees just cruising along.Here is why I wanted to see what the cut in temps are set at.. ( I have a 72degree tstat)Pulled over and let it heat up I held 1500-2000rpm (for like 3 min) until the coolant temp came up to 98degrees C.Still no high speed cut in from the fans..The only way I can get the high speed fan to kick in (you can hear when they come on) is by having the AC on flat stick freezing for a while while im parked and idling .It used to come on before this far up the needle range I think it was around 1/4 to 1/2 way and they'd kick in..I have spoken to my tuner and he assures me he would have done the fan cut in temps when he tuned it.
