compustar 2W900FM-AS problem

thats teh thing, i knew the ebrake was for the reservation mode, so i didnt hook it up at first. until the error displayed (7 flash), i hook up the ebrake and use reservation mode. so what exactly is that loop for? Houston,TX

Older units the loop determines transmission type. Winter of 2005/06 Compustar changed the units so they are programmed a certain way from the factory that couldn't be changed. Its to prevent a customer from taking his manual transmission unit out of manual mode and putting it in automatic mode causing a potential safety concern. I have a feeling they did it to prevent possible lawsuits. I had a few units that still had green loops last winter that you couldn't change the transmission type on. I have a feeling they were shipping units that way for a short period during the changover to preprogrammed units. You may have one of those units. I'm not 100% on all this, I'm just basing this on the 50-75 units my shop used last winter.

alright, i guess that explains it. thanks JWorm, TranHouston,TX

That's good know. I am still cutting the loop north of the broader. The MT and AT sticker on the unit like Jeff said, I still have not seen them yet. Supplier In the GTA must have lots of old inventory remaining.Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.

I have not seen any of these so called MANUAL /AUTO only units here in Canada yet. I'm not sure if we're going to or not, but I haven't seen any ( may only be a US thing ).Jeff
