Hi all,
My motorcycle came from the factory with a inactive temperature gauge, I would like it to work.
It is digital and located on the bikes main LCD.
It cycles (flashes on) when you turn on the ignition then disappears.
This is normal for my bike, they all do it. The gauge is for the water temp on a 650cc bike that shares the same LCD display. My bike has a 250cc oil cooled engine.
My bike has a temp sensor that goes straight to the ECU and not the temp gauge. its output is 28K Ohm at 0 degC the water cooled
bike is 5.7KOhm.
The gauge will be expecting the resistance range for the 650cc water cooled engine but my range is higher resistance.
I can't change the temp sensor as my ECU is using the resistance range beginning at 28K
Is there a way of shifting a sensors output decreasing the resistance?
rough table: temp I have I want
0 28.7K 5.7K
20 12.2K 2.4K
40 5.7K 1.15K
60 2.8K 0.58K
The two outputs decrease at roughly the same percentage each step so this should be possible I hope.
Any help would be great, thanks!
