  SPEED LIMIT according to posted sign.
Posted by: IMAY2023 - 03-03-2023, 05:06 AM - Forum: Speed Limit - Replies (17)

There are two settings to get it work. 

036  ADJUSTABLE SPEED LIMITER      03 ASL & AVSL

149  ROAD SIGN INFORMATION   > Select the one with with Speed Limit Adaption (SLA) based on your country. 

This will give you speed limiter option in cruse control settings on the dash and there will be button on SENSUN. If the button on SENSUS is enabled, the speed limiter will be updated according to road signs. If not enabled driver can set any top limit manually.  

There is also setting SPEED WARNING. > do not enable this for US / CAN.  Enabling it breaks the actual over speed driver warning in SENSUS. 0 or +5 miles /hour.

  CEM 4027 - Battery Time in Service
Posted by: Power6 - 03-02-2023, 04:13 PM - Forum: DID - Data Reading by ID - Replies (11)

Hey all, I created some diagnostics forums as more diagnostic stuff is added to OrBit.

Once thing I am looking at, is the "battery replacement" process, which is supposed to essentially reset the "learning" of the capcity and charging behavior of the battery. I have the process, it will be added to OrBit.

What the "battery replacement" does in actuality, is simply reset the "State of Charge" and the "Time in Service" of the battery.

You can already read this data in OrBit, so I've been looking at my car:

   

On my car, the battery "time in service" is 0 days today, and yesterday it was 2 days. I expected that the data would reflect the actual age of the battery (original to my car since 2019). But it doesn't seem to. I do a lot of things on my car though...not clear the battery life, but lots of other testing ;-) It makes me wonder the value of resetting the "battery time in service" if it is getting reset anyways. I will still add it, as it's a function that VIDA does and is supposed to be needed.

But still I am curious..any other OrBit users want to check this on your car, see what your battery time in service reports??

  OrBit Beta v0.3.2 release notes
Posted by: Power6 - 03-02-2023, 02:13 PM - Forum: Releases - No Replies

This is a quick release as I start adding some more diagnostics and service functions.

This should be the first update that folks will get notified the new version is available (since update notifications added in 0.3.1)

"Operation Mode" is added now. The interesting/useful parts of this are:
If a car has gone into "Crash" mode, OrBit can reset it to "Normal"
"Dyno" mode can now be set on the car, for dynamometer testing

Changes:

  • Add "operation mode" read and setting. When connected to the car the current mode will show on a button
  • Clicking the button for operation mode brings up a dialog to choose and set the operation mode
  • Existing service mode for the EPB has been condensed into a single button to be consistent as more service functions are added

  How to troubleshoot unable to connect to the car in OrBit
Posted by: Power6 - 02-25-2023, 08:37 PM - Forum: OrBit How-To Guides - No Replies

**updated Mar 2025**
Modern Volvos/Polestars that OrBit works with all use "DoIP" - Diagnostics over IP connection. Which, for us DIY-ers, is the fancy way to say the connection uses Ethernet, i.e. a wired network port on a computer. Dealers use WiFi connection but us consumers do not have access to that.

The good: The adapters are cheap and all you need is a computer with a common wired network jack. Any Volvo VOE or BMW ENET wired adapter can be used.
The bad: There is no specific hardware like "DiCE", there are thousands of different hardware variations of the common network card, which is subject to all of the "goings on" in Windows to do with drivers and networks.

If OrBit is unable to connect to the car and you see any of the following messages in the screen log in OrBit:

  • NOTE: No car network is detected, trying to connect anyways...
  • No cars found! Check cable, replug OBD connector, or check local firewall blocks OrBit from incoming connections
  • Waiting for the gateway to respond...


Follow the below steps to address some known issues that can cause this problem...

Make sure you are using the correct adapter type!
  • OrBit uses the Volvo VOE type connection. The adapter connects the OBD port in the car to an Ethernet network port in the computer
  • For laptops without and ethernet port, a USB ethernet adapter can be used.
  • Any aftermarket adapter compatible with Volvo VOE or BMW ENET should work fine.


Re-plug the OBD end of the VOE adapter:
  • The car will timeout and disable the connection if a tool (OrBit) is not connected within 5-10 minutes
  • Remove and re-plug the OBD plug to re-activate the connection, then try to connect with OrBit again


...if still unable to connect OrBit, check the car network is present:
  • Click on the network tray icon in Windows, and check that an Ethernet (wired) network is connected
  • The network will usually be named "Unidentified Network" and should also show "No Internet"
  • For tech savvy users, the network adapter should be set to defaults: DHCP and Windows will set an "APIPA" address in the 169.254.x.x range

   



...if you DO find the Ethernet network connected, disable the Windows Defender Firewall temporarily:
  • Disable Firewall for all networks shown as (active)
  • IF you have a 3rd party security or anti-virus software with firewall, you will need to refer to vendor specific info to temporarily disable it.
  • IF you use any VPN software you should close/disable this as well for testing
  • If disabling the Windows Defender Firewall resolves the issue, re-enable the firewall, then uninstall OrBit from Windows control panel, and re-install it. OrBit creates firewall exceptions in Defender when it is installed.
  • If disabling 3rd party security or VPN software resolves the issue, you may need to create an exception to allow OrBit to connect to the car. You will need to refer to vendor specific support and information for this. (Firewall Info: OrBit should have port 13400 TCP+UDP incoming connections allowed, and no restrictions on outgoing traffic from OrBitRun.exe)

   



...if you still cannot connect to the car, or you found NO Ethernet network connected, the issue may be with the car:

For AAOS cars, try resetting the TCAM gateway in the car (skip for Sensus):
  • In the car, push the front defogger button on the climate control, hold for 10-20 secs until the "SOS" button in the overhead console flashes
  • Release the front defogger button
  • Wait a few minutes, try to connect to the car with OrBit
  • If the "SOS" button does not flash when trying the TCAM reset, the TCAM is not responding, move on to the battery reset


...if restarting the gateway does not resolve the problem or for Sensus car, perform a battery reset:
  • Disconnect the negative terminal from the 12V battery
  • Wait a minute
  • Reconnect the negative battery terminal
  • Try to connect again and see if it succeeds


...if you still have trouble connecting:
  • If there is still no "Ethernet" network showing in Windows, there could be a problem with the VOE adapter you have
  • It can be helpful to try with another computer if you have one available
  • It may be neccessary in some extreme cases to totally de-power the TCAM (AAOS) or VCM (Sensus) gateway to restore functionality. The backup battery would need to be unplugged from the module while car power is interrupted. 
  • You may want to contact support-at-spaycetech<dot>com we are happy to try to help you if you still have an issue!

  2WD mode same as Dyno mode?
Posted by: Bi.boosted - 02-24-2023, 11:55 AM - Forum: Engine / Transmission - Replies (9)

Hey all. this weekend i'm gonna do some righteous burnouts. 

But in all seriousness, I have been testing and logging performance upgrades for the JB4 Tuning module. I've got about 3 years and 30,000 miles of data and updates to drop, but I need dyno numbers to give to burger... i haven't been able to get someone with a true rolling road to give me time for something they're not tuning (plus people tend to sneer at volvos) 

Anyway, I'm going to check if an AWD car can truly function in 2WD. If so, we've found a work around to getting the car dyno'd! Here's to good luck!
