8.4 Tooth / trigger logger and troubleshooting RPM issues 8 TROUBLESHOOTING AND DATA LOGGING
Taking and reviewing a datalog is a required step for troubleshooting this. This datalog extract below (viewed
in Megalogviewer) shows the rpm (yellow trace) dropping to zero and at the same time the "Lost sync count"
increases. The "Lost sync reason" shows reason code 2.
8.4.1 Lost sync numbers
The MS3Pro can report several different lost sync reasons in the data logs. Most of these simply show that there’s
a problem and don’t particularly pinpoint where it is, but some are more specific than others. In particular, if you get
Lost Sync Reason 11 or 17 in a specific RPM band, try changing the ignition input capture and /or second trigger
active edge. Lost sync reason 2 with a VR sensor often means you will need a resistor across the CKP sensor.
