Can anyone help with a definition for JDM 2012 MT ZA1J700A?

I did some research and unfortunately there's very little information available on ZA1J700A. From what I found (http://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/...262/parts.aspx), this ROM is compatible with ZA1JA01A (and possible ZA1JA02A).

I managed to read it using ZA1JA01A definition, however not sure how save this solution would be.

Any advice is highly appreciated.

Reading amd writing is pretty safe as all roms from all countries are same basic size amd flashmethod. However editing is different story defs must match exactly.

If you want to tune the car you might want ro try flashing a A01G from australia\europe their is rearly good definitions for that rom series and its highly likely it will run fine in your car.

If theirs any dramas jist make sure you keep a copy of your A series rom to flash back.

+1. make your life easy, switch to A01G

Thanks man, this is what I thought. Yes, this it is Japanese import, so I think I'll just flash to A02A rom for now (need that fix for DI issue, already replaced the seals once) and will be looking into OFT Stage 1.

Do you guys have any experience using OFT roms with OpenPort 2 cable?

So I've bent my pins in and haven't noticed any connection losses yet I'm still getting a ton of log files during one drive. I have no issues running a Bluetooth odb2 logger with torque but this always has issues. Here's a link to my files from a 30ish minute drive.

I had the same problem on mine. Bending pins didn’t help much either. A heavy rubber band seemed to help. I ended up getting a 6ft extension and ran it into the glovebox so it’s easier to access and it has a solid connection.

Here is the exact cable I ordered:

i only have the trigger for if rpm over 0. I was under the impression that you had to have that otherwise it wouldnt log. the rear defroster trigger is 100% worthless i know that.

Thats strange , ive always run with no triggers, and nothing refering to triggers.

Just either plug in tactrix, or switch power on to it via switched cable when i want to log

If it creates a bunch of log files like that its likely the connection to obd port is intermittent. Try bending both roms of pins inwards, use say an old SD memory card so you keep the pins in straight line, onlt need to bend them vert slightly like 0.5mm or so

Triggers never worked for me either. When no triggers are set it logs at all times. I do however log the defogger switch and use it to tag the parts of the log I am interested. I then use a PowerShell script to extract the parts of the log that have the defogger enabled into individual log files.

Remember to use the pointers/ids from your corresponding calid.

Here you are:

Code:

;-------------FREERUNNERS "ZA1JA01G" CONFIG------------



type = obd

protocolid = 6

mode23txaddrwidth = 4

mode23txlenwidth = 1

mode23rxaddrwidth = 0

sortpids = 1

calcsampinterval = 1000



;debug=noout





;-----------DESCRIPTION--------------------

; Notice that the next 3 parameters have a "sampgroup = X" setting.

; There are 15 sample groups (1 - 15) that you can assign parameters to. 

; Any parameters assigned to a sample group will be alternately logged in a single

; timeslot at a lower speed, the speed being 1 / N that of the sampling interval -

; where N is the number of parameters in the sample group. In this example, these

; 3 parameters will be logged at 1/3 the speed, but will also use 1/3 of the communications

; to the ECU, allowing you to log everything else faster.

; Since you can make up multiple sample groups, you can fine tune how fast different kinds of

; parameters are logged.

You have your trigger set to OilTemp but the paramid for OilTemp is missing. Maybe it is working for you because it’s dropping the miss-configured trigger and you’re actually logging all the time.

Or maybe you just didn’t post your entire config... or maybe I am blind (reading on my phone) and OilTemp is in there somewhere. Hahaha
