SBC deactivation

[Ollie2805]

Good evening everyone

could anyone talk me through the procedure of deactivating the SBC system with an icarsoft CR pro? I want to make sure I am doing it right.

Thank you in advance

Simplest way is to disconnect the connector from the pump.

Okay, thank you.

If you want to use icarsoft, on the CR Max you can find the SBC activate/deactivate under EPB (no idea why). Guess it'll be similar for the Pro.

Okay, thank you. I have found that bit, so do I just click on deactivate and it does it all? On a side note, what do you think of the CRmax?

Yes, just select deactivate. You'll get a message on the dash showing SBC is no longer operational, I forget the exact wording. Key off and you can work on system. When you've finished your repairs, key on and select activate.

I've not tried the other icarsofts, but I was expecting more of the CR Max. I thought the big screen would be great for viewing live data, it's not. If you plot a graph the axes are fixed, so the x will always just show you couple of seconds of data. If you take a 5 min log you just have to page through, seconds at a time. Y axes are fixed too. The sample rate is awful too, so the detail gets aliased.

I guess the ability to do the updates over wifi is useful, but as I've never found any new functionality I need after an update, not sure it's worth it.

I was too, my OM648 only has 4 fuel injectors according to my CR Max amongst other niggles.

@Ollie2805 I have used SBC deactivation and the dashboard has a warning overload on my S211, so be prepared for the noise! Unplugging would be my preference when performing general maintenance such as discs and pads. I managed to replace a burst rear hard line and bled the caliper by opening the door with the SBC connected.
