Hi all just installed my p160 into a new plane ,just started to set up radio gear to ecu ,I did the learn radio and when I looked at the gsu the temp was flashing 967c then E ,I have calibrated the temp with no joy has any one got any ideas

You're not communicating between the engine and ECU. Try replacing the black data cable to the engine with a different one.

Hi thanx I have tried a new cable still the same ,the turbine was faultless all I have done is taken out of one plane and put in an other

Another alternative is the temp probe is bad. Try doing a calibration of the probe and see if it gives an error message. Hold the Select Menu button down for 10 sec or so past Learn RC when powering on until it says to release the button to calibrate.

I have tried to calibrate it and it's still the same , do you think it could be the temp probe

While it's possible it's the temperature probe, this failure is usually resolved with changing data cables. I did have a case on a P-120 where I ended up with JetCat putting a new comm board in my ECU. Actually, twice, in a months time. I've not seen a hard reset of the ECU cure this. The problem is the serial data exchange between engine and ECU isn't working but obviously working between ECU and GSU. At the engine, there are the temp, rpm and circuit board, then a data cable and the comm board in the ECU.

Not much for us to work with. You could try reseating the temp probe - take the screw out, pull it off and then put back on. It's a 3 pin connector. If you left the data cable and power lead in the other airplane, you could try those. I have seen cases of the power lead being plugged in wrong. You know the data cable to the GSU is good so you could try that. Otherwise, I'm out of ideas.
