I'm a Mac guy too and not inclined to buy an Android phone or tablet or Windows PC just to run TuneECU.

If you have a good relationship with your dealer and you buy parts and accessories there they might reset the "wrench" at no or little charge. Worth asking.

 

I’d sure they’d do it, but since I do my own service I’d hate to have to go there ever my time service is due. I was hoping to find a way to do it myself.

 

You have to use the Android version of Tuneecu.

tuneecu.fr

 

So Tuneecu is the only way to gain access? No OBDII reader would do it? Not going to buy an Android device just for this.

 

I do my own service and the service wench symbol on the dash is so small it don't worry me, infact I don't even notice it, I am too busy riding and looking what's going on around me sometimes I forget about my indicator light flashing, my eyes are set on the road, it makes no affect to the running of my bike, I know when my bike needs a service, so far just oil and filter changes so far the valves aren't due yet in mileage time.
But as I say that little symbol makes no difference being on inbetween all the other things on my dash, I very rarely look at my dash board, occasionally look at my speed and take notice when the fuel light comes on or how much mileage is left in my tank but I have 70 km left in the tank when that yellow light comes on, it's more important than that service symbol.

 

Of course I can ignore it, but I asked the question because I’d like to know what ways there are to get rid of it other than Tuneecu.

 

Dealer tool works well for me. I can do system checks and bleed abs. No remapping though.

 

Thanks for the clarification, I had incorrectly assumed that the Tuneecu was another name for the dealer tool, sounds like they’re two different tools.

Where do I buy the dealer tool?

Thanks all. I’ll give OBDLink a try and if it works great, if not I’ll just buy the dealertool and try to find an old PC somewhere to use it…

 

As you've already got the OBDLink CX I suppose it's worth a try, but I'm afraid it's unlikely to help.

I have installed the Android version of the OBDLink app and although it was useful to confirm that my OBDLink LX unit has connected to my Triumph bike, it doesn't seem to offer any very useful functions and certainly nothing bike-specific. I wouldn't have thought the iOS version would be much different.

I bought the LX to go with TuneECU but I haven't needed to reset the service indicator yet. I did have to make an unplanned purchase of another application, which also works with various OBDlink adapters, to allow me to register a new battery into my car (and I guess it may be useful for other car service steps in future).

Thanks, this is really helpful. I’ll post the results after trying the CX, but I suspect you are correct.

 

Not sure if this off topic,but have a question on Tune ECU.I want to change the calipers on my 2022 Bobber,do I need todo something with it when bleeding?
Thx

 

I think you'll find a fair bit iof discussion of this topic elsewhere at this site, for instance here:

ABS Brake System Bleed Procedure

Downloadable pdf Guide to bleeding ABS Brake System The original post in this thread has lost some value due to lack of images. Links to images were removed when this site was upgraded leaving only blank spaces between the descriptive text. To overcome this issue I have put the original...

www.triumphrat.net

I'm putting off investigating this until I need to do a full brake fluid service some time next year.

However, I get the impression that even without using software tools you can do a basic bleed of the non-ABS parts of the circuit, in the conventional way. If this is true (but please don't take my word for it) then a caliper change would perhaps be similar to changing hoses - I'd be inclined to reduce fluid leakage while working on the calipers by putting a layer of cling film temporarily under the master cylinder cap, then, after connecting all the new stuff up and making sure unions are tight, do a regular bleed using the nipples at the caliper(s).

 

Not sure about tune ecu but dealer tool has the ability to "open" pumps/valves or what ever the bits on the abs module to allow it to be bled along with the rest of the braking system.

 

Thx,all with the rest is what I needed to know.

Honestly, you can get a cheap unlocked Android phone on Amazon to go with that ODB link. It lets you reset everything, change the tune, play with ignition, make your cooling fan come on sooner to keep things cooler, etc...

When I had an iPhone I just got a cheap generic Android phone, just for wrenching on bikes. No more trips to the dealer and paying them $100 to turn off a wrench on the dash. You can do everything that Dealer Tools can do, plus full tuning capabilities if you ever need it.

 

So the iPhone is what limits OBDLink to connect to the ECU? To make sure I understand your suggestion, you’re saying that as long as I have an android device running ODBLink and use my OBDLink module (in my case the “CX”) model, then I can access everything?

 

You can use tune ECU quite happily on an Android phone

I reset the service wrench on my '16 Street Twin using TuneECU that I bought ( cheap) for Android and I re-use my "FIXD" OBD reader (got as a present and use it on my cars) that interfaced (surprisingly) with the Street Twin... I had a no-name cheap OBD reader a friend gave me but it didn't work...
Perhaps you could borrow a tablet/android device... you would have to set up a gmail/google pastor email , access it, buy the app, download it, do your erase, then delete your email profile from that device... next time you need to use Tune ECU, you access it with the same email so it follows your email, not necessarily the device - I know because the device I originally used broke and I was concerned I would have to buy the app again but no, didn't need to. He/she is an ethical developer.

If you are anywhere near Seattle, let me know and I will clear it for you. I don't play around with the tunes... only use the app to erase the wrench. I am surprised dealers charge as much as they do. It takes all of 5 minutes or less...I know people have to make a living but ummm....

 

Thanks for the offer, truly appreciate it, but I’m nowhere near Seattle!

I have a few different ODBII modules/readers that I’ve used on my cars over the years to make adjustments on some settings (e.g. turning off the fake “engine“ sound that plays through speakers) and all of those have been through different apps on my Apple devices. If an Android device is the only way to access the Triumph ECU then I’ll just buy a cheap one and call it a day. I won’t use it for anything else, but it’s good to have one for these types of things.

I highly doubt that making the service reminder not-resettable in the menus ever enticed anyone who would normally do their own service to go the dealer to do the work instead, but I’m sure it sounded like a good idea at Triumph!

 

I just bought a cheap Samsung tablet. I figure it pays for itself.

 

My dad was a mechanic and he always said a little piece of black electric tape covers up the $$ dealer lights.

 

Quick update:

Finally got a few minutes to try the OBDLink CX module paired to the OBDLink app. As some had mentioned, there was no problem connecting to the ECU and I could read numerous parameters, but there was no option to reset the service wrench. In fact, under “trouble codes” the reading was “none”. As expected, the reminder is not categorized as a trouble code.

So it seems for standard troubleshooting a regular OBDII reader could still be a viable option as a starting point, but it has its limits.

Now going to look for a cheap Android tablet to run TuneEcu on…

 

I am also an iPhone/windows guy. I bought a used Android tablet from a local guy on craigslist for $10.00. He was upgrading his old tablet to a newer version. The $10.00 Android tablet works great with my DealerTool.

 

This is ideal, hard to beat $10!

I ended up getting a Samsung A7 Lite for ~$130 and it worked like a charm.

 

Hello to everyone

I have a 2016 Triumph Street Twin and I also would like to reset the service wrench on the dash, what Tool do I need to buy to get reset it through the ECU?
From where I can get it?

Dude, you are asking a question in a thread, that literally spells the answer and details all out for you already... Do you want to scroll up and read it, or should we type out all the answers again? ;-)

 

2016 Tiger 800 XCX. I have an Android phone a friend gave me. I ordered a $140 OBD2 MX+ today from Amazon. I downloaded Tune ECU and bought the license. My goal is to upload a better map that takes away the flat 3/4 to wide open throttle. I’ve downloaded some of the developer’s maps for the bike from the Tune ECU site- ones that he made/used. Does anyone know if they’re stock, or modified? Is there another place I should go for a good map (stock exhaust and airbox- but the thing runs flat at wide open and won’t hit redline in any gear)?
Murf

 

it struggles to hit redline because of the ride by wire restrictions. If you tell me what map you are using, the 5 digit number... I can take that map, unlock the ride by wire tables and send it to you. it will be the same map you are running now, but it will deliver full power when you twist the throttle instead of holding back...

 

Update; I loaded a stock map and the bike now runs perfectly. Thanks Tune ECU.
Murf

 

Thanks. But since I posted this I’ve downloaded a map, modified throttle openings, and richend the low end. It runs like a champ now.
Murf

 

@hoaguy72: in comparing the map you graciously provided versus the Triumph base map, I see changes to the 'F' tables. My understanding is that the values in the F tables are related to how much air the engine is ingesting. Since I have no changes to either the OEM intake or exhaust systems, it doesn't seem that I should mess with those values.

What I decided to do was start with the Triumph base map and to replace the ETV3 table and the AFR table with the tables from your map. So I discarded (for now) changes to the ignition timing tables and the F tables. My theory being that it's probably wise to change fewer things at once, confirm I like the effects, then add additional changes later.

Comments? Want to be sure I haven't horked things up before I go ahead and load the new map.

 

F tables are fuel. I know that that bike runs lean in that area, stock, so I added a little fuel.

ETV alone will only unrestricted it part way. They pulled several degrees of timing in the same area as the ETV restrictions, hence why you should do them together.

Honestly, I would just drop in the map that I sent you and go ride it.

 

Yeah, thanks. Character flaw, I guess. I just don't like changing stuff without making an effort to understand it first.

Can't thank you enough for your help. Not trying to be a human hemorrhoid; just going at whatever pace my limited understanding allows...

 

The map isn't a massive change. Little fuel, but Sport mode is now unrestricted. Done this a hundred times. Just go ahead and install it and for a ride and rail on it.

 

Hi All

I Finally managed to Reset the service light of my 2016 Triumph Street Twin Using TuneECU and an OBDLink LX Adapter, I used my Samsung S23 Ultra and it was relatively Straightforward to do, My Only concern is that when I registered my Bike on TuneECU and found my ECU Serial Number etc it showed this information

It seems that my current Map is Obsolete. My question is, should I be Concerned? or as long as it works I simply leave it as it is?

Regards
Daniel
