Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting the Dyna ignition is simple. If the dashboard “Check Engine Light” is ON, or the vehicle will not start or run at
all, follow these 3 steps:
1) Disconnect the Fuel Injector Intercept connectors and reconnect the stock connector to the fuel injector,
2) Disconnect the DFS ignition coil connector, and reconnect the stock connector.
If this fixes the problem, then the Dyna ignition should be returned to Dynatek for testing. If this does not fix the problem, then the
problem is somewhere else on the engine or vehicle. Follow the troubleshooting procedures outlined in your vehicle shop manual.
If you are using non stock spark plug, or stator, replace them with OEM units. Then follow the procedures in the calibration
section to set the Dyna ignition up to work with your vehicle. If calibration doesn't fix the problem, the ignition should be
returned for testing. If the problem persists when using the stock ignition then the problem is external to the Dyna ignition.
CurveMaker bench programming
If you are programming the DFS9-3 with CurveMaker while the DFS is not on the vehicle, it will be necessary to ground the
Pickup Intercept signal at the DFS connectors. Connect a jumper between ground (located on the 4 pin connector, the pin
nearest the 8 pin connector, on the opposite side from the connector latch) and the pickup signal (located on the 6 pin
connector, the pin nearest the 8 pin connector, on the opposite side from the connector latch). When viewing the DFS 6, 8,
and 4 pin connectors with the DFS label and connector latch up, this is the lower left pin of the 4 pin connector, and the lower
right pin of the 6 pin connector. This jumper must be connected before connecting the CurveMaker programming connector.
This jumper will prevent noise on the disconnected pickup input. This noise will cause the DFS to ignore CurveMaker
communication, and attempt to communicate with the optional DRSP-1 Remote Serial Programmer. If noise is present,
CurveMaker will report “Ignition Not Found” when attempting to communicate with the DFS9-3.
