  • Reaching out for a little technical help...

    ... to see if anyone here is familiar with the Racelogic aftermarket traction control system,

    Unit 10-11 Swan Business Centre, Osier Way
    Buckingham, Buckinghamshire
    MK18 1TB

    or if perhaps anyone knows somebody that knows the system inside and out?

    Since 2018 they're no longer being factory supported/repaired (unless you're the original purchaser).

    In any case, I've run into a problem, as it's not "seeing" the wheel speed sensors.
    Furthermore, it "shunts" the WSS signal to the 09/98 build M Coupe's ABS controller, preventing it from getting the signal too.

    Naturally, I would suspect a wiring/connection error on my part, but by unplugging the Racelogic unit, I can read the WSS from the car's 20-pin diagnostic port using an Autologics diagnostic computer (no relation to Racelogic, though both are made in Great Britain).

    I *just* pulled the Racelogic unit out of my own 11/98 build M Coupe and with it plugged in to the 09/98 M Coupe, I can read the WSS via the ABS controller, 20-pin connector & Autologics computer, as connected above. Indicating that the fault lies within the 09/98's Racelogic unit. Since I don't know circuit board-level electronics diagnosis & repair, I'm a bit of a fish out of water here.

    Incidentally, both of these cars, mine & the 09/98 M Coupe, are fitted with Eurosport twinscrew superchargers, and the Racelogic traction control contributes to a higher level of enjoyment and safety.

    Thank you for any insight or help, as I haven't yet found a vendor that services a secondhand R/L controller.
