Getting disconnected when driving faster than 50 km/h !?

Hi Yani,

I wanted to make a plot while driving. First I thought it simply was a mistake, but after it returned every time.

I am always getting disconnected when I exceed 50km/h.

Is this your SW doing it, or is it the diagnosis port of the Alfa because of safety reasons? -> not safe to drive faster than 50 while ABS and VDC is disabled because of OBD Connection to ABS control unit !?

Thanks a lot!

Doesn't anyone else have this problem?

Regards
Harleyhos

No, there is no limitation in the software.
It is probably a safety feature of the module which you are connected to.
Which module are you testing? I think that the engine should not disconnect you because of speed restriction, but if you are connecting to the ABS then it is possible.
