Funny ECU dump data
I am in the process of trying to sell my 2006 Exige. I had an ECU dump done today at my local dealership for a prospective buyer. Most of the data seems appropriate, but there were a few strange things.
Max engine RPM - 13207, 8635, 8630, 8610, 8605.
I am of the opinion that the 13207 overrev would cause the engine to explode. As my engine is still fully intact, I question the validity of this reading. Further, the engine time on that RPM reading is within the last 2-3 hours of engine time. I have not had a misshift since owning the car that I can remember, much less in the last few hours of seat time.
Another strange reading is the Faster 0-100 KMH time - 25.5 seconds, and Last 0 -100 KMH - No Data Available. I think that means the the ECU has no record of the car ever going 0-100 KMH quicker than 25.5 seconds.
I ran across a post by xtn that seems to echo the 13000 RPM oddity.

Has anyone else encountered some ECU data that doesn't make sense? Any idea how this could happen? Corrupted data?

+1. I had the exact same reading on my 06 Exige. Talked to the Regional tech rep for LotusCars USA, who in turn talked to the guys at Hethel. It is a known computer error, and I ultimately got documentation from LotusUSA indicating that the reading was an error and that my engine warranty was fully intact. Good to have with the documentation for the car if/when you sell it.
