H&S pyro temp reading can't seem to get it to work

[theinfamouskonrad]

Hello,
I don't seem to post much since i rather search for answers, but i can't seem to get the H&S pyro 1 temp to work on my mini maxx.

I just did a DPF delete with a MBRP 5" exhaust. After driving i noticed by factory default the mini maxx went into defueling due to the pyro reading 2200 degrees after 5 minutes of driving.

So i started to search and noticed i need to install the EGR block off plates, and install one of the DPF temp sensors in it, then unplug the factory EGR temp sensor and swap it with the new DPF temp sensor.

I went ahead and did that and i am still getting the high 2200 degree reading.

I do have the updated firmware on the mini maxx, and i did go under "user options" then "pyro readings" and i tried switching it to "H&S pyro" but then it reads 0 degrees. On the "factory sensor" option it still reads 2200 degrees.

Anyone run into this problem? I'm stumped and it's bothering me haha. I'd wait until tomorrow to call H&S but figured i'd ask you guys first.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

you put the the probe from the DPF in the block off plate on the manifold down by the turbo, then plug it into the plug that originally went to the sensor in the short EGR pipe. Factory pyro setting 1. The sensor from the short EGR pipe will give bad readings if used in the manifold

Yes that is correct. I did do it correctly.
I ended up turning the pyro defuel off... and changed the gauge so i wouldn't have to look at it. After driving for about 30 minutes i went back to check what the pyro was at, and it seems like it magically fixed itself! Now it's ready 248 degrees. So i will check again tomorrow to see what happens.

You have to change your Pyro temp source.

Go to main menu
Then scroll down to user options
Then click Pyro source.
And change it to "factory Pyro".

This will read temp from the egt sensor you installed into the block off plate.

Yes,
I did have it that was previously, but it still seemed to read the 2200 degrees. I tried switching it to the H&S pyro setting just to see if it fixed it, but didn't get any reading then. It's back on the "factory pyro" now.
It is working though.. hopefully will continue to read correctly. I'll test it out again tomorrow.

Alright here are some normal temps for mine.

Idle 240-330 degrees

At highway speeds on cruise you should see temps about 500-700 degrees

At medium acceleration I see about 800-1000 degrees.

And at full throttle from a stop mine will hit 1400-1500 degrees when I reach 70-75 MPH if I recall

Thanks for all that info! I appreciate it!
I'll compare yours with mine tomorrow.
I have a 5" MBRP dp-back exhaust that i had fully ceramic coated. I'm not sure if that will affect the pyro readings at all or not but i wouldn't see how it could since the sensor is not in the actual exhaust.

A ceramic coated exhaust shouldn't impact your pyro temps because the sensor is before the exhaust gas ever sees your MBRP exhaust.
