Those of you running Copilots....

Does your green lockup indicator come on any time the converter is locked, or just when the Copilot commands lockup?

I think it's just when the co-pilot commands it, but I haven't run it for a while so I can't remember for sure.

FWIW, I've only seen it come on when the co-pilot is in race mode (aka all blue lights come on when set in race mode).

I was playing with mine yesterday and couldn't make it come on. I was just wondering what you all were seeing.

I checked with ATS and they said at Copilot command only..... thanks for the responses.

Hold the up adjust button until all 5 blue LEDs come on, then go full throttle. You should see it come on as soon as you hit 2nd gear.

Just curious if you only see the light after you do the hold the button deal and the lights flash.

According to the Copilot manual, if the right-most blue light is lit and the tranny is at operating temp it is in race mode. It says if you don't want the TCC lockup put it with the right-most two lights lit.

I tried that, and it never went into race mode on its own. It only worked for me if I manually put it in race mode.

My green light always comes on when my TC locks up. There are 2 or 3 different versions of the co-pilot for the dmax, i turned my old one in for a gen3. It took me a while to get the green light to work properly. It never worked right till i soldered the wires together for a real good connection.

I'm not sure what Gen. I have. It's about 2 years old though.
