Using MaxxECU as an engine and 8HP transmission controller in CAN-equipped modern vehicles can lead to CAN collisions.
Note: If you have a fully built race car with no instrument cluster, ABS, or other CAN modules connected to MaxxECU, this does not affect you.
If you have a modern vehicle with an advanced vehicle CAN system and intend to retain the instrument cluster, ABS, steering wheel controls, and other CAN modules, you will most likely experience CAN collisions. This can result in improper transmission shifting, fault codes, and overall malfunction.
See our CAN list for known CAN collisions. If your vehicle is not listed, issues are still likely to occur.
You can use the built-in CAN Analyzer tool to scan your vehicle and compare the results with our CAN list, where all supported 8HP CAN configurations are specified.
If you are looking for information on how to use MaxxECU as a standalone 8HP transmission controller, see 8HP standalone control.
