Solution
Try to use another steering wheel. If this is also
not working properly the CSL Elite Racing Wheel
might be damaged.
Check the pins inside the quick release of the
steering wheel, these must not be bent or dam-
aged.
Make sure that you have updated your CSL Elite
Racing Wheel to the latest firmware version which
can be downloaded from www.fanatec.com/sup-
port.
When the motor temperature is close to the upper
limit the tuning menu values will be overwritten to
regular maximum values (not higher than 100 %).
Additionally, the motor power level is controlled by
firmware so that the FFB strength may fade in this
high temperature range but the motor will not be
damaged. This allows extending the duration of
driving before the motor has to completely stop
operating to calm down.
Let your CSL Elite Racing Wheel calm down be-
fore continue using it.
When the temperature is exceeding the upper lim-
it the motor will be deactivated for a while until the
temperature is low enough (to protect the hard-
ware from damages).
Let your CSL Elite Racing Wheel calm down be-
fore continue using it. Contact our customer sup-
port if this happens consecutively.
In case of malfunctioning temperature sensor
the fans will work at maximum speed to protect
the hardware from overheat. Please contact our
customer support. Note: The room temperature
should be above 20°C.
Please check your tuning menu settings, the value
for SPR (spring) must be higher than '000' as this
effect is required to make correct centring. De-
fault value is '100'.
