Many similar issues have been discussed on here but not mine specifically (at least I couldn't find anything). On startup my game fails the feedback test. If I ignore the fail and go on the game works perfectly fine. Any suggestions?
 
Does the steering wheel move side to side during the test?

Have you calibrated the steering? I'm assuming you do have feedback.
 
Your wheel should move all the way one direction then the other at the start. Thats why its failing.

In the game menu there's a place where you can calibrate the pedals and steering wheel. Its been awhile since going in and adjusting so I dont recall what its under. Get into the menu with the service button behind the top coin door.
 
I have calibrated it before, same issue. I know that the wheel is supposed to go back and forth in start up and it doesn't, that I guess is where I need help. Why?
 
So in the same test screen, do you do the forcefeed back test and does it work? Does it get weaker and stronger as the number goes up and down?

When playing the game and if you dont touch the wheel, when other cars hit, does the wheel turn from the impact?
 
Very strange!

I guess if it plays fine I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I'd try a different FF pcb too just to test.

Have you tried a new HD just for kicks?
 
I don't have another FF board currently to use. I do have another HD I could try. I'm planned on eventually getting another SF Rush so once I get that I guess I'll be switching FF boards to test. Wasn't sure if there was a specific component to test.
 
HaHaHaHa....Anyway Goodluck with fixing your steering issue. I have never heard of anything like that. Usually it either works or it doesnt.I would have guessed one of the amplifiers was bad but you said it works in test mode. I would start easy first make sure all of your connections are clean then yah if you get another rush just switch it piece by piece until the problem changes cabinets.
 
I bought my Rush at auction and when I got it home the FF board was laying in the bottom with a piece of tape on it saying that right doesn't work. Someone must have repaired it (probably an amp) and never remounted it because when I hooked it up it worked fine.
 
I was actually messing around with one my RTRs yesterday, as I was having the issue the potentiometer not going all the way to 1024 in either direction under the calibration test. So I pulled the pot. and changed the wires. Looking at it shaft forward, from left to right; black/blk yellow/red< I think it was red.. Anyway, I switched them, fired up the game and the steering wheel didn't move at startup, and the Steering wheel not responding message came on the screen. But I did have f.feedback once the game was going.

So, maybe the wires on the potentiometer are back wards?

And I haven't yet gotten the pot to read 1024 in either direction. The pot doesn't look familiar, so I have ordered a proper one; we'll see.
