Have a PS3 engine. Once it sits for about a week, when I start it up, it will run conventionally but the TIU can not find it. If I reset the TIU, then most of the time, it works as it should. Occasionally, I have to reset the locomotive also in order to get back to normal operation.
Anyone have any thoughts as to what is happening? This is new. Never used to be a problem.

what is the item number of your engine hard to help you t all without it. sometimes certain engine have had issues that can easily be corrected! have you done a remote signal track test from remote should be as close to 10 as possible, lets start there and you can also try in on a test piece of track instead of your layout! sometimes it has to do with the way the wire are in your engine!
Engine is an ABA E6, #20-20343-1
How do you reset the engine if the TIU does not find it?
If I reset the TIU, then it finds the engine, ocassionally I gave to reset the engine to get it to run under DCS.
I didn't know you could reset the TIU. How do you do that?

find the tiu menu on your remote and then scroll down to reset tiu and press the thumb wheel to reset it!

I guess I am confused, if DCS can't find engine you can't do a DCS reset. If you have engine started and shut off power does it play shut down sounds completely, or go silent quickly? May be bad Super cap, or you have a issue with DCC/DCS switch not making good contact. Or, you have issues with wire routing over the PS-3 board. The caps must be folded horizontally and all wires run over them, not under them or directly over PCB. G
