FANATEC Forza Motorsport CSR Wheel Manual - 9. Troubleshooting

9. Troubleshooting

The Forza Motorsport CSR wheel must not be opened or modified. 

Endor® AG expressly prohibits analysis and utilization of the electron-

ics, hardware, software and firmware contained in the controller. In 

case difficulties occur in connection with utilization of the CSR Wheel, 

please use the following guide for elimination of errors. On the web-

site you will find further details and contact data.

Malfunctions on Xbox 360

Forza Motorsport 3 does not detect the 900° wheel rotation:

Solution: Make sure you start the Xbox 360 with the on/off button on 

the console and not by pressing the Xbox 360 Guide Button on the 

wheel. Make sure you select 900 for Sensitivity on your wheel

Malfunctions on Playstation 3

Game does not recognize the CSR wheel: Please switch the wheel to 

PS3 compatibility mode.

Wheel switches to PC mode after starting a game: Please enter PS3 

mode again.

Saving the game is not possible: Please use the SIXAXIS controller to 

save thegame and navigate in the system menu.

Clutch or 6-speed gear shift is not working at all

Please make sure that your game supports this feature.

Please check if you have chosen the right settings in the options menu 

of the game.

Please make sure that the gear stick cable is connected properly.

Please make sure that the gear stick is calibrated. (see shifter manual)

In GranTurismo 5 (Prologue) you need to press the triangle button in 

the game in order to activate the clutch.

Wheel is not working properly

Please check if the game is supporting the wheel and if you selected 

the right settings in the options menu of the game.

Make sure the latest version of the Fanatec CSR driver is installed (PC 

only)

Please make sure that the power cable is connected properly and the 

light is on. After the power switch is pressed them wheel should auto-

matically self calibrate.

In general we highly recommend installing a separate and dedicated 

PCI USB controller card only for the CSR Wheel in order to 

avoid conflicts with other USB devices and to get maximum perfor-

mance of your wheel.

Some older PC games don’t support enough buttons to make use of 

all features of the wheel.

Some racing games are not optimized for racing wheels. Even if they 

can be played with the CSR wheel they may play better with a game-

pad or a keyboard.

Problems with USB headset

Some PCs with AMD processor have problems with force feedback 

wheels. In such a case please install a USB 2.0 PCI card and use it for 

your wheel.

Problems with driver

Please make sure to download the latest version of the driver at
