Hey everyone, been a while...

I finally got back around to playing with EfiLive and pulled the *.tun and as Efi loads I get the error


The currently loaded calibration contains one or more incorrect ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) tables.

DO NOT FLASH THIS CALIBRATION into a PCM that is to be used for ETC, or your PCM may be permanently inoperable.

I am 100% certain this is the tune that is currently "in" my car... Although I cannot verify until I finish reloading my laptop...

I think I attached it correctly, could someone take a quick look?

Koncrete,

Which build version of the scantool/tunetool software do you have...?
Do you have FlashScan V1 or V2...?

Got the V1 flashscan and I downloaded the latest 7.5 software and did the update

Does you vehicle have ETC fitted or does it use a throttle cable?

If it uses a throttle cable then you can ignore the warning as the ETC tables are switched off and not used.

If your vehicle has electronic throttle control fitted then it is not recommended to flash in that file since EFILive detected that some throttle tables are not consistent with their backup/redundant tables. It could cause a reduced engine power mode or in the worst case, a non-functional PCM.

ooooo

im such a moron... =P

Didn't even occur to me... Now that I think about it I got that error since day one, its been a couple of years and it worried me...

And yea, I have a cable not ETC... Can I delete this thread or does it get posted in the "Some morons shouldn't work on their own car's" thread :)
