Howdy All.
I played with my scan tool when I first got an EFI Live v2 back in March (too cold to do much).
I noticed then that sometimes the virtual dash would 'read' and sometimes it wouldn't.
Well it is decent weather now so I am playing again and I can't get the dashboard to display any values at all.
I tell it to connect and it displays a progress bar saying it is looking for ECM/TCM controllers or something like that...the disconnect from the file drop-down is then available so it must be 'connected'?
The dash shows the standard guages, but show no RPM's or any other readings.
I clicked the Yellow icon to read real-time data and I think it says I have X's in PIDs?
I gave up with that. It never worked.
I did have to get a new ECM program put in .... a recall for EGR,etc. since my attempt back in March. It shows a different OS than before.
I tried playing with turning DTC lights off and on.....lots of them doing nothing.
Some ( very few ) will turn on & off, but most do not.
Something is wrong?
I do have the latest non-beta softwares, and have the latest firmware in the V2.
the vehicle is a 2007+ Topkick, which supposedly has the Bosch ECM.
It is the LYE engine which EFI Live treats as if it is an LMM I guess.
The scan tool is pretty much useless with me as the operator?
