Sorry for sounding like a newb here:

When I connect to the TCM, I expect to see slip, gear indicator, etc. I don't see any pids like this. I use V2 with laptop, and connect to "LB7/LLY TCM".

Am I just doing something wrong? LOL, thanks for taking it easy on me. :doh2:

Are you validating your pids after you connect to the TCM?

No. That's automatically done, is my understanding.

And thanks for the help.

Its not automatically done (unless you've set your software up to do so), and sometimes needs to be refreshed.

Ive had to refresh mine every once in a while, sometimes I notice Im not logging certain PIDs or the scan tool is throwing an unsupported error. Refreshing fixes it.

That worked. Thank you.

Odd that Engine RPM cannot be logged at the same time. I hope one of these pids is a good facsimile. Kinda tough to tune a tranny without rpm.

TIS and TOS are rpm PIDS.

What do you all use for speed, VSS is unloggable.

You can make a calc PID based on TOS, gear ratio, tire size. should be pretty simple...

If you are using BBL, you can log both the TCM and ECM at the same time eliminating that problem. Just a suggestion. I know you are having a hard time coming over the dark side.:grin:

Looks like I just found a good reason to make the move. Since autocal is based on the same interface, I can't put it off any longer.

The calc pid occured to me. I am just becoming averse to work. :)
