06-07 5.9L Feature Request List

[GMPX]

This is the official place to request features for the EFILive Cummins tuning.
Don't hold back, as crazy as something might sound, it's worth mentioning it, you never know. But don't be offended if the final answer is no.
As requests are posted this list will be grouped by status.

Currently in Beta, to be released with next public update:


Intake Heater removal without DTC.
Speedo adjustment.
Speed Limiter.


Request acknowledged, slotted for next Beta update:


Wastegate removal without DTC.
Transmission tuning.
Transmission shift torque reduction disable.


Noted, no firm time frame:


MIL / DTC disable list, GM style.
Enable 'High Idle' function via Cruise.
Switchable tuning (i.e DSP for Cummins).
Fog Lamp on with High Beam option. (Low priority, TIPM function, not ECM)
Removing the fan and viscous clutch without DTC's

[Motorzane]

The fog light is controlled by the TIPM

[rajkalkat]

tranny tuning maybe?

Thank you

[icemanjc1]

Shift defuel and trans tuning, that would make me happy. Glad it on the list.

[polarischevy05]

would a turbo timer be possible

[GMPX]

would a turbo timer be possible
No sorry, that would be a pretty major thing to try to write in to the operation of the ECM.

[Motorzane]

When is the next public release?

[GMPX]

Aiming for this weekend I think.

Edit: Might not make it for the weekend, we made a major change to the bi-di controls on our GM controllers, that probably won't be ready on time for a weekend release.

[06redram]

How about setting key count back to original setting.

[2007 5.9]

How about setting key count back to original setting.

Not to sound condescending...but are you sure they are reset??

I have flashes several times with EFI, and my key counts as read on my box tuner are still intact.

Did you happen to need a brand new stock file that was posted on CompD or tunedepot.com??

Wonder if that has something to do with it.

I sold my box tuner 3 months ago. I am not sure by flashing a tune with EFI zero out the key count. Has more EFI owner tried and check to see if there key changed?

[GMPX]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this key counter?

[2007 5.9]

Pardon my ignorance, but what is this key counter?

Supposed to be a way for the dealership to see if the ECM has been tampered with. Most of the box tuners wipe this clean every time you write the ECM. Smarty was one of the only ones that did not mess with counts, so in theory the dealer couldnt tell that you had or have had a programmer.

BTW, its a counter that counts the number of key-on cycles.

~Les

[GMPX]

Is it still relevant on a 5 year old truck as far as the dealer is concerned?
At a guess I would say EFILive will leave the counter in tact and not zero it.

I would say not too relevant for the 06-07 trucks, but the 08+ might.

As a policy we don't reset any thing like that, the LMM had flash tracking too, we decided not to release the ability to reset it.

[DoghouseDiesel]

How about removing the fan and viscous clutch without throwing the 2 codes for those of us running electric fans?

[TorqueDieselLLC]

before i pulled the JR off of my truck i read it and saved it then reset the truck to stock and got my stock file also then i wrote my own tune from scratch but i did run a side by side with the JR and stock tunes just to see what they done and basicly all i seen was the fuel to boost maps and throttle to fuel maps different the pulse width was the same as stock on the main injection......are their some tables that were not seeing that possibly the JR was changing?

[cumminsDK]

DVT controls in the scan tool would be awesome!

That will depend on the capabilities of the ECM, GM has very good DVT controls written in to the ECM code, not sure on Cummins (yet).

[06redram]

Record PID's to sd card though Blue V2. Also put anti theft option on Blue v2 hand held that has a no start though canbus plug connector where we will not need a laptop

[FUBAR]

PID selection like the GM selection (select each individual PID instead of "groups.") And are the injector balance rates being ironed out? They're not reading correct. All of the stated speaking of the ScanTool.

Thanks,
Andrew

[GMPX]

PID selection like the GM selection (select each individual PID instead of "groups.")
Can't be done, this is a limitation of the Cummins ECM, it's how they designed the scantool communications for that ECM. If anyone is familiar with the old ALDL data bus on 80's GM cars it uses the same principal of sending data. As users we have a limited choice in what data we want to log because the ECM will only send data back in predefined groups.
Unfortunately this means you probably need to compromise in your choice of data vs logging speeds.


And are the injector balance rates being ironed out? They're not reading correct.
Yes, fixed for the next release.

[FUBAR]

Many thanks!

[MQ105]

Sensor scaling for oil pressure, voltage, coolant temp would be nice. That would turn the dash gauges into useful tools instead of the ok/too late indicators they are now.

[ScarabEpic22]

All dash guages are fully customizable, I dont know how the Cummins data is but if you get a data readout (like C or F for temp) in the scan tool data page F:9 then you can map a gauge to it by right clicking and creating a new gauge.

[DoghouseDiesel]

He's refering to gauges on the real dash, not the virtual dash.

There are several gauges on the Dodge "real" dash that are simply over size idiot lights.

Take the oil pressure for example. It does not actually measure the trucks real oil pressure. The "sensor" is a nothing more than a Hobbs switch. As soon as it sees 5 psi of oil pressure, it closes the circuit and this turns out the idiot light.

From there, the ECM "calculates" oil pressure based on engine temp and RPM. 99% of the time it's not even close. On my real oil pressure gauge, I see 25 psi at idle and 75 psi under heavy throttle. The dash gauge is always at 40.

The voltmeter is correct, the fuel gauge can be scaled, the coolant temp is correct, and the oil pressure can't be scaled because it does not have an actual sensor.

[GMPX]

the oil pressure can't be scaled because it does not have an actual sensor.
Yet, the earlier 2003-2004 ECM had a real sensor right?

[DoghouseDiesel]

Yet, the earlier 2003-2004 ECM had a real sensor right?

Not 100% positive.

If someone has an '03 or early '04 handy, shoot me the VIN and I can run the part number and see.

I can also use the engine serial number if you have that.

I know the 2nd Gen (94 - 02) had a real sensor, but not sure on the 3rd Gen pre-canbus trucks.

Ah gotcha, trying to use EFILive to make a virtual gauge out of just an on/off light on the physical dash. Sounds like you've got it squared away though!

Completely understand about the calculated oil pressure, in my trucks the I6 engine uses a calculated sensor and the dash gauge can barely move but oil pressure is changing big time while the 5.3L and 6.0L V8s have an actual sensor output so the guage is more responsive and accurate.

[skneeland]

Yet, the earlier 2003-2004 ECM had a real sensor right?

But, if the oil pressure input could be scaled, could we not swap out the sensor for an older type to turn it into a real gauge?

[DoghouseDiesel]

But, if the oil pressure input could be scaled, could we not swap out the sensor for an older type to turn it into a real gauge?

Not if the only thing the ECM is looking for is an on / off signal.

If it's looking for something that's a 5V reference, then it could be scaled.

It's just a matter of what it's actually looking for.

[GMPX]

On the 2006-2007 the Oil Pressure 'switch' comes in on C1 pin2. On the 2003-2004 the oil pressure 'sensor' comes in on C2 pin12 which is probably a real A/D converter input so it can measure 0-5V rather than on/off.

[DoghouseDiesel]

Then there'd be making it talk to the cluster so the gauge reads correctly and doesn't trip the MIL.

Seams like it would be easier to put a pressure sender in one of the ports on the filter head and just view it as an analog input.

[MQ105]

I'm trying to figure out a way to read the voltage signal from the Isspro Performax processor with the V2. That would allow logging of any sensor already in use. It would be great to be able to log real boost 1 & 2, egt, FP, etc.

[ScarabEpic22]

If the signal is an analog 0-5V signal, you can use one of the orange analog connectors and plug it into your V2. Then write a custom calc PID to convert the voltage into a useable value.

Sounds easy enough, but I dont know what values you'd need to use to make the proper calc PID for that setup.

[AH64ID]

I apologize if any of these are repeats.

1) Adjust the temp at which the grid heater fires, and the duration
2) Adjust the temp at which the fan clutch engages, and level of engagement
3) Adjust the overhead mileage readout
4) Enable the B20 fuel filter option
5) Enable the "Fast Idle" option, and adjust the rpm range (i.e more than 1100-1500, like 1000-2500)
6) Adjust the fuel pump duration at key on

[DoghouseDiesel]

How about being able to run an injector kill test?

This is what we use to figure out a bad injector (i.e. a bunch of white smoke or an erratic idle that isn't FCA related).

Turn one injector off, turn it back on, turn the next off, etc.

I second that!! Injector kill test

It would nice to be data long though V2 handheld to SD Card without laptop

[DoghouseDiesel]

This may sound menial, but is there any way to get the OBDII cable with a 90* connector to the OBDII port?

I know it may sound insignificant, but with the cable connected on the Dodges, the cable is directly between your legs and I notice myself hitting it every once in a while while logging.

If we could get one, even buy it separately, that came out from the OBDII port and went toward the passenger side, that would be the cats meow.

[06redram]

Dm you r so right I have a clutch almost broke it off. A 90 would be great. I would buy

[GMPX]

Coming at some stage.

I can see how that would be a pain. We can ask our cable supplier if they have right angle connectors.
Someone might want to consider sending an Email to Multiplex Engineering, they do custom cables, all you would need is a R/A OBD-II plug to a OBD-II socket.
http://www.multiplex-engineering.com/cables.htm

Or you could move the OBD-II connector on the truck :hihi:

[DoghouseDiesel]

Is this possible with the factory scantool?

Cheers,
Ross

Yes it is. You can do it with both the StarScan and StarMobile.

With the vehicle running, you can pick any individual injector and shut it down.

The vehicle will stumble if the injector was working correctly.

If the vehicle was smoking, running rough, sputtering, etc., when you shut down the bad injector(s), the condition stops and you know which one is the problem.

It's really useful to isolate fuel delivery issues without having to remove and test each injector or cap off the port on the fuel rail.

I would imagine it would be possible in the bidirectional mode.

[Motorzane]

It is also possible on Snap-On scan tools also

[GMPX]

Ok thanks, just needed to make sure the ECM was capable of doing that test. We sometimes get asked on GM vehicles for specific bi-directional tests, but unless GM programmed the ECM to have the ability then it can't happen.

[gneal02]

I would love to be able to turn the horn blowing when in reverse if door is open off, that crap scares the mess out of me everytime.

[06redram]

I had the dealer do an injector cut test a year ago. They used that work through the OBDII PORT

[GMPX]

I would love to be able to turn the horn blowing when in reverse if door is open off, that crap scares the mess out of me everytime.
I can't see how the ECM could control that, it must be the BCM (or whatever Dodge call the Body Control Module).

[skneeland]

look in your owners manual. there is a way to turn that off i believe

[DoghouseDiesel]

look in your owners manual. there is a way to turn that off i believe

Nope, can't turn that off.

That was a feature that was put into the non-readable portion of the ECM due to a lawsuit.

It was put in begining in the middle of the '06 model year. If your vehicle didn't have it originally, but you had it flashed afterwards, that was added.

Apparently, not putting the vehicle all the way in park and exiting the vehicle may cause it to roll away unexpectedly.......really? Go figure.

Kinda like putting "Caution: Contents are extremely hot!" on a cup of coffee.

Now, if someone has an OEM flash from the early '06 build that was NEVER updated, you may not have the reverse honk. If you've flashed your truck with the versions on CompD, you have flashed it with a version that has the honk.

[Dmaxink]

And i can vouche for if you put a AUTOMATIC Operating System in a Manual tranny truck, the horn will honk if the door opens no matter what :-) lol...just throwing that out there!

How's the next beta update coming along?

[Truck Source]

Would be curious to know what is in the trans side of things as far as fueling limiter. Hitting a wall around 2800-3k rpms. Can pull more rpms by playing in the duration table, but just curious if there is a different way around this because at some point well start to sacrifice driveability.

[GMPX]

How's the next beta update coming along?
It's not at the moment, I think I posted a week or so back Cummins is just on hold at the moment whilst we get the 2012 GM coverage done, and a couple of important updates on the GM side that have been waiting until the 5.9 was released. Then back in to Cummins, don't worry, you haven't been forgotten so soon.

[mstordahl]

What about torque management controll?

[FUBAR]

Pilot quantity amount based on coolant temp...I know there is a multiplier but id like a amount mm3 based on coolant temp.

So I can adjust my pilot down as coolant temps come up..


Maybe a TPS voltage table...so we can adjust TPS sensativity...

Thanks,

Look at the existing entries, you need to link the Tune tool and Scan tool PIDs. So for a particular map you'll need to assign a data value, row PID, and column PID.

[FUBAR]

Ok, so how do I link them? And what do I need to change in the pic. I couldn't find any of my Cummins material.
11430

[ScarabEpic22]

Well you have to start by putting the controller code in brackets like the existing entries, then take a table in the tune tool and make 2 entries for it. One will end in .col, the other in .row. Add the correct scan tool PID to the end of each .col/.row. Mimic the existing entries with your Cummins data.

Thanks,
With this, I had been holding off creating the link file until we decided on how we where going to best implement the scantool operation of the Cummins. The way the Cummins must be scanned is a little limiting (but don't blame us!)
In beta I had been working on an OS mod that allows super fast scanning of about 30 (useful) parameters, it works awesome, but this is looking like a major amount of work to apply to all the Cummins OS's, so it's been put on hold. The idea was once that was complete we would create the link file to match that rather than the factory selected set of PID's.
I think in the end I will make a link file to match the factory scan data because I know it's pretty painful without the linking.

[06redram]

Thanks GMPX that will be a big plus to all

[FUBAR]

That could for all

[GMPX]

Cummins isn't too bad, there is two of GM's gas ECM's (E38 & E67) that are used on all sorts of engines from 4cyl to V8's, cars to SUV's. Since 2006 when they first came out to present there has been over 100 Operating systems released by GM. It would be a luxury to tell everyone to use just one or two OS's but it's not really possible.

[GMPX]

Great work Fubar, if I recall correctly a lot of the late model GM gas cal_link data was done by one of our users as well.

[FUBAR]

Thanks Ross. Would there be any concern of an issue when you guys include this feature in a new update that where I have edited the files already?

-Andrew

[GMPX]

No that's fine and would be much appreciated, as long it was based off the latest version that was included in our last download.

Awesome Fubar! Great work, should make it a lot easier for everyone to log!

[CIDRAUGHN]

Dont know if this has come up yet, but removing the intake air heater relay without throwing the associated codes, since it is useless without the intake air heater on board would be awesome.

Question on dealer enabled options.

I found it to be a bit in the way aswell so about 2 days into logging i reached under and disconected the OBDII from the metal cradle it was attached to. i then reconnected the cable to the OBDII port and ran it behind the dash to come up through my console (its clean and no cable to be seen) now im just looking for a good cradle to be able to put the V2 in (to look cleaner/less clutter) and my laptop sits on an airdesk i already had in use in my truck.

For starters we need to understand what the request is in more detail, and if it applies to specific trucks or all trucks/years.

Cheers

I have an 03, but I hope I can speak for the rest as well. If the ambient temps are below ~40* it will idle at 750rpm for a min, the idle up to 1000rpm.

It will idle up/down based on some input, and does not seem to be affected by coolant temp. It will shut off and idle back to 750rpm when the brake is depressed, or it senses vehicle speed.

At coolant temps below ~30* it will start and ramp right to 1000rpm, but after its warmed up the above will happen.

[FUBAR]

Exactly what BlackCPG said. If I use all the tables in EFI to limit the truck not to idle above 750rpm, it still will to 1000rpm as stated above in certain conditions.

exactly. as we discussed in another thread, i suspect there is another variable in the idle control loop tables and im guessing its IAT

on a side note, i noticed there was no estimate given for turning on the manual/PTO high idle option, any info there?

Thank you both for the explaination. That makes more sense now. Ross will take a look and see where we can slot it.

As listed above

**Option enables; high idle, fog lights, wheel size. All non ECM functions; will be investigated for complexity when V8 infrastructure is finalised. **There is a possibility these will NEVER be supported.

While the term 'non ECM function' may not be a correct description for the high idle function, it's still in the right grouping.

The current development list looks like:

In Progress


Speedo adjustment - Not consistent between trucks. Appears to work on some, not others.
MIL / DTC disable list, GM style


Noted, no firm time frame:


Switchable tuning (i.e DSP for Cummins).
Removing the fan and viscous clutch without DTC's - Test Truck Required.
Sensor scaling for oil pressure, voltage, coolant temp
Adjust the temp at which the grid heater fires, and the duration
Adjust the temp at which the fan clutch engages, and level of engagement
Adjust the overhead mileage readout
Enable the B20 fuel filter option (Bio Fuel)
Adjust the fuel pump duration at key on
TPS voltage table...so we can adjust TPS sensativity.
TCC/OD Sol perf P1740 (torque converter clutch/overdrive solenoid performance) parameters.


Features Dependent on V8 Scan Tool Development


DVT controls (V8 Scan Tool feature)

Injector kill test (V8 Scan Tool only)
Torque converter lockup and force 4th gear for dyno tuning the automatics. (V8 Scan)


BBL
**Option enables; high idle, fog lights, wheel size. All non ECM functions; will be investigated for complexity when V8 infrastructure is finalised. **There is a possibility these will NEVER be supported.


More Information needed


Adjust the factory high idle not talking about the pto idle up . Change out side temp and engine temp of when it kicks in these truck have set to low; as posted here http://forum.efilive.com/showthread....l=1#post158667 (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?16572-06-07-5-9L-Feature-Request-List&p=158667&viewfull=1#post158667)

So since there has been considerable progress since January, are things like Wheel Size and high idle items that will be looked into after v8 scan tool Development AND completion of 10+ and 03-05. Tire size is one thing that I really would love to see over anything else(personal preference).

[cmcz450]

I meant to ask as well, do you currently offer tire size adjustment for Chevy's? Thanks-Corey

[dansdieselp]

Speedo calibrations are in the abs module and not the ECM in the Dodges.

[2005Dodge]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but the ability to adjust and turn off pre and post injection would be nice.

[gneal02]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but the ability to adjust and turn off pre and post injection would be nice.

That's been available since EFI started with the Cummins.

[2005Dodge]

Thanks, I am new to EFI and have not had a chance to look at the features yet. When 2005 is avaliable I am eager to dive in.

[DODGE74]

You can download the software now, download a stock Cummins file and start playing with the software and seeing how it works.

Then you will familiar with it when it comes out for you guys.

[2005Dodge]

OK thanks

[Wheelz]

sorry if this was mentioned already, If it was I just missed it. I'm passing this along from cumminsforum

the ability to change what a/c psi the fan clutch engages and disengages. It would help out with troubleshooting the fan clutch a lot, and might make the a/c in the dodges work better

thanks
JT

Just fan control in general would be great. I tow heavy and 215-220 deg are not what I like to see.

[up@12]

How about a unit that I can plug into my nav deck and will dispaly my gauges on it and or switch level?

[Cummins610]

Anything new on the with the High idle and cruise control? I really miss that feature.. It's odd with the Smarty anytime you load a file into a truck, and return that truck to stock, the high idle feature stays working, unless you flash it with a clean base tune.

[MQ105]

For now you'll need a base tune with the high idle enabled, or use a Starscan (dealer) to enable it and save that as your base tune.

[justinp]

please add

cruise control parameters

[2007 5.9]

Such as?

[justinp]

dead band amounts

amount of correction based on error amount

min max speed

etc

[cindy@efilive]

Cruise isn't controlled by the ECM, and will not be considered.

Cheers
Cindy

[easymon]

Don't think this will be a prob. when csp5 comes out for you could have 1 file or hard wire the pin for 6th file for you high idle. This was my plan there for it would not be a loaded high idle [ie] like it is now technically is a pto function.

[justinp]

cummins ecu's have always controlled the cruise. if this is one the doesn't do you have any idea what module does?
thanks

[justinp]

two things
can you add ability to select wether ecm listens to skim system
(another words ignore any security stuff. like if i don't want to use skim keys or use engine in an another application)
this would also solve the wrong vin used (oops) tow to dealer problem.
and be able to select (activate) one of the five tunes when (tow\haul) is activated
(that way we could set of a tune (especially trans stuff) automaticaly when (tow\haul) is active
thanks
justin

[comnrailpwr]

Whats in csp is what you got. No further changes will be made to my knowledge. Isn't it just as easy to turn the knob when you press tow haul, its one more step.

[justinp]

This would be an easy thing for you to add
I don't want to plug in programmer just to select a different shift schedule
would be a great feature for tune shops too
And ability to ignore all the vin checks and security crap would solve many problems

[kyle027]

A desired boost table like the lml's have would be nice.

[Dmaxink]

A desired boost table like the lml's have would be nice.

You have it. It's the waste gate duty cycles.

[dansdieselp]

I'd like to see rail pressure modifier/limit tables for coolant temp. Regardless of what rail is set to above stock it won't reach that pressure until coolant temp rises. This would be helpful in cleaning up cold startups with big injector trucks.

[kyle027]

You have it. It's the waste gate duty cycles.

Oh ok thanks. :doh2:

[b00sted]

Okay, I'll dig this one up out of the grave . . .

How about adding the option to enable/disable the secondary WIF sensor? I've got a stock tune with and without it enabled . . . shouldn't be too difficult to diff the two and track down the bits :)

New to the forum haveing issues with 2007 5.9 cummins error code reads ecm pcm mismatch skim. The truck will crank until the batterys die but will not start without ether or the fuel soaked rag. Once running idles great "smooth". But appears to have no rev limit and while going down the road running starts to miss and cut out. Almost like its trying to shut down. Just bought this truck and was told it needed injectors. But my friend pluged into the truck and shut down the injectors one by one and all apear to be working. At this point just praying someone would possibly have a explanation or solution. Any help would be great im all ears thanks god bless

This is absolutely the wrong thread to post your question in. And does not seem to be an efilive related issue at all. You would have better luck with starting your own thread either on efi forums or dodge/ram forums and posting exact P code(s).

[amishmafia00]

I am just getting used to EFI live. One of the first things that struck me was seeing only four points on the tps% axis. I am used to 8 points for tps with other tuning I do. I feel like it would be good to have more points but i'm still really green on CR stuff

[GMPX]

The table sizes (axis points) are determined by Cummins's code, not EFILive. They did address that in the 6.7L programs and expanded it to 10.
Four axis points seems pretty bad but remember the ECM interpolates between the two points, eg.
If 0% is 0mm3 and at 25% it is 10mm3, when the throttle is at 12.5% it will calculate 5mm3. It isn't as bad as it might appear.

[amishmafia00]

Bummer, I know it interpolates but it still limits the kind of curve you can make.

[Master_Chase]

The ability to rescale the coolant sensor, yes I know there's an extremely small portion of people who would benefit from this.

[justinp]

Shift defuel:# 0 - Stock (On)# 1 - OffOften called erroneously “ torque management”, this function disables the stock software engine power de rate during automatic transmission shifts or boosted launch. Please note that the shift light indicator on the dash will also becomedisabled

this is from smarty.
they found it.
efi does have the boosted launch which is great but not the shift defuel.
please add this.
