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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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
June 27th, 2011, 05:31 PM
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
June 27th, 2011, 07:54 PM
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
June 27th, 2011, 10:00 PM

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
June 28th, 2011, 04:31 AM
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

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
June 28th, 2011, 10:34 AM
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.

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
June 28th, 2011, 03:23 PM
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
June 29th, 2011, 03:02 AM
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.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Question on dealer enabled options.

If you have certain options enabled by the dealer and then copy the stock tune, modify, and re-write will those options stay enabled?

Such as manual fast idle, door locks, B20 kit, etc?

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


This would be great if you could atleast enable the factory settings.

Since I flashed with a fresh os I lost my high idle function. I used this function alot while catching some shut eye from plowing snow.

If I remember correctly, as long as you stay with your factory tune and modify it, you features should not change.

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.


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.

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.

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
January 30th, 2012, 04:40 AM
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.

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).

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

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).

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
May 21st, 2017, 05:02 PM
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.

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.

efi does have the boosted launch which is great but not the shift defuel.
