A lot of PID's missing

[joshp14]

I upgraded to the new software 7.5.7 Build 170. I am attempting to log misfires, but for some reason the PID's are gone. It also seems as if the PID list has been cut in half. None of the GM PID's are there anymore (IE GM.KR). Even the 'Misfire' selection in the system dropdown (shown in pic) is gone too. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I unselected the "Supported" checkbox. This software update has been hell for me.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Josh,

There's a new software build, do a manual install from Pre-Release-Update-July-27-2011 (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?16919-Pre-Release-Update-July-27-2011)

Install both V7 and V8 from there, and then also install V2 bootblock 2.07.03 and firmware 2.07.16.

i already have v8 installed. whats the point of having v8 installed? do i uninstall both programs then install manually? i literally updated everything last week to the newest stuff and thats when i started having problems with the PID selections. I cant even do any autove because all of the PID's arent there to select. Will this update FIX my problem?

Do you want your pids to reappear...? :) uninstall and then install V7 manually (i.e. do not do the update).

Why do you need V8...? So you can install the newer firmware, this makes your V2 firmware version compatible with your V7 build version.

Do you have these installed:
- V7 build 173
- V8 build 162
- V2 bootblock 2.07.03
- V2 firmware 2.07.16


Why else do you want V8...? So you can do BBL and BBF (i.e. avoids the need to have laptop in car).

ok uninstalled V7 and V8. Reinstalled with the links provided above and then updated boot block and firmware.

I still have the same problem. Apparently I'm doing something wrong....

Hey Joecar, can cummins bbl and bbf

[joshp14]

Once installed, is there something else I have to do to get these PID's to show up? I tried the 'validate PID's' in the info drop down but no luck.

Once installed, is there something else I have to do to get these PID's to show up? I tried the 'validate PID's' in the info drop down but no luck.Do this:
- connect scantool to vehicle,
- File->Connect,
- File->Enter VIN,
- File->Select Controller,
- Info->Validate PIDs,

does it see pids now...?

What year/model/vehicle...?

[06redram]

Not that I know yet.

Thanks

BBF has been testing and working on the Cummins, BBL not yet.

Did you do this with the FlashScan hooked up to your car/truck and the key on? Plus were you connected to the ECM/PCM (green button in the upper left of the scan tool). You have to be connected to the vehicle to validate the PIDs.

I just encoutered this after upgrading to the latest version using the 'auto update' feature. I lost a heap of GM.pids and all of my calc.pids.

Put simply, you need to do the manual update and re-verify the pids when hooked up to the car, to ensure they work correctly.

I certainly scratched the old noggin for a while over this one this morning....

cheers

[joshp14]

Yes I tried it the way Joecar mentioned via the File and Info dropdowns at top. Yes the scan tool was connected to the vehicle, key on engine off. I know I'm connected because the VIN is reading at bottom of screen. I've tried on an 01 Firebird and a 00 Camaro, same problem on both cars.

[macca33]

Sorry mate, your isusue is far beyond my capability - I was just happy that mine all returned for me.

Good luck with yours.

cheers

Dont use auto update, download the latest software and uninstall all previous efilive stuff before you install it. Look in the updates section of the forum, theres a thread dated july 29th and has updates posted today (july 31st) in it.
