Hi Guys,

While looking at some T43 data, I noticed that there were two TFT PID's, one from the ECM and one from the TCM. They are named identically in the V8 BBL screen as can be seen here.....

11988

Is this correct? If so, should both return data?

Simon.

I have seen this before with other PIDs. Seems as if the module with the original data/sensor has the more up to date information. I tried to log more data this way but the PIDs I selected were too delayed to be helpful. If it is critical time wise, I would use the module where the information originates from.

I found that the ECM-TFT PID returned no data at all. So I'm now checking the TCM-TFT PID to see if it works. I've never really had a big issue with slow downs, at least not since I first started using EFILive. Now that the support for the CAN bus and the E38 is very good, 40 frames/Sec can be maintained quite well.
