View Full Version : Reading Lambda on LM-2 when Stoichiometric is 14.2 in tune

I'm working on getting myself educated to start using my LM-2 and I know my {B3671} Stoichiometric AFR is set at 14.2 (Nothing but +/- E10 here)

The LM-2 is factory set to show Stoich of 14.7 and if I want to read Stoich in my setup I would need to change the LM-2 to other Volt readings from what I gather. Is reading Lambda the same way? or when you read lambda it does not matter?

In searching there is a ton on information on the LC1, but I cant seem to find the correct correlation to the LM-2

Thanks in advance,

John-

Yes, correct, Lambda is the same regardless of fuel used.

To see Lambda in the scantool, the pid CALC.AFR_LM11 has to be divided by 14.7 (which is the stoich AFR value setup in the LM-1).

Joe,

Ok, so this file

"{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}"


Should be changed to read: "{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{14.7}" or "{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}/{14.7}" ???

and then copied an inserted into the calc_pids.txt file??

From the old tutorial I'm not to modify the sae file, just obtain the pid information from there correct?





Sorry for to question - This is my first edited pid.......

The measured Lambda is: "{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{14.7}"

The BEN correction is: ""{GM.EQIVRATIO}*{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{14.7}"

"{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}"

the problems with that are these:
- LM-1 has a programmable stoich AFR which is usually (but not always) 14.7,
- GM.AFR depends on the value of B3601 (which can be set to other than 14.7),

this is why GM.EQIVRATIO is used (it is 1/lambda).

"{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}/{14.7}

That is incorrect, it would have to be this (assuming B3610 is set to 14.2 for E10):

"{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{GM.AFR}/14.7*14.2"

but by using GM.EQIVRATIO you can reduce that to this:

"{GM.EQIVRATIO}*{CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR}/{14.7}"

...Hi John,

DO you have FlashScan V1 or V2...?

Do you have the serial comms (null modem) cable connecting your LM-1 to your V2...?

Joe,

Very much appreciate the information.

I'm using V2 and I made the serial cable that connects the LM-2 to the V2..... Its an LM-2...

Let me know if you need anything else.

Best,

John~

Joe,

I don't have B3601 rather B3671 (Stoichiometric AFR) and its set to 14.20

...John,

With the serial comms wideband input into V2, you can simply use the calc_pids.txt from the Calc.VET tutorial...

you would use the pid CALC.WO2BEN for pure wideband tuning

( you would use CALC.SELBEN for mixed wideband/LTFT tuning )

Note that with serial wideband the you ware now interested in the serial pids EXT.WO2xxxx (and CALC.WO2BEN)

i.e you can now forget about the analog pids EXT.ADx (and also CALC.AFR_LM11.AFR)...


look at the pids in this calc_pids.txt file (attached), these are all you need now with the serial comms connection...

i.e. tune using EQR and/or Lambda, this is what the pid CALC.WO2BEN does.

Joe,

I don't have B3601 rather B3671 (Stoichiometric AFR) and its set to 14.20Ah, ok, B3671 behaves the same as B3601 (sets the stoichiometric AFR for the fuel you're using).

Wonderful~ Thank you again......

In the Flash-Scan I see that under edit settings (f4, f1, f1) the Stoich value is set at 14.7

As I'm running E10 should I change that to 14.2 or does the Flash-Scan program not care when I'm reading lambda?

Just want the readings to be correct before I start making any changes.


Thanks,

Use the LM Programmer software to set your LM-2's stoich AFR to 14.2... then you will view 14.2 on the FSV2 LCD.


For tuning, you use Lambda which is independent of stoich AFR.

Thanks Joe -

The LM-2 software does not have a 14.2 setting in its drop down adjustment box, but I'm sure there are voltage ranges I can use.

I'll give them a call and see what they can recommend.

Thanks,

John
