Currently known issues and possible workarounds for the August 27, 2015 Public Pre-Release of the EFILive Software and Firmware
Download the current/stable release software here: http://www.efilive.com/latest/cat/download-efilive
Download the public pre-release software here: https://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?25899-Aug-27-2015-EFILive-Public-Pre-Release
Public pre-release software versions:
Software: V7.5.7.292
Software: V8.2.2.285
FlashScan/AutoCal firmware: V2.07.90
Issue 1:
If you are Black Box Logging PIDs from an ECM and TCM simultaneously and you have selected a PID from the transmission controller (TCM) that has an identically named PID in the engine controller (ECM), then when the log file is loaded back into the V8 software for viewing, that TCM PID will be displayed as if it originated from the ECM. The PID's data will have correctly been logged from the TCM, only its name will appear to indicate that it was logged from the ECM.
Workaround:
None.
It is a restriction of the *.efi (V7.5 log file format). That restriction will be removed and the TCM PIDs will display their true origin once the V8 scan tool software is available.
Issue 2:
The V8 scan tool [F3: Data] display does not allow the type of units to be selected for each PID being displayed.
Workaround:
None. Will be fixed in the next update.
Issue 3:
The V8 scan tool [F4: OBD] display may display spurious DTCs for the E86 platform and/or may not display the SRT results for one or the other controller when both an ECM and TCM are present in the vehicle.
Workaround:
None. Will be fixed in the next update.
