Currently known issues and possible workarounds for the March 2016 Pre-Release of the EFILive Software and Firmware
Download the March 2016 pre-release here: https://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?26476-March-2016-EFILive-Pre-Release
Download the public stable-release here: http://www.efilive.com/latest/cat/download-efilive
Pre-release software versions:
Software: V7.5.7.303
Software: V8.2.2.294
FlashScan/AutoCal firmware: V2.07.97
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:
When logging DMA PIDs (i.e. PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround:
EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.
Issue 3:
"Invalid floating point" error when opening E78 OS 12654014 tune files.
Workaround:
Download 12654014.calz (https://forum.efilive.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=19433&d=1459387286) and save it into the folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\EFILive\V7.5\Calibrations\E78, overwrite the existing file.
