BiDi controls?

[AustinL911A]

I noticed that these weren't available when scanning my friends '05 vette. Any plans on offering these anytime soon?

[TAQuickness]

Were you logging when you tried to open the BIDI?

If so, how many channels where you logging? If it was 24 or less, the BIDI panel will be disabled.

ummmmm. I don't know.... :bash:

I just logged whatever the default PIDs were. I couldn't get into BiDi controls while logging, monitering, or while doing nothing. Me thinks they are disabled at this point.

:help2:

Hmmm... the bidi buttons are always greyed out...

Connected to vehicle, not logging, bidi buttons greyed out;
Connected to vehicle, logging/recording, bidi buttons greyed out;

what did I miss...?


Edit: this is using 475_605_555

Good question.......

Just had a guy call about baselining a 06' Trailblazer........after I hung up the phone I asked myself the same question about the BiDi controls.

Its auto and I want to hold 3rd and lock the converter for a base pull. What is the answer??

Worst comes to worst I can screw with the shift schedule but don't feel like we should go through all that drama!

They seem to work in the some versions prior to 475_605_555, I was doing this sometime in Oct/Nov 2006.

Joe,

what do you mean??:nixweiss:

[Tordne]

Are these LS1 (GenIII) or LS2 (GenIV) vehicles in question?

[joecar]

On the Scan Tool, the buttons for doing BiDi are always greyed out... for any vehicle.

I just ran into an annoying situation with this the other day. Never had problems until upgrading. After selecting the controller type from the File menu, the Bidi controls were re-enabled. Might want to give that a try.

Justin,

Ok, so that's the trick, will do. :cheers:

Thanks,

I can't get them to work for my friend's '05 LS2 vette. They work fine on my '03 LS6 vette.

I don't have my software handy to try out the setting issue. I will report back with details later.

FWIW, Ive never been able to use BiDi on my LL8 for a dyno pull, I too would love to lock it in 3rd to get a 1:1 ratio while doing the pulls. I dont know whats up, but will the LL8 ever see BiDi, or is the PCM too screwey for that?

Where is this??:nixweiss:

[joecar]

Howard,

These buttons, and the menu items under Bidirectional would stay greyed out unless I first go File->Select Controller and enter the PCM type.

How come I don't see those items under FILE??

I got the guys truck on the dyno and are beached!!!

Are you running the latest build?

[Redline Motorsports]

Scan Tool V7.3.3 (Build 458)
obdiiV7 V7.3.3 (Build 585)

[dc_justin]

Build 458 and 585

I'm not sure if the select controller feature was on that build. Bidi controls always worked for me without any configuration until build 555...

[Redline Motorsports]

I believe this is the lastest build per the web site.

[ScarabEpic22]

Per the website, yes, per the forums, no.

Heres the link to the most current build which should help this: http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=4108

Vortec Cals are in the Vortec section if you need them.

[Tordne]

I've actually just updated the downloads page on the website as well. Was going to have waited till the new build comes out, but there are a lot of new cals in the 23rd Dec 06 build.

[Redline Motorsports]

We'll downloaded that download the new file and everything works!:cheers:

[Tordne]

Yayayaya

[ScarabEpic22]

Awesome man!

@Tordne, didnt even check the downloads section, if there is a build in the forums I use that instead regardless if it has updates for me or not. Thanks though!:)
