AutoVE how to for the LS2 E40 PCM using EfiLives AutoVE tutorial

Select PIDs for AutoVE

Note the following

4. In addition I select up to the maximum of 24 channels

GM.INVLVTMP_DMA Used in open loop commanded fuel maps

You must locate calc_link.txt file in C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration and change in the E40 section Open Loop Fuel IVT Multiplier

B0141.COL=GM.INVLVTMP_DMA

B0146.ROW=GM.INVLVTMP_DMA


GM.APCYL_E40_DMA Grams per cylinder, used in Spark Advance maps

SAE.BARO Not much use except to record atmosperic pressure on the day

GM.ETCTP Used in PE maps

GM.KR Actual knock from sensor

GM.KNRETFinal knock retard applied, includes GM.KR and burst knock {B1914}

The following two pids can be selected in addition to varify the changes made to the AutoVE tune after uploading to the PCM.

SAE.FUELSYS (monitors)

STATUS A and STATUS B (bank 1, bank 2) = OPEN LOOP / CLOSED LOOP

and

GM.FSST (monitors)

FSST-SFPO SECONDARY FUEL PUMP ON = YES / NO
FSST-PEA POWER ENRICHMENT ACTIVE = YES / NO
FSST-HCEA HOT COOLANT ENRICHMENT ACTIVE = YES /NO
FSST-FTLA FUEL TRIM LEARN ENABLED = YES / NO
FSST-FPO FUEL PUMP ON = YES /NO
FSST-FCLA FUEL CLOSED LOOP ACTIVE = YES/NO
FSST-DFCOA DECEL FUEL CUT OFF ACTIVE = YES / NO
FSST-CPA CAT PROTECTION ACTIVE = YES / NO


Create an AutoVE MAP


Note the following

8. Select Engine RPM from the parameters drop down list

10. Open calibration {B0200} Main VE table

11. The following labels should appear in the Col labels field:

,400,800,1200,1600,2000,2400,2800,3200,3600,4000,4 400,4800,5200,5600,6000,6400,6800

13. Select Intake Manifold Pressure (kPa) from the parameter drop down list

14. The following labels should appear in the Row labels field:

,15,20.5,26.3,31.8,37.5,43.1,48.8,54.4,60.0,65.5,7 1.3,76.9,82.5,88.1,93.8,99.4,105


Repeat process for BEN_LC12. Is it possible with dual LC-1 to perform AutoVE on both banks at the same time, ie half the time to log AutoVE average the results from each side for GMVE


Set up Open Loop, Speed Density

The easiest way would be to go to the sae_generic.txt file and add '_B' to the GM.AFR info for the Tech Edge or whichever WB you are using.

Thanks for your help :)

I have updated the how to. Tried something similar yesterday with out success, using fuel system status pid, you can log OPEN LOOP, OPEN LOOP DRIVE, CLOSED LOOP status. I was still operating closed loop...

I hadn't made the changes to B1502 to disable closed loop, I had thought MAF failure would have prevented CL? I will check DTC's again to check MAF failure is being monitored.

[Bruce Melton]

Would this apply to E38?

[Gelf VXR]

Would this apply to E38?

There is an EfiLive Virtual VE tutorial available now for the E38

[Gelf VXR]

One thing I noticed when replaying a log is that the PCM is not looking up the correct values for Inlet Valve Temp {B0146} Commanded Fuel IVT multiplier.

In the Dash board the IVT is reading 160 C, but in the {B0146} map it is looking up the correct MAP (kPa) pressure accross the collumns but only 16 C down the IVT rows??? In other words far richer than is required which is refelected in my AFR readings.

[ringram]

The main idea with any ECM and autove is to make sure you are in open loop with no O2 trims. The idea is then to make a map (with same x and y axis values and steps as the stock VE table) using the actual measured AFR or EQ or Lambda etc and work out the % error from the commanded value. Obviously if you mix metric with imperial things will go bad.
That gives you your BEN value which represents how far out your open loop VE table is. You then adjust your VE table, which should mean that commanded now more closely equals your measured values. The E40 has a standard VE table so I dont imagine things will be too tricky.
Its probably a matter of logging the right PIDs, back in the old days you had to create your own calc_pids to chew some of the stuff.
Looks like you only need be worried about table B0200
I see what you mean about the other stuff though. Are you saying IVT is being logged at 16*C not 160*C? If so email support@efilive.com
How far out is are your BEN's?

[Gelf VXR]

I'm abroad with work again now, I havn't managed to go open loop speed density with any certainty yet. I'm working on the theory side until I return and am able to have another go.

I was seeing 160 C in the dash board of the scan tool, but when i lookked at the tune tool table it was looking up the row for 16 C.

I did manage a couple of logs, i would post my SD tune and logs, i'm not sure how, is there a host like photobucket for pics?

Here are pics from the scan tool and then tune tool from a paused log play back

1. Scan Tool: IVT = 162 C , ECT = 93 C, MAP = 30 kPa

why are we still told to set PE to 14.63?
personally i don`t want to be 14.63
at low kPa and high RPM. (high RPM deceleration or with any FI)
just my opinion of course.

I'm new to this, as far as i am aware there are two areas the PCM looks up to determine commanded AFR, PE and commanded open loop, which ever is the richest, is the AFR used. By setting PE to 14.63 means that it is ignored and the open loop map is used instead. How ever, I have been directed to an HP Tuners how to for the LS2 which says to set the open loop commanded AFR to EQ 1 and PE to your desired AFR.

read what i said as to WHY i would not set your PE to 14.63.
unless you are in the high MAP values you will be lean(er)
than you should be at higher RPM.
you don`t want to go road racing like this.

Bear with with, I understand where you are coming from now, from the table below PE is enabled at increasingly lower TPS values as RPM increases above 3070 with higher EQ values, and where map values are low.

Setting the PE to EQ 1 means the engine will run dangerously lean in these conditions unless provisions are made in the open loop commanded multiplier IVT map. Hence Alternative how to sets the PE to EQ1.13 at all RPM's and commanded open loop to EQ 1, but doing that removes enrichment during cold start and warm up conditions.

8190 7.998658 1.219727

Sorry about the table, cant get it to seperate columns


This still leaves two options for setting commanded AFR, bearing in mind that in my recent logs GM.AFR_B reports the 14.7:1, the PE commanded value not the open loop commanded value, during cold start when i know it was commanding richer and was running richer. Could be related to the bug I reported earlier. The BEN value is derived from Actual AFR/GM.AFR_B.

Option A: (EfiLive) Set PE to EQ = 1 and set open loop map values less than EQ 1.13 to 1.13 (running rich in all conditions, engine protected under high rpm low kPa, smooth AFR transition under all conditions, not good for cats thou??)

Option B: (Alternative) Set PE to EQ = 1.13 and set open loop values to EQ =1 apart from where enrichment is taking place during warm up (enrichment during warm up, stoich under low TPS, RPM and MAP, variable AFR's) Could lower the TPS/RPM threshold so that PE is commanded for all conditions??

From what I remember smooth AFR transition is required for AutoVE??

Be gentle lol

[redhardsupra]

never set PE to 1. AFR%error gets calculated from AFRcommanded, thus it will account for non 1 PE's.

[Gelf VXR]

One thing I noticed when replaying a log is that the PCM is not looking up the correct values for Inlet Valve Temp {B0146} Commanded Fuel IVT multiplier.

In the Dash board the IVT is reading 160 C, but in the {B0146} map it is looking up the correct MAP (kPa) pressure accross the collumns but only 16 C down the IVT rows??? In other words far richer than is required which is refelected in my AFR readings.

I've seen this come up in other threads.

Should EQ values of 1.00 be used in the AutoVE process or does this onlt affect semi open loop in custom operating systems :help2:

[ringram]

Well my understanding is that EQ 1 is just a value to make everything consistent and reduce variations where adjacent cells command different values throwing our your BEN map.
You can equally well command 13:1 everywhere (EQ 1.13) though fuel economy will suffer until you finish your ve and return to more saner values.
The other guys are right, you dont want to be at EQ 1 under WOT conditions especially with FI.
I just used to command 14.63 up to 80kpa then 13:1 thereafter and AUTOVE to that.
You "should" be able to do that by telling PE to trigger on 80kpa and not trigger on TPS (ie set TPS trigger to 0% or 1% etc) and command 1.13 at that point up.

Hi, thanks, you misunderstood my I think? What I meant was if you command EQ = 1, the PCM will ignore the wide band and look to the NB and try to go closed loop. Setting EQ to something near stoich means the PCM will always be using the wideband?

[5.7ute]

Hi, thanks, you misunderstood my I think? What I meant was if you command EQ = 1, the PCM will ignore the wide band and look to the NB and try to go closed loop. Setting EQ to something near stoich means the PCM will always be using the wideband?
The commanded EQ of 1.0 is an offshoot of the days tuning was done with LTFT since this corresponds with the known switchpoint of the narrowband sensor. Now we all are tuning with widebands we can set our fuelling maps to where we want them to be, and not have to worry about melting our engines when tuning the higher map cells.
Semi open loop is only in the custom operating sytems so is not an issue with these PCM's.

I thought i had this problem sorted, when i entered the E38.INVLTMP_DMA for ****B0146.ROW unknown***** ii did not work, i wondered why i was asked to use the E38 pid when i'm using an E40 and i noticed that the E40 uses GM.INVLTMP_DMA, so I entered that, now its been a while i don't rightly remember if this worked or not.

I have updated to 7.5.3 and neither works with any of my saved log files. How do i get the scan tool to accept an E38 as a valid pid when i',m using an E40?

I'm home in a couple of days, i'm determined to start the AutoVE process..

I don't have an e40 I'm actually tuning my friends GTO. I just want a tried and true way to make it right. When I get more advanced at this stuff I'd love to get into trying more things. My car is a 98 ls1 and I like messing around with it and seeing what new tricks I can do. But when I look at all the tables and whatnot for the e40 (2005 GTO) I get a little confused much like when I first started attacking the ls1 stuff. I think I have the tune for the GTO ready to do an autove. I would presume that I can do an autoMAF in the same manner as I would on my car? I don't think I'll need to at this moment but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it :)
