When i apply the fan patch, i can't see any values below 192*F. Can someone please enlighten me as to what i'm doing wrong.

Thanks.

Paul was going to fix that problem in the tune tool... I think he might have missed it off his "to do" list :)
It works, but you cant see the correct new numbers. Maybe ping support@efilive.com a email about it. I have the same problem.

Weird thing is, the first time I ever applied it, it worked. The two tunes following, does not reveal the lower temp tables.

I have no idea how to scale the fans for lower temps when I can't see the tables.

From an earlier post:

Follow the normal process to apply the patch.
Then open G0901. The first vaue is still 89'C, but it repesents a value about 9'C lower.
If you want to activate the fans at 90'C, then change the % in the 99'C label.
You might have to play with values to get the desired values.

Yep, I bet you upgraded the software between those 2 times too :)

No, you're not out of luck.

It should work fine. The patch is applied and you're good to go. Just the labels on the table are not showing the correct values. As Izak said, after the patch is applied, "assume" the labels are correct.

I will fix it in the next update its now on the whiteboard so it can't get forgotten again.

After the patch is applied, the labels should be assumed to displayed as:

Degrees C:
76,78,81,84,87,90,92,95,98,101,104,106,109,112,115 ,118,121

Degrees F:
168,172,177,183,188,194,197,203,208,213,219,222,22 8,233,239,244,249

I see. So I need to transpose the current temp figures for the ones above.

Cool. That was easy.

Thank you kind sir. :cheers:

Thankyou sir!

Had previously noticed that fan 1 turned on at about 45%, fan 2 @ 90%. Is this still the same with the expanded scale?

There is no fan 1 or 2. Just the one fan which is pulse width modulated to vary the speed (percentage).

The E38's I work with have fan 1 and fan 2 (also a fan 3 line, but not used), and the E38 operates two relays and the fans turn on and off via the relays, at two different temperature points.

I was refering to a C6 Vette.

Dont know if this fix got into build 78, but I noticed now that the expanded scale is there after the patch is applied...and the file is closed and opened again. :)

Just be aware that after B78, if you compare post patch settings to the standard settings, that they are not displayed correctly due to the scale changes
