That will create a text file called DTCxxxxx that you can copy to your PC and open/view with Notepad.

Here's an example I pulled from my LS1B... it shows the states of the continuous/non-continous monitors (I xxx'd out my VIN).

Paul,

You may have to post what all the characters in "M-PHX-CS" mean in regards to the state of a DTC.

Thanks,
Joe

I've also had times when the V2 will log fine, then other times it appears to go into "pause" mode ( left hand green LED flashing slowly ) but you can't take it out of pause mode. Sometimes the displayed data also seems to freeze when this occurs, but not always. Pressing the <cancel> key will terminate the logging session and save the file. When I check the log files in ScanTool, the file is only 2KB in size and only the meta-data appears in the log.

I have another update for this. I stated logging this afternoon and very quickly the V2 dropped into "pause" mode. I tried pressing the pause button a few time and found that if I held it down, it would drop out of pause mode and start to log, but go straight back to pause mode as soon as I let go.

I then reset the V2 and started logging again but some time down the road it again went into pause mode. Hitting <cancel> saved the log file, but it is just the first 2K of the meta-data.

Pids when logging (LMM)

I know that the main focus is DVT & Standalone logging but I found some weird things some have gone on for a while the first one is GM.EGR this is the actual position of the egr. When logging with the egr enabled I beleived it worked a long time ago. Now if I use it with the EGR tuned out it shows 100% all the time if it was actualy at 100% the truck would smoke real bad but all is well with the truck. The other ones are SAE.MAP and GM.MAP2 these don't read the same wich one is the best to use for reading boost? Usualy wich ones are better for logging also SAE. or GM. ?

Thanks

Paul,

In the file attached to that post, the freeze frame data contains this entry: $119E=$8B

The values that show up like that in the freeze frames are just data items in the freeze frame that we have not defined yet. We'll get there :)

I'll check the GM.EGR PID. Which vehicle/controller are you logging?

I would always use the SAE PIDs where possible. They must be provided in a defined manner by the manufacturers by law. They will usually be the most reliable PIDs.

The GM.MAP2 matches my boost table and the SAE.MAP is nowhere even close.

Thanks
