Note: it will take slightly longer to startup because it has to read all the PID info into memory. It will also take a little bit longer when selecting a different set of PIDs because it has to save your selection to the Settings.dat file.

ok I thought tht this was going to be updated in this release. are guys going to fix tht so we wont have to go in and edit the unsaported pids Thanks

I tried to hook up flashscan to my LB7 just now and when I try to read DTC's it gives me error $0280- no vehicle detected....my key is on, bootblock v2.5.8, firmware 2.5.17 (622) . efi live v.2.5.4 build 63 in both scan and tune tools. all up to date I thought. my computer recognizes the flashscan so it can't be a driver issue right?

Hi Joe,

Can you boot FlashScan (to clear out any trace file data), then do a "Record all diags" and save the trace file immediately afterwards.
Then once you think those max limits may have changed, boot FlashScan, then do a "Record all diags" and save the trace file immediately afterwards.
Please send me the two dtc files and the two trace files. That way I can see if the PCM is really sending two different max limits, thanks.

P.S. You can boot FlashScan using Ctrl+Cancel. No need to unplug.

Regards
Paul

Yes, there will eventually be a windows style interface for selecting/deselecting PIDs.

Error $280 is "Unsupported protocol (i.e. no vehicle detected)".

When ignition is on and FlashScan is connected, press Ctrl+Ok which causes FlashScan to re-detect the protocol, you should see VPW XX appear in the lower right corner of FlashScan's display. The XX is the number of modules detected with the VPW protocol.

As a last resort try, Ctrl+Cancel, which reboots FlashScan and also re-detects the protocol.

Paul

After installing V8.1.1, there will be a file called:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8.1\Documentation\ReadMe.rtf (or ReadMe.pdf)

Please open that document and it will explain how to complete the FlashScan V2 upgrade process.

Where can I get the updated users manual.

It's not available yet.

Few questions: There are modifications being made to the tune switching part of the V2 firmware... When will the actual OS be available that it'll work with? Also, with the 5 speed and 6 speed Allison calibration update, where any tables added or changed? One more... In the BBL PID TSTATE16, are there any more sub-PIDs? Shouldn't there be adapt cells for all the shifts (N-R, R-N, N-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, {5-6, 6-5}*, 5-4, 4-3, 3-2, 2-1, 1-N)?
