For example, to log O2 sensor voltages in the E38, add these lines...

ECM, O2S11V
ECM, O2S21V

Remember to watch your channel count when adding additional PIDs.

Are you sure, you've copied the latest *.pmm files from the downloaded/extracted zip file to the [Config] tab page in EFILive_Explorer?

After deleting codes, can you save the trace file and email it to me at [email protected]. The trace file option is in the scan tool options menu on FlashScan.

Exit from all EFILive software.

1. Run regedit
On XP click start->Run, enter regedit and click ok.
On Vista, click start, enter regedit into the search box (just above the start button) and click on the regedit link that appears.

2. Locate the key
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7\Properties \Dir
or
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7.5\Properti es\Dir
depending on whether you are running V7.4 or V7.5

3. Delete the Dir key and all its subkeys.

4. Restart the scan tool.

Deleting that key will clear all "known" EFILive folder locations. The next time EFILive is started it will figure out the correct folder names - assuming the software is installed correctly.

If that does not work, uninstall the software, delete the registry key:
\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\EFILive\V7.5 (or V7)
That will reset ALL EFILive's settings.

Note: uninstalling and re-installing the software does not reset the registry information. That is why I suggested doing it manually.

Yes, that's good.

It is even faster if your PC has a card reader and you plug the SD card into your PC and extract the files that way just using Windows Explorer (instead of EFILive_Explorer).

Just double- checked the .pmm files. The Config. tab page shows they were all created 5-03-08 @ 8:57PM. I assume these are the latest?

That's exactly what I do...

I log to the SD card and I read it back with EE... :good:

I have multiple laptops/PCs so I only delete the log files from V2 when I know all laptops/PCs are sync'd up.
