Is it possible for an EFIlive user to define GM PIDs that are not listed in the current PID list?
i.e. transmission PID's such as TCC pressure & Transmission Fluid Temperature - Substrate: TFTS (vs TFT).
Cheers.

On a somewhat related note, (hopefully not a threadjack!) is there an ETA for additional A6 parameters to be released? The EFILive competitor has released many more tables for the A6 transmissions which would be very beneficial (see attachment) for EFILive users as well.
I don't mean to complain, as I know the EFILive staff is very busy and doing great things for this market. If EFILive doesn't plan to add these tables I will purchase HPT for transmission tuning.
Yes, if you know the PID number and the scaling for the PID. You can just add them to the C:\Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\Configuration\sae_generic.txt file.Quote:

Which parameters exactly are not available in EFILive? Sometimes the same parameters are called different things in EFILive. If you provide a list of which parameters you think should be in EFILive we can tell you if they are there and just called something else, or we can add them in for the next release.Quote:

Thankyou Paul. I cant find a GM PID section in sae_generic.txt. Only SAE defined generic PID's etc.Quote:

They have since added more parameters to torque management as well, currently in beta (see attachment).
I am particularly interested in being able to modify downshift calibrations, from braking to WOT. These include most items under their "shift properties" tab. Also interested in better control of torque management, beyond simply on/off.
Is there a way to log downshifts? I see PIDs for Last (1->2, 2->3, 3->4), but 4->5, and 5->6 still seem to be missing for the 6 speed boxes, as well as a way to log any downshifts. "last shift time" doesn't seem to monitor downshifts.
These 6 speed boxes seem to use some incredibly complex logic! There is some great discussion going here: http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showth...ht=walkthrough. It's no longer simply a matter of selecting your speed and shift time for each shift as it was for the 4 speeds!
Thanks in advance,
Josh
Just add them to the end of the SAE section. See attached image.Quote:

Yes, they are complex. I've asked Ross to take a look. He can add in anything that needs adding. But that won't happen until later next week wehn we get back from SEMA.Quote:

Thankyou. Now just need to find the PID number associated with the PID name. Would I be right in assuming all the GM PIDs that already appear in the Scantool PID list are associated with the VIN/ECM type and are embedded in gm_enhanced.prn?Quote:

Would guess you got plenty of very market relevant feedback at SEMA. :grin:
Cheerz.
Yes they are in gm_enhanced.prn, but the enhanced scan tool data is restricted by the manufacturer and we are not allowed to disseminate that info. But if you have another source for that info then you can fairly easily add your own PIDs.Quote:

Can you resend this to my email: paul@efilive.com that way it will get into the development cycle.

We have not been flooded with requests for greater tuning controls on the T43, in fact the opposite, however, I am aware that HPT released an update that contains some tables that has sparked some interest of what some further control might allow.
I will be back on the T43 soon because there is still some unsupported 2009 model TCM's we need to finish off.
Cheers,
Ross
Surely an alien, or least an engineer with a healthy budget!
Just what I was hoping to hear, Ross. Any idea if "soon" means a week, a month, or ? If you want to release the new tables via beta I would be happy to test. We have two T43s (FWD Saturn Aura 6T70, and RWD Yukon Denali 6L80).
Thanks for the continued support, EFI crew.
Josh
Just chiming in to let you guys know there is definitely interest in T43 support. For me, 2009 OS support is the #1 request, followed by the ability to define the forward range select actions. Thanks!

I for 1 have been requesting A6 support (like HPTuners) for quite a while ... I also know of 3 other Efilive users that are in the same boat ... Can we at least get an ETA on the updates?
Thanks,
Alex
Do you mean extra tables for tuning/calibrating or do you mean extra PIDs for data logging?Quote:

Another item for the wish list: the ability to modify torque management tables (more than just the on/off that exists now).
Is there an ETA for 2009 T43 OS support?
One addition to tables, would be under torque management the Stall Torque Management Parameters as shown on one of the previous screen shots. I don't believe we have access to that.
Cool !!!!:grin:Quote:

Any updates here guys?
An update is due out today but will not include any new T42/T43 PIDs.Quote:

Well, while it's not the bulk of my business, just like the old 4L60e, the 6L80/90 units are starting to find themselves into different platforms where they are not native.
I would imagine that there's tons of set up type parameters which would be specific to the application that would be very hand to mess with for trans swaps.
Here's my vote. Yes, I would also like to have more tuning options and naturally, more T43 pids as well.....

There are some trans tables (for the T42) that have been added/modified in the update later today. Not sure what the changes are though.Quote:

Impressive set of additions to the T42 today: THANKYOU! Now for the T43....:grin:Quote:

Anyone know why these are 7 weeks late? I don't desire to come across as rude, but if EFI live doesn't plan to fully support the 6 speed boxes I will need to purchase HPT.
Yes, I know why they are late. :shock:
The PID definitions must fit into a 64K memory block (due to the architecture in the FlashScan firmware). Adding in new PID definitions caused the *.pmm files to go over that limit.
The *.pmm files had to be completely redesigned and the FlashScan firmware updated to work with smaller, more efficient PID definitions.
In all, it has been a very worthwhile update and fixed a number of issues that in the future would have become larger problems. I'm very happy they are now dealt with and they won't impact on future deployments.
Anyway the upshot is the new PIDs will be available as part of the standalone reading/flashing beta release which I am planning to get underway at end of Feb. (not long to go now).
You'll need to join the beta group to participate - I will be posting up a new beta forum before the end of Feb.
