Known Issues:

Issue #1: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.

Issue #2: The "What's New" document shows the EFILive V8 software version as V8.2.28 instead of V8.3.28.
Workaround: Just assume it says V8.3.28 :).

Issue #3: When Flashing CMF (CM2450B) controllers using FlashScan V2 in standalone mode, the progress meter does not update/display the progress of the flash.
Workaround: Ignore the progress meter. Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue #4: When using FlashScan V2 in standalone mode to display trouble codes, selecting the "EPA Current DTCs" and/or the "EPA Pending DTCs" options does not display any trouble codes - even if trouble codes are active.
Workaround: Use the V8 software option: [F4: OBD]->[Read] to view DTCs. Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue #5: For some E37, E38 and/or E67 operating systems, the data in the "High Octane Spark Map" {B5101} is displayed as raw hex values instead of degrees from top dead center.
Workaround: Download the file: E37_E38_E67_B5101_fix.zip and unzip the contents into the folder: \Program Files\EFILive\V8\cam overwrite the existing files. You may need Windows Administrator privileges to copy files into that folder.

Issues #2..#5 have been resolved/fixed in the latest beta release available here.

Hi Millsy,

Not removed, it was never implemented for that OS (it was never in V7.5 either).
I'll find out if it is possible to add the patch for that OS.

Regards
Paul

Thanks Paul,

Very strange.

I tuned another VF GTS with the same OS only a month ago and the patches were there and applied.

I only updated last week and now it seems they are gone.

Let me know asap.

Millsy

We have not removed any of the patches. It's just that some OSes do not have the patch implemented. The 2 VF GTS controllers must have had different OSes, one with the patch and one without.
Anyway, we have found that the patch is not needed on the later model ECMs. It was really only the VE that needed the patch.

The patch is not required and you can run them in in speed density mode without needing to patch them, it was only really the VE commodores that required patching as the traction light would come on and trans go firm, VF does not do this even with E38 controller and can be run in speed density without needing to be patched.

Paul

Thanks Paul,

After looking through some old VF E38 and VF E67 tunes, it appears I have still applied the patch to mafless VF E38 tunes.

As you kindly pointed out, the patch does not appear in E67 tunes. I will investigate further as to why car no.2 has the traction light on and car no.1 did not.
