    So you simply loaded the Options.txt file from the download straight into your V2 and started logging? That works just fine but you have 0 control over your PID selection until you fire up Notepad and go edit the Options.txt file with the appropriate PIDs. It is located in the "C:\ProgramData\EFILive\V8\Config" for Vista and for 2000/XP "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\EFILive\V8". Look for the LMM Auto part in the file and look at how the TCM PIDs are added into the ECM PID section.

    You cannot log both the ECM and TCM using a laptop with V7, when V8 is fully released you will be able to but until then you need to use V2 BBL.

    If either of you need help setting up your Options.txt file let me know!

    I'm not trying to log ECM and TCM at the same time. I'm just trying to log TCM with the laptop, and I don't have any available transmission PIDs.

    Have you looked under your user name as well? Im not sure why the document says this (I copied it straight from the EFILive doc) but IIRC on my Win XP machines there was nothing in the All Users section instead it was under my user name.

    Hmmm...stupid question but have you guys validated the trans PIDs in the scan tool? Connect to the the TCM (File->Select Controller) then validate the PIDs for that controller (Info->Validate PIDs). Just selecting the TCM will not give you the PIDs until you validate them.

    If this doesnt work then maybe there's something deeper going on here that support needs to address. This is what I had to do when I scanned my P10 initially and again a few weeks ago when I connected to my E67 and again with my T42.

    Yes, you need to validate pids like scarab said. the 08 07 06 allisons are all the same. I have had zero problems logging mine.

    If this gives you problems i would suggest using BBL to log instead. Its a lot easier than you might think and it will log both TCM and ECM at the same time which is extremely helpful when trying to hunt down a little bugger like that.

    I'll give it a look and see what it does. Thanks.

    I thought that's what it did when the green bar was progressing across the screen when you connected, but I haven't tried it so I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice.
