    Exclamation BBL triggering Free to air CAL on LC1

    hello everyone,
    after updating to the latest firmware 2.06.08 then 09 I'm having a problem with the LC1 the BBL keeps on triggering the free to air CAL every few seconds.

    all values are shown correctly but not sure why it keeps on doing that.

    Nasser,

    How can you tell...?

    Can you take some pics...?

    Do you have the serial AFR cable...?

    Do you have the LED/pushbutton connected...?

    I have a serial cable yes and it was working just fine before updating to the latest firmware,
    I have a digital gauge installed from Innovate to keep watching my AFR all the time and I can see on the gauge when it's warming up or Calibrating the free to air or the heater.
    and you can see that on BBL LCD too now.

    now the reading is messed up from the repetition of the free to air cal and I have to reprogram the gauge again but I'll do that after sorting out this problem.

    Confirmed (unfortunately).

    FlashScan is transmitting the PID data out the serial connection even when the serial connection is set to WO2. It should only be transmitting PID data when the connection is set to Dyno.

    Whenever a certain byte sequence is transmitted (i.e. part of the PID data), the LC1 thinks it is being commanded to do a free air calibration.

    I will fix it and send out a firmware update asap.

    Regards
    Paul

    This is happening because of the firmware?
    I have been cruising around all day yesterday and today with
    LC-1 to serial with no problem.
    I did however notice AD2 does not work since the new firmware.
    AD2 died
    512k RoadRunner Firmware 12.14R
    FlashScan V2 Bootblock V2.07.04 Firmware V2.07.22 EFILive V7.5.7 (Build 191) V8.2.1 (Build 181)
    LC-1 WBO2

    The LC-1 requires a lower case 'c' to be transmitted to calibrate it. If the PID data contains a lower case c then the LC-1 will do a free air calibration. It is possible, that a 'c' does not appear in the PID data being sent to the serial port. It did not appear in the serial data we tested with here, hence it was not picked up before the firmware was released :(

    I'm pretty sure the AD problem is not firmware related. Has the AD1 also failed? The 4 AD's are paired 1-2 and 3-4. If there is a hardware fault 1 and 2 will fail or 3 and 4 will fail.
