Joe, isnt the stock converter around a 1700 rpm one?

ok, so i find this very messed up. here is a screen shot of the pids i logged.



which has tstate 09, 10 and 12.

now here is a screen shot of when the log is opened.



tstate 09 and 10 are gone, and 59 and 60 appear.

also, not sure if this helps at all. but after making the log and on the way home, codes p0300, p0461, p1380 & p1381 came up.

edit....just tried again...the log reads the correct tstate pids, if i re-open the log they are gone and the other 2 appear.

That is strange, I notified Tech Support.

Not related: your B1207 is out of range, set it to some in range value.

any idea what a typical value for this is? why would you not want it 0?

Mine is set to 255 mph from the factory.

I'm looking into this problem. It may be a fault in EFILive software.

Well down to 2 things I think.

1. Is there a way to lower the min tps value needed for the converter to stay engaged? Seems that when locked I only need 5% tps, so any little movement in the pedal is causing it to unlock. (What I noticed from driving and watching the dashboard screen)

2. I was at the track the other week, and after doing the burnout the trans felt like it was slipping. I disabled P0757, P0758 and reduced the Torque Reduction to 0 for values over 400 Nm in each gear. Drove around last night with the radials back on, stopped, and did the same thing I do at the track and still feels like it was slipping. If the car is shut off for a few min and restarted, its back to normal again.

See tables D1001-D1006.

Unfortunately it is a bug in the V7.5 software. There is currently no workaround. A new release will be available asap that contains the fix.
