We just thought we'd surprise everyone in the next beta release (posted HERE). We have added in to the V8 software the ability to read out the Bosch E55, E69 & E77 ECM's.
This is an exercise to assess interest in these ECM's and for us to evaluate how difficult they are going to be to add support for. Being Bosch, I think I already know the answer to that
First one is the E69 ECM, this has been used by GM for the Direct Injection 4cyl and V6 engines even up to today. It is currently being phased out in favour of the new E39 ECM (which we already support). However, the E69 was/is used in applications like the Turbo HHR, Camaro V6, Holden SV6 and some Cadillac's.
The E55 & E77 is used on the 3.6L non direct injection HFV6, cars like the Cadillac CTS, Holden Commodore, G8.
We've tested reading on a number of different 3.6L ECM's and it works fine (06 VZ Comm-E55, 08 VE Comm-E77, 08 SRX-E77, 09 STS-E69), it takes about 12-15 mins, but we are at the mercy of Bosch's limitations there and we are currently reading out the entire ECM (OS and cals) so it does tend to drag on a bit (compared to Delphi ECM reads).
Now the beta release is posted, if you have access to a vehicle using any of these ECM's we would appreciate if you could attempt to read the ECM, if it works, please Email the tune to support@efilive.com, and if it fails, please Email support details about the vehicle so we can get a picture on what models this might work on.
Thanks,
Ross
