Problems after update

[67SS509]

Problem solved! Went back and downloaded build 170 and replaced existing file and everything started working correctly. Something just went wrong in the first download.....I dunno

Thanks Guys!

You can see all your pids now...? Cool glad you got it going.

Have not tried my FJOserial wideband yet to see if it still works after this update. Should it be affected or do you think it will still work as before?

[joecar]

The serial wideband should still work.

Happened to me too. Reinstalled over the top and it fixed it. All PIDS present again

There is a similar thread floating abbout. It seems that the Auto Update may be the culprit here.

I did an auto update and lost a lot of my pids.

I then did a manual download and install and they reappeared - after I connected my V2 to the car and validated the pids.

cheers

Has everyone got it sorted out...?

No, I also updated my software / firmware / bootlock (what I think is everything) 2 weeks ago. Now when I connect to my LB7 or a friend's LB7 I am missing ~50% of my PIDs. Simple things like throttle position and injector balance rates are "X"ed out. I tried "Validating PIDs" and it takes about 2 seconds instead of the possible 30 seconds and doesn't change anything.
If I try to log the selected PIDs with Red "X"s I get an error that says something like this:
"Scan tool must be set to "Dynamic or Stream" to log DMA_PIDS"
So I went to settings and tried all 4 settings and continued to get this error message. General, Dynamic, Slow Stream, Fast Stream

This is the first time since 2009 that I have updated the software / firmware (shame on me) but now I am wishing that I hadn't because I went to check a friend's injector balance rates on an LB7 and looked like a real idiot when I couldn't get the PIDs to activate. Played with it more on my LB7 later and never could get those PIDs to activate. Very frustrating.

If I should try this "manual download", please provide detailed instructions on how to do that.

[joecar]

Manual download consists of this:
- download the V7 and V8 .exe files and execute them,
- run V8 EFILive Explorer (EE), goto the Firmware tab and update the bootblock and firmware versions,
- run V8 Scan & Tune (S&T) and define your BBL pidlists and BBF ecm's.

The V2 firmware version must be compatible to the V7 and V8 software versions (i.e. from the same release).

What V7/V8 build versions and what V2 bootblock/firmware versions are you at...?

[DirtyMax03]

Firmware 2.07.14 - July 3, 2011
Bootlock 2.07.02 - April 3, 2011
Build Version V7.5 Build 170

Redownloaded the latest Firmware and Build versions. Still no luck. Heading out to see if I can get the PIDs to validate on my truck. Concerning loading the PIDs in the "Scan and Tune", is that something we have to do even if we don't plan to BlackBox log right away? I just want the old passthrough scan tool to work. Anyhow, tried to do the Blackbox thing and can't figure out how to change the units to imperial. Apparently, I need to read the latest owners manual concerning V8 and this BlackBox stuff.
