    Default LS1B Black Box Tuning?

    Finally dug out the van today again, and thought I'd try out the BB tuning...
    Opened V8, converted a couple tunes.
    Hooked up the V2 to the van, selected tuning, chose the tune, and...
    Went through the motions.... verifying the file, erasing, ect...
    But when it went to tune, it sat there for a while and quit with this error...
    $0281 No data received.

    So read the tune that was in the ecm, and tried to flash it back, but had the same error...
    ?

    Hi Wolfie,

    Update V7/V8 to builds 201/192 from the downloads page at www.efilive.com.

    Then flash the newest firmware into your V2.

    Then run the V8 S&T software, go into BBx, and read your current BBx config.

    Then format the Config space;

    Then from V8 S&T reprogram the BBx settings.

    Wolfie, did you do Program All (found by clicking the down arrow next to the Program button)...?

    I just had to check, I have made that mistake before (while wide awake and sober not drinking).

    I pm'd Tech Support.

    Have you formatted the config section of the V2? Try doing that then doing the "Program All". Also, not sure if you've done it or not, but in the BBX settings you have to click the F3 Tune tab and select the LS1B controller there to read/flash the controller. Make sure you go into the V7.5 Tune tool and resave ANY *.tun or *.ctd as a *.ctz before you copy it to the V2.

    Ah, yes of course, like Erik said, resave your files as .ctz (this is a new file format)(I have forgotte to do this myself).

    Thanks Erik
