Then just populate the lean cruise tables and you should be all set to go. Maybe a cax is only available with an 0411 ecm?? Dont know, joecar kinda left us hanging with his short post.
    There are Lean Cruise cax files for a few OS's for 0411 PCM's only...

    see posts #8 and #10 here: cax-file-updates

    copy the cax file to that folder, restart the tunetool, enable/populate LC, do a full flash.


    sorry, I got distracted earlier today and I forgot to come back to this thread

    Yes, read the scantool/tunetool pdf's, and the other pdf's in the V7/V8 install directories.

    Read the AutoVE tutorial last night. I want to try to do a few DataLogs B4 I get started on that.
    Oh one thing I think is ok to do ( correct me if I am wrong ) But I was going to change the AFR from 14.68 which is what it is stock to 14.3 or so since we have E10 pretty exclusively at our local gas stations.
    Other than tht I am not going to make any more changes. As per my thread u see I only changed speed corrcection (gears and tire swap), speed limiter, deleted rear O2 and adjusted PE.
    I am connecting my AEM WB tonight. I am doing the White wire from it to input E (EXT.AD1) on my V1 interface. Then I have to setup? Or just select the PID in Scan Tool? I read that AEM isnt setup in V1 but was the same as PLX? I dont quite understand if I need to set it up prior to taking the readings. I understand the operation of it tho

    Yes, set B3601 to something like 14.2 for E10.

    Yes, the AEM should be the same as the PLX... to be sure, look at the AEM user manual and post 2 voltage:afr points.

    Since you're suing E10 (AFR 14.2), you will need to make a calc pids that converts the AEM/PLX AFR pid to Lambda (for tuning) and to true AFR (for viewing)...

    the wideband assumes the stoich AFR is 14.7... so you divide CALC.AFR_PLX1 by 14.7 to obtain Lambda, and then multiply Lambda by 14.2 to obtain the true AFR of E10 fuel.

    (I can help you set up a calc pid)

    IDK what u mean by post 2 voltage :afr points? U want me to copy a couple of the manuals numbers here?

    Like O2 volts = 1.40 / Lambda = 0.874 / Gas = 12.8afr / Ethanol = 7.87ar
    And O2 volts = 3.90 / Lambda = 1.216 / Gas = 17.8afr / Ethanol = 10.94

    Yes walk me thru the Calc PID please

    Yes, that's it.

    Does the AEM have a setting/switch for it to output for E10 (gasoline with 10% ethanol) vs E00 (straight gasoline)...?
