    Default Known issues with Jul 12, 2014 release of the EFILive software and firmware.

    Currently known issues and possible workarounds for the July 12, 2014 release of the EFILive V7.5.7.261, V8.2.2.256 software and the V2.07.63 FlashScan and AutoCal firmware.


    Issue 1:
    If you are Black Box Logging PIDs from an ECM and TCM simultaneously and you have selected a PID from the transmission controller (TCM) that has an identically named PID in the engine controller (ECM), then when the log file is loaded back into the V8 software for viewing, that TCM PID will be displayed as if it originated from the ECM. The PID's data will have correctly been logged from the TCM, only its name will appear to indicate that it was logged from the ECM.
    Workaround:
    None. It is a restriction of the *.efi (V7.5 log file format). That restriction will be removed and the TCM PIDs will display their true origin once the V8 scan tool software is available.

    Issue 2:
    T43, T76 and A50 controllers do not use the correct controller serial number when using a VIN license prior to flashing.
    Workaround:
    None. Fixed in next update.

    Issue 3:
    Deleting a controller entry in the [F5: BBX] window may cause an "Access Violation" error.
    Workaround:
    None. Fixed in next update.
    Issue 4:
    Loading a data log file in V8 may cause an "Access Violation" error.
    Workaround:
    None. Fixed in next update.

    Issue 5:
    Loading E86 (LML) *.bin files does not work in the V7 software.
    Workaround:
    Load the E86 *.bin file into the V8 software, save it as a *.ctz file, then load the *.ctz file into the V7 software. Fixed in next update.
    Issue 6:
    Some labels were wrong on E86 (LML) GMLAN tables for non-US calibrations.
    Workaround:
    None. Fixed in next update.

    In V7.5 When you try to unlock a controller while reading or flashing, and select "try alt keys" then let it run thru the keys and it fails, "key is not normal algo", then it will bring up the wrong error box after it fails.

    It is bringing up the one for engine speed is not zero, instead of the one saying that the controller is locked with a custom key.

    How many different ECM's did you try (and what sort)? The engine speed not zero error response I think is different to something that is actually locked (it has been too long since I've looked at the VPW bus).
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    Can you send me the *.blx trace file that was created during the unlock attempt (I think it saves a trace file for lock/unlock attempts).

    Just lock a ls1b controller or e38 with a custom key and then try it.
