ATTENTION - BETA SOFTWARE RELEASE

We strongly recommend that you do not install the beta software over the top of your production systems. It is possible that the beta test software may fail and your production system may not be recoverable. lf you conduct a tuning business, please take the necessary precautions to protect your business. EFlLive recommends beta testers use a separate FlashScan V2 device (when installing the latest beta firmware) and only install the EFlLive beta test software on a separate PC, laptop or virtual machine.

Known Issues:

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 and fully integrated with the V8 tuning tool software.

Issue 2:

When logging DMA PIDs (i.e. PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.

Workaround:

EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.

Issue 3:

When using "Save As..." in the V7 scan tool or tune tool software the save file dialog box does not automatically open in the folder from which the file was originally loaded.

Workaround:

Manually navigate to the required folder. Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue 4:

Applying a bitmask to an 8, 16 or 32 bit signed value in a *.cax file calibration definition displays the unsigned value not the signed value.

Workaround:

None. Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue 5:

The FPRACOM and FPRADES PIDs are not being handled correctly by the V7 scan tool software. If you include those PIDs in a V7 data log it may appear that multiple PIDs in the log file are corrupt.

Workaround:

Don't select those PIDs when logging LBZ/LMM using V7 or BBL.
If you already have a log file with those PIDs in it that appears to be corrupt, try opening the log file in V8 to automatically strip out those two PIDs.

Issue 6:

The Cummins CMD/CME Fast CAN Mode options do not work. Flashing speeds are set to the slowest speed regardless of which setting you choose.

Workaround:

None. Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue 7:

The V8 scan tool pass through data logging for VPW based controllers (LS1, LB7, LLY etc) only records data from some PIDs - not all selected PIDs.

Workaround:

Use the V7 pass through scan tool. Will be fixed in the next update.
