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 the "Record All Diagnostics" option on FlashScan or AutoCal you must select the target controller by "selecting" a PID list so that the freeze frame PIDs can be correctly scaled/displayed. But any PID that is contained in that PID list will display its minimum/default value in the freeze frame data instead of its correct value.

Workaround:

Create a PID list with no PIDs selected for the target controller and select that PID list prior to performing the "Record All Diagnostics" option.
Will be fixed in the next update.

Issue #4:

The V7 Tune Tool software no longer recognizes CMC custom operating system tune file and refuses to open them for editing.

Workaround:

Download the updated EFILive_Tune.zip attachment and extract the EFILive_Tune.exe into the EFILive V7.5 installation folder - overwrite the existing EFILive_Tune.exe file.
