    Default TPS/Throttle Body Sweep function reset or calibration within EFI Scan tool?

    Hi guys, been a minute since posting, but have a scan tool question.
    1)I know Dodge is dodge and GM is GM.
    2)I tune both utilizing HP or EFI Live
    3)Done a search for TPS zeroing, adjustments, readings etc...

    So with those precursors out of the way, here is my question.
    On several ETC Throttle controlled vehicles, there is an option to relearn the TB Blade sweep in relation to TPS... with various scan tools, even HP tuners has this option for several vehicles.

    Does EFI Live in relation to GM, specifically my E38/T43 Combo, have the ability any where to do a Throttle/TPS sweep relearn? HP does not have this option I believe for the GM I am working on, and was just wondering if I am missing this specific DVT tool with the Scan software? V7 or V8?

    Thanks in advance,

    2007 Cadillac Escalade. 6.2L E38 6L80E T43 combo. I believe GM's older Tech 2 can do it, just haven't had the chance to borrow my buddies Tech 2 to verify.

    So with other scan tools, this option or feature I am looking for, allows the scan tool to see that the accelerator pedal is at 0, then you click the next button and it askes you to push the accelerator to the floor and takes a reading of where the throttle blade is in relation to the accelerator to the floor. Of course this is done with engine off, but key to run.

    Either way just curious.

    This is available on the Tech2.Not a sweep function but to relearn the idle position. Used after the throttle body has been cleaned or replaced.

    Thank you. Yes I was aware of this feature in Tech 2, was hoping we had something similar in the EFI scanning suite.
