Update:
This firmware update fixes error $0280 on VPW (i.e. LS1/LB7) vehicles.
http://download2.efilive.com/Softwar..._05_15(19).zip


The ReadMe_First.rtf file has been updated to list the new features/options in this release.

If you have already upgraded to the new BB logging bootblock, then you do not need to (in fact you cannot) upgrade the bootblock again. Once it has been done, you only need to update the V2.05.xx firmware if/when new firmware is released.

There are two new firmware files:
1. FSProgV2_05_15.efw that you must program into FlashScan,
2. ACProgV2_05_15.efw that you must program into AutoCal (if you have an AutoCal unit),
using the programming option in EFILive_Explorer.

IMPORTANT: AFTER programming the new firmare, you MUST delete ALL *.pmm files from the config folder in FlashScan and ALL files from the config folder in AutoCal (if you have an AuotCal device). Then copy in the new ones provided in the Config folder of this update. Failure to do so will cause FlashScan and/or AutoCal to fail when an attempt is made to select a vehicle.

The version numbers of the firmware files will not change between now and the final beta version. That means you will be able to re-program older firmware files during the remainder of the beta test period. The date of the firmware file will continue to be updated and it will provide the only true "version" reference and should be quoted when you post problems with any particular firmware "version"

Paul,

tried this latest version FW.15 (18/12/07) and I get Error $0280 on all attempts to read data from the vehicle (log, VIN ....)
This error appears when trying to log right after selecting the vehicle type.
Will send you a trace file.

ditto...


The "record all diags" created a blank txt file, and no trace files where auto-saved even though it was on.

Did you copy ALL the new *.pmm files to FlashScan's Config tab page (in EFILive Explorer) from the latest download?

If not then all attempts to select a vehicle will fail. That is because the format of the *.pmm files has changed in this latest release?

Update #1:
Sorry, found the problem. It only fails on VPW (i.e. LS1/LB7 style) controllers. It does not affect CAN (i.e. LS2/LBZ) style controllers.

I'll post updated firmware asap.

Update #2:
See first post for updated firmware. The updated firmware has the same version number 2.05.15 but the firmware date has been updated from Dec 18, 2007 to Dec 19, 2007.

You should be able to swap between both firmware versions (Dec 18 and Dec 19) without any version restrictions if required.

I just tried a very short log to see if BBL worked. It works fine with E38 manual selected. If I select E38 auto the counter works but, no data is displayed on the screen. I have a trace file for this I will be sending.

Now that I can at least log a little with E38 manual I will see if it locks up on my long ride to work in the morning.

2.05.15 firmware Dec. 18

Paul,

I just successfully logged an LLY and saved the file to SD-Card.
FW2.5.15 (19)

Thanks for the quick response !

Same here (FW2.5.15 (19)), except the logging froze around 15787 frames. Frames stopped counting, but RTD kept coming in. Stupid me, I unplugged it instead of trying to "cancel" out so I don't have a trace file.

Edit: Also still got $0311 when I tried to clear DTCs on my friends 98 Bravada.

New features in the Dec 20 update:
19. Added option in EFILive Explorer to get/set the date/time in FlashScan and AutoCal.

I like this better than setting the time manually. Everything seems to be working for LS1-A_M, except for the 'ASPARK' PID I added.

I still have not got a trace from anyone showing that error :(.

Please disconnect FlashScan from power so that all the trace buffers get cleared. Then connec it to your vehicle and retrieve trouble codes. After you get the error, save a trace file manually. You can do that using the menu option: F2: Scan Tool ->F4: Scan Options ->F1: Save Trace File.
