    Paul, I am also seeing a strange problem. I did a calibration update to my ECM. The truck will no longer remote start. V2 shows no DTC either direct or through the scan tool. My stand alone code reader will not connect?

    Are you checking DTCs using FlahScan as a hand held device or as a pass through to a laptop?

    If hand held, after you check the DTCs, can you save the trace file, copy the trace file back to the PC using EFILive_Explorer and email it to me.

    If pass through, can you generate an error report (menu: File->Generate error report), save it and email it to me.

    Email to paul@efilive.com
    Include a link to this thread so I can correlate the two.

    I tried reading DTCs with both methods and neither one will show any codes. I'll try to get a trace file and an error report, but I'm not sure I know how to make a trace file or copy it back to EFILive_Explorer.

    What vehicle type is this happening on? Diesel or gas?

    If this is just a firmware issue, it wouldn't affect me if I haven't updated any firmware correct? I have only extracted the files and run the scanner/tuner, and uploaded calibrations to the car(unless it does an automatic firmware upgrade). I have noticed on 2 occasions in the past few days where I uploaded a cal to my car and after the guages did not reset and would not reset with key on/off until I reuploaded the file.

    This thread was explaining a boot block problem. If your boot block is NOT version 2.05.06 then this problem will not affect you.

    what was the solution to joshh mystery codes? I had the same thing happen to me yesterday. Got done with a pull and lost power and set a CEL. checked with scan tool and flashscan and no codes. Didn't read this post til now so didn't generate a bug report or save anything on flashscan. I just pressed clear codes on flashscan and light went away.

    The LBZ/LMM controllers are bosch controllers and they reply to the FlashScan scan tool a little differently than the Delphi controllers.

    It ended up being a timing issue. FlashScan was just not waiting long enough for the Bosch controller to send the codes.

    A new version that fixes the problem is available here:

    I used auto update on 8.1.1 and it worked but on 7.5.4 it said there were no updates. My scan tool and tune tool still say build 62??? Do I need to install off web site and if so, do I need to make "old" folders as to not overwrite files?

    Yes, you need to install V7.5.4 from here:
    http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=8384
    V7.5.3 has not been released as an auto update install yet.

    Yes, the V7.5.4 (build 63) install is the last version where you will need to do that. Once this version (build 63) is installed, all future installs will not overwrite your config files.

    Installing build 63 will also reset the registry entries for both the Scan and Tune tool. That will cause window sizes and placements and property settings to get reset to install defaults. You will need to go into the properties window in both scan and tune and re-apply any settings that you require.
