the imperial units in the scan.exe are inHg and
the tune.exe imperial units are PSI.
this has been for some time now.

i don`t know if this will cause a problem but i`d like to use
all imperial settings and not mix and match.
it may not be a big deal, but it is an annoyance.
is it just a matter of editing the sae.generic or is there more to it?

I must be doing something really wrong because I did all of the above and it still does not work for me. I've never been able to get this to work.

In your Scan Tool software in the Properties window on the [Folders] tab page, make sure the PIDs and MAPs settings are pointing to these folders respectively:
\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\PIDs
and
\My Documents\EFILive\V7.5\Maps

I'm pretty sure the *.mls file must be located in whatever folder the "Maps" folder setting is set to.

As a last resort you can turn on startup logging by right clicking on the EFILiv eScan Tool shortcut icon on the desktop and selecting Properties. Then add /l (thats a space, then a slash then a lower case L for "logging") to the Target.
Re-start the scan tool and then close it.

Look for the file: \Program Files\EFILive\V7.5\StartupLog.txt

Open it and search for mls (near the end), you should see something like this:

Remember to turn off the /l logging option once you've created the log file.

The fix for this problem did not get done. I don't know why yet, but sorry about that. It is at the top of the list to get fixed asap.

You can edit sae_generic.txt and change the units to PSI if you're comfortable figuring out the conversion factor(s).

Hi All,
the upgrade went well, though the tune tool came up in demo mode. I used the opportunity to test the connecting of the V2 and checking the license retrieval, which went well. I then disconnected the the V2 and subsequently noticed the "Backup" option under Help - FlashScan V2 VIN Licensing... Clicking on this option with the flash scan disconnected, resulted in an absurdly wide error window popping up with the text " Licence details could not be backed up. No rely." I'd estimate the window is around 15400 pixels wide... I'll see how the rest goes tonight.

Hey Guys.... I've got the serial wideband working great and have used it extensively on E38 and once on E67 with NO PROBLEMS.

However, I can't even connect to LS1's with serial wideband working..... Anyone have this same experience.....?

I had some connectivity problems and I'm thinking that some of it was not having an SD card installed to save settings.......Wacha think?

I'll test the LS1 stuff tomorrow first thing.

Anyone know how to use change the BEN factor of RTACS when using roadrunner with SERIAL WIDEBAND???? I'm hoping it's simple.

For some unknown reason, my Scan Tool cannot find the TEST-CAT.mls file. I've verified several times that it is in the correct folder, but the StartUpLog does not see it.

Check the following two settings in the Scan Tool Properties window:

1. On the [Startup] tab page, make sure the "Always load dashboard file" checkbox is checked off.

2. On the [Options] tab page make sure the "Link PIDs and dashboards" checkbox is checked on.

The *.mls file is processed when the dashboard is loaded therefor it is only "linked" with the PID file name if the dashboard is linked to the PID file name.

It looks like unchecking the "Always load dashboard file" fixed it. It now finds the *.mls file and loads the MAPS.
