EFILive wish list for the future

[gmh308]

Yes, a valid point. However, if the brake pedal is not pressed the ECM will send back a messge to that effect, which will be displayed by EFILive.

Oki doki. Already covered. .

Thankyou.

[gmh308]

Can you tell me if any numeric code was also displayed alongside the "unknown error"?

I don't think you'll ever see the message "Crank Angle Error Sensing in Progress", but if the sensor error has been learned this key-on, then you will see the "Crank Angle Error Sensing Learned This Key On" message if you attempt it again.

FYI: These messages are managed and transmitted by the ECM - not by EFILive. EFILive is just displaying the messages it receives from the ECM.

Happy New Year to all!

Finally got to trying the CASE again and tracking the error messages. Message returned is: "Unknown DVT Message: 0". Also sometimes get "No Reply, try again".

The DVT is partially working, as the MIL can be cycled via the Scan Tool, but the fans cant, and the CASE Relearn doesnt.

Any prerequisites, or should this "just" work.

Cheers.

It should just work, you should not get that error. Error 0 means there was no error, I do not know why EFILive is displaying the "error". It is possible, but highly unlikely that the PCM is returning a failure message with a failure reason of 0 (i.e. no reason at all).

Regardless, as soon as EFILive displays that error message, de-activate DVT controls. Then using FlashScan's key pad, save a trace file (F2->F3->F1) and then use EFILive_Explorer to copy the saved trace file from the [Scan] tab page in EFILive Explorer to your PC

Then, back in the Scan Tool software, generate an error report (File->Generate Error Report) and save the error report.

Email me the trace file from FlashScan and the error report from the Scan Tool to me at [email protected]

Include a link to this thread so I know what it is about.

Thanks Paul. Will D/L Explorer and get back into it soon.

Does DVT require a certain version+ of scan tool firmware?

I've got one that would benefit just about everyone.

When going to "FILE" at the top of the editor to open a file or save, or load alternate cal....you get he "classic windows" "open dialogue" window that shows you files in the "current" folder.

You can delete and re-name files...sometimes copy and paste, but I believe there are more "windows" functions that just do not work.

When opening a window to access files, sometime I run across a mistake or spelling bo-bo or whatever.

I'd like to have more functionality to be able to use more of windows inherent features from within that window....rather than having to open a window outside of efi live's editor to handle it.

While I realize that we're obviously opening EFI LIVE .tun files, but it would sometimes be nice to see (or have the option to) other files besides .tun ones.

I'm not entirely sure how those controls work when programming in windows environments, but I assume they are like permissions which could be enabled.

I dunno...Maybe it's just me, but all too often I find myself needing more functionality.

Last time I asked for something similar, I was told that Inherent functions from windows cannot be modified.

EFILive uses the standard Windows dialogs. Everything you can do in a "standard" open file dialog should be available. What functionality are you expecting that is not available?

Thanks Paul, 7.5.5.77 was already installed since Dec.

D/L'd Explorer, installed and updated to 8.1.2.44.

Explorer crashes every time if the FlashScan is plugged in. (V2.05.XX)

What am I doing wrong?

Emailed support.

Have a nice day!

Alright holy dead thread I know, but my request fits in the scope of this thread.

Would it be possible to add a DVT control for the E67 (and probably the E37/38/39/40/78) for spark similar to the LS1 PCM? Mostly just the Electronic Spark Control where you can advance, retard, add, and subtract a set amount of spark across the board (or individual cells would be sweeter!). Just having spark retard doesnt help a ton when trying to get optimal timing.

And if we get really lucky, another one for engine RPM? I think these would help a lot when tuning on a dyno where you could turn on DVTs to command a certain RPM then tune the spark in real time to find optimal timing.
