Just upgraded to V2, having issues.

[PRAY]

I just upgraded my V1 to V2. I can log data and check DTC's but can't tune. The car I am trying to tune has been tuned with HPT Pro and is saying it is locked. I tried the Alt Keys and that isn't working. I don't have anymore of my cars here to try the V2 on them to see if it is working. When I did the upgrade I don't remember it switching screens on the controller box like the tutorial says it will. But everything else was correct and it says it was successfully updated when I tried again. Did I mess it up? I am trying to use my old desk top V1 Scan Icon and Tune Icons so I can use my old data. Do I have to use my new Desk top Icons. The new windows don't make any sense to me. I opened the tune one and it has nothing in it and the Scan one says it hasn't been released yet. If I do have to use them, how do I transfer all of my old data to them?

The other issue I am having is using the correct pids for 05' and up. The pids I have been using for years in V1 don't all work on the V2. Some are very important. I can't log:

Air Flow Grams/Cyl (GM.CYLAIR_DMA)
Commanded Air Fuel Ratio (GM.AFR)
Manifold Vacuum (GM.MANVAC)
Mass Ari Flow Raw Frequency (SAE.MAFFREQ)

There are some more but those are the critical ones I need. What are the equivalent on the 05' and up cars?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Pray,

What controller are you trying to log ? LS1-B PCMs use different PIDs than the newer E38 / E67 ECMs. Perhaps connect to a known controller (i.e. one you are certain is not locked, or you have tuned previously), then validate the PIDs.

I am not 100% sure but I believe in some situations the HPT software automatically locks the controller. You will probably need to get it unlocked by the person and/or HPT software that did the tune.

The V8 PIDs have slightly different names, the list of changes is shown below.
Also, All PIDs that in V7 ended with _DMA that are not on this list now end with just _M in V8.

There is an option in the V7 software to "Edit->Copy PIDs for export to V8". So you can highlight all the PIDs in a V7 PID list and select "Edit->Copy PIDs for export to V8".
Than go into the V8 software and right click the green section in the BBL setup window and select Paste. That will perform the PID name conversions automatically for you.
Note: that process does not support calculated PID names.

Thanks guys. I was trying to tune my buddy's 05'. He bought me the upgrade to do his car and now I can't. I am up at his place 2 hours from my house where my other cars are. I will see if it works when I get home tomorrow. I am just leaving him hanging. So I can't use my old V1 Icons to tune and log with? I am going to have to explore the two new deals.

The copy export isn't working on my V7. Is there an upgrade I need?

PRAY,

What build version are your V7 and V8 at...?

What firmware version is your V2 at...?

[PRAY]

I tried to use the CD that came with it to do the install but nothing on it worked. I went out to the web site and down loaded the latest and greatest off of here. I will double check exactly which ones I down loaded. The other strange thing to me what there were two different liscence registration cards in the box. One was for Scan only and the other was Scan&Tune. I regestered the Scan&Tune version.

[PRAY]

I installed the EFILive V7.5.7 Build 180 and EFILive V8.2.1 Build 170. Where do I find out what Firmwhare I installed? I don't see it on the download page.

Hello Pray,

Now that you have a V2 - you should also have desktop icons for V7.5 Tune Tool, V7.5 ScanTool, V8 Scan and Tune, and EFILive Explorer. When you downloaded build 180 / 170 the Bootblock (2.07.03) and Firmware (2.07.22) would have also downloaded - and will need to be programmed to the V2.

Connect your V2 to your laptop (or whatever computer you are using). Once the V2 has fully booted, open the EFILive Explorer utility. You should see an "F12:Firmware" tab - select this and your Bootblock / Firmware information will be displayed. You may also get a prompt telling you the V2 requires programming.

If the V2 has been programmed with the correct Bootblock / Firmware, you will then need to format the Config Files.

After this close EFILive Explorer, then open V8 Scan & Tune - select "F5: BBX". You will see F2: Scan and F3: Tune sub-menus. In Scan you need to program the PIDs. In Tune you need to program the controllers.

Hopefully some of this helps ...


Regards,
Taz

In EFILive Explorer (EE) when you view what firmware version your V2 has, the date is important.
