Sweet. Thanks man, I appreciate it. That is a good feature.

Set AutoPIDs to YES to cause FlashScan to "remember" the most recently selected PID list and to reselct that same list when you power up FlashScan. It just saves you form having to select PIDs every time you start FlashScan.

Note: it will take slightly longer to startup because it has to read all the PID info into memory. It will also take a little bit longer when selecting a different set of PIDs because it has to save your selection to the Settings.dat file.

To edit the Options.ini file, you need to double click it from Windows Explorer (not EFILive Explorer). Once you have edited it and removed the unsupported PID(s), save it and then use EFILive explorer to transfer it to FlashScan's [Config] folder.

I tried to hook up flashscan to my LB7 just now and when I try to read DTC's it gives me error $0280- no vehicle detected....my key is on, bootblock v2.5.8, firmware 2.5.17 (622) . efi live v.2.5.4 build 63 in both scan and tune tools. all up to date I thought. my computer recognizes the flashscan so it can't be a driver issue right?

So far, LS1B is working fine.

I have noted that some of the mode $06 maximum limits change as conditions vary (compare 34.txt and 26.txt).

Hi Joe,

Can you boot FlashScan (to clear out any trace file data), then do a "Record all diags" and save the trace file immediately afterwards.
Then once you think those max limits may have changed, boot FlashScan, then do a "Record all diags" and save the trace file immediately afterwards.
Please send me the two dtc files and the two trace files. That way I can see if the PCM is really sending two different max limits, thanks.

P.S. You can boot FlashScan using Ctrl+Cancel. No need to unplug.

Yes, there will eventually be a windows style interface for selecting/deselecting PIDs.

Error $280 is "Unsupported protocol (i.e. no vehicle detected)".

When ignition is on and FlashScan is connected, press Ctrl+Ok which causes FlashScan to re-detect the protocol, you should see VPW XX appear in the lower right corner of FlashScan's display. The XX is the number of modules detected with the VPW protocol.

As a last resort try, Ctrl+Cancel, which reboots FlashScan and also re-detects the protocol.

i have done this and i tried to update the firmware through the firmware screen and it is telling me i have .05.xx and i have to upgrade through explorer?????????? wtf is explorer. and what have i done???

After installing V8.1.1, there will be a file called:
\Program Files\EFILive\V8.1\Documentation\ReadMe.rtf (or ReadMe.pdf)

Please open that document and it will explain how to complete the FlashScan V2 upgrade process.

Few questions: There are modifications being made to the tune switching part of the V2 firmware... When will the actual OS be available that it'll work with? Also, with the 5 speed and 6 speed Allison calibration update, where any tables added or changed? One more... In the BBL PID TSTATE16, are there any more sub-PIDs? Shouldn't there be adapt cells for all the shifts (N-R, R-N, N-1, 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, {5-6, 6-5}*, 5-4, 4-3, 3-2, 2-1, 1-N)?
