    Default Just reloaded EfiLive and is now saying my ETC is incorrect

    Hey everyone, been a while...

    I finally got back around to playing with EfiLive and pulled the *.tun and as Efi loads I get the error

    The currently loaded calibration contains one or more incorrect ETC (Electronic Throttle Control) tables.

    DO NOT FLASH THIS CALIBRATION into a PCM that is to be used for ETC, or your PCM may be permanently inoperable.
    I am 100% certain this is the tune that is currently "in" my car... Although I cannot verify until I finish reloading my laptop...

    I think I attached it correctly, could someone take a quick look?

    Does you vehicle have ETC fitted or does it use a throttle cable?

    If it uses a throttle cable then you can ignore the warning as the ETC tables are switched off and not used.

    If your vehicle has electronic throttle control fitted then it is not recommended to flash in that file since EFILive detected that some throttle tables are not consistent with their backup/redundant tables. It could cause a reduced engine power mode or in the worst case, a non-functional PCM.

    Regards
