EFILive V8 Software

V8.3.18

· Added virtual torque modelling for E92.

· Fixed "Abstract Error" when adding a new calculated PID in the Scan window when a Tune window is open in the background.

· Removed PID validation requirement when pass-thru data logging for wide band controllers using the OBDII CAN interface to transmit wideband data.

· Fixed problem where meta data segments that were too large were causing the AutoCal V2 firmware to mis-read the Remote AutoCal License number which meant the file was incorrectly rejected for flashing (error $0536) even though the file was linked to the correct AutoCal. To apply the fix (which reduced the size of the meta data segments), the tune file must be opened in the V8 software and re-saved.

V8.3.17

· Fixed fault that caused encrypted *.cax8 files to fail to load.

· Added option to convert single V7 cax definitions to V8 cax8 definitions.

· Added more descriptive error messages (based on the new, unique return codes from the firmware) when license conversion-codes fail in [F7: Licenses]->[F5: Convert].

V8.3.16

· Added EFI_ScriptName intrinsic variable to *.Lua script so that a script can "know" its own name.

· Added Oil Life Reset option to [F4: OBD] window.

· Fixed EFILive Explorer not accepting user's first device selection when multiple devices were connected.

· Fixed display of ALT calibration when comparing 2 calibration tables when the axis labels are decrementing rather than incrementing.

· Generic PID $0013 "O2 Sensor Location" was displaying sensor locations backwards - i.e. "Yes=Sensor not Present" and "No=Sensor Present". That has now been changed to "Yes=Sensor Present" and "No=Sensor not Present".

EFILive V7 Software

V7.5.45

· Version synchronization.

FlashScan/AutoCal V3 Firmware

V3.00.088

· Removed PID validation requirement when pass-thru data logging for wide band controllers using the OBDII CAN interface to transmit wideband data.

V3.00.087

· Implemented external PID transmission via F, S and V frames so that third party data loggers can log PID data.

V3.00.086

· Added unique return codes when license conversion-codes fail.

V3.00.085

· Fixed problem where black box logging Cummins light duty controllers would cause V3 devices to display all PIDs as "N/A" and then freeze.

FlashScan/AutoCal V2 Firmware

V2.08.186

· Added unique return codes when license conversion-codes fail.

Known Issues

· Issue #1: Importing JTAG E86B files may result in a Boot Software segment checksum error.
Workaround: None. Don't flash imported files with checksum errors. Don't use the EFILive software to correct checksum errors for the E86B imported files as that does not fix the underlying cause of the checksum error - it just masks the error(s) and causes additional problems.

· Issue #2: When logging DMA PIDs (i.e., PIDs whose names end with "_M" or "_DMA"), if the ignition is switched off for an extended period while data logging but data logging is not terminated, then when the ignition is switched on again the data log automatically continues. However, the DMA PIDs may no longer return valid data.
Workaround: EFILive recommends stopping the data log and restarting the data log when switching off the ignition for extended periods.
