Safety Mode - E38 & Others - Ability to PREVENT it. ie. Car Cant Go Into Safety Mode
I have a 2009 VE Holden Commodore v8 (E38 T43).
I'm pretty over the whole 'safety mode' stuff. I have read every forum out there, it can be like voltage, TPS, supposed differences in airflow calculated from MAF to TPS etc. Vaccume Leaks, Bad Injectors, Head Gaskets etc I've found things like transient, custom os's VE can upset it etc.
It's frustrating. I get safety mode 'for no reason' on my car. I've replaced battery, checked wiring, did all the tests in the world. Seems to me maybe it has to do with the tuning gear and what not. I'm not at all saying HP Tuners is at fault by any means. My issue is I can have like Dynamic, VE & MAF running together and have the car within like 0-4% virtually across the board............ so it's running damn near perfect even on the stock tune with that fuel ....... SAFETY MODE.
I have a new battery and all the rest...... It's frustrating. Modifying fan settings kills voltage and can cause it..........
My point is....... I would like to see an option in 'Engine Diag' to DISABLE safety mode or ............ have a whole tab dedicated to it. So where you have Engine, Engine Diag etc.... have another tab 'safety mode' with like pull down DTC type things where we can DISABLE what can cause safety mode........
There must be some way of doing this......... or is it a BCM controlled thing?
It's frustrating......... and highly overlooked.
PS. I have already changed all the common engine diag gear etc to help prevent it, and so on.......... but I'm just saying i think it's time we get access to this, I think it's something HP Tuners should look into. You cannot be driving around with your family in the car having this crap happen........ it's downright dangerous how these things can go into safety mode for no reason!
