6L80E Shift Pressure Questions

[8850]

I'm going to try to fix the bug mentioned in the next few days.

First problem fixed with beta .300. Thanks Keith!

Now for my second problem with the scanner restarting consistently as I mentioned above.

[Keith@HPTuners]

Well I just hope my fix didn't introduce any new bugs, heh.

[Bill@HPTuners]

How about releasing a scanner that will actually allow you to start and stop recording more than once without having to restart it almost every time? How about fixing it so it doesn't say it's scanning while it just sits there doing absolutely nothing?

Please test the newest beta in this regard and email support if you are still having this issue, I've personally tested this on my own vehicles and haven't had a problem.

I'll check it out as well. I know I reported it many times last year.

Sorry that my bug-related emails have stopped. I started tracking time involved with keeping up with each incident though and it was hours each week. I get about 3-4 hours sleep a night trying to keep up with work, so that extra 1-2hrs a day just became something that I could no longer lose after the winter was over.

I am going to grab this beta though because I am definitely curious about the scanner fix.

It works on the desktop (scanner 'knows' when it's no longer scanning); I'll update one of the laptops in the AM.

Anyone done any further testing on this new beta?

Now for my second problem with the scanner restarting consistently as I mentioned above.

Are you referring to the max pressure table issue being fixed? I know from using EFI Live, if you change the value in these tables with HPT and upload it with EFI Live, the value will read ZERO in the EFI live table! But, my trans still "seems" to work ok even with this issue.

Yes it is the scanner causing the problem. I have two new laptops and two pro cables and both of them have the same problems with the scanner.
Dont bother asking [email protected] about it. You will get a general response wanting you to read through useless help files.

Bill asked me if I could capture the data when my scanner freezes. I do a lot of street tuning, and was talking to a client yesterday as I was tuning his car telling him Im surprised that after three hours of driving around tuning that my scanner didnt freeze. We pulled over so I could change the tune and upload it, and when we completed the upload, we started driving again.

I sat in the passenger seat and adjusted my laptop monitor and slight brushed my USB plug with my forearm, then my scanner froze. I didnt recogonize the issue first, then thought about it for a minute on what just happened. I closed the frozen scanner, restarted it and started to scan it again. Then I purposely brushed the USB cable again with my forearm where it plugs into the computer slight pushing the cable foward in the port which caused the scanner to freeze.

I dont believe its a bug but more an mechanical issue where the plug jiggles in the port losing connection. Ive noticed Ive only had a problem while in car scanning with the laptop on my lap or leaving it on the passenger seat cruising, and never on a stationary platform.

There's alot of wiggle room in the USB port once a cable is plugged in.

i was having scanner/logging issues then i looked at the end of my usb cable and noticed that the pin/terminals were worn about 1/2 way back in the plug and didnt come all the way to the end.. picked up a new usb cable from staples and all is good.

fist time i have ever seen a cable wear out like that,, i was thinking that the laptop usb ports were just worn out.

I tried testing the latest beta version and the problem with the scanner locking up (or show that it's scanning while not actually recording anything) seems to be attributed to putting the laptop into sleep or hibernate mode.

If I leave my laptop running I can start and stop the scanner as many times as needed, but if I try to start the scanner after waking up the laptop that's when it'll hang. I checked with a friend of mine and he confirmed the same thing happens on his laptop using the latest beta and we both checked version 2.22 and found it didn't have the same issue.

Hope that helps,
Christopher

Can you please email support this information rather than posting it on the forum where it can easy get lost so I can add it to the ticket...the problem is if we can't recreate the issue it becomes very hard to fix it. I don't believe this was mentioned in any previous emails but I'll give it a shot in testing.

They still do it, but much less often.

2.22 does not do it.

updates on the pressure table?

[Sam88gta1]

It is still a problem and is still very annoying to deal with.

Which problem exactly are you referring to? The pressure problem or the scanner problem?

[Sam88gta1]

The Scanner problem. I dont use EFI Live so I have no way of checking the pressure table. I just assume its still not fixed and leave it stock for now.
