HP Tuners - VCM Suite 3.6 Released

[Engineer@HPT]

Any chance this would work or be able to be made to work for newer trucks? They have stability control problems when tire size is increased too much.

Unfortunately it will not.

Nice update!

And the scanner and editor still don't remember their respective folders when last used, a 2 minute fix with separate registry settings

It's not a 2 minute fix, nor do we use registry.

Many tuners use the same folder per vehicle for tunes/logs. Before we add that breaking change into the software, we need to add a toggle so users can chose a different default.

LOL. Just add a tag in VCM Suite.cfg to maintain a separate pathspec for the scanner, people using common folders will stay happy

<Tuning>
<Path>C:\Users\Documents\HP Tuners\Tunes\</Path>
</Tuning>
<Scanning>
<Path>C:\Users\Documents\HP Tuners\Scanner\Logs</Path>
</Tuning>

I only mention this because a lot of people have complained about it, so thought it was some low hanging fruit,


EDIT: Happy existing customers are just as important as selling to new customers and adding new features

You no longer need to email infologs to support. Try to read the vehicle, wait 30 minutes, try again and it should work.

That is a bonus. T87A still needs to be sent in though right?

Yes, that will not change.

If you still have a PID issue with 3.6, please send us an email and attach the tune file in question.

Awesome, I was wondering why BETA disappeared from my page when I went to try and update it...will download 3.6 now

This is the chassis control module in 2015-2016 Corvettes.

I've got a 2016 Z06 here right now with no CCM file available to be generated. I assume you guys want the bin files.

[DSteck]

Oh, so here's a doozy for you.

C7 Corvette and 2017+ Camaro communicate with a preprogrammed fuel pump controller on a dedicated CAN bus. The controller does not have a flash available from GM. This leads me to believe that the ECM is feeding the controller directly with a requested pump duty cycle (considering the fuel pressure sensor input goes directly to the E92).

Could you look into mapping the behavior control for the pump, if it exists? I have to assume it does because all C7s and the 2017+ Camaro (both SS and ZL1) use the same part number pump controller with the same preloaded operating system.

If you are using 3.6 and it's not read automatically, choose C304 in the dropdown, read and email to support please.

When I hit "gather info", there is no option for a CCM. This is with 3.6.5 and a version of 3.5.

I'll poll the cal IDs manually tomorrow and compare against the latest from GM.

Did this release include the ability to use markers ("M") while logging?

No.

Thanks very much for this! However to be proper XML, I believe the last tag should be </Scanning>

<Tuning>
<Path>C:\Users\User\Documents\HP Tuners\Logs and Tunes</Path>
</Tuning>
<Scanning>
<Path>C:\Users\User\Documents\HP Tuners\VCM Scanner\Logs</Path>

Obviously, everyone's actual location will differ differ.

EDIT: Sorry, this doesn't work. The <Tuning> path is updated when a file is loaded for Scanner.

Excellent!

SO FRUSTRATING that they won't add this back in...

Maybe it's just me or a purpose built system to prevent people from using the software and another way of uploading the file, but I would love to be able to scan and make changes and edit the file in the editor then save it before actually purchasing the credits to reflash it to the car. Stupid? I don't know, but some nights I like to get ambitious and make changes on something when I have a flash of inspiration a day before tuning a customers car and committing the credits. Or if I do a read before they commit, I want to have something saved and tweaked slightly and ready to go for a flash and another log. I guess the cost of credits is low enough to not be that bitchy about it.

Also, I would love to eventually see or be able to read whole hex dumps to maybe add our own code and jmps into the file as to make it so we can have map switching or antilag added in the future for turbo cars. I know there are ways to do it outside of the program, unless someone already made a dip switch for some ECUs?, but there are times when I am driving the car hard and I want some fun levels of boost, or if Dad drives the car flick the cruise control, I want full eco mode so he doesn't end up in a tree from me being some boost crazy nutjob...

Today i tune a 2010 silverado at the "read" window it give me the FCSM option and make it read it when i try to flash the tuned file it charge me another credit for the fscm and i have to pay it its any way I can only tune the PCM and TCM??

I had the same experience with a 2011 Camaro. Read the vehicle again but choose to not read the FSCM.
