    why VCM scanner read wrong spark advance????

    I got in this issue with my E38 LZ4 from an impala 2009

    in VCM scanner reading spark advance [sensor] at high revs and high load I never read more than 24?...............

    Then I did some test (disabiling correction etcc......) and at the end i discovered that is not true........infact if I put 30? in the map in this area I read 30? in base cyl1 advance with no correction, and I clearly notice a starting of detonation (so definetely spark advance is increased) but in spark advance sensor I alway find 24?

    It's a big mystery do you have any Idea?
    should i read a different spark advance?
