Losing My T/C with simulated MAF failure.

[GTOWNED]

I am using a MAF failure to rely on my ltft stft tuned VE table on my '05 GTO, however I lose my traction control when I do this. Curious to any ideas you guys may have.

You need to apply the TCS patch in the OS tab. Apply the MAF patch while you're at it. You need to do a write entire for these to take effect.

no tcs upgrade or maf upgrade. only thing is a two bar map, and my car is still breathing on its own unfortunatly. could we get some tc support for the gto please?

At the bottom mang...has been there since 2.22 for E40's.

[GTOWNED]

no have

[5_Liter_Eater]

What version of HPT are you using?

[GTOWNED]

2.22

Request the beta from [email protected] because I just opened my buddy's '05 Goat tune and it't the same as above.

[5_Liter_Eater]

However I don't think that is the problem because I was able to use 2.22 to open up my old tune (could not open my buddy's Goat tune because it was initially saved with 2.23) and it has it there too...Can you attach a screenshot? Attached is my buddy's opened in 2.23. When I open my old tune with 2.22 it looks the same.

[GTOWNED]

looks the same, except i have none of the bottom options. i'll be looking into 2.23 i suppose.

[GTOWNED]

what the just open my 05 gto os 2.22 and 2.23 all there.opened 06 gto os 2.22 and 2.23 maf patch is missing?tcs patch and vatts where there.odd hit and miss whith this one?

Is that engrish?

[5_Liter_Eater]

He's saying that the MAF and TCS patches don't exist on an '06 GTO but the '06 doesn't have an E40 PCM so I wouldn't necessarily expect it to be there. It may not suffer from it. An '05 I would expect it to be there and it seems like you're experiencing the problem the patch is meant to fix. Kind of like you have a mid year car GT.

Do you plan to stay in SD? If not I would say just live without TCS while tuning the VE. When you re-enable the MAF it won't be a problem.

[DSteck]

Both 05 and 06 GTOs use the E40. Chances are, the people not seeing it aren't using the full view version of HP Tuners, meaning their software is restricting what they can see. I don't remember how to change that option though.

[5_Liter_Eater]

you're right about the model years Steck...

Someone post a tune.

Always always always use advanced view.

[DSteck]

Always always always use advanced view.

Quoted for emphasis.

[GTOWNED]

gtowned open editor>open your file.then go to edit left click. go to view.left click on advanced then recheck the os.

awesome thanks much.

MAF patch is only needed for some early E40 OS's - GM eventually fixed their bug

Hi guys

I did a maffless tune on a p40 ecm, just did exhaust and intake, then tune. Now the taction control is always off? I tried the patch and it made no difference??

Any ideas??
