VCM Scanner AU Ford Update Thread

[misk]

definitely something either that i'm doing wrong or the software is doing wrong. going back a couple of releases and all the parameters are there, go my next release forward and a couple things disappear (like cam 2 angle) and then last release theres fuck all, none of the SAE stuff can even be selected let alone logged.
so, is it me?

Anytime this happens after an update the first thing to do is select Vehicles=>Repoll for Supported Parameters and see if it shows up. Sometimes they re-number PIDs in an update and the software does not repoll every time you connect. It uses the list generated the FIRST time you connect to a vehicle strategy. If that doesn't do it, the next step is an email to Support.

ive done that as well as delete the vehicle from settings. ive just gone back to an older version for now, don't have time to sort that kinda shit out atm. could just be something im doing wrong though, who knows.

I'm having the same issues with my BA, all I get in the scanner is RPM, Ign timing, CTS and a few fuel trims. No load input at all, not even the raw values from the o2 sensor, just fuel trim data.

Emailed support about it and they said it will be updated in the coming days (was told this on Monday just gone)

Same as me ben, with the ba ecu you cant log anywere near what 2.24 could. I was told it would be in tomorrows update weeks ago. Im back using 2.24 now hopefully one day BAs get updated in 3.0

Im tuning a Patrol at the moment with a T6 and BA Pcm, I though I was ready to hang up my Xcal2 for logging duties but 3.0 has confirmed it's not time just yet. Im considering dusting off my old tuning tablet pc and running 2.2X on that purely for BA's.

HPT didn't support BA DMR logging in 2.25 beta. Never sell your X2.

[misk]

So no one else is having issues with bf on the newer update?

[Grant LS1]

Just been told by support the head Ford Engineer is working on the BA non defined DMR & parametre strategies but there is no ETA for it...

prolly 2 weeks lol

[hiddeous]

Gents,
It is possible to install and run HPT from a thumb drive. If you are running into issues with 3.0 and BA's it's very easy to setup and just use the program on the thumb drive for BA and use 3.0 installed on the laptop for everything else

I already defined the DMR for one BA strategy. Another engineer will finish up all the BAs. It should not take very long.

[misk]

which strategy was finished?

any kind of semi loose update on this? either which strategy was defined or how long its expected to be until some others are done?
or is it a situation where we need to email support to have a specific strategy done?

[Huddo]

Can we please get a "WOT" indicator for the scanner?

[JETURBO]

Errrr what do you think T/B % is ?

[Huddo]

sorry, not the same thing as ECU recognising WOT activation

[misk]

anyone had any more luck logging bas?
i've tried 3-4 strategies and can only a few channels.
and yes i've re-polled.

[misk]

no one?

[IH8TOADS]

Your LTFT is a WOT indicator.

[Huddo]

closed loop activation or de -activation is based on throttle position, not WOT indicator
