    2016 Camaro Flex Fuel Enable Help

    I'm getting the default value of 40% alcohol. Here is what iv'e done.

    Fuel Sys>Diagnostics>FlexFuel>Sensor Diag | Enabled
    Engine>Fuel>Flex Fuel>General>Flex Fuel | Enabled
    Engine>Fuel>Flex Fuel>General>Flex Sensor | Sensor
    Engine Diag>DTCs>P0178> | SES Enable and MIL on Second
    Engine Diag>DTCs>P0179> | SES Enable and MIL on Second

    I've also checked the signal wire pin is going to pin 38 of the connector multiple times. I took the pin out and put back in. I confirmed the Sensor is getting battery voltage at the plug. Looking at the plug with the "Hump" facing upwards I have power on the left most pin and ground in the middle.

    I'm not sure what I'm missing. Any help would be grateful.

    That pretty much covers all bases. I hate to ask, but did you use the blue connector? You could try doing a write entire but it's possible that you've got a defective sensor as well.

    Did you pull the blue locking ring out of the ECM connector before you tried to push the new pin into place?

    Sorry I didn't know I had anyone reply.

    I did use the blue connector and I did remove the locking ring before putting the pin in. I've re-seated it at least 8 times now. I am in the process of returning the sensor.

    I looked for a flex fuel 2016 6.2 Camaro in the repository and did not see one to compare with. Did you enable flex fuel from disabled ? Did your OS have flex fuel enabled to start with ? You may need a segment swap. https://www.camaro6.com/forums/showthread.php?t=469951

    With the flex fuel sensor when running E85, which table are you adding WOT timing to? Ive seem some add timing to the Spark/Advanced/ Alcohol table and some people doing it through the Spark/Advance/ flex fuel table ?

    Use the Flex Fuel spark table, not the Alcohol Spark Advance Correction table
