    Flex fuel stock tune file dodge late model

    Does anyone here have access to any dodge pcm read that uses inferred flex fuel? My goal is to learn how this is accomplished, I have a basic idea how its triggered but blind guessing at the values is not ideal and studying how the factory does it would be great! Nothing in hp tuners repository. I will be tuning my 2019 HC red eye and I greatly appreciate your help!

    I can't remember exactly what vehicles but some of the V6 vehicles had factory flex fuel and are in the repository. You can copy the flex fuel section from there. The rest of the tune has places you need to change too that you'll have to work through and populate. You just might have to do a little math to know what values to input.

    Try something like a 2016 3.6 Challenger.
    If in doubt, multiply everything by 1.1.

    I looked through all the dodge tunes in the repository, also looked through all the files and there are only a few old Chevrolet tune files with flex! Was this response just a guess or did i miss a tune file ?

    You missed something. I'm not on computer now to look through them but when I first did flex fuel I started with something from repository that had flex fuel enabled to get the settings for the Flex Fuel section then just tweaked some from there

    my 2 cents..
    i've been looking at this too for the ncg3/4 platform.. some of the stage3 mopar stuff uses a "toys" pin to trigger the high octane timing and fuel tables..
    the concept is described in "ESTIMATION OF ETHANOL CONTENT IN FLEX-FUEL VEHICLES USING AN EXHAUST GAS OXYGEN SENSOR: MODEL, TUNING AND SENSITIVITY" from u michigan, and is seems to all work with a narrow band, 4 wire, o2 sensor
    a trigger from a change in fuel level (gas gauge) and the resulting new change in AFR causes a long term fuel trim that somehow translates in to an %ethanol .. i'm guessing somehow works back into the % ethanol
