    Anyone have issues VVE tuning late model GENV stuff? Limp mode w/no maf

    I've ran through a few 2018-19 cars that won't let us tune the VVE. As soon as you turn off the MAF, the car goes into limp mode. Is there an option or way around this? Clearly we can't tune in limp mode. What have you guys been doing or are you not running into this issue?

    I used this walk through

    Make sure you make all the MAF MIL indicators "No Error Reported", if I recall correctly. I just went through this, and forgot a single code, and that kept putting me into RED. Otherwise - using a similar format to Gen III stuff to run SD seemed to work for me.

    Good luck.

    You don't need to disable MAF to calibrate VVE. With the GMVE value available on CAN, we haven't needed to turn the MAF off for over 10 years. You can gather the error data on both airflow sources simultaneously.

    Wait... What? You dont need to disable MAF to tune VVE or disable VVE to tune MAF anymore? Please do tell. This would save so much time! This may be dumb sounding but this is the first time Ive noticed this being said...

    Do a search on GMVE. You can log it and apply an error to it to build a VVE table in the scanner. I think there is good content in the GenIV section if I recall correctly.

    Have you ever thought of using the Gen V PIDs, Mass Airflow & Volumetric Airflow & Dynamic Airflow in the equation to accomplish the same? Not suggesting it would work, just curious if you've tried. I was actually looking at building a table today with these PID's to determine how far off the MAF and VVE were from each other. Although as I type this I realize this wouldn't likely work as VE Airflow maxes out around 5500 RPM And stays flat until red line. That does not reflect the VVE tables at all either.

    So long as HPT has those variables defined for your application, they will work the same. You just need to make adjustments to the parameter yourself.

    Yes these parameters are widely available in the Gen V GM platform. I use them as a quick reference to see if VVE varies greatly from MAF in regards to airmass calculations. I still haven't discovered why VVE Calculated Airmass hits a ceiling at around 500 g/s of air and stays at that value until redline regardless of how far beyond it the MAF goes. Even the OEM tune converts to filtered MAF way before this airmass so it makes no difference in fueling. I only find it useful at part throttle driving anyhow.

    That is an HP Tuners limitation. If you run my math parameter, it references a GMVE airflow calculation that doesn't have that 512g/s hard stop. You can extract the function from the parameter and make a new parameter with it to monitor GMVE airflow separately.

    Yep I'm playing with this today. Is there a need to do anything other than tell the chart the pedal position is greater than 0% to get good data? I typically use this method on basic setups rather then turning off DFCO/CFCO to log. If you remove 0% pedal position it filters out most or all DFCO/CFCO data.

    If you have any airflow mode or status enumerations to monitor, I would bring those in. Anything that actually indicates steady state rather than just inferring it from other variables is very useful.

    Hey smokeshow, is there any way you can save these maths and tables to be able to load them up into a scanner for gen v?

    I'm currently tuning for headers and a new TB. Having issues getting things dialed because of all the fail-safes I am running in to. I am unable to disable stft, I'm using a wb btw. I can't get DFCO to not engage and mess up my maf data.

    I am close to having the maf tuned I believe however I would really like to understand this method of doing both a bit better. It would save me days of before and after work tuning.

    I really appreciate any help.

    I can set volumetric efficiency as a channel, but it stays at 0 and thusly cant get any GMVE STFT % values?

    What kinda values should I be seeing for that? Other people on GenV have that reading?

    Make sure it's the Volumetric Efficiency (mg*K/kpa) one, not just the ratio...
