Laz and I were the primary tuners of Volterado and neither of us owns a first gen Volt so tuning has come to a halt.
PM me if you want a copy of the tune.
At a later date, when I'm not swamped at work, I'll post copies of our tune.
this is an original file of a euro version of a 2012 chevy volt , an 1 small modified file of the same car
quick question, figured here might be easiest since you guys have volts and hptuners. under the scanner side, there's options to send commands. like turn on the cooling fans, and to what %. this option works when using it on my c6 but my volt it doesn't seem to have fan control.
has anyone tried the scanner diagnostic controls on their volt and it work?
Sorry, no clue. Our tune had fan control optimized. Fans primarily ran when vehicle wasn't moving. No need to do things manually.
it's just a test function, not intended to be driven that way. check to see if the fan circuit is working. since they are brushless and going for cheap on eBay, they might make a nice upgrade for the pro touring guys, I was trying to check full load amp draw and get an idea of air flow compared to other fans I have.
hp tuners has a few nice diagnostic tools built into the scanner, that even some expensive hand held obd2 scanner won't do. just seemed weird to me that the commands didn't work on the volt. I would expect them to work on other cars like the Cruz and stuff.
maybe I'll open a help ticket.
There won't be any more development on the first gen or second gen Volts by our team. Neither Laz or I have first gen Volts and in a few weeks I won't have a second gen Volt either. Despite working with them for a couple of months, HPT wasn't able to add second gen support so I decided I'd let someone else work with them.
Hello
I just bought an opel ampera, and read the thread, this is great!
however I would like to be able to mod the battery/electric
https://ve.simonandre.ca/module20/ they offer a 20%range mod. I wonder if there is a way to do that if your not living in in canada? (I have contacted them and they dont do any overseas trades)
I have also contacter hptuners to know if they could provide this kind of support!
they also say +20 power, and THAT is more interesting!

Power is changed too! look at the table: before 108-110kw. After: 126-130kw
That's power over time. Your voltage or amps hasn't changed. It's like a small Honda battery vs a big Cummins diesel battery. Both of them will start your car and crank at the same speed. The big battery might crank it for an hour vs about a few minutes for the little battery.
not!
the higher power is delivered only in HOLD mode, when both the ICE and battery supply power to the motor
Hi,
I have a first gen 2012 volt,
Is there any way I could get a copy of your tune?
Any chance you could send me a copy of your tune I could use with my ?14 Volt? I understand I need to modify my stock tune and combine your tune info into my tune for it to work. I?m also going to look into getting an ethonol sensor so I can run any combo of fuel 😁
Thanks!
Curious about this too
Hi, I've read my total
here is my file
the chevy volt is exactly the same as the ampera
