    I've been going through these tables and my old stock techstream logs for a while. I was not able yet to link data in those tables to the techstream data.
    Was able to link ACIS control.
    Some table have confusing info accelerator angle becomes throttle angle in the graph, previously mentioned kph vs mph, etc.

    There are a few table definitions (which you see as x,y,z stuff) that needs some additional updating in the program

    I didn’t know you had to reset the AT too, I thought it was just the LV?!? That should be included in the manual...

    I saw it on the instructions, on the website, plus a lot of the guys & gals on here recommend doing it.

    I must have missed it in the instructions. Weird, I have never heard it mentioned from any users.

    On the blog post where you downloaded the 2.0 files, it says it is recommended, in red font.

    If it’s only there and not in the instructions then that would explain why I missed it. I printed out the instructions and was using that as my reference material to go through the process, I didn’t look for any additional directions on another webpage.

    Is there any estimate on when the tune packs for AT, and 2.0 final with all options will be released?

    Something else I'm curious about, I assume since readiness monitors are cleared when you disconnect the battery, that the LV and AT values clear when you disconnect the battery as well, is that correct?

    No. Only DTC and readiness settings are reset when the battery is disconnected or a tune is flashed. LV and AT Resets are not cleared unless you do it in TS or the OV Flash Tool.

    When I first got OVT, I was pulling both terminals and touching them together for a moment. After the Resets were added to FM, I finally tried them and they made a huge improvement for me. For my MT, I hit the DTC and LV Resets when flashing unless specifically told not to, like for a test tune. I like starting with a clean slate for comparison purposes.

    Note that in TS, it will report time and mileage since the last DTC Reset. Of course, any OBD device can reset DTCs. It is a good way of checking mileage since you flashed a tune though.

    Thanks. I’m going to reset the AT values when I head to lunch today. I’ll probably just reset the LV as well to start with an entirely clean slate. Sucks I’ll have to put a bunch of miles on it again until it settles in... that’s what I get for not reading all the directions though!

    No big deal. It will sort itself out pretty quickly, then you be in fat city.


    No one knows it all. It took me several flashes to be my process down.

    I don’t have to flash it again right? Just reset the LV and AT values?

    Correct. The tune will not be affected. You're just clearing the values that the ECUs have stored from the various sensors.

    @OVTune.
    Quick question.
    If we were troubleshooting "rev hanging" on 2.0, which tables do we look at?
    Thanks
