    The bit flags for ACIS are bits to activate/deactivate the sensor all together for each mode. Don't mess with them unless you don't want ACIS to work at all
    On the AT it should be 1, not 25600.xx, I'll check that

    @MOC221_ is 04b41 (19 MT)
    I am 04b14 (17 MT)

    should they both be set the the same (25600.78)? @MOC221_ is set to 1

    It's suppose to show "1" in the software so I'm checking why it shows that for AT

    I think the issue is with the latest vf version.
    Before that , STOCK b04 had 1 for low and high. I updated vf a few days ago and it affected STOCK file.

    Know one seems to know the answer to that.

    @OVTune
    Whether we are an old Flash Kit customer with vF Tuner or a new vF Tuner customer, If we get the Tacoma 3.5 vF Tune Pack will that be something we only need to get once? If we purchase additional vF Tuner Credits to unlock another ECU ID, will that only allow stock tune editing or does that give us the access to your Tune Pack for the additional ECU ID?

    I would check your ACIS is not malfunctioning, as we have had reports from some people that they become caked in sludge from the PCV.

    I always thought of the cigarette lighter socket as being a good source to tap in to the wiring for a voltage gauge, shy of going directly to the battery (which is best). It is on it's own fuse and circuit, usually.

    Today I tested the voltage Key On Engine Off and Key On Engine On. I let it settle for about five minutes in each test.

    Here are the results with a Multi-Meter vs OBD Fusion vs Cigarette Lighter Volt Meter.

    I gave the Multi-Meter an extra digit to the right of the decimal point, if I didn't all readings would have been identical. I usually rely on Fluke Meters. This Craftsman Meter is affordable and I mostly bought it for the High DC Amp Clamp not found in most Multi-Meters, for verifying high loads.

    All said and done this item from Amazon seems to be doing a good job, is very affordable and you can take it easily from car to car (no, I don't have any affiliattion with this product in any way, shape, or form, LOL).

    Interesting. I have seen variance in the past when the motor was running.

    Great work!

    this and that...
    i got tired of waiting so i ended up putting premium (92) today. still had maybe a good 1/4 tank left of that efree (89) in the tank. booted up the laptop, put my virus pro on idle, and loaded up vftuner; one speed, none of this deleting the shortcut and reinstalling because mcafee got its feelings hurt. popped in prem superfob and away we go. flashing went very quick and seamless compared to the first time i did it. during my inital ride i probably caught whiplash turning onto the street cause i forgot to turn off my sb. i was pretty taken aback tbh. turned down sb some so i could get a handle of what im dealing with lol. feels very good. again, i love the fact that the vvti changeover is gone; just nice steady pull all the way up the powerband. by the end of my inital run, ive gotten acclimated to the way the truck behaves and set my sb back to sport9. truck now has bipolar tendencies. if youre just cruising, its nice and humble, just as if you were driving a stock taco. if you need to get on it for whatever reason, it snaps and punches it till you let off the gas. of course everyones driving experience is different. what works for me doesnt work for someone else, and the same could even be said with the way ovt interacts with the truck itself. my build was made for the streets. other builds such as overland, offroad, or even mall crawlers, might not fare the same way just cause all that extra weight that goes in to make it what it is. is flashing to prem superfob worth it? i think so. you can tell the difference right off the bat. i will say though. its not as an extreme difference going from reg superfob to prem superfob as it is going from stock (inital flash) to reg superfob.

    edit: oh. what is the whole adjusting the voltage all about? i seen a few conversations about it. whats the perk of fooling around with that?

    Hmmm.

    Going to try some bit flags = 0. What's the worst thing that can happen?

    Bog? Hesitation? Output weirdness?

    Been through all of that lol.

    From what I can tell on his website, the tune pack states you get the tunes for the
    3.5L engine but doesn't state which ecu. I'll send in a zendesk and see how I can get the manual tune pack so I can tune a buddies truck this weekend and see what the response is

    You'd have to purchase or receive from another person who owns the pack.

    Will pm you

    Using credits to unlock an ECU allows you to edit vF format tunes for that ECU, stock or otherwise

    I'm also hoping the research into throttle limitation <3500 as mentioned in the TT thread is actively ongoing and gets resolved. Would love to see that as a future update for all of us!

    I have the same question, hopefully someone can chime in. Maybe @Shellshock cause I know he's been tuning other trucks.
