Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

FM should be 1.30.Go to page one and get link for correct FM. Be sure you delete old one

 

Same. Everything grayed out.

 

Like the others said, about a month ago he made the requirement. The upside for you, is when you send in your dongle you get the new vFtuner software for free. Go to ovtuned website, in the homepage scroll down a little for the link.

 

I cleared DTC by mistake. What is DTC?

 

Just flashed and went for a 20 mile drive. Drives great! Did have a slight hesitation when starting and a slightly rough warm up but that's expected when clearing AT & LV. Will report back after a few h uh bdred miles.

Flashed stock 91 tune for 31-33 inch tires

 

I missed the part where we had to revert back. Is it neccesary?

 

Same issue with new FM. hmmmmm

 

Try right clicking the FM icon and run as administrator
Did you load the tactic drivers? If not look under tuning dropdown in FM and do so

 

Diagnostic Trouble Code. You’ll be fine.

 

@OVTune
I have to ask- this is not the real final version, right? You’re releasing tunes in careful stages until the the final, final version with mode (mood?) switching to base, performance, etc.? At any rate, thanks for the excellent product. It just gets better and better.

 

From what I understand this is the final release for 04B04 if no additional issues are reported and then released for the other ECUs. And I don't believe there is base or performance. Just octane and tire size.

In normal operation its the base tune. With ETC enabled it will run the performance tune. And S is now gear lock and works great. S + ETC should be tow mode meaning Atkinson cancel full Otto cycle. And can keep it in S4 to keep it out of overdrive.

 

Just loaded Updated 2.0 91 31-33. No issues with software or Flashing the tune. Have a 60+ mile drive home through the mountains shortly and my 60ish mile commute tomorrow. Excited, start up was smoother even after resetting LV and AT.

 

Yea tried running as admin and loading/reloading the drivers. No deal.

 

Sounds like we need to ask @OVTune what the schedule/plan is as well as what is what

 

You mean you reset the values after the car was above 176, not flash after the car was above 176, right?

 

I wouldnt worry about this. Its been discussed many times in this thread. Just flash the truck, click reset LV/AT, idle for 10 min and you are good. Your truck will learn and set trims and all. This is why he asked for testers to drive 100 miles before reporting feedback

 

Why am I grayed out on p5flash utility?

p5flash update.
Tactrix drivers downloaded.
OBDll cable insert.
Truck is on.

 

The following method is old school and maybe doesn’t make a difference, but I flash on a warm truck, then reset. I understand this way allows learning to occur sooner/faster.

 

This was one of the last times this was brought up. Do whatever you want, but its not required

 

@JaTe and I are not saying it’s required. Only that there’s reason to believe it helps the truck learn faster as described. Mat said cold is ok, not that it’s better or preferred.
