Here is an extract of what we posted on our forum last night, although it's a little outdated now, so please read right to the end.
Hi All,
Well the good news is the testers are ready to move on to phase two of the beta program. This will involve tuning the trucks
The first phase of the beta involved reading the ECM calibrations out and then reflashing the unmodified tunes back in. There was a couple of teething problems with a module on the CAN bus causing some grief but that was sorted out pretty fast.
The feedback we have from on truck reading / flashing is as follows.
* No fuse removal required.
* No DTC's set.
* No VIN cleared.
* No double key off/on at end of flash.
* Interrupted reflash full recovery ok.
ECM Read Time: 4:30
ECM Flash Time: 5:30
These times are a typical average, it does vary by maybe 10 - 20 seconds depending on the operating system in the truck, all the test trucks are of course 2006-2007's.
All good news so far!
The even better news is that overnight we've had a number of testers modify the calibrations in their vehicles with excellent results on a few fronts. Firstly, the software worked without issue - there are no dead trucks (or ECM's), there are still no errors/DTC's or VIN issues at the end of the flash.
On the tuning front, the comments we've received include
* Much smoother delivery of power.
* Drivability improvements.
* The results from these few table changes compare to nothing else I've tried.
There is still lots of testing to be done to bullet-proof the software before it's released, but we are much closer to a release date than we were just a few days ago.
Cheers
Cindy
