cj.surr Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 Having this issue with PC Link ver 5.6.7.3632 Sometimes, when I have my tune file open and PC link connects to the ECU, it will close my tune file and open the tune file stored on the ECU. It doesn't bring up any dialog before doing this. The tune file name/path in the header of the PC Link window disappears when this happens. I haven't figured out exactly when this happens, but it seems to do it more often if I have been away from the car, changing settings.

cj.surr Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Bump, nobody else having this problem? It happens at least a couple times every time that I try to tune the car. Is there a way I could send a debug file of PCLink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Hill Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Yes, this is normal, and has been the same since at least 5.6.4 I always try and close pc link before I connect or have more than one copy open so you can keep the current file open.

Adamw Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 This is how it’s meant to work. If you have a map open when you connect to an ecu, PC Link will compare the two configs, if there are only small changes it will ask you if you want to write them into the ecu. If there are large differences it it load the config out of the ecu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are large differences it it load the config out of the ecu. I see, I wish that it would always ask if I wanted to load write the changes to the ecu, no matter how large. Because when it just loads the config out of the ecu and doesn't notify about anything, it's easy to think there were not any changes in the tune file. Then you carry on, tuning the config loaded from the ecu, until you realize there is no filename associated with the open tune file. Then you have to open the old file and see what's different, plus the changes you've recently made to the config file that was automatically loaded.... I've lost a good bit of time this way. If it's not possible for PCLink to ask if you want to load a tune with large differences, there should at least be a dialog that notifies what's going on (tune uploaded from ECU is replacing the open tune). dynoiasi and Mot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
