  1. Code59 Tech Session

  2. Big Thanks!

  3. Overview • What is Code59? • What is needed to run Code59? • How to install Emulator and ALDL Cable • What COM Port is my ALDL Cable on? • How to Use TunerPro • Exploring the Code59 XDF • Basic Code59 Tuning Tables • Closed vs Open Loop • How to tune – Drivability before WOT • How to Use Autotune

  4. What’s Code59? • Code59 is free stuff to help you tune your truck for better power, reliability, mileage, and drivability. • Code59 includes • Tools to help with tuning • Base binary images (chip files) to get started with, for various builds and injector sizes • Definition files for TunerPro RT so that it understands Code59

  5. Why use Code59? • We made it better – improvements to the base GM “operating system” to make it easier to tune, with integrated Wide-Band o2 capabilities. Also, tools like AutoTune to do a bunch of the heavy lifting for you to get started. • Purchased “chips” are hit-n-miss; some will work ok on your truck, some won’t. • Does what the aftermarket systems (FAST,DFI) do, for a lot less. • You can do this stuff! Tune it yourself to save $, and get better results than what you can buy off the shelf.

  6. What do I need? • Wide-Band o2 sensor setup • Recommended units: • PLX SM-AFR • Innovate LM-1 (LC-1 is ok, too) • Many others supported • check the code59.org website for list • Wide Band sensor outputs must be wired into the ECM, Pin F14 for the Wide-Band signal and any good ECM ground for the signal ground. (Pin B9 in the center connector is a good place for ground or ECM Case) • Good Install Guide http://www.syty.net/forums/showthread.php?t=48363

  7. What do I need?(continued) • TunerPro RT: • http://www.TunerPro.net/download • Only $30 • ALDL Cable • Moates XtremeALDL –USB to Serial adapter and ALDL Cable http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=73_64&products_id=127 • AKM Cables http://www.akmcables.com/order.htm • ALDLCables.com http://www.aldlcable.com/ • ECM MEMCAL adapter • Moates G1 http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=32

  8. What do I need?(continued) • Ostrich, or chip burner • Huh? Ostrich WTF is that? Moates Ostrich – Allows you to make tuning changes “on the fly” while the vehicle is running http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=169 • Burner • Unlike the Ostrich, this won’t do changes while running; you have to shut it off, pull the chip, re-burn the chip, put the chip back in… lather, rinse, repeat. The upside - cheaper. http://www.moates.net/product_info.php?cPath=31&products_id=197 • Laptop - with USB • MS Office or OpenOffice to run AutoTune.

  9. What do I need?(continued) • Code59 XDF for TunerPro bin editing • Code59 ADS for TunerPro logging • Code59 Bin file for your Injector Size • All of these can be found at www.code59.org

  10. Getting Started • I’ve got all of the above…now what? • First things first, get it all hooked up. Wide-band, Ostrich, Scan Tool cable. • Download a suitable starter bin (one for your injector size) for your truck from code59.org download area. Put it in the TunerPro bin directory <location> • Download the code59 ads and xdf files, and put them in the appropriate directory. • Start TunerPro • Make a few data logs in TunerPro to make sure it all works

  11. How to hook up Ostrich to your ECM

  12. What COM port is my ALDL Cable on? • Before connecting your USB ALDL Cable, Right click on My Computer and go to Properties. • Click on Hardware Tab and then go to Device Manager Pictures are for XP, Vista will look slightly different but how you look up the COM Port is similar.

  13. What COM port is my ALDL Cable on? - Continued • Expand the Ports (COM&LPT) section • Connect your USB ALDL Cable • The New Com Port will Show up in Ports section • Remember the COM port number as you will need to put this in the COM port setting in the TunerPro ALDL connection. In this example it is COM4

  14. What exactly is a Bin, ADS and XDF? • BIN • The actual code and information on the chip. • ADS • Translator to laptop on what words the ECM is speaking (english, spanish, canadian, etc.) • XDF • Road Map to where info is on the chip, and how to display numbers so us dumb humans can understand it. • Make sure XDF and ADS are in the same location

  15. How to use TunerPro • Load XDF, ADS and Bin • Set COM Port for ALDL cable • TunerPro Interface and Toolbar • How to edit Tables, Constants and Flags • How to use Toolbox in Table Editor • View Graphs • Find an item to edit (ctrl-f is your friend) • Connect/Record ALDL • Enable Datatracing to see the Bubble • How to log and export a log file for Autotune

  16. Load XDF and BIN • Goto XDF menu and then select XDF to load it into TunerPro – Best to load XDF before BIN. • Goto File Menu and Open BIN to load the chip you want to tune.

  17. Load ADS File • Hit F4 to get to the ALDL Setup Menu • or go to Tools, ALDL Menu then Setup • Click on Browse button to Load the ADS file

  18. Loaded ADS File ADS File loaded – It should look like this

  19. Setting the COM Port in TunerPro for ALDL Cable • Goto Tools then Preferences on the Menu • Set Interface to MAX232 • Change COM port Number to the one you saw in the Device Manager

  20. TunerPro Interface • Broken up into Sections (left side of the screen) • Constants • Flags • Tables • ALDL Dash, ALDL Values, ALDL Flags, XDF Notes, etc. at the bottom of the TunerPro Screen

  40. Demo Show hookup, data collection.

  41. Exploring the Code59 XDF • In each section we have Organized all the Constants, Flags and Tables in common sections. • Fuel, Spark, Boost, WBo2, etc.

  42. Common Constants • Closed Loop Temperature Enable • RPM Limit • EGR Shut Off

  43. Closed Loop vs Open Loop • CLOSED LOOP - allows the ECM to make fuel corrections. You never want to tune your vehicle in Closed Loop. You will be chasing your tail. • OPEN LOOP – ECM runs the VE numbers in your F29x table without making any corrections.

  44. How to put ECM in OPEN LOOP? • Do a find in TunerPro (CTRL+F) for Closed and look for the item labeled Temperature for Closed Loop Enable (KCLTC) • Set this to 151°C to Force the ECM into OPEN LOOP

  45. Cutoff– Injectors are turned off at this RPM Resume – Once RPMs drop to this setting, injectors will turn back on Make sure you set it for the correct number of Cylinders you have. Hey why does my V8 Ty shut off at 4000 RPMs… Did you check the V8 Fuel Cut off and Not the V6 Cut off……………JEFF  RPM Limit/Fuel Cutoff

  46. Disable EGR • EGR - Temperature Level for EGR Enable (KEGRTEM1) – Set this to 151°C to disable.

  47. Common Flags • Wideband Flags • Select the correct WBo2 flag for your sensor. • Make sure only one Wideband flag is selected.

  48. Basic Fuel/Timing Tables • F28 – This is essential our BPC – Constant amount of time the injectors will opened. • F29x – Main Fuel Table • F77x – Boost Multiplier • F1 – Main Timing Table

  49. Base Pulse Constant -vs- Desired EGR (F28) • This table is always used regardless if your EGR is disabled or not. If disabled the 0% setting will be used. Best to set it the same for all cells. • This is essential our Base Pulse Constant (BPC).

  50. F29x – Main Fuel Table • F29x – This is the main fuel table. This is the table Autotune works with. • Can’t go over 99.69VE in a cell • Now you can fine tune the boost cells.
