overlap Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Has anyone successfully logged the ZF transmission live data with PCMTec when using an aftermarket PCM ? Reading and writing to the TCM etc works as per normal but really need the live data. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wouldn't be the first to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no pcm is detected the "trans" button is not selectable in the logger. It looks like it was disabled as there was confusion with people not knowing to connect to the PCM and TCM separately. Now the datalogger automatically connects to the PCM+TCM in one go. As a result of us combining the connect functionality you cannot click the TCM connect button without an OEM PCM being detected. Haltech did originally propose to emulate a PCM for use with our software, but they did not decide to go ahead with this so we did not implement it. You'll have to use something else to datalog the TCM. Or tie the stock PCM back in on the CAN network, I'm not sure how that will go but it might work. Being as we don't charge credits for the ZF licensing/datalogging, we are not likely to make any changes here. There might be some hacks to get the TCM button to show up, like connecting to a PCM+TCM on the bench and then hot swapping it, or maybe trying to open a PCM file and use the table trace function. If this works it is not by design, rather a bug that might work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
