Title: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on January 17, 2011, 08:25:40 AM
Hi all,

I've recently been working on my Volvo S60 T5 with ME7, and as the software layout is "quite similar" to the VAG ME7, it was straight forward to locate and adjust the basic maps for more performance (i.e. fuel, ignition, limiters, boost paramters). The car has now elevated boost from approx. 0.8 bar to 1.4 bar but I'm running out of fuel (both due to injector size and fuel pump capacity). As I'm switching injectors now I have trouble locating the proper settings in the software and I'm seeing the need for a definition file to take this project further (with new turbo, new fuel pump, new injectors, new IC, new clutch).

Understanding that this is basically a VAG dominated forum  ;) I thought it was worth a shot just asking if anyone has a DAMOS for Volvo ME7 (29F800 chip, i.e. 1.024 kB size).

Any input is appreciated,


Best Regards
Fredrik

What tool are you using to flash? I tried connecting to my coworkers S60R with Tony's nefmoto flashing tool and could not connect.

Thanks!

What tool are you using to flash?

To be honest I don't use any tool to flash actually as I have not yet gotten my hands on any stable flash tool that works properly in 100% of the cases. As a result, I've gone the "old school way" of de-soldering the stock IC, read it using a Batronix programmer (BX40 Bagero... Costs about $250US) and then used an AM29F800BB chip that can be programmed an "unlimited ammonut of times" using the same Batronix gear. As this is sort of a project still in progress, I've soldered a chip socket in the ECU that allows me to just "snap" the chip into place with no need for soldering, making re-programming fairly easy. Taking the ECU out of the car, opening it up, removing the AM29F800BB, erasing it, programming it with a new file, putting it back in the socket and then putting the ECU back in the car takes about 5 minutes at the most so it's really no big deal so I'm in no hurry to find a flashing tool although it would be comfortable I guess...
Once the updated software is completed I'll probably solder the chip back into the ECU again.

Fredrik, I would be interested to see a dump of an S60 orig file, can you provide one.
Will be easier than searching the internet for Volvo images  ;).

Sure, here it is. Keep in mind that Volvo (for some strange reason) sets the same HW and SW identifier in basically all their files regardless what the files actually are. Regardless what the file is, they most often state HW 0261204559 and SW 359462 in the files which can be very confusing.

I've come across basically two different architectures (one quite similar to VAG layout and one... Well... Let's say that it's not as easily navigated) of the Volvo ME7 files. The one posted here is from my car and represents the "easily navigated" architecture. Just by the visual apperance of the file you can easily find the most common areas needed for tuning when you know your way around a VAG ME7 file.


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: setzi62 on January 22, 2011, 10:15:33 AM
Thanks for the dump and the hints about versions and layout. I was more interested to
look for the K-line communication functions in this image than locating the maps for tuning.
I could find the same communication functions as used in VAG ecu's. Fastinit and slowinit
with address 0x11 should be possible for KWP2000, but as expected KWP1281 is not supported.


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: fredrik_a on January 24, 2011, 04:29:07 AM
should be possible for KWP2000

Yes it is. In the current SW package that comes with a standard KWP2000 interface there is no support for this ECU (if I remember things correctly), but for the updated MPPS-flasher there is support for Volvo Me7. http://www.amtcartech.com
Come to think of it, I think that they also released a separate ME7 software package for the old KWP2000 actually. I'll do some digging...

I've also upped the stakes somewhat in the project as new rods as well as new cams are finding their way into the engine bay. This presents me with a few challanges where one of them will be boost levels above 1.5 bar. One of my problems so far is that the current setup of stock turbo and stock cams give a horrible back pressure. Once that is taken care of by new cams and a larger turbine housing more boost will be realistic... But as I'm running about 1.4 bars now we are getting very close to the limit of the 250kPa MAP-sensor. I need to find a decent way around this and perhaps a stand-alone boost controller is the only practical way. I managed to locate the map that controlls the allowed boost deviation (target vs actual) and just to make sure it was the right one I re-calibrated it to allow only 0.1 bars of deviation and sure thing... After a short testdrive the fault code for "boost deviation" flashed so it was obviously the right one. In theory perhaps I could FF this entire table to run a separate boost controller... Time will tell...

It's not the ideal way to have a separate boost control unit, but what can you do if you don't want to re-calculate all possible functions in the ECU by changing to a 300kPa sensor or something like this.


The fun continues but as previsously mentioned... A proper damos would be helpful.  ;D


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: fredrik_a on March 12, 2011, 03:22:33 AM
Has anyone found anything of interest on the Volvo ME7 damos subject? :-)

The engine is now fitted with new turbo, new rods, new cams, new fuel pump, new fuel injectors and new intercooler. The engine starts up and works quite well after having adjusted the MAF-scaling and a few other things. Back pressure has dramatically gone down on full load from 130% to 80% (relative MAP) so the cam switch wasn't a complete waste. Only penalty is that boost enters about 200 rpm's later compared to stock cams.

The issues so far...


The stock ME7 software combined with the stock cams will never enable fuel injectors before the intake valve is open, no point in squirting fuel on closed valves with no airflow. After having switched the cams, the valves do open earlier and also closes later and as a result... The engine will start to consume air with no fuel added to it for a short period of time creating what I would suspect being a non ideal mixture. This needs to be adressed but I can't seem to find the proper settings for this timing so... If anyone stumbles over a Volvo ME7 Damos... Please let me know :-)

read your bin and start searching......me7 is me7...you just gotta know what you need to find..

i have tuned 996T's without damos and just searching maps from knowing the 1.8t VW's and having an idea of whta im looking for.

I have no further information, but my car is working properly as is right now. There are of course a few details that needs to be adressed (at least in theory) but for day-2-day driving it works perfectly.

As mentioned above, the layout of the Volvo ME7 comes in two basic versions and one of them is very similar to the VAG ones so if you know your way around VAG you can quite easily make decent adjustments for your basic Stage 1-2-3 tunes. Of course, finding the functions for rear lambda disable etc. (that might come in handy if using a cat with lower efficiency than stock) might still be a challange.

The other layout used by Volvo is a bit trickier to navigate if you are used to VAG...


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: fredrik_a on August 03, 2011, 04:16:27 AM
Ok, a friendly source hooked me up with a semi-suitable set of documentation for my ECU and voila, the last functions I needed to adjust are completed and the car has just hit the dyno.

In stock condition Volvo claims 250hp/330Nm for this engine type. Whether this is minimum, average or maximum is hard to tell, and how (what standard) the performance is/was measured is also something I have no clue about. Never the less...

As the dyno is not free rolling you can set if you want to measure at a fixed rpm or in an interval, and the duration of the interval can be set as well. I choose (for a number of reasons actually) to run 2krpm to 7krpm in 15 seconds and results are as follows:

Maximum boost 1.52 bar
Maximum back pressure in turbine housing 1.27 bar
Maximum EGT 872°C (during hard driving on the road it get's a bit higher than this though)
Maximum temperature after intercooler 51°C (cooling in the dyno is not as efficient as on the road with a headwind of 100 mph)
Maximum power 387 hp (6110 rpm)
Maximum torque 579 Nm (2715 rpm)

As there is room for more power (EGT OK, back pressure OK, MAT OK etc.) next step is to figure out this 1.55 bar boost pressure level thing.

Hi all,

Just got back from my holidays. I got some info as well.

@ Fredrik_a: Would you mind posting your ori and tuned file (or email it to me t5suite@home.nl). I will not share your work but use it for reference / research only of course.

I can find the most important maps in ME7 files in the meantime (ignition, requested load, boost control, lambda, enrichment etc). Not everything, but i'm still working on it.

Nice result on the dyno btw!!!

Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: fredrik_a on September 10, 2011, 03:46:05 AM
I'll try so summarize all changes done to the stock software and send it to you when I'm back from my current business trip.
In general, ME7 is ME7 so if you have a good idea of how the VAG ME7 version work (read a  Funktionsrahmen carefully) you will be able to figure out very well how most things are set up for Volvo as well. For a "stage 1" tune there are basically just a few things needed to be done, but working with Volvos there is another challenge (at least it was for me) as there is no VCDS or equivalent software available for Volvo, i.e. logging becomes difficult outside the general parameters available through standard OBD comms where the resolution and number of parameters are really limited.

The logging is of course available using Volvos own software VIDA, but that software including the proper hardware comes at a price (even though you buy a chinese clone) so this will most likely present a challenge for anyone wanting to tune properly beyond the basic stages I guess.

Good luck with the Volvo ME7 work and I'll be glad to help where I can.

Hi .
I am new here. Ithink i have the same engine in my car its xxxxxxt3. 184kW/250HP. Its 2001 V70 t5. Can you plz tell me what are the spec. of material you used i mean which turbo, what fuel injectors, ect. Also  if you can tell me which cable should i use to flash the ECU. I have Elm 327 at home, i just ordered Galleto. Do i need KWP2000 also or is any of these two ok?
thx for help.

Hi folks,
I'm the new guy here :)

Straight to the topic,
I've got 03 S60R with all forged engine, EFR 7670 a/r0.83 and some other goodies.

I'm not aiming to self tune the engine, I've got a deal at Rica in Nederland but the problem will be getting there.

As obvious, the targeted power is just under 500kW. To keep with the desired power, I'll need to get around the MAP and MAF sensor's limitations and find a way to calibrate new ones in.
Do you have a suggestion on some of available sensors and the way of calibrating the new raw data to the ECM.

I've got the VIDA/DICE tool and am willing to invest further to get the appropriate equipment for the job. Oh, and I've got the iSoftloader as well.

If someone has a suggestion on which tuner would be more apropriate for the job, feel free to say it.

Many thanks!
S

I don't remember if the S60R has 83 or 85 mm bore? Have you done anything to the cylinder liners if you run 85 mm? I'm not sure that the liners will appreciate you pushing almost 700 hp's with them
as 85 mm bore volvo engines tend to crack in the liners (letting coolant into the combustion chamber) but this is perhaps something you have already concidered?

Hi,
I've got the block re sleeved with Darton MID sleves. The bore is 83mm. It could have been re bored to 83,5mm but I didn't wanted to hassle with that. That should keep up with targeted power with out problems.

What is annoying is the lack of a port flasher.

But Stage 1 tune on a S60R/V70R is REALLY easy, because they are calibrated very well from factory, and all you essentially have to do is bump LDRXN, KFZW/KFZW2 and sometimes KFLDHBN as well as adjust the fueling.

I think the hardest part was getting the ECU out, that was annoying.

No. I did it the old school way.
Hot air and a chip programmer ;)

It was a lot quicker than searching for pinouts and connecting pins on the ECU connector.

i have to say mpps has been pretty painless for me, and you are correct for a good stage 1 prj, it was quite easy in the end, had to play with some boost pid values to smooth everything out, but other then that the basic's

as far as an obd2 flasher, volvo SDA works, but for some reason it keeps timing out on me after erasing, so i have to re-load the ecu through bootmode, i have not tried since then though as i dont really have a huge need?, volvo ecu removal tool and bench flash is fast enough


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?

MPPS only does them in boot mode ...

If I need to tune one properly I'll just put my emulator in.

I take it you were uploading the SBL first with SDA????

I have access to my SBL it's just I'd like to clone a spare ECU to play with rather than risking mine.

immo aside, what do you use to bench flash the Volvo ME7?  I need to buy something just don't want it to be the wrong thing!!

a while back a VBF creator tool was shared with me, and it seems to load in, and go through all of the steps a regular volvo software flash does, but im going to have to take some logs if i get around to it to see what the error was to why it would not write after erasing

as for a bench flasher i took an old ECU box from a junkyard and made a setup out of that using MPPS, i have not had a problem with it using bootmode.

as far as cloning, argdub's tool will not work on p2R's Immo, i had to clone mine the oldschool method of desoldering reading and soldering.

for flashing these chips im using a gq-4x

and prj, the emulator is the best way, but i have still been trying to wrap my head around coding the ECU into a test mode, and due to the fact that i cannot figure that out yet, i have not made the plunge.

Which version of MPPS works with Volvo ME7?

Thanks for sharing.

With SDA you need to send PBL VBF first then a BIN VBF.

I have all of the CAN ID's required to flash if anyone want's to code something.

Reading is only possible sector by sector as far as I know so bench reading your original map is required.  I have the commands for that as well.  I also can get the SBL for my 2005 S60R with a bit of work.

Anybody get anywhere with this?

I have managed to create what appears to be a fairly stable bench flashing system. I have been writing, reading, verifying to check how reliable it is and have not had a problem for the last 20 or so attempts since my first connection with Minimon, which was probably more down to my retarded use of it! Still prooved to me it worked somewhat though!

The bench flasher is made of a harness lifted from a scrapper and wired up according to Autodata and what I have found online. I am using an MPPS 3.0.2.37 which was lent to me, I believe it is a cheap copy one. Everything is done in boot mode.

I downloaded Dilemma's Motronic suite and have been trying to use a combination of that and WinOls to figure out what maps are what. I have a few defined in Ols now; KFMIRL, KFLRST, KFMSNWDK, KFPED, LAMFA and I think KFMIOP. In fairness I should probably say "I think" to the rest of them too!

I have a "stage 2" modified map and a standard one from a UK '06 V70 2.4 T5 which I have been learning to compare on WinOls, and have also made changes in Dilemma's automatically found maps in Motronic suite to locate them in WinOls.

Using WinOls and knowledge of the ME7's seemingly ridiculously over complicated workings (I come from Honda PGMFI OBD 0 & 1, and standalone!) are my current limiting factors I think, so I'm carrying on as best I can, having a good learn along the way! Any information pertaining to these Ecu's would be very much appreciated though! I'm only doing it to tinker with a mates car, and seem to be hooked on figuring it out!

I can try to figure out the attachments thing on here and share the files and/or a pin out if it will help anybody out?

Cheers for any help - Mark

Volvo ME7 pretty similiar to Vag ME7. I even used Galletto2, Vag me7 bootmode for reading and writing, and everything was perfect. I think it can be done with Galletto 1260 also.

P.S. You missed LDRXN, KFZW, KFDLHBN at least.

It was wrong defined  :)

Actaully for stage 1 you can mod only 3 maps: LDRXN, KFLDHBN, KFZW.

KFPED that you found actually is not KFPED, but KFWDKMSN.

Do you happen to have yours to hand?

Would be nice to do the same comparison is all!

The Stage 2 came from a friend of a friend, I have asked what it is but unsure yet. The original file is meant to be from the same car though.

The actual car my friend I am looking into this for has is an ex police V70 T5, I think it is the B5244T5 that is in it. The code on top is 0261208289. I am yet to read his ecu, still practicing before doing his, I wouldn't hear the end if I were to brick it! He just wants it to be faster, I am just a sucker for a challenge, seemingly.

Thanks for the help Terminator, I shall do much more reading!

First, I suggest you to read S4 wiki. The most of maps looks very similiar in 2D mode with VAG ECU.

Thanks for that! I have found the other three similar maps next to that and am trying to figure out which is which now, and to find the axes.

I am very envious of your ability to just recognise them all! I imagine it will take years before I get to that point!

Would you say that the tuning strategy used by the author of this "stage 2" map is any good?

Thanks again - Mark

Would you say that the tuning strategy used by the author of this "stage 2" map is any good?

The strategy with KFMIRL/KFMIOP is quite interesting, in particualar KFMIOP... Also, KFLDHBN would benefit if adjusted somewhat as well for higher boost levels if that was requested by LDRXN but
LDRXN is kept untouched... I'd say it's total crap to be honest.

 :D

Thanks for the honesty Fredrik. I had planned to just try this map on with my LM-2 plugged in and make sure the AFR's were at least something like, but shan't bother now!

Care to elaborate upon the peculiarities of the KFMIRL vs KFMIOP relationship?

I have also just been informed that the lad had a problem with torque surging with this map. Is it that the requested load is beyond the limit, LDRXN, then?

Any chance you could post the location of LDRXN? And any of the other maps locations would be appreciated! In fact, any other info at all!

All the best, and many thanks - Mark

Cheers!

Do you happen to have yours to hand?

Would be nice to do the same comparison is all!

The Stage 2 came from a friend of a friend, I have asked what it is but unsure yet. The original file is meant to be from the same car though.

The actual car my friend I am looking into this for has is an ex police V70 T5, I think it is the B5244T5 that is in it. The code on top is 0261208289. I am yet to read his ecu, still practicing before doing his, I wouldn't hear the end if I were to brick it! He just wants it to be faster, I am just a sucker for a challenge, seemingly.

Thanks for the help Terminator, I shall do much more reading!

My original is posted in the forum, my tuned file is a paid for MTE tune and I won't post that as I don't think it's right.  I have about 25 maps defined and I'm 90% sure it's the same layout, I'll put some time to it later in the week I've got work deadlines which have priority.

The MTE tunes I've seen are generally very well thought through.
All changes makes sense and it's quite clear that they in general have good defentitions (or have spent plenty of time with disassembly).

It seems very well thought through, I, like the OP am working on defining the maps so I can tweak if needed.

Marco from MTE was a mapper at Volvo so I think he will have ALL of the definitions!

I have an A2L/Damos file for Volvo ME7 but it only matches up for the earlier ME7.0 bins unfortunately...

I think so, I've met the guy.  I can't comment on the stealing but I think he should know it inside out anyway, without needing files.

Pity there isn't any definition files for the later cars.

Entirely understandable. I am hearing great things of MTE! Out of interest, how much did the tune cost, and where did you go to get it?

I had a bit of a look at your file and the ones I have, they seem very similar to me, just offset a little here and there.

Still hunting for this LDRXN line, like a needle in a haystack is how I'd describe that!

I have been reading up on the IRL IOP relationship too, as suggested... I'm glad there is now a calculator for it!

I'm pretty sure the map locations are identical.

It was about £420 can't quite remember as it was a few years ago.  You can get them from the UK from a reseller called Don N0rchi.  He's not a fan of me so I'll leave that there :)

Re LDRXN, I load your map tonight when I have a minute and if it matches up I'll post when you can find it. 

Here's my MTE version, it's scaled to 8000RPM  ;D

i really like tuning these cars, small group though, i would love to
port over a NLS/anti lag type of thing like you guys have, i know its 100% possible for someone with the knowledge
but thats where my limits are  :(
plus i do this for fun

Indeed they are. I guess one of the reasons is that they, with very little effort, can make 300 hp's which is, to say the least, a decent power level in a family car.
Reaching 300 hp in for instance the VAG 1.8T requires a bit more work and hardware upgrades, the Volvo can run 300-320 hp basically using stock engine with just an exhaust system upgrade.  :)

Depends on how you look at it I guess. From an engine point of view it might be so, but the fact that availability and cost for 1.8T vehicles and Volvo 2.4T/2.5T/T5 vehicles are much closer (at least where I live) makes it a valid comparison I think. :)

The volvo 5-banger is a very capable motor.  There's folks on the Volvo boards pushing 400hp off them after upgrading rods and bearings, 300hp is pretty straight forward with the right bolt-ons, even on the 1st gen B5234.  Best off all they don't look like a speed car. Sleepers are the best!

Hello there,

I am starting to tune some Volvo files as well, have tuned audi and VW and things are similar, can find kfmirl and kmiop and timing maps, but hoping to find KRKTE, would love some help trying to locate this map if possible. I looked at your stg 3 file, would sure help if you had the original to compare it to so that locating the changed maps would be easier.

I have attached the T6 file I am working on, still working on locating all the maps, if anyone has any tips on locating the injector constant or KRTE, that would be great.

thanks,

John

Yes yes, that'd be me :) Just about achieved all my goals, "rev 1" binaries are now up on the Volvospeed thread (http://volvospeed.com/vs_forum/topic/159506-tuners-rejoice-free-tuning-for-m44/page-24#entry2241826) along with the ADX and XDF.  Rev2 of the ADX will fix the correction for LTFT idle, Rev2 binaries will add logging of the knock detect flagbit.  Those will be up shortly.

Have you used it?  Haven't got much feedback on how it works for others, but of course there's not exactly a significant crowd of folks poking around with M4.4...

Hi all,

It's worth pointing out that Robert Arnold from ARD dredges this forum, among others, gleaming information for his tuning business whilst purporting to be someone else.

"ohhello" is one of his names, there are more.

Map locations for Stage 1 and 2 he will know already tbh, just thought you might like to be aware.

Well, amongst many others^^

If I had more time I would gladly help you find maps and dive into the Volvo scene myself.

This may have been covered, but is Vida sufficient for logging Volvo? Can you log any desired RAM location?


Title: Re: Damos file for Volvo ME7, anyone?
Post by: krazydbiker on June 28, 2013, 04:07:01 AM
negative, vida is extremely limited which is frustrating to me

things useful you can view, not log is air fuel ratio, rpm, tps, ignition timing for cylinder 1, and fuel trims, you can graph everything at about 20-30 times per second which is fast, but you cannot save logs? i don't know why they would do such a thing with dealer specific software.

but a while ago i did find volvo DHA floating around on the internet which does work for logging ram locations, there is a huge preset list, and it also looks like you can add your own if you know the address, if you would like a copy ill send you a link, i just don't know about posting the software because it is definitely volvo engineering software.


also mercuric, i have not gotten to test your datalogging yet, but my father in law has a stick volvo t5 wagon with 4.4 i will be tuning soon, viewing knock on those motors would be excellent!, thank you for your time and effort.

I have an A2L/Damos file for Volvo ME7 but it only matches up for the earlier ME7.0 bins unfortunately...

Did the bins change significantly, IE went from 512kb to 1024kb flash chips or to a completely new code base?

If the actual code routines didn't change much, one can sometimes disassemble the old and new bins, find the routine that uses the known address in the old bin (which you have the DAMOS for), then find the same routine in the new bin.. and then you have the new address for the map/scalar in question.

This, of course, requires that the program logic between the two binaries is similar enough that you can find the routines in both -- which is often the case.  It does take a little effort, but sometimes it's the only thing that works, especially for single-byte things like codewords, etc.  Maps are easier because they tend to have a signature -- a map size, a visualization of values that is obviously different and unique to a boost map, fuel map, etc..

Yeah they changed from 512 to 1024kb.  There are a lot of maps that match once found they're just jumbled up a lot.   I one have the assembly kills unfortunately but that makes a lot of sense thanks.

I think there may be more than this.  There are US versions as well.  For example the latest flash for the S60R 04 in the US is dated 2007 (iirc) and the latest in EU 2005.

If you look at the two bins there are a totally different layout and reference a different A2L file, which makes sense.

My MTE map actually has parts from the US file incorporated in-to it, I suspect they liked the updates or possibly just have one flash for both markets.

Any chance you could elaborate upon this a little more for those of us dumb founded by all this ME7 stuff!

I would like to learn about this, but am in fear of rendering my friends ecu a house brick. Is the immo code contained in the same eeprom as the main flash? If so, is it as simple as flashing a copy of his map onto one of the spare ecu's I have here and trying it in? If it works I can then tinker with the spare ecu, keeping his original one safe as back up.

Or is that asking too much for it to be that simple!

I'll post up his map for comparison once I get it. Not sure if the police spec ones were tweaked at all, so will be interesting to see.

As regards the multi axis LDRXN, a friend that is into Motronic tells me that in the ME7.6 stuff there is a LDRXN type of map that compensates for intake temperatures. Could this perhaps be anything to do with it?

Sure,

The immo code is on a separate chip, 95080 in my case, I simply lifted this chip, copied it, and burned it to a new chip.  I installed the new chip into a scrap 2005 auto ECU, flashed my map and it starts fine.

This guide was my reference to the ECU pinouts, etc.  http://trionic.mobixs.eu/Motronic/ME7/Volvo%20Motronic%20ME7.pdf

The immo code is on a separate chip, 95080 in my case, I simply lifted this chip, copied it, and burned it to a new chip.  I installed the new chip into a scrap 2005 auto ECU, flashed my map and it starts fine.

This guide was my reference to the ECU pinouts, etc.  http://trionic.mobixs.eu/Motronic/ME7/Volvo%20Motronic%20ME7.pdf

The plod cars are not modified performance-wise.




Your boost map LDRXN, or whatever starts at 27CE0 6x16

You legend!

Apologies, not looked on here in a few days, but cheers for that!

I have just managed to pull the stock file off of my mates '05.5 V70 T5.

Comparing it to your standard file is very interesting, shows where Volvo made tweeks from the lowly normal T5 to the R, everything else seeming to be the same.

Having a look through now, feel free to do the same!

No problem at all!

It most certainly is a manual yes, it's a 6-speed. Didn't take you long to figure out!

Possibly a daft question, as I'm not sure the hardware is the same between yours and his car yet, but would your file work in his as a factory tuned "stage 1" do you think?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on July 08, 2013, 12:48:55 PM
Yes, open the file in a hex editor and search for the string "a2l" this will tell you things quick!

The S60R has 100cc more displacement, I often wonder if the map would work.

It also has another intercooler, a poor one though.  Apart from that and blue injectors I think it's the same.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: mark_r33 on July 08, 2013, 01:18:29 PM
I was all game for just trying it until you mentioned injectors  :(

Any chance of any help with the definitions if you have a few for this later type file already?

Might try looking for the bigger injectors too then, I'll see what colour his are, that is nice to know! The only thing done to his over standard is that I removed his AirCon rad, as he damaged it, and spaced his standard intercooler forward about an inch, into the newly found area. The standard unit is the full size of the radiator, and seems to work quite well.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on July 08, 2013, 01:23:58 PM
I can try, my theory is that KRKTE isn't touched between files and the injectors are mapped on the fuelling map FKKVS.

I COULD BE TOTALLY OFF THERE.

Greens in R blues in T5 I think.

05> T5's definitely have blue and R engine minus 100cc.  They're a very capable tuning platform.  A number of S60R's that I know have the T5 block instead of the weaker R one.  Well, unless they've had their liners shimmed :)

Blues are 395cc and Greens 435cc IIRC.

Both engines have variable fuel pressure up-to 7 or 8 bar. so nozzles don't really matter, well the blues are good for 350BHP on the 05> T5 anyway.  That's what you generally see on those engine with a good map and FMIC.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: mark_r33 on July 09, 2013, 07:02:28 AM
I can positively confirm that it has blue injectors.

350 hp with just an intercooler, that's rediculous! I don't think this lad needs it turning up that far though, his driving is already scary enough!

I shall post the binary in the other section when I get back to my desktop, apologies for littering them everywhere! Is the software number the code that WinOls displays at the top of the hex window?

I get 359462 for my file, too.

Not sure about the hardware number though? The Bosch part number on the outside of the case is; 0261208289

This whole Injector thing has got me puddled now. Why would they tune for the different sized injectors through FKKVS? Surely you would adjust KRKTE first? May not be too bad of a thing though, I wonder if I could simply re use his old FKKVS in the S60R file?

What is it that blows your mind about this file in particular krazydbiker? The file comes from a manual ex-British-police issue 2005.5 V70 2.4 T5. When I was comparing the file with the S60R one posted by dream3R I kept noticing that a lot of the different maps were very flat, whereas the R's maps were more "normal" looking, if that makes sense? Almost as though originally it had a similar file to the R's, but had been turned down? I remember hearing one of these V70's in pursuit when I was younger, the thing sounded like a jet engine the turbo was running that hard! This one is almost silent. I wonder if the Police have them "de-mapped" once they are done with them, possibly so they stand a chance of catching people!

Possibly irrelevant, but when it is flat out (on the private runway we use for tinkering) it won't go much over 140mph. I don't know what they are meant to do, but it seems like it should be capable of more due to the revs not being too high? I can't remember the exact revs it does that at, but it isn't buzzing at the redline by a long shot. Maybe they are just really long geared in 6th? And maybe it looks worse as the speedo is a police issue properly calibrated one, so reads less than a normal one. Just thought I'd mention it!

I need my mate to open his wallet and buy a new AFM now, as his keeps throwing codes. Then I can get the LM-2 rigged up and have a tinker with it, see what the old girl can do!

thats what blows my mind i guess, i did not know that this was an ex police car, maybe that makes sense, basically there is very little that needs to be done to that map to make it a lot more powerful, i have not checked max speed for that vehicle, i can when i get home later, but most of the volvo's are 155, depends on what tires that car comes with i think

as far as KRKTE, more testing needs to be done to ensure we have the right location, i need more time!, i would have thought krkte would be changed, but in the two possible locations, they are the same for your map, but fkkvs is way different

LDRXN is set very very mild in that map, but KFMIRL, and KFMIOP axis, and KFLDHBN, all support up to about 20 psi, which is just odd considering how low LDRXN is

As mentioned previously in this thread...

Keep in mind that Volvo (for some strange reason) sets the same HW and SW identifier in basically all their files regardless what the files actually are. Regardless what the file is, they most often state HW 0261204559 and SW 359462 in the files which can be very confusing.

Tricky indeed...  :)

That sounds very promising, I may stick with his original file and work from there. Thank you for the information krazydbiker.

I have found a couple of 6 x 16 maps, which is what I believe LDRXN to be, but neither looks anything like a boost profile. Is there any chance of an address for what you have found?

I'm sorry but the police car mapped thing is a myth lads, plain and simple.

I know someone who works for them, prepping cars and the such and have also owned and been in loads and they have the same maps that the non plod ones do.

When the T5' went facelift they basically took the R engine as mentioned, it's obvious that they just detuned the R file to 260BHP and adjusted the fuelling for the injectors.

Where are the maps you are looking at mark and I'll take a look?  Where in the UK are you BTW?

Have a look at adress "27EE2" (6 columns, 16 rows). I don't have WinOLS in front of me, just looking in a HEX-editor so I might be mistaken but it looks like what you are looking for (if you are working on the file called "Wills Original File").

Both "yes" and "no". :)
In Sweden Volvo sell "tuning kits" under a different brand (Polestar Performance) and these tuing kits (developed by Volvo though) are street legal and many police vehicles are equipped with these tuning kits. They are easy to spot as the license plates on the police vehicles are not hidden, and the Swedish Transport Agency keep the records for all vehicles (including police cars) open, so just type in the license plate number and they will tell you if the car has stock power or if it is tuned so... There are actually tuned police vehicles out there, at least in Sweden since a couple of years back.

The Volvo's I've tuned (from a top speed perspective) have played some tricks on me. Speed limiter is 8 bit unsigned, i.e. FF equals 255 which corresponds to 255 km/h. For some strange reason, FF does limit the car (or at least in my cases) to just 255 km/h instead of "removing" the top speed limiter as such. I have not yet found any way aorund this, but setting all speed limiters (there are a few different ones in each file) makes the car stop accelerating at these speeds although I'm no way near rpm limiter and there is still a lot of power left in the engine.

The M66 box in these is geared for 160+, somethings wrong at 140, I'd fix that before tuning.  They do need a few mile at those speeds lol.

Also these KKK turbos are running like .7 bar stock and can run up-to 1.4 bar without too much fuss.  The older cars used the smaller 16T or 15G.

Many thanks Fredrik! I think you are right, as when I compare it to dream3R's file his is a similar profile but moved up, a lot!

Fair enough on the non tuned plod cars, it was just the memory of the pursuit car going down the dual carriage way that made me think my friends one had been de-tuned. His is silent, but the pursuit car sounded awesome, as though it was running twice his boost!

I shall check it out regarding the top speed thing, it seems strange as it runs well upto that, then just slows right down around 140 - 145. Other than its recent MAF error it hasn't complained of a thing, and has always been well looked after. I shall have a check over it though, thanks for the info.

hmm, indeed 27EE2 is what i got also for LDRXN, but as far as the speed limiter, im going to have a look at that right now, why would this computer be limited to such a value.

My memory might play tricks on me, or perhaps I have this mixed up with the older ME7 in Volvo... I'm not at home so I have no files available to look in, but I might remember incorrectly. Never the less, pushing beyond 255 km/h has been difficult for some reason...

not sure, how did you end up finding it, the location that im finding has a value of 6a40, which seems odd to me to begin with, i dont have to worry about bricking the computer, so i suppose i could put a low number and see what happens if we really need it lol, a crude way of finding the right one, but lets see, in the audi files vmax is more then one bit also its 5 16bit values

crude testing i guess will have to be done, im at a loss at the moment as to its location, i have a feeling volvo uses them different then other companies, i think there are 3 level's for vmax, and depending on which one the car is configured to it points to that one, atleast that how the older me7 is set up, volvo hasnt changed how they worked on later years much, this is like trying to find NLLM for my map

I did remember wrong (mixed up all ECU types). In the older ME7's for Volvo, there are three limiters, VMAXCEMH, VMAXCEML, VMAXCEMM, all with factor 0.007813 as stated previously.

Did you get anywhere with your testing?

Post by: mark_r33 on July 17, 2013, 09:44:29 AM
Yeah, you're probably right. If you were tuning for a living on all manner of crazy builds it would probably be worth the effort, otherwise it's not that bad iteratively flash - log - guess - flash - logging I suppose!

It just makes you cry a bit when you see some of the standalone stuff. A friend and I have fitted a DTA S80 to his project car, and that comes with a remote "tuning box" that allows you to vary the ignition angle, fueling, cam timing, boost PWM etc all via two control knobs in real time!

I remember reading about the McMess protocol that Bosch uses, that sounded like a similar thing, if you had the tool for it  :'(

Hello all!

Managed to have a little play with the Volvo today. I took the original map I posted before, and simply copied in the LDRXN values from Dream3R's S60R file.

Datalogging with an Innovate LM-2, watching AFR's on the factory WBO2 through the OBD2 port, and watching the boost through a little MAP sensor adapter I've made for the LM-2's analogue inputs.

Before the file swap we were seeing ~3 volts, which works to about .9bar (1.6ish volts at ambient), and now we are seeing around 3.2 volts, so about 1 bar now.

Fueling looks spot on, but the Charge temps are a bit high for my liking, they were hitting 49* before the file swap which concerned me a bit, and are getting to 52* now. Is this how these things normally run? I have always considered 50* to be the beginning of a charge temp "red zone" with petrol, and 60* an upper limit. There was no ignition intervention that I could see on the log, so no DET according to the ECU? And it did richen it up slightly as the temps went up.

All seems well, it drove spot on. The lad even reckoned it felt smoother, but that is either placebo, or perhaps the fuel trims being reset by the flash, to my mind.

Cheers for all the help lads, now I know this method works I'll probably have a bit more of a play. I think a bigger intercooler is the first port of call though!

correct if you copied over the R spec LDRXN it will boost to 1 bar.., but thats probably it, KFMIRL, and KFLDHBN is lowered on those files i think.
the intake temps on these cars are HORRIBLE...all of them, on the STOCK tune, doing a 4th gear pull to 120 on the highway i would see about 145F in an 85F ambient temp day


what kind of fueling in lambda are you seeing? i would say touch it up, but if i'm not mistaken the stock maps run pig rich when any additional boost is added.

also the stock ignition tables will put you down in the single digits for ignition timing if your on the stock map, anything over stock these cars are all about safety
have you ID'd some of the major maps yet? ill help you out with the ignition and fueling
finally another volvo guy on here :-D

Vad,
Thanks for posting your T6 original.  I've been doing some MAF-related research, I've been curious about the T6 MAF, and I did find MLHFM in this binary -- Table MLHFM (Linearization of MAF voltage) is at 14AB6, 512x1 of 16bit LoHi's with conversion factor (X*0.1)-200 = MAF KG/H and axis being MAF voltage in 0.0098v steps; no different than MLHFM in other Bosch-MAF ME7 binaries.

I think I was a little over excited that I didn't fry his ECU the other day, and posted a bit prematurely!

You are entirely right about both the fueling and the timing.

Looking at a new log we took of an extended pull up hill, I can see that it starts lean low down (~.88 lambda whilst running near a bar of boost!), then suddenly flips to rich higher up (~.73 lambda), around about 5000  RPM. I believe this is it transitioning from the pedal requested lambda map to the EGT protection one as it exceeds the TABGAS value? I guess I need to richen up the request map for high throttle angles, and lean off the EGT one a little? I wouldn't dream of running it that lean low down with a bar, however upon reviewing the log of the car as it was originally, it did exactly the same before!

Timing does just as you said too, sits at a flat 10 degrees throughout the pull. When I look at what I believe to be the timing map (12AA2 11x16?) it does look to be a pretty flat timing map anyway, looks like a lot of work to reprofile it, especially when I have no conversions for the numbers!

What sort of timing do you run at WOT? I can see that the S60R file has a little less timing in the low to mid range, but then has more up top. How much exactly, I am unsure of.

I could live with the timing, but the low down lean-ness wants addressing. Any help with table locations, conversions, or anything really would be very much appreciated. I have only a few things labelled, (probably incorrectly too!) these are;

KFZW - 12AA2 11x16 (More ignition maps directly after this in the HEX, I am unsure which one is which though?)
KFMIRL - 158A4 16x16
LDRXN - 27EE2 6x16
KFPED? - 1734E 12x16
KFLRST? - 15FF4 8x7
KLAF? - 1676A 500x1
KFMLDMN? - 166A8 6x16
KFMSNWDK? - 16C22 6x16

I have managed to find these so far by modifying the tables labelled in "Motronic suite" and finding the changes in WinOLS. Then I compare the "shape" of the 3D map to my friends fully defined file! Very scientific I know  :D

Thanks for all the help so far guys, it is very much appreciated!

i must be blind, i'm not seeing your file in previous posts, so i cannot have a look at it, but before i was running meth with my horrid intake temps, i was running about a 11.0 - 11.3 AFR, i did use LAMFA to enrich, but not as much at the BTS map, as far as ignition timing, at 19 psi, i was able to see 13-14 degrees of timing before i would get knock, and that's on 93 octane fuel mid summer days
and yes, the stock map LAMFA is totally set to 1.0 lambda before it switches to BTS, the stock maps are good for stock, that's about it.

The stock lamfa table targets lambda 1.

Yes I'd agree it's switching to bts protection mode.

What are you logging it with?  As above the intake temps are nuts on these above a bar of boost.  Consider an intercooler, I wish I'd done mine sooner!

18 degrees C ambient, 0-145 pull and the highest intake temp was 32 degrees C.  It would have been double that with the stock setup.

Post by: mark_r33 on August 26, 2013, 06:40:01 AM
Unfortunately I have left the office and am posting from my phone now, otherwise I'd have attached both the original and this revised ldrxn file. With hind sight I should have done that anyway!

I have uploaded it previously though if you are interested enough to search for it, it is somewhere around page 5 of this thread IIRC, and is also in the standard files section on this forum, listed as an ex police v70 file. I shall post it here again when back in the office though, so don't worry if you can't find it.

It sounds like I really need to find the LAMFA table then, richen up the WOT rows a bit.

The 13-14* ignition at 19psi, was that without the meth and on a standard cooler? What sort of IAT's did you see with that?

I am using an Innovate lm-2 to log, it plugs into the obd2 and also reads analogue voltages. I have a little connector I made for reading the standard map sensor voltages as I cannot find boost in the obd2 data stream. Works pretty well!

Charge temps are mad, I agree! Never seen them this high standard. They went up by about 2-3*c with the extra bit of boost. I have mentioned an intercooler and he is interested now he knows we can tinker with the ecu. Seems mad as the standard item isn't particularly small.

Another little observation from the log; With the original ldrxn I saw a peak aiflow of 220g/s at 6000rpm, with the s60r one I saw 240g/s in the same place.

lol, this was all before meth, i was seeing very high intake temps, but i tend to just do short pulls with my car, it would max out around 140-145 F

i dont think i would track drive, or drag race like that before, on meth though even after a long 4th gear pull, i only see a max of 130, and no timing pull at all, even with increased timing and higher lambda

In my experience, stock intercooler isn't working that well actually (as you have noticed yourselves). There are a few upgrade drop in replacement versions available for reasonable money (i.e. China stuff, but they do work better than stock) and here (Sweden) they cost about $300US (without temperature sensor fitting) and about $60US more with the sensor fitting for the R-models for instance.

They are not too bad actually. :-)

Also, don't just stare at the temperature after the intercooler. During calibration also measure temperarture before the intercooler (after the compressor). As soon as the temperature is leaving a linear behaviour vs boost increase (temperature starting to increase exponentially with boost) you have hit the choke area of the compressor and it's time to think about a larger compressor. :-)

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on August 27, 2013, 05:21:05 AM
Interesting, how do you measure that variable?


Easy. Just go get yourself a temperature logger with a Type K sensor (it's just a millimeter in diamater with a wire) and loosen the hose slightly to the intercooler inlet, slide the sensor right in and tighten the clamp again.
It will cost you about $50US for a two channel version and that way you can keep track of temperature after IC as well at the same time.

Indeed, but a good tool for understanding when the compressor side of the turbo is working beyond its limit basically. The same tool (using a different sensor) can be used for EGT for instance. It's a setup I use a t least.

Haha, I wasn't being funny, I was applaud you.  Sometimes I cannot see the wood for the trees as we say...

 :D

Also, I have another piece of advice (from "learning by doing"  ;D ) and that is...

Please, monitor your oil temperature when passing 400 bhp's. That can also be done using the same logger basically if you want to. Just get yourself a new oil pan plug, drill a hole in it, make threads and fit a temperature sensor in it as well. My oil temperature increased beyond healthy limits when pushing more than 370 bhp's so I was forced to fit an additional oil cooler to get it back on track...

Good luck with the project!

Wow,  that's good.

You should checkout the one in the UK made by Tim Williams,  it uses a RS500 core and is normally only a few degrees over ambient with the K24.  It's about £800, so  is expensive when you compare with KL but it's a true fmic and is also a direct fit with no extra pipe or joins.

I'd find it hard to-go back to FWD again...

I was at a local tuning place a few months back getting my car RR'd (330BHP + 535NM) and there was a tuned Focus RS there, it put out only 320BHP!  Anyway, he booted it out of the car park in a cloud of wheel spin etc, reminded me on how much I didn't miss that in my AWD.

Top tip!  If you have a P2 Volvo R and want to experience FWD pull the haldex fuse in the boot, it disables AWD as well as traction control and ABS, makes for an interesting drive!!

I am struggling with finding this LAMFA map, but think I may have something. Is it located at 19B06 and is 11 x 6 in size?

The next thing I'll struggle with is the axis. I was kind of planning on just bumping the bottom 2-3 rows richer and seeing what happens, as I'm probably not going to know the real axis values without a Damos file am I? Sound like a plan to you?

EDIT - Nope, that's even more retarded!  :D

EDIT 2 - Success I think! 2383E and 15 x 6, Factor to read in AFR is .114851, x axis RPM is at 23822 with factor 40 8-bit, y axis PED % is at 23830 factor .003052 16 bit.

Cool thing with the Volvos is that for instance the S60 T5 is quite easy to reach beyond 300 bhp
just by changing exhaust system and a quick reprogramming of the ECU. Anyone familiar with ME7 in general
can fix this.

In comparison, 300 bhp is more of a struggle with the VAG 1.8T to say the least, so the Volvo gives
quite a decent level of "good bang for the buck" I'd say.

Sure thing, but tuning the Volvo is about one hour and 15 minutes to fit the exhaust and about 15 minutes to modify the software (once you have done like 20 of them earlier... :D ).
Tuning the Honda fitting a turbo and geting it to run properly takes more than an hour and a half I guess...?  ;D

Only wins because they're so light. For example, a 95-2000 (6th gen) civic is about 2300lb curb weight, stock, before the ricer deletes the AC and everything else they can to save a few pounds.  The S60R AWD curb weight is around 3600lb!

Post by: krazydbiker on September 09, 2013, 04:25:46 PM
I have used either or, but MPPS seems to be more reliable IMO, just make sure you get a good one, the ones from china right now are junk.

and oh how i wish e85 was around here, i went the other route with meth injection instead.

here in Brasil we have E100 since 70´s; believe me, the really good thing is power, for handling (start below 15°C, wanr-up, tip-in, etc) gasoline is much better  :D

Ok thanks, think im gonna try the galletto at first.
 Yeah I've cheap converted a 850 to e85 before and winter time was rough. Hopefully I'll be able to resolve coldstart issues by mapping for e85 instead of just raising fuel pressure.

no clue on cold start issues, i had read through a few pages a while ago about something with multiple spark and me7, but good luck trying to define those maps if they are included in our ecu's

also as far as galletto or mpps, make a good bench flasher
also with galletto, you may have to select something like audi, or something with the chip you have in bootmode, it will work, MPPS has an option called bosch generic, then it lists 512, or 1mb flash.

i cant say this is quality, but it works!

Multiple sparks is something I have not yet tried although I'm running E85 in one of my cars.
Basically in the wintertime with temperatures dropping below zero degrees you notice a real difference
compared to petrol and the enrichement required is quite substantial.
For coldstarts below -5°C I use an electrical engine heater and if the temperature falls below
-10°C for a longer period of time I run the car on petrol instead.

Work is progressing on my Volvo ME7 logging tool.  I thought this may be of inteest to you guys.

Currently it supports only MY05> and is very much a WIP but it DOES work and my alpha code can log 20 variables in 500ms or so.  Not too bad for a CANBUS system that supports only four continuous data requests at full speed.

Awesome work bud, I wouldn't know where to start making something like that!

So can you flash without having to f*** about with bootmode?

Some interesting sounding tabs along the top there, what else is lurking in them?

Planning on releasing? I could certainly test this on my mates car if feedback would be of any help?

Thanks, yes this is my dev version, something I'm putting together for my 20G turbo tune.  There wasn't a logger of good enough data/quality that I could find so I am currently in the process of making one!

The first two tabs work at the minute but I am still ironing out bugs and may well rewrite the Windows front end in C++ instead of the VB, I hate VB but the development life-cycle is quick!

Yes it will be released, the logger part anyway, this will be my gift to the Volvo scene.  The rest may or may not get finished to be honest.  I've got all of the OBD2 flashing and diagnostic tools for Volvo anyway.

I can display this data on the DIM (Clock computer) as well which is a nice touch.

The output I plan to use NYET's graphing tool on here to help me tune the nuts off my car when the time is right :)

Oh, I fixed the IAT typo :D

Yes you can test it when it's at that stage, probably 2 months or so, depending on my day jobs and kids.  PM me your details.

The comfort stuff, I have in my car at the minute using a micro-controller and my own firmware to fold the mirrors etc, when locking the car.  It also displays a boost gauge on the dashboard and works really well.  This was done on a slower single CAN controller though, I am in the process of a port/rewrite to use the faster dual CAN hardware, and to merge all of the code together in-to one tool.

Here the boost gauge, early code but works well... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzcFesqruWk

I'll be honest and say that dash stuff may well become commercial, depending on interest, there has been quite a bit state side anyway.  At the minute it's only in my car, no-where else.

For the other tabs I made them when brainstorming, flashing I won't develop that, car-config will be a dissection of the CEM carconfig memory to view, much like VIDA does, DTC's I might just have a 'clear all' button there to help during my mapping, doubt It'd be worth doing much more.

Those are some amazing computery skills you have there buddy!

I love the bar graph on your boost gauge, and how it flips round when into vacuum. What else can you display, and can you cycle through using the control button on the indicator stalk?

Understood on the Volvo tools, I wish I could warrant them for just tinkering with a car that isn't mine for a non-paying friend. I'll just have to stick to the "old fashioned" feeling way!

How long have you spent working on it?

I wish you the best of luck with any venture with this  :)

P.S. I didn't spot the typo!

P.P.S Could the "select" button possibly be renamed "record", or is that not all that it does?

Will do thanks, you helped a lot already by pointing me to your source code, the function that 'case's the log file was golden.  I'll just copy one of the input files it's looking for and it will be great.

Is there any cmd line options to launch the tool, or aanyway I could potentially automate the launch and axis of a few key graphs that I may see fit?

Yes, the plan is to expand once the P2 ME7 stuff is done.  The problem is there's at least 4x different setups in P80/P2 ME7.  I'll need to get hold of an ME9 ECU and ECU box/harness as well.  A C30 setup would be ideal, or ME9 S40.

I've been away and completely rewritten the GUI in C#, VB.net wasn't agreeing with my brain, I like ANSI C type syntax.

Sorry forgot to reply to this...

It's been re-written so the GUI has changed somewhat, I'll post an updated screen soon.

I've been working on CAN-BUS code for about 9 months now, this particular version about a month on-and aff in my spare time.  Development was accelerated by a good CAN library, some bitshifting help and my previous code being easily portable to the PIC device I'm using.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, I'll keep this thread up-to date, the troops on my home ovlov forum think I'm talking some kind of sorcery!

Nyet/Anyone else.   I have a puzzle in decoding some CAN frames for my logger.  I think the values are hidden in specific bits in the returning bytes then multiplied in-to engineering units (m=y+b stuff).  I tried to decipherer  a few times a couple of weeks back then dropped it to code the windows stuff hoping to return and 'crack' it.

If I post the CAN data and thoughts would this be something that anyone could help with?  I'd need to turn it in-to a bitshifting ANSI C algo to come to an answer in engineering units...

Cheers!!

yea.

usage: ECUxPlot [-p Preset] [-o OutputFile] [-w width] [-h height] [LogFiles ...   ]
       ECUxPlot -l (list presets)
       ECUxPlot -? (show usage)

-p will load a preset, -o will write the result to a .png

Post by: dream3R on September 26, 2013, 12:15:10 AM
I just need to play with an ECU on the bench for the logger, no need to open it.

Here's one of the values that's foxing me:

UB : battery voltage V

(http://i716.photobucket.com/albums/ww161/jpcurrie/ubat.png)

Response data, 8 bytes:

CD,7A,E6,10,0A,48,00,00

The offset mentioned is from the right so 0x48 is the data.  Voltage should be 11.7->12 volts in this response.

Any ideas?  Looking at my code my last try was (completely wrong)

Code:
result = (unsigned int)(msg->data[5] >> 4) * 0.0704; //?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: nyet on September 26, 2013, 12:45:59 AM
Any chance you can get more samples, with different voltage values?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: nyet on September 26, 2013, 12:51:51 AM
in ME7.1 on audis, voltage is generally 1 byte, where 12V is 171 or 0xAB (scaling is 0.0704), like you said.

No clue why you are taking the top four bits. I'd use all 8 bits:

result = (msg->data[5]) * 0.0704

but hey, that would mean 0x48 is what, 5v?

Yes my first answer was 5V, the other values that I have figured out were all the same as you said.  I'm confused.

The bitshifting I posted was a vain attempt in getting values no real thinking about it...

I checked and there is no change in the debug log I have here but then again it was plugged in-to a PSU on the bench.  I think it best to take another set of logs and recheck my notes on the RAM locations of ubat before wasting anymore of your time :D

for example, youll find this:

i could probably find you a file that would "work" but i recommend going to the nearest volvo dealer and getting the correct flash put back on.

first off, automatic, stick?

nvm, found it in your file
 P2X B52X4XT ME 7.0.1 4XLL
sw:30641522A P2X 0310 B5254T2 25LT MAN FWD EU BLDC  

my S60R file will probably start your vehicle, and run horrible, how far are you from the dealer?

Hi krazydbiker,

it has manual gears not automatic.
I tried really a lot of files (all aof this thread) and your s60r is working engine is starting but horrible idle because of smaller injectors.
Im from germany, next volvo is 10km far from me. But do they suppy you with the right flash? I think they want to sell the complete ecu?

Thank you krazydbiker ;)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

I don't have exact one but if you tell me what injectors this car has I can give you one that might start and get you to the dealer without burning a piston on the way..

I'm off out so will post something tomorrow.

The injector colour is normally the giveaway, I'm guessing blue...

Test run for my logger today, test graph using NYET's tool but you can see it's a brilliant bit of software...

Thanks guys.

What year?  Here's a 2005 petrol one, ME7, Facelift (2005>). P2X B5254LT 25LT MAN FWD/AWD EU and also a pre-facelift 2004 file sw:31211196AB P28 ДT03 N3T B6294T AUT AWD EU

MPPS will read/write both ECU's out of the car.  CAN-BUS software/hardware is required to write in car there's no kwp wired to the ecu at all.   Reading the full 1024kb file is impossible in car AFAIK, you can read the file minus the 8000 rom area using byte by byte checksum commands but that's not a good option.

As for failing if it's AWD the angle gear is a major weak point, it's a part of the Haldex setup and some of them are made of lego from the factory.

MY2004, 2.5T auto. AWD of course.

It's fairly clean, runs very well. Interested in coding out catalyst monitoring (tips/tricks?) and setting it up with a mild tune.

I'll pull the ecu (if necessary) and read it tomorrow. Will surely post it here as well (North American file).

Which of the files you posted is a closer match? I just want to peek around before I have a chance to read the ecu.

Next to find a decent OLS for comparison sake.

Thanks guys, will surely post everything I do here, including my definition file.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on September 30, 2013, 11:36:34 PM
The second file will be the right year, pre-facelift.

The maps wont be in the same place though.  LDRXN doesn't exist in these files, it's a 6x16 boost table, can't remember the acronym.

 If you find a defined ols, I be surprised.

CDKAT I'm experimenting in an 04 for a friend now.

Post by: fredrik_a on October 01, 2013, 03:46:02 AM
As said earlier, the AWD system is the weak point. Enginewise I've tuned several of these with TD04HL16T (stock T5 turbo), larger injectors and three inch exhaust with no issues at all (manual 2WD ones though) so there is plenty of room for power increase.

Sadly, I've also tuned an AWD automatic with not so great results... Heavy torque control midrange will solve this but on the other hand, who wants a large Volvo behaving like a Honda 1.6 VTech?

Just to clarify, the year is the same but form what I have noted looking at the US files, they tend to be newer (most are 07 dated?) and the maps a flung around in different spots to the EU files.  EU files have a few different layouts as well, some similar ish offset wise, some totally off the map compared to others.

Work is progressing on my Volvo ME7 logging tool.  I thought this may be of inteest to you guys.

Currently it supports only MY05> and is very much a WIP but it DOES work and my alpha code can log 20 variables in 500ms or so.  Not too bad for a CANBUS system that supports only four continuous data requests at full speed.






I'm starting to think that I'd be better coding this to use J2354 cables than the microcontroller route I had been working on.  After some experimenting with the mentioned pass-thru protocol and it should be able to-do what I need and do it fast, it seems like a very nice API SAE has invented.  The code would all need moved from the microcontroller side to the windows side, but shouldn't be a big deal as C is C mostly when doing calculations.

Anyone got any thoughts?

My primary reason is that a clone J2534 cable can be had for about $20 now.  It would also avoid people having to build a cable and micro-controller setup for the logger as well.  The software as a result will also work with various other diagnostic boxes such as Volvo's DiCE unit, which is also available cloned.  In fact I've just convinced myself typing this,  :P.

hello I need again help :(

After remap the S60 the engine switches off from time to time with the DTCs: 981a and 9070
I attached the EEPROM and remaped flash.
anyone any idea? is it the remap, immo, checksum or an faulty ecu?
again please help me

got a volvo? awesome haha, honestly these bin's match up pretty good to audi's

the readiness should say supported? mine does anyways, i bet its something with the scan tool

cruuz, ill have a look

well, that code from volvo looks like an overboost code, try to get a generic obd code

Post by: cruuz on October 02, 2013, 03:10:42 AM
Thanks krazydbiker,
I will read the dtc's next time also via obd2, maybe they have additional information.
Is there a vehicle specific ID stored in the flash memory (1024KB), something like the immo code in the eeprom (1KB)?

You need to look at the torque monitoring stuff in your map.

I am not sure if the "org" isn't going out aswell. But maybe the mod has left a limiter
like KFMIZUOF at 0x011C02 maybe. What do you think?

have you looked into the XDF's from mercuric? pretty sure he has all of the diagnostic disables defined

http://m44.wikia.com/wiki/ECU_Flashing

for 607-608 files ofcourse, what file number is yours? usually they are within 5-10 bytes of the 607-608 location anyways, pretty basic :-\

and make sure if you change something at say like F000 you must change its mirrored copy at 1F000

seems like they ran out of space so this was the fix to put a larger chip on.

I have the 607 (auto s70). I didn't see anything about the EVAP solenoids, and the code persisted after disabling everything listed. I have a OLS that's pretty much spot on (more than enough for me to define the entire file) but I don't know the names I'm looking for. there are so many that are close.

I flashed org and the car was working perfektfor more than 5 days, the engine wasn't switching off again.
Therefor it must be the mod!

In the mod I also tried to disable torque monitoring by setting KFMIZUOF at 0x011C02 to FF.
But without success :(
please give me more hints :)

Post by: krazydbiker on October 10, 2013, 09:34:51 AM
dude, read the wiki, do not disable the safety's that are probably saving you from engine damage.

specifically, read at how people are modifying KFMIRL, KFMIOP, you need to understand how this computer works first, its not just turning stuff up.

i started learning here also, s4 tuning wiki was a huge help as well as the wiki here showing how the different functions work on this computer.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: astrasteve on October 14, 2013, 01:56:03 AM
Morning all,
Im in East Yorkshire in the uk
I too have a ex-police 2006 Volvo v70 t5, to read the ecu i have installed a boot switch to the ecu casing (just to save opening it all the time)
so all i have to do now is connect the bench lead, power supply, and away i go!
I use mpps set to 1mb generic bosch and it works a treat.
I have had a few files written for me by different pro tuners on different forums (paid for) but ive had issues with surging, so i have the ori file back on at the min.
I will post my ori file for people to use/look at.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 14, 2013, 03:27:36 AM
Do you have a boost gauge?  I would be surprised if you car was hitting 1.8bar when it surges.

It's almost definitely poor tuning, but I'd check your TCV valve and wastegate setup as well.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: astrasteve on October 14, 2013, 03:41:32 AM
It goes into limp too, but logs a lambda fault b2s2 heater circuit, but ite decatted too! could this be the problem?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 14, 2013, 03:45:04 AM
You'll need to turn off CDKAT to get rid of the lambda issues.

Changing the exhaust flow will make the spool characteristics change.  I think the best approach will be to change the boost PID to correctly control boost, but people do it using the TCV duty map as well.

What codes does it throw with the limp mode?  Is it an just overboost code or is there more?



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 14, 2013, 04:04:05 AM
I'm glad to say that the 2005 version of my logger is basically complete, it just needs thoroughly tested.  I'll do that over the next few weeks as I map my car with it.

Be prepared for some silly questions..!

Anyway, I have someone to test the P2 2004 cars so I need someone to test the P80 (old shape, but drive by wire ME7 cars) models as I don't have one.

The code isn't done for the older models yet but should be trivial hopefully.  The hardware is around 80EUR or so and comprises of a microcontroller and a shield.

Anyway, if anyone wants this on the P80 platform give me a shout, otherwise it won't get done.

I said earlier on this thread that I would be using j2534 and cheaper cables but I just don't have the time at this stage to-do so.

:D


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: astrasteve on October 14, 2013, 04:09:55 AM
It only appears to be a lambda fault at the min, heater circuit b1s2, i know this is probably wiring related or faulty lambda, but is this lambda needed if ive decatted it or is it used for something other that cat monitoring?
thanks steve
is there a damos for my file anywhere or would it be a case of trying to make my own?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 14, 2013, 04:12:59 AM
No there's no Damos I'm aware of.

The car's diagnostics will register a cat efficiency code without a cat and light the MIL.

Not 100% on that code as it looks generic.

Morning all,
When i got in last night i read the codes off and they are as follows
p0036
p2178
so i suppose the question is...can i delete the cause out of the file, im sure its the second lambda and seeing as the exhaust is decatted is seeing a higher value than expected, hence limp mode.
Thanks all steve
ps if i can delete it, which map would it be please and is it case of increasing the values to a figure above what the lambda is seeing?
or is it not that simple
thanks

No idea but the other code is a too rich code.

Fruits of my labour:

I've binned my stage 2 MTE tune and am writing one from scratch for my car, 2005 S60R, Intercooler, Water injection, 3" DP etc.

I created a basic tune, raised load limits, reworking fueling and doing work on the TCV map (these cars have a tendency to spike), stock timing and LDRPID stuff at this stage.

First pull the car was fast but not as fast as it should be:

Fast forward and the third version was flashed and it's felt a lot quicker:

Thats fine mate, im not too far from sheffield, i could maybe meet up when your over,
the friend of a friend mentioned in previous threads is me ive contacted my friend and he has confirmed it lol

With those mods I'd go for more boost easily. With stock hardware I run at about 1.45 bars of boost with no horrible back pressure nor high EGT's.
Put more logs in the fire mate.  ::)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 16, 2013, 06:31:11 AM
Yes I agree!

Did you need to-do much work on the PID side of things to run 1.45?  Can you hold it until 6k?

I'm assuming some work will need to be done on the torque side of things to hold the boost high up.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on October 16, 2013, 11:38:10 AM

Did you need to-do much work on the PID side of things to run 1.45?

I-part needs some adjustments to cope with the fact that requested boost is elevated quite a bit. You need to allow for larger I-part adjustments basically. Other than that it's usually fine.


Can you hold it until 6k?

Yes.



I'm assuming some work will need to be done on the torque side of things to hold the boost high up.


Well, KFMIRL and KFMIOP needs to adjusted (as always) properly for the increased boost levels but other than that I was surprised at first how straight forward it was.

Grand, thanks for the tips. So apart from expanding the axis/limits of iop and irl did you redo the whole thing or leave it like I've seen in all pro Volvo maps?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: krazydbiker on October 16, 2013, 11:56:06 AM
if your going to run 1.45 bar i would recommend fixing that IAT correction map so it doesn't creep over 22, wish my turbo was fresh, she runs like 19-20-21 PSI dependant on IAT............ psi and drops off at about 5500 rpm pretty bad...... pretty happy with the power output though tuned a little on the safer side.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: astrasteve on October 16, 2013, 12:21:21 PM

Here's my latest tune

(http://i716.photobucket.com/albums/ww161/jpcurrie/v3.png)

It drops off at the top end, from my other logs (miopt_w etc) it seems that iop/irl is capping load - would that be correct?  Should I be reworking the whole thing or only the high load areas?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on October 17, 2013, 11:25:29 AM
You guys having issues with holding boost at high revs... If you turn off the boost deviation monitoring function and then disattach the hose to the wastegate actuator, are you still not hitting high boost levels att higher rpm's? I'm just trying to understand if you are having HW issues or if it is something in your SW that is playing tricks on you.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

He was asking if your turbos are capable of making more boost at redline, not suggesting you drive around like that.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 17, 2013, 11:43:18 AM
I see, well I have seen 1.9 bar on my boost gauge with a blown hose before at the readline, no.

I think the K24 should flow enough, don't really know though.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on October 17, 2013, 12:26:24 PM
Hilarious.   I'll not ask you again.

Sorry, you missed my point. I was under the impression that some guys had issues from a hardware point of view when reading this...

...wish my turbo was fresh, she runs like 19-20-21 PSI ...

...and drops off at about 5500 rpm pretty bad...

This implies that there might be hardware issues with the engine type (in general?) so that was what I was trying to understand as I've never seen any restrictions like this personally. No point in modifying the software if the hardware can't cope with it and if someone (not you in this case) basically says that "my turbo is crap, it won't hold boost properly..." then I couldn't give any hints on fixing that purely with software basically.

Sorry about the confusion.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: krazydbiker on October 17, 2013, 12:38:23 PM
i think you took what i said the wrong way.....my turbo has had a pretty good size crack in the wastegate housing, been looking for a replacement housing due to the fact the rest of it seems to be performing perfect, but nobody seems to have a blown k24 with a non cracked housing, so i will probably be going the route of a custom turbo hopefully during this winter along with hopefully a few other things.

i thought software might have been my issue in the past but that had been ruled out, timing stays up/ throttle stays open, turbo TCV duty cycle max's out as the boost drops, after fixing wastegate preload the dropoff is not significant, just a few psi.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

i did not realize that cracked housings in these turbos were so common, along with many other internal wastegate turbo's it is unfortunate.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: cruuz on October 17, 2013, 02:37:04 PM
there is a simple rule of thumb:
If the housing is cracked and this crack influences the loss of power, than you can hear the resulting noise for sure!  ;D

also tested NOLRA, disabled adaptions perfectly, i cant wait for my 5th injector to come in, i received only 4 today :-\

this will be great for a friends car also, he is limited by injector at the moment and i do not think any of the regular's tuners offer different injector calibrations.

i will be posting progress soon, i know its nothing new for the audi/vw guys but volvos i do not see it often.

Hi,

Sorry for being abrupt, I thought you were taking the $$$ :D, hope there isn't any hard feelings.

I think this is either an unknown ME7 thing, or the K24 turbo cannot hold 1.4 bar to the redline. I don't have any hardware issues and it is well looked after.  I thought it may have been torque limiting issues but I raised that all last night as a test and confirmed via logging (it was requesting 61 in miopt_w) and it still tailed off.

No idea if mine is cracked, but they all do so it probably is, it's only got 40k miles on it though.  I've got a hybrid 20g sitting right here, waiting to go on :D

...or the K24 turbo cannot hold 1.4 bar to the redline...

My experience say they can with no real issues.


And of course... No hard feelings from my side.  :)

Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 03:55:54 AM
OK, so hardware aside.  Can you give me some clues which would stop it doing so if the issue was software?

I don't want spoonfed, just some clues...

:D

Measure the airmass. Then we will see if the turbo is out of spec.

Boost is irrelevant, airmass defines the right end of a compressor map.

And no, the K24 in the volvo can not hold 1,4bars until redline with only exhaust mods.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 04:54:11 AM
Good point!

I have that logged.  I assume breathing mods?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 05:00:09 AM
I upped the boost quite a lot last night as a test, this is the log, it's kg/h BTW.

You are already overboosting it...

More via mail when i have time.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 05:24:35 AM
No problem, yes it was just a test to see how it reacted.

I have flashed back to me tune of 1.25bar  which works nice.

;)Right!
First we need to calculate the engine air flow rate (CFM).  The formula for this is:
CFM = (L x RPM x VE x Pr)/5660
Where L = engine capacity in liters
RPM = engine speed
VE = engine volumetric efficiency.  From A. Graham Bell's book Forced Induction Performance Tuning some good values for VE are:
Stock 2-valve = 85%
Stock 4-valve = 90%
Street modified = 93%
Competition = 105%
Pr = pressure ratio
To calculate the pressure ratio you need to know what boost pressure you want to run and then plug that into the following formula:
                                              Pr = (14.7 + Boost)/14.7
At 1.4 bar and red line (~6500 RPM) S60 2.4T5 need  (2.4 x 6500 x 90 x 2.4)/5660=595 CFM . Max K24 CFM is ~ 550.

Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 02:59:52 PM
If this graph is right, and also if I'm reading it right, I'm reaching the choke point of the turbo!

0.2 m3/s = 423.7764 CFM, can't be right surely.

a few others pointed this out to me a while back, and yes indeed we are at the choke.

Not the right map.

Its the one from a 25 year old porsche 4cyl or audi rs2.

Different compressor design today, different numbers also.

Max airflow is a little higher.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on October 18, 2013, 03:07:57 PM
I though it looked a bit off, 500+ CFM would sound better.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on October 20, 2013, 08:40:28 AM
I'll check some old logs I have. 875 mg/stroke @ 5.750 rpms doesn't really ring a bell as being the absolute maximum the turbo can acheive without exponentially providing hot air per boost. I might remember wrong here (as I tend to do so from time to time  ::) ) but I'll have a look at the logs from a car tuned with basically only 3" exhaust, new IC and a new air filter.

So i have gotten hold of a retainer and spare ECM to expermient with before i mess with my own car. I have my first prototype wired, exept the boot mode thingie. Since the clock is 0200 here im too tired to keep searching for information. Am i required to solder or is the P0L4 wired to one of the socket pins?

Edit: Think i got it sorted. Found a pad between the flash and c167 chip thats connected to P0L.4 through roughly 6Kohm. Put that to GND at pwron and that should put it in boot mode right?

Edit 2: Successfully dumped the ecu and compared to others it looks ok. Should be 2002 Man T5. Can post the file if anyone is interested.

first thing i would invest in is one of those ebay DICE, flashing these cars is mostly done through bootmode... i use cheap MPPS, but soon to be changing to something more reliable/expensive probably

invest in the ecu removal tool, don't use a coat hanger like i was the first few times :)

Hello everybody!
I am quite new to this wonderful forum and just started to learn about mapping.
I have a 2002 Volvo S80 2,4T (B5244T3 manual) which I was trying to get the flash from the ecm by using MPPS k-line on a bench. The problem is that I managed to read out a file of 512kb but soon realized that it should be 1024kb. I read the ecm one more time and successfully read the hole 29F800BB eeprom but now my car doesn't start.
I got the following error message on DIM: Service required STC.

Probably the file is corrupt in some way and I was wondering if there is any one having a original or tuned file that would fit my car?
Don't know what's wrong. I can still read and write to the ecu on the bench, but the car wont ignite.
The files i managed to read is here:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kwl3v955q5ckv7c/HmTANKXvHH (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kwl3v955q5ckv7c/HmTANKXvHH)

Would really appreciate if someone could help me out.

Best regards,
Linus from Sweden

Hi,

This does not look good.  The file is all FF after 7FFFF!!

I don't have a complete match, but I do have a file based on the same layout for a HT engine.

I spliced the missing part from the HT file on-to yours and checksummed.

I have not idea if this will work so try at your OWN RISK :D

I am waiting for a new MPPS, mine seems to be a little bit unstable (china clone). I will try your file as soon as the new MPPS arrives.
I don't understand why the file was corrupt. I didn't get any warnings or errors after reading.
When i flash with MPPS, should i go with bosch generic or Volvo S80? Volvo is strangely only 512kb.

Thank you for your help and that you took your time to look at my file.

You can try looking at locations 0x11936 and 0x1193C. You are going to have to test it. 0x11936 should be NMAXGE, but the value is 5500RPM. Similarly, 0x1193C is 5000RPM (if it is RPM). I have no clue what it is but it's in the section with all the limiters and it's the lowest value. (NMAXGE shouldn't matter since it's a manual car.) This file is a little different from what I was expecting to find.

If you have a 2004 or earlier car, you won't be able to log without a combo of a k-line and a can interface. 2005 and up shouldn't be a problem if you have the correct parameters. The way a lot of people do it now is with VIDA and a DiCE. Unfortunately this isn't great for logging data in a tuning-friendly way.

Care to comment, John? ;)

Yes, variables can be logged via canbus.  As Robert said you need to poll the Kline interface on the pre facelift cars for the CEM to open up it's relays.

The easy way is to use vida, but err its not a very nice way to tune.  I've got a working logger custom written for 05s, but it still needs work and it is also using a fairly expensive dual CAN arm setup.  Also I'm currently researching other methods of obtaining what I need in an effort to increase resolution.  I think its possible to get close or beyond the Audi stuff.  The extremely difficult part is getting all of the variables you need as they vary quite a bit.

I've still not got my head around DPPs and IDA as the Volvo memory layout seems to be different to Audi.  So I'm stuck there.

The easy way is to use vida, but err its not a very nice way to tune.  I've got a working logger custom written for 05s, but it still needs work and it is also using a fairly expensive dual CAN arm setup.  Also I'm currently researching other methods of obtaining what I need in an effort to increase resolution.  I think its possible to get close or beyond the Audi stuff.  The extremely difficult part is getting all of the variables you need as they vary quite a bit.

I've still not got my head around DPPs and IDA as the Volvo memory layout seems to be different to Audi.  So I'm stuck there.



You're stuck because you can't share any of the information necessary for any real help.

I believe I've made a little bit of progress in this area. I'm sure you've already gotten this far John, but for anyone else who wants to try, here is what I believe to be true.
Volvo uses a different memory layout from Audi. Instead of the BIN section starting at 0x800000, the BIN begins at 0x0 (so you only need to load the original bin file with starting point of 0x0). Similarly Audi's RAM section begins at 0x380000 while Volvo's RAM section begins at 0x300000 (both Audi and Volvo RAM have size 0x10000).
When disassembling, this means it's no longer necessary to split the file into two parts.

Here's a comparison of the DPPs.
Audi
DPP0 = 0x204
DPP1 = 0x205
DPP2 = 0xE0
DPP3 = 0x3

Volvo
DPP0 = 0x4
DPP1 = 0x5
DPP2 = 0xC0
DPP3 = 0x3

Also, the processor type for the Rs is under C166 > C167CS

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I've just begun working on this again.

That's not correct.  I've shared information with quite a few people who knew a bit about IDA and the C166, but unfortunately thy haven't got anywhere, yet.

The fact is some of my info, map locations mainly, not logging, is under an NDA.

Fwiw, the info given should have been enough to crack it but I struck out.  Try and try again as they say, or maybe do it myself.

Funny this i was dumping RAM last night and came to the same conclusion.  But there seems to also be another section of RAM much lower where I think I found knock retard...

Can't remember offhand and I'm away ATM.  Does that ring any bells?

If you could shoot over your IDA DB, maybe we can get this rolling.

But yeah I could dump stuff from 0x3000-0x4000 too.  There's also some stuff hidden from DHA that I found, different read record stuff but still trying to work out what it is.

Does anyone have a list of me7 ecu requests?  Example is read data by identifier and the like...

I'd be happy to send over my IDA DB. Before I do that though, I want to redo it. I started analyzing with the C167CR variant instead of the C167CS. I got them confused in my head when I did it late at night. haha

Any chance you can log a memory address and see what info is there, when you get a chance? I believe 0x30022F is some kind of ignition angle, but I have no way to test it, right now. As you know, my car is super extra out of commission for a little while longer! lol

This is exciting, I didn't have anything on DPPs just my RAM discovery last night.  I can dump 255 bytes at a time which appears to be a limit with the read memory by address service.

XRAM is faster and contained within the C167. Main code section shouldn't begin until 0x10000 I believe.

I believe it's only one byte. Factor is likely 0.75. I don't have any other RAM variables to log right now, but it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to log the real target ignition angle along with it, for comparison.

I think the only one I have is the output angle zwout?  But yeah I can do that.  I suppose this ram location I have old confirm the dpp3 setting? 

If I'm right about what I found last night I'll have the ram locations for all software versions for about 13 variables, potentially a huge discovery.  It was like 2am though so it all needs tested.

Example:

7a aa 01 specify record offset
7a aa 20 10 5a append record identifier 10 5a
7a aa 21 10 7b append record identifier 10 7b

7a a6 f0 00 01 read dynamic record #1 send record once
7a a6 ef ff 01 read dynamic record #2 send record once

But it's easier to just read the records directly:

7a a6 10 5a 01
7a a6 10 7b 01
or
7a a6 10 60 01 (real ignition angle)

I can verify the DPP settings.  I'm finding most of the functions and maps now.

This is exciting days.  I can foresee custom code not being too far away.

I've found the read data by identifier function in my bin file, it seems Audi don't use this much but Volvo do.  I might not be too difficult to use this function to return any RAM data/add my own identifier.  Maybe mapping the RAM and outputting that would be better though.

One good thing about that service, it's consistent between years so code could be written to output a RAM map for any Volvo bin file ;)  This RAM map could be fed in-to a CAN logging app

Thanks for publishing this guitar24t, I feel like I might lose my whole December now :)

Does anyone know much about PROKONAL bitmasks?  I think I translated that function last night, but the bitmask seems different to VAG.  I assume that they are platform/implementation independent?

Exciting days for Volvo geeks like me :)  And thanks to my obsessive brain I'm getting the hang of ASM quick.

About your other question, ldrxn, read the wiki it will tell you everything you need to know.

First of all careful with your block it's 83mm bore and those are well known for splitting liners.

You'll be able to log basic parameters (realtime only) with VIDA, and no ME7L won't work at all.

With that block it might be an idea to start with a factory S60R kfzw/wop and go from there.  If you look in the original files section you'll find the file from my 2005 S60R.

Thanks. Yeah R parameters should probably be a good baseline. I'm thinking I probably shouldn't boost more than  .7 bars and I think kfldhbn will limit to just that.
I've got the basic hang of adjusting ldrxn. Kfmirl seems to be calibrated up to 166, more than enough. Anything else worth considering?

Not entirely shure but i think its either Mitsu 13C or 13G, ive tried to find out what their differences are. But havent found anything other than .9 - 1 bar seems to be the limit.
Im not aiming for the sky performancewise, its a learning project.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on January 20, 2014, 05:33:02 AM
I had 13g in my mind as I typed my reply.

Good luck :)

My advice is only to make changes to the software that you fully understand, so start small and slowly build your tune up, understanding changes made in each FR function before you change anything.

The wiki gives a great launchpad for the basic changes, then dive in-to the Audi /Alfa FR's which can be found on here for anything not in the wiki that you would like to change.

BTW, the map LDRXN doesn't existing in P2 Volvo files, it's KFLDRX and it has an extra input variable, lamsons_w ;)

If your KFLBTS is all 1.0,then its not KFLBTS.

I thought it was kinda wierd at the moment, but didn't give much thought, might remember it wrong though. I posted my file on page 18 and my system is down atm. Could a kind soul help check it out and verify some maps? I would be very much grateful.

Dream3R I would never think of changing anything unless I'm sure. Learned that the hard way.

Anyone have an idea on the KRKTE location on the 04 KRKTE location?

It's in a few different places in the earlier files,  I think I've spotted it in at least three different.

The only real way without a2ls is disassembly.  You'll need to find KVB as well unless you want your customers to have hybrid gas mileage. :-)

You are correct, we have tried the one location below kflbts and it did not seem to be correct.

You are correct, I posted an 05 S60R file. I did not want to post the actual file as it was modified by someone.

Here is the actual 04 file I have in question. Willing to pay for this KRKTE address if someone can help me.

Yup, that is all you  need, KFLDRX and a little fuel is all you need :-)  No timing or kmiop or PID needed, they just rock and roll when the boost it put through the roof. They guys said, we get an overboost code, can you turn that off for us :-)

Attempting to read off of a spare ECU via Galletto 1260 in boot mode, however I'm running into one specific issue: "boot mode not active".

I have the software and driver installed on a Windows XP machine. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and rebooting numerous times.

The ECU is from a 2001 S80.

I'm curious about the specific setup you have used to get into boot mode with your bench rigs.

I've tried the setup on the bottom in this picture here: http://wiki.obdtuning.com/images/e/e8/AudiPorscheSeatSkodaVAGME7.jpg

Instead of pin 2, A53, a54. Ground
Instead of pin 43, b22. K line
Instead of pin 3, b11. +12VDC
Instead of pin 62, b37 +12VDC switched
Instead of pin 21, b38 ground of engine control relay coil

What I'm thinking I may not be doing correctly would be the 5k resistor on the boot pin, and the immobilizer signal. What I've tried is +12V on pin B45 which is described as "Fuel Pump activation control signal" which is from the CEM.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: ddillenger on March 17, 2014, 10:57:00 PM
I just power it all at once. I've never simulated ignition on any ecu, and I've never used a resistor (save for the CAN ME7.1.1's).

Not yet, but I have started looking for all the part numbers on the fuel injectors, the air mass meter, fuel pump and so on to get an idea where the first bottle neck is. I just squeezed my 2-channel temperature probe before and after the intercooler and that will probably have to be upgraded as well in due time.

It can, it depends on your goals I guess. Boosting 1.7 and over, you will have lean spots around 4k even if you increase fuel pressure on the stock pump. Talking K04 here.

Hi to all,
After reading this thread carefully twice and also S4Wiki, I made a file for my 2004 S60R. It is stock hardware with only upgraded catback.
I have loaded this mod file and there is definitely improvement, although I feel should be smoothed further.

Here is enclosed the .ols project, any advice/clues for improving this stage 1 will be highly appreciated.

Does anyone know the map name / purpose from 1E886 ? I have compared R-file with T5-file and in the R-file is clearly higher, but have no damos for this software version neither for something close.

Thanks in advance

First thing I noticed was LDRXN (or whatever it was called) is stock. Fueling is also stock.

Hi, feedback highly appreciated. In regards to MAF maps, I have seen pro tuned files with the same approach, MLHFM bumped up across the board by some %, I guess is allowing more max fuel values, but I might be wrong here. Also in other tunes (example 1.8T nefmoto sample file for stage 1 E85), I see KFLHFM progressively increased towards the high revs end.
With KFZW maps, I thought to just increase the lowest timing points in mid loads slightly at first, did not want to touch the higher loads/revs to avoid knocking (don't know how much additional timing this engine can take) as by increasing the boost the timing is increased indirectly as well by my understanding or at least the chance for earlier knocking occurrence. Or have I marked the KFZW totally wrong?.
Thanks a lot to everyone for keeping this thread alive and contributing to it

Do not copy anything from other tunes if you do not understand changes!!

You can make small changes and log to find the best timing for your boost, fuelling and other car/setup/location specific variables.

Thanks for the advice.
In regards to MLHFM changes I quoted, I do understand what others did, does not hurt bumping up this especially at higher airflow figures, as for 10 years old car I assure you the MAF is off its original MAX output, and even if it isn't no harm of tricking the ECU to allow 1-2 mg/str additional maximum injected quantity.
Any notes appreciated and taken into account though :)

(...) (..) as for 10 years old car I assure you the MAF is off its original MAX output, and even if it isn't no harm of tricking the ECU to allow 1-2 mg/str additional maximum injected quantity.
IMHO you are wrong. Tuning is not about using aged not working properly sensors and readjusting their linearisations by few percents here and there. If your MAF is faulty buy new genuine one! You should not change any "calibration" maps if they do not reflect hardware changes and as we are talking about Stage 1 tune you should just leave them stock.

MAF is used for fuelling to be exact as requested by the ECU. Having MAF maps off makes just bigger LTFT.

Thanks dream3r,
That was exactly what I thought, since I got the car it never felt smooth enough with the throttle response, and although just started learning petrol ECUs, just by comparing to newer version files found on this thread I could easily say maps there look smoother so should the drive too.
By the way the dash boost gauge you implemented is awesome idea and great work. Have you started doing this for customers, I want one indeed.

Yeah I think it might be the first ever bin for the R but not sure.   They upped the boost a bit of the later files as well. There's a US spec file on here that is 4 years newer than yours ;-)

The DIM Boost gauge is only in my car I started developing a dual can version but development has stalled as I've been too busy to work on it. I'll probably go back to it soon.

Great news, hope it happens soon. If you can implement it for a diesel Volvo, will find you at least 5 customers. I have a diesel '02 S60 as well, could be a test car if needed, and I am willing to spend time and money to help out your project

Diesels are possible, but we'll need to disassemble the files and figure out the logging mechanism and functions in order to gleam the right data.

I think that it's a worthy exercise for sure, pm me your email addy.

Hi guys, i need a big help to fix my car and understand what i must to do, here is the specifications...and pictures / and the description what i do it wrong:P
Volvo XC70 2002
Engine: B5244T3   2.4T   147 kw
Gearbox: MANUAL

ECU: 0261207392 / 08627757 / HS.2
hw: 0261204559  sw: 1037359462
FLASH: AM29F800BB  this 1mb flash if i know good.

MPPS: V12.01  sw: V12.0.0.6

ok, what is happened, i just leave the ECU on the car, and started the app, whan asked, I put the pin 24 to ground, power on, after 5 sec take of the pin 24, then ok... the mpps read out the flash 512kb what i send to tuners, received the tuned file, also 512kb, then without problem i write back the new file into ECU, after this the car won't start...then i write back the origi file and the same shit, the car won't start.
after when i read many forum i see some similar car have the same ECU and part nr. and have 1mb flash file
i have 512kb origi and tuned file, and one similar 1mb
the problem is, i cant write in the 1mb file, when i select and hit the write the app say File Length Error:

so, what i can do now, what is wrong?
interesting, can be only 512kb software in 29f800 flash and the car use only 512kb?
and my 2002 xc70 with this ECU which software must to be 512kb or 1024? i read some elder models have 512kb and newer 1024....
or whan i write in the new file the immo turned on?
Every help welcome!!

It is not newest (as 13.02 is available from far east) but it should be new enough.

I think that you have to desolder flash, reprogram it using external programmer and resolder.

I had two chinese MPPS cables gives me issue, I ended up getting a good FTDI cable and making galetto work when needed .............. either way you can probably get it running with a similar file and goto volvo to get a reload if you cannot find an original


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: technic on June 17, 2014, 05:08:21 AM
If the flash itself is destroyed, then you need to desolder and change. Otherwise you should be able to write via bootmode, even if the flash is empty.

Not generic Volvo driver - just Generic 1M (or 29F800, don't remember how the menus looks like right now)

(Having that said, newest MPPS had problems with ME7 Volvo, and I have reported it to AMT. I had to use another tool to program it)

V70R 2004.
Just shy of 450 bhp on the wheels. (Corresponds to about 500 on the crank shaft I guess)
Running on E85, 875 cc/min Siemens injectors, larger turbo among other things. Decent performance in an ordinary family car I think.

Nice! What turbo you have got there? Do you use E85 daily or do you have another file for pump gas?

I have also ordered larger injectors and thought about going this route. What injectors do you have?

Not my car.
E85 is a standard fuel in Sweden. A couple of years ago E85 was introduced nationally and most gas stations offer it.
The "good" thing is that it costs about 35% less than regular petrol but the consumption isn't increased that much (due to the lower energy content in ethanol) so it's actually cheaper to run the car on E85 than on regular petrol as well. As a bonus, E85 contains oxygen and is very resistant to spontanious self combustion (knocking/pinging) so much power is to be gained using more agressive ignition timing compared to petrol.

Even though it is in Swedish, I'm sure you can pick up some info in the link below:

Nice figures indeed! E85 is da shit. I advanced ignition 12 degrees on my 1.8T after conversion, and you can actually make them go very economical if you lean them out a bit. Just having my fingers crossed that the Swedish government decide to keep the fuel....You never know..

Got my "new" car working, took only 2 months. Replaced all sensors twice and in the end it was only a wrongly set VVT wheel by the previous owner. Now it desperately needs more boost  ;D.

C70 2.0LPT (B5204T4 163hp) MY 2000 manual originally bought in Italy. ECM software attached (got it in boot mode). I have a spare ECM that has cloned immo eeprom for testing. Anyone willing to help me get to Stage 1?

Post by: seppok on July 17, 2014, 09:12:53 AM
Thank you, more boost achieved ;D. How high did you set the boost limit? With factory adjusted wastegate actuator it boosted a little over 0.7 bar and everything worked fine (original software was somewhere under 0.5 bar). Then we tightened the actuator and it went up to 1.1bar but the engine seemed to limit the torque, maybe knocking? Next we loosened the actuator bit by bit but there was still hesitation between 3000 and 4000 rpm when accelerating uphill. Knocking? Maybe ignition and fuel maps should be adjusted to make it work with higher boost.

But oh my god it went fast with 1.1 bar :D. Glad we are still alive.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: technic on July 17, 2014, 11:49:58 AM
Don't mess with the actuator. If you want more boost, tell the ECU to give you more boost and change other maps accordingly. Otherwise you may knock and risk running lean.

I have an 04 S60R.... i trying to read the ECU. im not the original owner of the car. brought it used. But its believed to have an ARD tune on it. Im waiting on a call back from ARD to see if they have a way of telling if it was tuned or not.

Now im currently using Nefmoto Flasher and Ross-Tech vag-com cable (in dumb mode) to try and read ECU. everything connects just fine at the Address 0x11 but i have not be able to successfully read the ECU. A couple things happen....

1. as soon as i begin the read (full read) process, a window pops up saying something about "unknown preconditions not met 4 and 5"
2. then it says "read unsuccessful

So im trying to figure out what the deal is. i've been on here the last couple days trying to find some mention of it before posting asking, but had no luck. Anyone ever have this? Im also wondering if there is a possibility that the ARD tune may be causing the issue??

Post up any thoughts please, thanks.

Had to tighten the actuator a bit to get to 0.9 bar. Works ok except there are some hiccups near 3000 rpm. It happens more often in higher gears. Is there a torque limiter or does the boost rise too quickly or what could it be? I can feel some vibration and maybe hear something and acceleration stops for a split second and then it continues. I think I have felt the same in some other car when traction control kicks in.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

if it is overboosting, it will get that feeling of cutting back, if its severe, it will cut throttle... rumbling? like misfiring?! no, how many miles are on your spark plugs?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on July 31, 2014, 02:50:25 PM
Typically the ignition coils are going bad sooner or later and this will cause the engine to behave like this when combustion pressure reaches its peak. Change them all or go cheap and buy one new coil and switch positions of it until the problems disappear given that there is just one coil that is bad.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: seppok on August 01, 2014, 07:59:57 AM
Ok, so it could be an ignition issue. Spark plugs are new. I replaced also the coils with used ones, resistance was ok on all of them. The coil connector wires look very bad near the plug, maybe I should fix those first. Maybe it was a little worse when it was raining so that could very well be the problem. I could also try to log it in Vida.

Thanks for your help!

The purpose is to be able to boost more than 1.5 bar of turbo pressure, and that is not possible with stock HW and SW.

Well it would have been extremely easy compared to the hell I went though.  Your file matched the A2L exactly iirc, mine did not match it except for a few functions.  Plus you would of had all of the variables needed.

We had some problems with the window regulator so I haven't been able to drive the car but it is now fixed. We changed the coils but the hesitation is still there near 3000 rpm. It has become worse now, maybe because the weather is colder?

It feels/sounds a bit like an abs pump (maybe a little faster) working for a second or so near 3000rpm. Now it does it sometimes with part throttle also. Is it possible to see what is happening in Vida?

Use only Volvo Original Turbo Plugs, all Volvo Engines are most happy with them.

New Volvo plugs installed but no change. I did a couple of pulls and it 2nd gear there's hesitation from ~3000 to 3500 rpm and in 3rd from 2500 to 3500 rpm. After that it works fine. I'm using the bin from msg59474 (http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=340.msg59474#msg59474). Any ideas?

Read some Months, make your own bin.

Or pay someone either to teach you or give you a file.

I guess like it is now, thats all what to expect for free. Sorry.

Well I have a volvo s80 t6 2001 and one from 2000 I think both are ME7 ECUs . Now I want to start with the most basic...that is to read data from the ECU.
I have vagcom cable with ftdi chip and also one galletto clone V54 .
I tried the boot mode whit the galletto but i dont have results.. Whenever I get the boot mode is not active when the jumper pin 29 to ground 24 or flash memory .
I thinks my wiring diagram for read the information in boot mode is not correct. I have vida and i chek all the wirings diagrams of my ecu.
How conect in boot mode to the me7???? Is possible or is anything wron?

A million thanks for the support .

Ok. Bought a bin file made by a professional (120 euros) but it behaved even worse. Fortunately it was so bad that the ecu registered a fault: cylinder 3 misfire. Replaced both the injector and the coil and now it works ok :).

AFAIK it's not possible as the CEM and ECM exchange a pre shared key.

It's on my list to delve into the asm at some point but since they're easily cloneable then what's the point I thought.

Hey guys,

Have been reading a lot on this forum during the holidays and also successfully made a clone ECU for my V70 2.5T -99. Been working with identifying the locations of the basic maps in my stock file that should be required for a stage 1 tune.

I'm wondering if you have any tips regarding datalogging on the P80 ME7 Volvos. I have VIDA and I guess it's better than nothing but it would be great if it was possible to log some internal variables as well to see what the ECU is expecting to happen and what is actually happening. Mainly for dialing in ignition timing changes and seeing how much the ignition is retarded during WOT pulls etc. Do you have any tips regarding this?

Thanks!
Markus

Do some reading in the Wiki as this file is very straight forward for the changes you want to make. Before I (or anyone else) gives you the map adresses for the changes you want to make, you need to understand how to change them and into what. This file requests quite low boost for a reason. The turbo runs out of breath quite rapidly, and the fuel injectors won't have the capacity to produce any miracles in terms of flow so stick to about 0.8-0.9 bars of boost midrange tapering off to 0.7 top end.

Post by: Opti on April 19, 2015, 08:09:17 AM
So I've been making some progress on my Stage 1 tune for my V70 2.5t -99. After lowering the values in the second to last columns of KFMIOP I have got rid of the torque monitoring DTC that was set in the ECU on WOT at around 3200 rpm after increasing the load cap in LDRXN. However I still see a large timing pull at WOT and I'm not quite sure what's causing it. It is the same as before I lowered the values in KFMIOP. The only modified tables at the moment are LDRXN and KFMIOP. KFZW is stock and if I've understood ME7 correctly then the ECU should be aiming for the values in that table at the specified load/rpm right?

Right now I'm seeing timing being retarded to around 3-6 degrees before TDC, so that is around 10 degrees being pulled when looking at KFZW and ~140 load which is what I'm requesting. As soon as I go WOT the timing is pulled. I guess it could be detonation but from what I've heard Volvo ran very conservative stock timing in these engines.

Any hints? :)

I've attached my KFMIRL, KFMIOP and KFZW tables.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on April 19, 2015, 08:16:12 AM
Are you sure KFZW is correctly defined?



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on April 19, 2015, 09:33:12 AM
Can't say I'm 100% sure but it has the same pattern as the V70R Damos file I've been using for reference in finding maps. Did a comparison to an Audi map off the forum just now and that pattern seems similar as well. Datalogs from reference pulls on all stock calibration seem to follow my KFZW on WOT.

VIDA "log" from pull with stock SW.

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on April 20, 2015, 09:19:34 AM
At what RPM do you have 3-6 degrees iginition angle?


Timing usually drops when going WOT at around 3000 rpm. But upon reviewing some more logs today I found that the amount of retard varies somewhat between pulls. Sometimes I see a 10 degree pull and other times it's just 6 degrees etc. I've only got logdata from the Torque app since making the changes in KFMIOP and I've only managed to log at 1 Hz. I think I need to get some VIDA logs with pulls from around 2500 rpm to 5500 rpm at least to get further with the analysis. I'll be back :)



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on April 21, 2015, 10:04:06 AM
Some logs from today (from android Torque):

Logging frequency is only around 1.3Hz :/

Timing is definitely better than before KFMIOP changes. But the question remains whether the timing is correct for my KFZW and corresponding load. I have a feeling I might cap requested load somewhat due to the lowering of KFMIOP, see diff image of KFMIOP.

If I've understood correctly the output from LDRXN for a specific rpm is used as input to KFMIOP to cap requested torque which is then used as input in KFMIRL to generate requested load (simplified version as iirc there are more caps limiting load). Then the torque monitoring verifies that the actual torque is not higher than the requested torque. Have I got this right? :)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on April 22, 2015, 04:45:41 AM
A log with requested load vs actual load would be nice as well. If that's not available, please post your LDRXN curve and measure boost manually vs rpm. From there we can make a rough estimate allthough proper logging is the best way to move forward.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on April 22, 2015, 09:51:47 AM
Okay thanks for your input :) I'll get a VIDA log with boost in order to try to estimate the actual load.

Right so here's a log from VIDA with some annotations :)

Between 3000-4000 rpm it seems boost increases by around 100 hpa and I still have problems with torque monitoring. I still get DTC (actual load > req load) at ~3640 rpm. I have also made a flash revision where I aligned KFMIOP with KFMIRL using the Excel Tool available here but I still see this increase in boost at 3000-4000 rpm and the same torque monitoring issues. This leads me to believe that KFMIOP itself is not the map to tune to get rid of the torque monitoring issues in my case!? KFMIOP axis is not altered.

I have not modified KFLDHBN yet since I want to work out these torque monitoring issues, so this might cap load I guess (attached below).

Im also attaching my LDRXN table and graph.

Ideas are much appreciated.

Last two columns are lowered from 2500 rpm and up in order to try to avoid actual load > requested. The map it not fully aligned with KFMIRL. I am running a fully aligned map right now in the car but I'm seeing the same problem.

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on June 11, 2015, 11:59:10 AM
You are seeing what? Car goes into limp or you feel something?

No, no limp mode. The ETS (eletronic throttle system) light comes on during WOT at around 3600 rpm and at the same time a DTC is stored. From the logs it look like the timing is pulled. It is interesting however that the DTC seems to have been removed in later software releases. To me this diagnostic feels pretty handy since I have limited logging capabilities.

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition
To check that the engine control system reacts as intended, the Engine control module (ECM) monitors continuously that requested torque from the engine does not become too high. To do this, the Engine control module (ECM) calculates a maximum allowed torque which is based on accelerator pedal angle and engine rpm. This torque is then compared with the requested torque. If Engine control module (ECM) registers that the requested torque exceeds the maximum allowed torque for longer time than 0.3 seconds, then diagnostic trouble code ECM-980A, Too high torque, is stored.
For upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, this diagnostic trouble code is no longer necessary and therefore has been removed.
Identifying upgraded software ECM/ETM 

Substitute value
torque limiting

Possible source
defective engine control module (ECM). 

Fault symptom
none

Nice please post up updates :)  Did you get your ori?  Green injectors?

No, no limp mode. The ETS (eletronic throttle system) light comes on during WOT at around 3600 rpm and at the same time a DTC is stored. From the logs it look like the timing is pulled. It is interesting however that the DTC seems to have been removed in later software releases. To me this diagnostic feels pretty handy since I have limited logging capabilities.

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) information

Condition
To check that the engine control system reacts as intended, the Engine control module (ECM) monitors continuously that requested torque from the engine does not become too high. To do this, the Engine control module (ECM) calculates a maximum allowed torque which is based on accelerator pedal angle and engine rpm. This torque is then compared with the requested torque. If Engine control module (ECM) registers that the requested torque exceeds the maximum allowed torque for longer time than 0.3 seconds, then diagnostic trouble code ECM-980A, Too high torque, is stored.
For upgraded software, released during year 2006 or later, this diagnostic trouble code is no longer necessary and therefore has been removed.
Identifying upgraded software ECM/ETM 

Substitute value
torque limiting

Possible source
defective engine control module (ECM). 

Fault symptom
none 


Old post but there is a map that you are missing, disassemble.....

After defining KFMIZUFIL in my bin I found that Volvo seems to have a different approach than Audi who in the bins i've seen allow 100% torque from 60% accelerator position while Volvo has this map defined all the way to 100% accelerator pedal position. After adjusting KFMIZUFIL to match the loads I would be seeing at different throttle positions / engine speeds this DTC is no longer set active.

I read through a lot of pages but didn't seem to find much.  Is there a way around the bootmode flashing?  I have a regular kkl cable as well as a mpps v12 clone cable if that means anything.  I had to bootmode my Audi one time after a failed flash, and know how much of a pain this is lol.  What prevents the volvo ecu from k-line communication like the VAG cars?

MPPS will do it in boot mode as per VAG.  Most Volvo's are not even wired to the OBD2 prt in the car.

I have a 2004 v70r, is this new enough for obd2 (in boot-mode) support?  Or bench flashing only?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on October 18, 2015, 10:09:49 AM
Why should boot mode work over OBD Port? You have to take out ECU for that, open it and in some cases do some solder. Also on VAG.


Boot mode on that Volvo will not work over OBD2, as said before.

I know I helped to write a tool todo it ;) I meant to say kline isn't wired up.  Boot mode isn't operable with the ecu in the car.

I've been following this thread for a while now, and a lot of great info is to be found here.
I'm working on the disassemblies of several bins I found scattered across the web.
I'm still learning c166 assembly in general, but coming from m44 (8051) it is doable.
From the first few 98-99 me7 ecu's to about early 2004 it all seems pretty similar.
After that it becomes more complicated and maps are harder to find.
There's no definition file of one of these later files available is there?

Does anyone know a little about the hardware differences between the volvo me7 ecu's of various periods?
So far I'm able to distinguish rougly 4 periods namely 98-99 512kb early me7, 2000-2002 with 1mb and a different immo.
2003 - 2004, different immo, different color pcb, and seemingly different eeprom, 2005+ very different file and a lot more can bus stuff.
I know that the can bus speed was bumped several times as well.
Am I right in thinking that a 2003 ecu cannot be used in a 2000 car for instance?
Also are there any hardware differences between manual & auto ecu's, or eu & us spec ecu's?

I'm also looking for a 170hp (125kw) file of a ~2002 s60 2.4 n/a.
It seems to be a direct upgrade for the 140 hp version, which has no difference in hardware.
Does anyone have this file?

The early cars a very simple me7 with 512kb flash, MY2000 it changed until MY2005+ when Volvo/Ford bought ME9 ;)

All are quite similar from an assembly point of view,  just once is more complex, as you imagine time passes and improvements are made etc.

I have only swapped like for like but have had 250k ECU's on the bench running 500 code no problems.

They also either changed the CPU speed or recoded the checksum calculation routine as it takes MUCH longer on the older cars...


There is no hardware differences between countries but may many different software versions and some of those are for differing hardware, for example MY2004 has the current BPS (post IC outlet) where MY2003 does not. (TB pipe)

Basically you really need to read the running car and tune that unless you KNOW that there is (or you have an updated software revision)

Something changed in M2007 also, never bothered to find out but different fuelling/pump/pem whatever.

Then you have revisions for different gearboxes (if an auto).


Fun!

1050 is about max for K24  and is what my car does and gets to 21 degrees timing, you? So I must be there to lol, seriously that dyno chart I don't understand the numbers to what you said, looks like 350 bhp to me @ 1.4-5 bar of boost, you have some PID work to-do though on your boost..

20-21could be in high rpm. 261kw is 354hp. Its not bhp as in crank. Its wheels
This was with 1.4bar max. Dont worry about the boost. Its rock solid. Jagged edge torque curve was because it pulled timing quite a bit due to iat. Dyno fans cant produce 150+km/h wind. I tune on highway always so on dyno performance suffers.

I don't have the Volvo soft versions to hand,

ori attached. 

This is a Dyno Dynamics 285bhp, so reads a fair but lower than a Dynojet for example.  Tuned it made around 302bhp, it just wouldn't hold the boost.  Housing cracked in three places near the wastegate.  Couple of T5's both auto and manual have made bang on stock power and about 306bhp on a stage 1 type tune.  The  R is coming back soon after a new housing so we will see :)

After the upgrade i get faultcode:
ECM-6806 Turbocharger (TC) control system flow fault.

Accordingly to volvo Vida i have:
- checked/replaced all hooses from tcv to turbo.
- replaced the tcv and boost pressure sensor.
- inspected and adjusted the wastegate according to volvo spec.

Still the faultcode shows up. The car is running just like the original program. No difference in performance.

When i remove the performance program, and run original program the faultcode dont show.

Any idea what to check next?

I know this is a ME7 thread, but I hope that some of you Volvo experts might have the answer to this.

A friend bought an old V70 2.4 N/A 140bhp. I have read that this is exactly the same engine as the 2.4 170bhp, so I am guessing that a remap might be worth it.

But what tool can do these ECUs? Perferably over OBD.

I know this is a ME7 thread, but I hope that some of you Volvo experts might have the answer to this.

A friend bought an old V70 2.4 N/A 140bhp. I have read that this is exactly the same engine as the 2.4 170bhp, so I am guessing that a remap might be worth it.

Correct. For most cars though the gear ratio is different in the gearbox if I remember correctly but that isn't an issue really.
The 140 hp version restricts the throttle plate to fully open even though the accelerator pedal is fully pressed. If you open a 140 hp file and a 170 hp file it's kind of obvious what needs to be changed.

Hi there Dream3r, would you be able to do anything to tweak my Stage 3 BSR map for my 2005 S60 2.0t?

The car is running a small TD04L-14t which was a cheap upgrade from the 12t. The car boosts to 1bar when I first install the tune using the PPC box but gradually adapts to about 0.75 bar. So im thinking it might be the fact the turbo is bigger giving more flow??All sensors and pipes are fine.

I'm hoping you could do something to mod the file to have the car boost to maybe 1.1 bar irrespective of the turbo as I'm gonna upgrade to a 16t eventually. I'm thinking the fueling will be fine with the standard injectors?

I'm presuming I would need to pull the map from the car somehow and hope you can help with software etc?

How much mate? I'll buy a dice off eBay....

Hi!
First of all sorry for lame questions...
I have Volvo V70 Y 2000 (P2) engine B5244T3 and i was planning to buy Galletto 1260 flashing cable and to try play a little bit with some parameters... i'm not planning to tune it too hard, it's more for fun&educational purposes  ;)
As i understand from this source http://s4wiki.com/wiki/Tuning it should be able to read/write my ECU with Galletto cable i mentioned, right?
One more thing i was thinking about if it is possible to read/write immo chip too with this cable? Some time ago my ecu burned and I think it would be usefull to have a tool that allows to clone ecu and simply replace it with one bought in junkyard without having to visit dealer...
Or maybe i'm completely wrong and this cable will be completely useless for my car?
If there is more information needed about ECU installed in my car, i can check and post ECU serial numbers :)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on March 20, 2016, 11:29:07 AM
Cable will only work in Bootmode. Ecu must be on desk for that.
Eep not readable/writable with it.

No OBD flashing on Volvo with cheap China stuff.

Post by: kexxx on March 22, 2016, 12:39:53 PM
thank you for answers!
while I have no cable, keeping reading this thread, lots of usefull information here :)
i tried to check some of bin files posted here by the tool me7check, but it always outputs me an error, for example like this:

Checking file original.bin (size=1048576)

Post by: MattB on July 28, 2016, 05:41:07 AM
Hi everyone, I have an issue since yesterday with my car's ECU.

So first it's a 1999MY V70 2.5T. I have been working a bit to figure out reading/writing the files from the ecu. I have tried in car and on bench with a galletto 1260 and never succeeded (the program would always respond "boot mode inactive"). I realised windows 10 wouldn't let me install the proper drivers for the cable so I have decided to try with a MPPS interface.

So, got a MPPS, and it worked! I have been reading/writing with it on bench without any problem. Only done that with stock files, at the moment I was just learning flashing, not tuning.

After a few days, I decided to try if it worked directly in car through the OBD port. So I connected the bootpin to the negative, put ignition on, disconnected the bootpin after 5s and plugged everything and launched MPPS. I tried reading, not writing and everything went fine. So when the software finished reading, I did not save the bin (since I already have that one saved), and followed every instruction for shut off.

Later I wanted to take the car and... It would crank but not start.

Bench flash with MPPS is now unsuccessful. It will SOMETIMES go into boot mode, but when it does I can't write and reading will succeed... But when it's finished reading, the software won't ask me to save the bin.

What really worries me, is with powering the ECU: I'm using a regulated power supply set to 13.5V. But when I Connect it to the ECU, voltage will often drop to 5-6V. Needless to say it won't respond in that case. I have tried setting up a windows XP virtual machine to use with my galletto to see if it works better then MPPS in that case, but haven't been able to power the ECU correctly since then.

Has anyone ever had that kind of issue after in car flashing? I'm really worried about the fact I could have done hardware damages, as suggested by the voltage drop...


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on July 28, 2016, 09:26:52 AM
Which version of mpps are you using?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: MattB on July 28, 2016, 10:04:15 AM
v3.0 cable with v16 software


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on July 28, 2016, 10:31:33 AM
Volvo CAN is still in BETA so to speak v18+ all ME7 works fine.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: MattB on July 28, 2016, 12:47:18 PM
Okay. Anyway I'm not going to try in-car flash anymore I think ;D

What I'm really wondering is how would it be possible to harm the hardware through the OBD port... I have this strange behavior of the ECU: For the bench, pins B11 and B37 on the ECU have to be powered. Currently when I plug both, my power supply will fall from 13.5V to 5-6V, maybe 7-8. If I only plus either B11 or B37, the current will stay at 13.5V. But that won't allow boot.

I'm going to give the ECU to my brother (who works designing and building circuit boards) for him to have a look at it. If he can't find anything, I'll have to find another one. Which leads to next question (which I hope I won't need an answer for): which chip is the immo chip?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dream3R on July 28, 2016, 04:43:10 PM
No idea but Phil is Phil lolllll

What's the current limitiation on the PSU? If set low (and I hope you have a PSU that has adjustable current limit!),the PSU will only allow as much voltage as the current limit is set to (Ohm's law again).


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: MattB on August 01, 2016, 05:01:34 AM
Oops sorry for using the word current, meant voltage ;D

For the PSU, current was set almost as low as possible and it always worked that way. When it started acting strange, I tried changing the current limit setting, but as I said it would never go over 8 volts.

Anyway, I decided to just get another compatible ECU and have the immo chip transferred from the old one by someone qualified. Maybe I'll ask him if he can have a look at the old one and see if he can find something wrong.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: nyet on August 01, 2016, 09:58:14 AM
I said it would never go over 8 volts.

Exactly the purpose of  current limiter - limit current by lowering voltage if the load resistance is too low. If you used a 12v battery directly, you'd likely smoke something.

Post by: Opti on August 22, 2016, 02:11:55 PM
Hey guys,

I'm trying to figure out why the ECU thinks that some cylinders are knocking more than others. Sometimes at very low load (~35) which seems erroneous. See attached ECUxPlot.
I just saw a thread here that stated that dwkrz_0-4 do not indicate the cylinder order but rather the firing order. So in this case dwkrz_4 would be cylinder 3 since the firing order is 1-2-4-5-3. This would mean that the ECU detects knock more often in cylinders 1-3 than 4-5. I have visaully checked, cleaned and torqued the knock sensors to correct spec without any difference. Do these go bad without DTCs sometimes?

I don't hear any abnormal noises from the power steering pump, alternator or AC, but I guess I could pull the belt and see if there's a difference since I also get CF when revving in neutral. dwkrz_4 (notated Cyl5 in plot) does always stand out from the rest. Any other things I could check in order to narrow down this problem?

Post by: thedrill on August 22, 2016, 02:38:12 PM
Hi Opti,

I had a similar knock problem on my friends v70, it was getting a lot of knock when logging (M4.4) it turned out to be the large breather hose from the breather box to the PTC that was touching the knock sensor and causing the issue.

P.S what are you using for logging parameters with your Volvo?

Thank you, I will check that. Did it always register knock for you due to vibrations or only when accelerating? I see my knock indication mostly when accelerator position is changed quickly (might support theory that something is loose perhaps?).

I'm using the datalogger from Hilton Tuning to log ram variables. Do you know any other solutions available?

Check your engine mounts, specifically your upper and lower torque rods, for any excess play. That can cause an issue like this

Having looked through dream3rs 2005 R file is can see the similarities in a defined VAG s4 ols. , I'm pretty confident once I've read my bin I'll be able to find the maps in it. I think the difficulties lie in tying in he relevant scattered axis data for scaling etc correct?

Hi thanks. I'll be pulling the bin file from my ecu. Tried to boot mode it on the car but couldn't get my MPPS v16 to read it. I'm ordering an ATX and will connect the 12v ground and K-line directly to do it on the bench.

I'm getting pretty good identifying maps now in winols 2D view.. KFLDRX is easy for example, on the bin files I've downloaded from this thread.

Like I say, I gather the axis are mixed about, RPM in some maps  seems to be referenced from a block totally separate the the map itself if I'm making sense...

I've got a little S60 2.0t. 2005 MY so it'll use KFLDRX as boost cap.

I've fitted a td04hl-16t myself. So it spikes boost badly but runs fine with the BSR Stage 3 map that I bought a while back.

What I plan on doing is this:

comparing the BSR and ORI and maybe copy the compressor map from an earlier T5 file and to account for the 16t? Modify the boost control solenoid map to control spikes? Maybe 85% duty cycle and ensure KFLBTS  is set to target safe lambda. Keep revised KFZW and KFPED from BSR and increase load axis in KFMIRL and KFMIOP.

Am I talking rubbish or on the right tracks?

Thanks :)





Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on August 29, 2016, 08:12:54 AM
PID controller is sufficient when properly adjusted to account for boost spikes. Depending on how much boost you're going to run.
Maybe use LAMFA to set target AFR? There are more than one KFZW and KFPED.
Regarding IRL/IOP, best would be to make your changes you think are correct and post binary here. Together with explanation why you changed and what you changed. This way people have it easier to explain and provide feedback. Commenting on just plans is harder.

If you want you could try using the wastegate regulator from the old turbo on the 16T until you can fix your the PID in the ECU if you're uncomfortable with the boost spikes. I went from a 13T to a 16T on my 1999 2.5T and I'm using the regulator from the 13T on my 16T at the moment which works fine. I've had to adjust the PID though in order to get boost above 0.7 bar but I guess that's already done in your BSR tune for the original turbo.

There is some similarities, not a lot tbf.  Axis WG cracking axis, torque limiters , all near impossible to find looking/comparing thats why I bought IDA.

Quick question that's Volvo relevant:

I've got a 2002 v70xc 2.4 lpt.  I am planning a manual transmission swap.  I don't know of any available 2.4lpt manual tunes for 2002.  Would it to feasible to put a 2.3 hpt tune in the ecu and run the t5 turbo and injectors?  I imagine I would need to make changes to a number of tables because of the displacement and compression ratio change.  Would the t5 file require too many changes to make it practical to run on a 2.4lpt?

I've ordered a cable and I'm going to pull the stock tune out of my ecu soon to start experimenting with.

What fuel are you running with this setup?  Any knock issues?  How are your long term fuel trims?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on August 31, 2016, 07:37:15 PM
Cali 91 octane , no audible knock and long term fuel trims stay around 4-5.
ME7 is very forgiving compared to M4.4.
I know its not the right way to do things , but I have had zero issues.
The 2.4 motor came out of a 2002 C70, from the junkyard.. Long block with all my 1999 ancillaries bolted on.

What changes should be made to the CEM if swapping from a automatic to manual tunes.  Can these changes be made similar to ecu changes?

No changes to the cem, you need to find the four canbus wires at the tcu and link the pairs together (green and white)
You also need to find the starter wiring at the transmission and ground the wire from the inhibitor to the cem.
I also added a couple of wires from the new clutch switch to the tcu wiring under the hood.

Thanks for the reply!  Now what about a situation where I'm running a 5 speed tune file but a M66 6 speed transmission?  Will cruise control work, DIM, etc work properly or do I need to edit tables for gear ratios or something?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

Then you need to use manual file that is made for M66 or edit function BBGANG.
Why not M56?

M66 AWD is the reason.  I'm not aware of an m66 file for model year 2002.  Can i use a 2004 r file?  I could probably grab the r injectors, manifold, turbo, etc to match the file.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

You dont have DECOS and MAF is different too. Also the ECM is physically different on R's. I'm not sure you can flash R file onto 2002 ECM. You could, but it will throw lot of faults and not run probably

You need to read more KFLDRX won't matter if you saturate your MAF.  FUEDK, LDRMX & LDRPID & RKTI for a start. :)


Thanks and lots to read.

I've pulled my bin files and have been busy comparing the two. I have also been translating the maps I think ive found across to tuner pro. That's fun lol.

Can I ask politely for some assistance finding LAMFA and some other maps? I don't want spoon-feeding.

There is a bin file on page 5 of this thread posted by dream3r.

May I ask for the location and axis data for LAMFA in that please and I'll find it in my own bin?

Also I've found two turbo maps. One has been FF'd and one has been set with values of 800 across the board. They are each 8bit maps 8*8.  The one FF'd I believe is KFLDHBN but the other??

Thank you

CDKAT to disable rear O2 check?
CWDLSAHK to disable sensor aging?
CLRHK to disable post cat lambda?

Do I also need to disable secondary air injection?

CDSLS & CWKONABG

I have NO idea here :-(


I've got a BSR 3" down pipe which was destroyed by a shitty map by a company called CelticTuning. Its been shelved for 2 years!! It started rattling around and then stopped... car failed mot on emissions where I discovered the contents of the cat were gone!! £675 down the drain.

 I want to decat and weld in a straight section to replace the empty box. guess I need to weld in a boss to keep the o2 connected though and I'll keep the factory downpipe for emissions test lol.

By the way, car running sweeet now. Thank you all.

I've learned how to use winols, tuner pro, benchflash my ecu, modify KFMIOP,Kfmirl, to compliment the'inverse' relationship. I've deconstructed an Audi bam ols to identify the maps I've listed..... ALL of this on my own. I've read FR, read a translation FR and learned what a PID is and how to modify it.

All of this is just to fix a car with a crappy paid for tune which was over boosting and running ridiculously on part throttle. No other reason. I'm not a tuner of a hobbyist. I've had to learn this because I can't afford to pay someone who might not know what they're doing only to screw my car up again.

So I can find MAPS in a bin with NO DAMOS but please forgive my inability to find what I believe are single hex addresses to change a value from a 1 to a 0... Oh yeah, without a DAMOS. Unless I'm supposed to guess??

I can't read code like I'm NEO from the Matrix.

Heres how I found my CDKAT without disassembly just by knowing the general area in the bin where the diagnostic code-words were placed.

Use divide and conquer approach and set half the diagnostic code-words to 0. Flash bin and start VIDA och check rediness. If cat diagnostics were "Not Ready" I had not disabled the correct parameter. Go back and change the other half of the code words and check again. After a few tries, cat diagnostics in VIDA showed "Ready" directly after powering ECU.

I've identified four timing maps at 133B1, 13471, 13531 and 135F1. I'm pretty sure these are KFZW... Can you say which ones are which? and if possible where on earth do you find the axis data?


KFZWMN
I think 12F2B is KFZWMN 12*16 but again I cant find axis data grrrr...

I'm not near my laptom atm, but usually its four KFZWOP maps, somewhere in between is KFZWMN and then followed by four KFZW maps.
Axes you will find only in disassembler.

Map locations are arbitrary. Placed by the compiler. Their order is not part of a bigger strategy to make them "easier" to find. Bosch knows exactly where the compiler places each of them.

So I have the bosch 0-280-155-831 injectors (orange). 315cc @ 3bar;  334.2cc @ 3.8bar. and a B5204T5 engine

I'm calculating KRKTE as follows

1984 cc engine displacement = 0.3968 dm3 per cyl.

KRKTE = 50.2624*(1.984/5)/(operating flow rate in cc/min * .684 constant )

KRKTE = 50.2624 * 0.3968/ ( 315* .684) = .0925653


KRKTE = 50.2624 * 0.3968/ ( 334.2* .684) = .0872474

When go catless CDKAT=0 to disable after KAT check? And CLRSHK to disable physically after KAT probe so I can remove it?
What map can I adjust on 90mm dp and 76mm straight exhaust without KAT for boost control duty or it must be OK when turbo actuator adjusted in stock position? Car go in limp mode with no dynamic. Seems like torque monitoring limit or boost protection? Do I need to increase KFMIOP?
For more boost I would increase LDRXN and it will be OK with torque monitoring or KFMIOP must be ajusted also? May be some torque monitoring limit or switch to disable...

Gents,

Can you tell me why Volvo has 4 maps for KFZWOP and KFZWOP maps and which ones are which?

ie. How do I work out which one is KFZWOP/2 .....

Plus, when I rescale the KFMIOP load axis, does this reflect in KFZWOP? and should I rescale the timing in that map??


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on October 02, 2016, 10:59:03 AM
Same reason why other makes and models have more than one KFZWOP.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: STEVEPHILP on October 02, 2016, 12:10:21 PM
Yeah but how are they used? I'd understand if I had sports, comfort, advanced mode 4c chassis.... But mine is a stock 2.0t


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on October 02, 2016, 12:14:06 PM
Those maps have nothing to do with chassis settings.
If you change IOP load axis, then you need to recalibrate those. KFMDS also shares that axis.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: STEVEPHILP on October 02, 2016, 01:22:40 PM
OK so the stock KFMIOP only goes up to 148.50... Puny so I need to increase this.

So:


I mod MIRL to 180-190, my KFLDRX caps at 180. I adjust load axis in  MIOP (last 2-3 columns) then extrapolate the new values in MIRL to the adjusted MIOP columns.

I then adjust ALL 4 KFZWOP maps across the load axis rows to correspond to the changed axis data above??

Correct?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: STEVEPHILP on October 02, 2016, 01:27:01 PM
I have no clue about where KFMDS ...I'll have to go looking but I assume it's a is are load/rpm but what is the output?

Hello guys, first time posting here! First off R.I.P dream3r. From what I've read he was a very knowledgeable guy and a huge part of this forum and will be missed by so many! I read a good bit of this thread a while back, lots of good info! One thing that I'm having a tough time with is reading/flashing hw/sw combo. I've seen many using the mpps tool with success. Since the k-line is used, can I just use the blue eBay vag-com tool I've been using with m4.4? What software would be best paired with this? Sorry for the noob questions, I probably should have searched a little more!

Thanks,
Bryan

I've developed software that allows read/write over OBD using a Volvo DiCE unit. You can see this here if you're interested:

I like not having to remove the ECU from the car. It's still invaluable to have a good bench flashing tool, though, and the galletto works well

That's The same cable as I use and it works great for reading and writing.

Hello all.

I'm going to make an effort to learn to tune. I've read my IMMO data using bootmode and ARGDUB'S eeprom tool and want to clone my ecu.

Can I write this 1kb file directly to the 95080 chip on a matching ECU without desoldering it?

I've got a chip reader and soic8 clip but don't want to melt the ecu lol...


I've tried reading the 95080 on the ecu using the clip but it didn't read no matter how many times I tried reseating the clip, but it reads/writes my stash of blank 95080 chips fine.

Do I need to read/write the on board chip whilst the ecu is powered up??? So far I've only tried with the ecu board unconnected to anything but the soic8 clip...

Good fun haha.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: pfloyd36069 on December 02, 2016, 12:24:34 PM
I've successfully read and cloned a p80 ecu with a soic clip without desoldering. I used a cheap eBay EEPROM tool. If I remember right I couldn't use the header and cable that came with the tool, I had to solder some wires to the clip and then insert them into the ZIF socket.  Maybe I just got lucky though


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Kal_79 on December 03, 2016, 04:16:05 AM
Just tried this again this morning. I use the clip on the 95080 on the ecu board but no read. Board is not powered.

@Guitar24t you've mentioned having to bridge crystal oscillator which on my board has one located next to the IMMO chip. Does this suggest the board needs powered?

The soic clip reads the 95080 fine if the chip is loose, I get the same read using the clip to using my soic8 to dip 8 adaptor.

Ok so I'd like to contribute to this thread, and have a gift for you all just in time for Christmas. I've built a stage 1 (maybe even suitable for stage 2) map pack for a Volvo S60R or V70R .

Can I just test the water for objections by any other contributors?

My intention is to upload a Winols definition file, a Map Pack for TunerPro in .xdf format and an example .bin file.

I'll also provide a basic guide on how to use these files to locate and match maps in other Volvo bin files using Winols in 2D mode because of the inconsistent way Volvo creates their ecu files.

I've got to tidy up the xdf definitions first but you get the idea.

This is interesting:

In these Volvo files, there are four KFZW maps. These are ALL identical.

There are also four KFZWOP maps, but these are NOT identical.

The R has VVT inlet and exhaust so id have expected an equivalent timing map to KFZW2 but nadda..

This makes me assume that the volvo uses a different timing strategy for the VVT. Anyone care to confirm how Volvo have implemented this?

Add it stands out looks like a redundant function.

A brief look at some public ME7.0 Volvo A2L (and matching binary) revealed such thing as:
DZWNWSUE "Delta ignition angle dependent on the camshaft overlap".
Also, in that particular binary KFZW2 is just zeroed out and not referenced at all.

Yours might be done in a similar fashion.

EDIT: although, ZWOP2 is also zeroed out here as well. Either way, the only way to say for sure - is disassemble the bin and look at the code itself.

There are five pedal maps in the volvo files. KFPED 1st is on its own; the other four are grouped together and I've named them KFPED 1 through 4.

The singular pedal map (KFPED 1st) could be KFPEDR, I'm not sure. (what i can say is that KFPED 1st or what ever it is, is ALWAYS the second of the 4 pedal maps in the group.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Kal_79 on December 07, 2016, 04:39:07 AM
the four kfzw maps viewed in 2d; and then listed 1 through 4.

You'll see that all values are the same. It's consistent with each 2005 - 2008 file I've checked against.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Kal_79 on December 07, 2016, 04:47:12 AM
Now the KFZWOP maps. Notice how these have crazy high ignition advance angles but each are different.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on December 07, 2016, 04:49:51 AM
Separate KFPED is KFPEDR and active only on automatics.
There are five pedal maps only on R models.
All KFZW maps are used and like I said, -2002MY 2.4LPT doesnt have all four identical.
KFZWOP having high numbers doesnt tell a single thing. That's the way it works.

I know that KFZWOP is used just for torque calculations fair enough... But you can't argue against the fact that I have bins for S60R, T5, 2.0t and a 2.5 lpt where all of them have four KFZW maps with the same values in each of them (obviously ignition values different for each variant)

Regardless if all four are used, it's not like the VAG KFZW1 and 2 method. It's clearly totally different.

Post by: contrast on December 07, 2016, 05:10:31 AM
Yes, I have binaries of these cars and engines too and know how they look. Just saying there is at least one engine/binary that doesnt have all four same.
To know why there are four ignition maps, you'd have to disassemble ;)
You can keep them all the same and be just fine. If you're planning on adding timing, then better figure out how to datalog knock retard...

Sadly dissassembly isn't something I know how to do. I wish I did.

Contrast - clearly volvo uses KFLBTS for fueling I'm looking for TABGBTS in these files I know it's near to the Component protection fuelling map. Closest I've found would be for a TABGBTS value of Grad C 450... Hex value of 6400. Am I correct? I know these cars have a very low setting.

It is not near the component protection fuelling map. And it's low indeed.
R-models use lowish value whereas LPT engines have it set at zero.

Ok guys, how about this?:

I'll upload the map defs, in XDF and OLS.

I'll upload screen shots of the maps in 2d Winols view so that noobs can 'see' exactly what they're looking for in their own bin files - so that they can 'recognise' the relevant maps.

If any IDA PRO dissassembly experts, or anyone able to locate additional maps, functions, switches etc could add to this project??

Basically, if we make a community effort to define one file there's a good chance we can locate these other elements generically through pattern matching.

As an example, I located the rev limiters in winols by identifying that they can be found by searching the bin for the 16 bit decimal values "02312 00010 32000 24320 26880"

The latter two numbers, 24320 and 26880 being the limiters with a factor of 0.25.

Equally, I can find KRKTE in these files easily as it's just before the lamfa map and is always near to the decimal values "00004 00091", obviously calculating KRKTE helps to give you an idea of the value you should be trying to find.

By the way, I'm using a factor of 0.00016508 against the theoretical KRKTE value which I calculated through trial and error, which fits the 3 bar bosch injector value perfectly.

I'm rambling, but you get the idea.

Yes, that's because the BTS map is redundant. These models sit at a flat 14.7 stoich regardless.

I know nothing about Julex method, but KFLAMKRL and KFLAMKR don't exist in Volvo ME7 iirc.
The sequences for finding RPM limiters and KRKTE don't match. There are no such values near either of the mentioned things. So your definition is incorrect. And you can't reverse calclulate and find KRKTE this way.

What concerns me is that everyone cites the Bosch VXR 0280-156-280 at 470cc/min but the specs from Bosch give 310g/min n-heptane at 300 kpa. This is the same as the greens. Can someone explain what I'm missing?

You can use the Pink EV6 0280156030 from a Pt Cruiser turbo, I have used them before with good results.
5x 12mm injector spacers and wiring adapters EV6 TO EV1 would be required to do the swap.
They are supposed to flow 470cc at 3 bar and 525cc at 4 bar.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: STEVEPHILP on December 13, 2016, 06:12:41 PM
No that's not what I mean... I mean why do people say the  VXR injectors flow 470cc at 3bar.???

The Bosch catalogue states 310g/min heptane for the 0280156280 which is approx 417cc using a 0.744 specific gravity for gasoline. That's the same as the Bosch greens.

The VXR ones have a 14.5 ohm resistance compared the greens's 12 if that's relevant.

So why does the interweb say these flow 470 and not Bosch...???

Confused.

Well they should flow 470cc at 3.8 like the greens... Can't find any data sheet for them though saying 470...


On this basis I'd expect to see them rated with a flow rate of 350g/min n-heptane.

To modify the axis in IOP they'd need to find all the related maps through IDA though right?

I'm guessing only a handful of guys can do that.

I wouldn't worry about that since one is unlikely to hit that cell in that RPM and that load.
Im more worried about timing in high RPM/load since this is a stage I tune hence stock charge cooler.

Krkte ist displacement related.

Yours is different, so you have to use your own brain here ;)

FKKVS depends on used software version of your 2002 T5, TEMIN also.

KVB must be changed always, if you want appropriate BC readings.

No, it is purely # of injectors, fpr, and injector flow related.

Post by: daniel2345 on March 01, 2017, 11:30:20 PM
No, sorry.

In any Funktionsrahmen for ME7, go to function AES, application hints.

KRKTE = rho * vhZyl / 100 * Lst * Normk * 1.05 * Qstat.

vhZyl is displacement per cylinder.


Fuel pressure is corrected afterwards, injection is calculated cylinder dependant, so number of injectors is 'dont care'.

I forgot injection time is based on krkte and load, not MAF


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on March 02, 2017, 12:09:56 AM
Ok thanks for the reply, I think KRKTE = 0.07163 will be a good starting point then, I will use the Tvub I listed and monitor fuel trims.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on March 02, 2017, 12:32:41 AM
No problem.

Yes, TVUB can be used directly since there is no change in injector actuation / task times or ICs since 2002.

I don't have KRKTE directly in mind, but smaller than 0.08 sounds right.

Hi all. I'm in need of a EURO V70/S60 2.3 T5 file for 2002+ model year car. I have a 2001 but this isn't the one i need as it has old style LDRXN not KFLDRX.

Any help appreciated... Got a US spec one but cant find a euro one anywhere...

Im working on a S60 2.5 T 210Hp year 2004 with the ME 7.0.1 ECU. As there is no A2L for this generation everything is a bit hard..

The Car has got a 250Kpa mapsensor mounted instead of the standard 200Kpa..
Does anyone know where to find the gradient constant for calibration ?

In ME7.0 its no problem. But even by looking at VAG ME7's i hav enot been able to locate this value :-(

That car should have 250kPa sensor as standard

Hmm.. i have not checked i have to say.. Customer just told me that they swapped the sensor as the original could only handle 1 bar boost. Boost pressure shows 860 mbar when Atm. pressure shows 1000.
So something does not match.

I have a R file that can start the car but produces a bunch of DTC's with this file the boost shows the same as atm. pressure... So something needs to be adapted for sure.

Does the R model have a 3 bar sensor maybe ? and the one mounted here is also a 3 bar then..?? i will have to check..
Would be nice to know the adress of the gradient. Then its easily fixed.

Hi Again

Well car runs okay now. 310Bhp 430Nm at app. 1.1 bar boost. Sadly im fighting with 2 error codes and limpmode.
981A that is Torque monitoring.
6806 that is Turbo charger system control system flow fault. Flow too low.

Anyone know how to get rid of these ?

The car needs to run on Nürnburg this weekend.

Must be tuned correctly to avoid these errors. Assuming all sensors are correct for the car and car itself is mechanically good.

Everything should be ok.. K24 R turbo.. Large FMIC, 550cc nozzles. complete 3" BSR Exhaust system incl. DP with race cat. 300kpa Boost sensor

Fueling alligned with KRKTE. Boost sensor with DSLGRAD to show correct Atm pressure.

Is it allowed to attach the modded file here for people to have a look ? Im not sure if i did coorect allign KFMIOP and KFMIRL

Why did you install 300kPa boost sensor?

KRKTE is incorrect, LAMFA - why so rich at idle and low load??
IRL/IOP would need adjustments.
You've missed some important maps to actually gain considerable power.
The car definitely doesnt have 310BHP atm.
What are you using to log?

Well as im in the phase of learing the ME7 im not perfect.. KRKTE is set according to lambda adaption at idle and partload it's now arround +1%
I have tried to read about the IRL and IOP maps how to set but apparently i have missed something.
LAMFA is set low for safety durring mapping.. i will set it right when i have en other stuff right.
I have an Autel DS708 for logging.
I use WinOLS and OLS300 on the ECU.
I have tuned Diesel's for more than 10 years but i want to learn this also.
Know that there might be maps i missed but i dont have A2L for the ME 7.0.1

My Dyno is calibrated and i measure 309 engine HP and 430Nm torque.

Hello. we have little project going on with a Volvo s08 T6. We converted it to single turbo and larger 1000cc injectors. Also added a 4bar map. The car worked great except when you took your foot off the accelerator it would go into limp mode. We had a friend of a friend do some changes to the map to work with the 1000cc injectors and larger turbo. now the car runs a little rough and AFR is 17-18 on idle (goes over scale with throttle) do you guys mind taking a look at the changes he made and perhaps fine tune it a little if possible. will post ori + mod file
Running 1000cc@3bar injectors
Garret GT3582 turbo

Also if possible to do a rear lambda delete since those are not connected atm

Edit. its a bosch ME7 0261204559 359462

Hello everybody,

I have experience on tuning engines using standalone ecus like Motec,Link, Megasquirts and would like to dig in the world of OEM ECUs.

I read the whole topic and I have some questions if you could be so kind to help..

So what tools I have so far:
1) MPPS v13
2) Galletto 1260
3) Awaiting MPPS v13 EDC16 metal box (I don't know if this is of any difference of the no1).
4) Awaiting VIDA DICE 2017

The car I would like to tune at first is a Volvo S60 2.0T B5204T5 engine (180ps). Then maybe an XC60 2.0 D4 (163ps) and an XC60 2.0 181ps (4cyl).

The experimental car is the S60. It has the Bosch ME7 ECU part no 0261207712.

In this early stage I would like to read the binary and open it in to see what's going on in there.
So I connected MPPS and it said it must be in boot mode.
1)Is there a way to flash without boot mode? How does the BSR PPC thingy does it?
2)What about battery voltage when flashing in car? I have seen tuners flashing on the road (stopped of course) without battery issues. Is this a Motronic special thing?

Thank you!

Post by: clubman on October 10, 2017, 12:50:38 AM
I cannot afford it at the moment. I was just curious if someone know how the PPC if the other tuners I 've seen it do it live.

So if you know and are willing to share, please do. Otherwise, you can just point me to the right direction to read and learn if you like.

Thank you

PPC is using a modified Secondary Boot Loader with added function to read.

Open source ME7 flashing has been available since 2011. (6 minutes) Motronicsuite
Slow reading the same. (hours)

John was given 5-minute reader with source code for use with DiCE before he started his business.
He has also been given modified ME9 and EDC16 SBL files with added reading functionality.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

So if I got it right, this volvocity v-loader changes the secondary bootloader of the ECU in order to let you flash in car through the OBD?

The Volvo controllers typically contain a built in Primary Boot Loader that can be activated through CAN bus.
When this is done, you can upload a program to RAM and execute it.
The uploaded program can be a Volvo Secondary Boot Loader that enables write access to Flash memory.
Or it can be something totally different.

I do not know if volvocity is uploading a modified Volvo SBL, or special software.
For very quick reading and flashing special software is required.

Guys,

What do the numbers on the right of the ECU mean? (please see photo)
I am looking to buy a used ECU similar to my S60 2.0T and do all the testing and read/write on it prior doing actual work on the car but would like to know if they are compatible so I don't have to find the maps all over again in my car.

Mine for example says 03169 instead of 04139 on this one and 0000044892 instead of 0000157769. Will the binary be the same in terms of structure?

Thank you


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

That's a unique serial number, and doesn't tell you anything. The serial number is also stored in the flash chip.
The part number above it will get you closer hardware wise, but can still contain different software.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this but it fits the theme of the thread I think.

Has anyone tried flashing a stock R bin to a 2.5t car? Could the 2.5t be run with the R file without any serious codes (pass obd2 emission test) of the R k24 and injectors were also swapped over?  Or will the different tune cause issues because of the lack of 4c, etc?

Furthermore, could a R tune be flashed to a 2.5t xc70 as an inexpensive way to get manual transmission and k24 support?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

2.5T must be Decos ECU and also need R MAF. Different MY have different software structures too.

Hy guys,

I've been an owner of an '03 S60R. It is stock beside an FMIC. My father got himself also an '03 R, according to chassis number there are only a few days between the two cars.
My problem is: this car only boosts to 0,6/0,7 bar max. No boost leaks, no vac leak (0,7-0,8 bar vac). Checked sensors, TCV, MAF etc. Replaced TCV (clogged), and replaced IAT sensor (showed almost 50°C more than the real value). I have a Vida/Dice combo and did some measures. According to the desired boost in Vida, everything is "fine", desired is only ~1700 hPA, TCV duty cycle bumps to 86%, then instantly reduces to about 50%. Do you think this car has a "detuned" software?

According to previous owner there were a BSR map on it. What does it have now? I have no idea.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

If it’s a 5-speed automatic then those have less power yes. Factory detuned.

Any fault codes in VIDA? When you say you replaced the IAT sensor, I assume you mean boost pressure sensor as they are all-in-one.
Do you happen to have the part number for the sensor you bought? R and 2005+ T5 P2 models have different sensor compared to other turbo models.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: koponyanyimonyok on December 08, 2017, 04:35:13 PM
Yes, BPS sensor. Bosch unit: 0 261 230 295.
I had a low boost fault code with the clogged TCV. No codes after the replacement, but still low boost.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on December 08, 2017, 05:43:40 PM
Seems correct.

First step, I managed to read the ECU I bought from ebay using MPPS v13 which is the same HW number as mine, 0261207712. Can someone verify it is a valid file? Also, are there any definitions in this thread that match with it?

I tried uploading the bin file here but it says that the upload folder is full??

Nobody?

I also managed to read the ECU with Galletto 1260 which was 3 times faster!

I wanted to ask something else: I have read that mileage is stored on the ECU and on the Instrument cluster. If I use my ebay ECU after I program it, do I have to alter somewhere the mileage to match my car's?

Thank  you!


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on December 13, 2017, 12:51:50 PM
Changing/flashing the ECU does not alter the mileage in the cluster.
If you change the cluster from another car the mileage will show whatever the donor car had.
If you scan the car with vida /dice, it will tell you the mileage has been manipulated.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on December 13, 2017, 01:36:04 PM
I see, good to hear this!

I opened the file I read from the ebay ECU with ecm 1.61 and it finds a driver but the numbers in a middle throttle advance show strange things like 60deg advance which is not true obviously. Does anybody know why could this be?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on December 14, 2017, 12:05:10 PM
How does VIDA know that the mileage has been manipulated?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on December 14, 2017, 08:27:17 PM
If I understand it correctly, the cluster compares its mileage to what is in the CEM, if it detects a discrepancy of 500 miles or over, it will flag an alert that Vida will detect as a manipulation.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

This is also a very handy tool for BBQ! :P :P

Next I will try to read and clone my ECU to my ebay ECU. Also please check this post and comment if you please:

Hello and Merry Christmas to everybody!

I have successfully cloned my original ECU and the car runs fine. I am now trying to locate the maps on my original bin but it seems that I have the "strange" protocol in my car and none of the map packs and ols files discussed on this topic fits mine.

So the question is, can I install an ECU version with known definition files but for my engine (2.0T B5204T5) and work on it? It is different hardware like mine is L6.2 and the other HS.2 for example.. Does anyone know if that will work? I guess the pinouts are the same..

Thank you

Original file of mine (0261207712 L6.2) is here: https://ufile.io/kv6gy (https://ufile.io/kv6gy)

I can clone a H6.2 (0261206272) and a H8.2 (0261206828) ECU on my friends 2001 T5 wagon with no issues, but they are both from 2001... the bin files are different and use seperate xdf,s..but will both files start and run the car fine.
I did this as an experiment and caused no issues.
Happy xmas.

Post by: clubman on December 27, 2017, 08:11:07 AM
Hello, thanks for the answer.. I noticed that the xdfs must be different because I found some maps on mine that were not applicable on the ebay ecu I bought(they have samw hw but different sw njmber though).. Thats why I wondered if different hw will work as well.. It is really strange that volvo used so many variants of the software and even hardware for similar model years.. If you have any map packs are you willing to share? Mine is the 1024kb versions..

Hi Clubman, As your car does not have a V.W/Audi badge on it you will not find volvo Xdf,s for free..They are like rocking horse manure.
I dont have a matching Xdf for your bin, but can try and find some useful definitions for you using Winols when I have some free time.

If one is struggling to find maps using the info and resources in this very thread then I think they shouldn’t start adjusting calibration maps just yet. Besides, the only way to be sure especially regarding axes is to disassemble the file.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on December 27, 2017, 03:07:22 PM
contrast is what I have been doing tne last days and I beieve I m doing some progress slowly as the amount of info is huge and the complexity of the maps and how they interact even higher..  :) I managed to understand what is going on with the axes, they are shared by multiple maps and located at different spots rather than the start of each map like is happening in most 16bit ones and even defined the axis of LDRXN map on that V70R ols file lying around which had only 0..15 numbers and thats a small win for me.

Thedrill if you find some time and is not a hassle plesse do.

Some questions regarding the car,do you know the stock boost level of B5254T5?? I logged with torque today during a 300km long trip and it was reporting 0.2-0.3bars.. Is it possible?? Maf wasreporting around 146g/s which seems correct for around 180hp which is the advertized power.. What loggers do you use when tuning?

Is there any database of volvo can ids so I can log straight from the canbus using my can sniffer for superfast logging?

Many thanks and please take it easy on me! Still lots to learn..


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on December 27, 2017, 03:16:42 PM
Torque app cannot read boost sensor directly on Volvos. The value it displayes is calculated based on other parameters.

Guys, I was wondering.. If every sw update from volvo on the same hw ecu contains the maps in different locations, then how does the mcu (main chip/processor) knows where to find them? Does the mcu firmware gets updated as well on any official update?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on December 30, 2017, 07:22:42 AM
Code part of the flash is updated too...


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on December 30, 2017, 08:13:06 AM
The ecu I bought to clone had another flash file on it but when I flashed my bin the car started fine and works.. How can it work without me changing the mcu code? Map locations in the 2 files are different..


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on December 30, 2017, 08:15:40 AM
It’s in flash, I just wrote it


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

I have a question and if anyone can answer it that would be great.

Would there be a problem running a 1024kb BIN (2000 car) on a 99 car (512kb bin).

As in I have a 99 T5, would i be able to run a 2000 T5 bin on the car? From what i have read only the chipset memory size is different.

Assuming i have flashed the original immobilizer (from my 99 512kb bin car) on the 1024 kb file

Can this cause any problems? Thanks



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on December 31, 2017, 02:37:00 AM
The immobilizer is in a different chip,usually 95080 or 95p08.. You clone that and you are ok immo-wise.. Regarding the flash,how will the 1024 kb fit into the 512 chip?

The best is to request a 512kb t5 file to be sure..

Dear all,

I have found some maps with the help of a member here and I am starting to prepare the tune. Regarding fueling, I have a question:

I will increase the LAMFA table in order to get some more fuel in (in higher boost for example) but I have to increase lambts as well as it is expected that the ECU will get into there after the EGT threshold. The question is, are those two maps blended when lambts is active, or one or the other is being used? Currently they are both 1.000 at WOT. If they are not blended then I will leave lamfa as is and increase fuel (decrease lamda) on LAMBTS so when protection is needed it will get enriched.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on January 06, 2018, 12:08:28 PM
LAMBTS is not a map.
Why would you increase LAMFA map?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on January 06, 2018, 12:14:50 PM
There are Volvo Maps with KFLBTS all 1.0.
But then precontroled via LAMFA not 1.0.

But you surely need about a half year more reading before even think of changing a single bit.
Just as advice not to destroy your car. If you whish exactly that, then flash tomorrow ;)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 06, 2018, 01:30:29 PM
Sorry I meant KLAFBTS.. In my map it is all 1.0000 at Wot.. At less load it has 3 values less.. I don’t see a reason why you should be ironic.. I didn’t do anything wrong, just asked a question, like forums are about,asking,answering,helping each other..

When I am saying increase lamfa I mean decrease the values to increase fueling.. Lamfa is all 1.000 right now. Why increase fuel you mean? Because if I add more 0.2-0.3-0.4 whatever safe of boost it will be safer.. I would prefer an Afr of 12.5-13:1 at least when using higher level of boost than the engine runs when stock.. I know these engines are designed for 14.7 but when boost increases I would like to enrichen.. I know about tuning, I have tuned several cars using standalones like Motec,Link and Megasquirts, I am just new at Oem bosch tuning..


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 10, 2018, 01:46:29 AM
So prior tuning anything I thought I'd have a look at stock things to make sure there are no problems with the engine so far.

Using VIDA I logged boost, Wastegate DC %, Ignition Advance, MAF, Inj Time ie..

Car has the TD04L-12T turbo (stock 180hp version) and runs about 0.45-0.55bar. MAF I logged maximum from 486-506kg/h. Inj time max around 10ms so this is like 50%DC at 6000rpm (orange injectors) so plenty of room to play. Wastegate DC stays around 45-50% (95% before reaching target, correct).

Do you see anything strange? The turbo has been serviced once before 70000kms so that's why I logged boost etc to make sure it corresponds to OEM data.

Also I read that the 163HP version has the 13T turbo. Is that true? Isn't the 13T larger than the 12T? Strange they put that in the lower hp version..

Hey!

So, I've got a spare ECM from a junkyard. Same PN as my S60R's. I've tried to get it into boot mode according to the ME7 project wikia page, but It just won't go in boot mode. Everything wired up as it shold, the power supply is good, soldered a wire to the 24th pin of the AM chip. Tried to ground pin 24 2-3 secs/ 5 secs/ 10 secs but nothing. Also: vag cable, FT232R chip in it.

Any idea?



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

From your post I understand it that you're using Galletto with a standard VAG KKL 409 cable? This should be OK if you've done the hex fix. When I started playing with this I remeber that I initially was using the wrong drivers or something for the cable and it woulnd't work. So that might be your issue. You don't need to ground the pin long, 1s should be plenty, but make sure that it is grounded before you apply power to the ECU.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

Oh true, you can make galletto software think you have a galletto cable.

Using a VAG171 cable. I did the galetto hex fix. FT_Prog recognises the cable no problem. Interesting is: I power up the ECU and if I put my multimeter on pin 24 the ground is already there.

Read a few sites back. We have the exact same ECU. Mine came from a 2004 S80 2.0T (B5204t5). You could read the bin in boot mode without any problem?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 10, 2018, 12:11:55 PM
Sorry what sites do you mean?

Yeah I read it in boot mode successfully with MPPS v13 and with Galletto. Galletto is 3 times faster though.. I also read the immo using Galletto tool and argdub’s me7gui. If you need any help feel free to ask!

I mean a few pages of this forum. Maybe I should get an MPPSv13. Seems I just can't get it to work with my setup.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 10, 2018, 01:17:46 PM
Yeah I just read your posts. Same HW true. You can buy an MPPS v13 or a Galletto 1260, pretty cheap both. I also have a KTAG and will try to make a full backup with it.

You probably know the procedure well but I will write it just to be sure:
1) Use a good power supply with a switch. I have adjusted the voltage to mine at 13.6v.
2) Connect 2 12v signals, GND and K-Line ONLY (No can-bus). 12v is pin 16 on OBD socket, KLine is pin 7 and ground are pins 4-5.

3) With the ECU switched off, ground pin 24 of eeprom to the outer strip.
(https://serving.photos.photobox.com/04706726f401d21aefb31bd5bc4ecec96451c4d85c7f5fc2633a1139b189ca68948e6fb9.jpg)
4) Keep grounding the pin and switch on the power supply. After 2-3 seconds of power up, remove the ground.

Your ECU must be in boot mode now. Every time you perform an action you probably need to do the process again (the programs advise you to do so)..


Now, can you please tell me where can I find the Desired Boost parameter on VIDA? Is it in Real time vehicle communication or whatever it is called, after selecting the ECM? I also searched for knock retard but couldn't find it.

Thank you


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: koponyanyimonyok on January 10, 2018, 01:28:11 PM
I'll try your method. Until now I only grounded pin 4 on the OBD conector.

Diagnostics --> Vehicle communication --> Select ECM, then search for desired boost in parameters. Then open the graphic display and hit start. You can't read knock sensor through Vida.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 10, 2018, 02:01:03 PM
Probably grounding shouldn't make a difference, I think I was grounding only pin 4 too but give it a try.

Don't forget to choose the 1024KB version! 29F800BB.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on January 10, 2018, 02:22:35 PM
Desired boost is available only on R and 2005+ T5 models iirc.
Thats for ME7 ECM’s.

Guys has anyone read the Bosch ME7 using KTAG?

I tried my KTAG v7.020 today and successfully read and write a full backup.

However, even though my car is listed exactly, S60 2.0T 180ps, It says "ECU not identified" and so KTAG cannot read micro, flash or immo ndependently, nor write them. Only in the form of a full backup. You can separate the files from the full read backup and get your flash bin for example, but you cannot write only this, you have to write the entire backup.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: fredrik_a on January 11, 2018, 11:19:45 PM
Car has the TD04L-12T turbo

Do consider fitting a larger turbo as that one is really small... :-)
Also, check what clutch the car has. Either it will share the clutch with the NA cars making it risky business when tuning. (I've never managed to get them to handle more than 300-320 Nm), or you have the stronger clutch from the 2.4T/T5 and so on cars making it possible to run +400Nm with no issues.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 12, 2018, 12:07:52 AM
Thanks for the info! Is it possible though that the 163hp version has a larger turbo? It sounds strange as it is a lower output version.
And the question is, how complicated will the remap be? What is the most important map to change after a different turbo install instead of KFLDHBN?

If I have the small clutch, can I just change clutch cover and disc or do I have to install a flywheel as well?

Dear Luki,

Welcome to the forum! Funny thing is that BSR stage 1 is 228 for the 180hp and 233 for the 163hp version so it could be but I know you have the 163hp version so you should know better! ;)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: luki743 on January 12, 2018, 07:12:02 AM
Hello! I have the 180 HP version :P in s60 only they are

2.0T 163KM - c70,s80
2.0T 180KM - s60,v70,s80
2.0T 225KM - c70,s80

I do not believe that the BSR gives the exact power - is estimated.

---

In s60 2.0T 180KM just replace the injections, turbo (maybe 14T, 16T), tune ECU and... will be 250+ HP

Your original flywheel will fit the 9-1/2" T5 HPT clutch plate and cover, The LPT and NA disc is 9.0".
I think you could add the 14T turbo intake side wheel and cover to make it flow a bit more...or just fit a complete 16T to make it breathe easier.

Thanks for the info.. I had the clutch changed before so i ll check the history and see what I do have.. In Bsr site theybstate that the chassis number 2 cars have the larger clutch but I didn’t understand which number I have to check at the VIN..

Now back to the topic, I had a look at a BSR tune file for the 2.3T and they only changed the KFWZ3 (3rd in the row of KFZW maps).. Does anybody know why? What are the difference between the 4 KFZW maps? Does the B5204T5 have dual VVTi? That would explain it.

Dear Luki,

Sorry for downgrading your car!! ;D ;D

Please accept my apologies by provinding you a better place for booting the ECU (I remember you had difficulty soldering straight on the chip). This is on the bottom of the ECU, solder straight on the side of the resistor shown. Ground it on the outer ground strip (with the little holes on it). Tested and works perfectly!

Visually check that you haven’t accidentally desolder or lifted the bootpin on the eeprom..

On my power supply I can see the amps the ECU pulls. When removing the ground the amps decreases from 0.30 to 0.26 so I guess it should be good.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 12, 2018, 05:03:33 PM
You can’t say for sure from the amperage.. There are other components in the boot line circuit that draw current as well. Make sure that pin 24 has contaxt with the pcb. Then desolder your wire and try grounding using the resistor I posted some posts ago. Maybe this works for you. Also, what if your MPPS is not working? Can you verify it is ok?

What is the voltage in the power supply? Try above 13.5.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: koponyanyimonyok on January 12, 2018, 05:51:08 PM
Galletto + Vag cable does the same (no)thing, so its not an MPPS problem. Tried on the resistor, 13.9V, still no boot mode. Will try on a brand new windows, in the next few days.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 13, 2018, 01:23:02 AM
Galletto has a weird procedure. You cannot have the ECU booted and switched on and then run the program. Run the program choose the Audi relevamt ECU type GENERIC 7.xx and then switch on and boot the ECU ONLY when the popup about pin 24 to massa appears. Press ok and ecu id and it should work.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on January 13, 2018, 09:20:33 AM
My procedure for galletto, have galletto loaded with a bin file, hover over write...I press the button on the ecu and keep it pressed , switch on the power...count to four, release button...press write... message will show...hit ok.
Works every time for me.

Post by: clubman on January 26, 2018, 02:20:33 AM
Yes, my Miata has an EGR valve and guess what, it is a  Port Injection Gasoline engine!

Now if Volvo isn't fitted with one that's another story..

VVT does the work of the old egr valve.

Oh, ok. So as a conclusion every Volvo will have an EGR?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on January 26, 2018, 05:05:47 AM
No, I didn't conclude that. I just asked a question, that's what forums are for.. 2 possibilities, 1 is to have an EGR as other manufacturers do include in their cars, 1 is to not have.. If it doesn't have you can just say that it doesn't have.. No need for being ironic..


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on January 26, 2018, 05:14:56 AM
Only Problem is, that you continously ask questions, which can be answered with absolutely little or no effort by yourself. Instead, you ask here to get everything for free on a silver spoon.

That is not helpful for anybody, nor do i see the community benefit.

By the way: if you would have asked: "does my volvo have an egr system?", i would have answered yes or no. Of course along with an ironic commentary :D

But maybe my point of view is to strict.
So i keep calm and you keep asking ;)

Post by: clubman on January 26, 2018, 01:16:53 PM
When asking questions there is always benefit for the community. That's what forums are for. If someone has that same question he will read those posts and see that there is no EGR on these specific Volvo models and not ask again. ;)

Hello everyboby,
I am modifying my original post where I was wondering why I couldn’t see any of the files attached to the posts.
I found out it was because I was not logged in. Once I logged in, all the files were there.
Thanks all for all these great contributions.
I will continue reading more and hope to contribute myself at some point.
I have a 2004 V70R manual.

Welcome! Car specs? Does it have a remap yet?
stock ecu, but upgraded down pipe, TME exhaust, SNAAB intercooler + intake. I also have 650 injectors and S4 MAF.
but the car is currently dismantled for basically an almost complete restoration. I will shim the block and may possibly port the head. I plan to get an upgraded turbo, but would like first to tune it with the stock turbo.

A small NOOB question:
I know they have an opportunity to turn off, for example. rear LAMDAZOND or MAF, is this something that requires serious knowledge, or is it even possible to handle with eg. VIDA?

Thanks in advance

Yes it IS possible using only Vida and a china cloned dice unit to code out the MAF.
1: log in to Vida using the generic password you were given.
2: connect to vehicle and fill in the cars details.
3: Go to the diagnostic tab, find advanced settings.
4: Once in advanced, in the upper right corner you will see an "Ultra expert" tab, click this and you will now have 3 options.
5: option 1 is "Advanced" option 2 is "vida loca" option 3 is "shatner"
6: once you click the "shatner" tab all hell breaks loose and you will be in "speed density mode"
7: make sure you get a captains LOG.

Hello,

Although it sounded quite reasonable the ones you wrote, tell me something you're shiting me ?!

They would be really nice if it was possible when the MAF causes some problems when the engine begins to absorb more amounts of air.

Have a wonderful day anyway

Hello,

my S60R got a tune, since then it can't maintain the desired boost level. I'll show you a VIDA graph. Accordig to an analog gauge the boost is 1,1-1,2 bar to around 5000 rpm, then it tapers to 1 bar till the 7300 rev limit. Any suggestions? TCV is a fairly new Pierburg item, BPS is new, proper Bosch, no boost leaks, vac hoses fine. Tried another wastegate, another CBV, Intake is stock, cat is stock and functioning fine. Exhaust is 57mm from cat (removed resonator) till a big muffler at the back. (anyway, tried the car with downpipe only, no change)

My turbo is still the original, no shaft play minimal oil consumption. Don't you think a stock K24 should boost more than 1 bar at the 6000 rpm range?


The picture shows a 3rd gear WOT pull to 7000 rpm.

What are your kfldrx numbers at 6k rpms?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: clubman on March 29, 2018, 06:26:37 AM
Sounds like a tune setting. My boost tapers down as well. However in my case I believe I have to tighten the wastegate a bit.

What is the black line on the graph? Is it boost of what kind? The green line is normal boost I suppose..

Also from what I see you overboost so maybe the car is tuned for 1 bar and you just note the overboost on the gauge..

Black is the ECU desired boost. I'm not talking about that minimal overboost when the turbo reaches the target boost.

How can it be a tune problem? TCV duty cycle is maxxed at high RPM.
Stock Volvo K24 never holds more than 1.0 bar or slightly higher boost at high engine speed. You’re off the compressor map after 5000 RPM. This is also evident in airmass which is flat past that point.

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

Depends on what you want.

To have 0,1 Bar more boost at 6k maybe.

To feel a real difference no. Bigger turbo with bigger Turbine needed then.

So no visible corrosion but I thoroughly cleaned all the pins with a tooth brush.. When I put the ECU on the car I didn’t get the error.. After a small ride there it is again.. And I also found another problem! VIDA does not finds any related fault but the fan won’t come off.. It was working for like 15mins and the coolant sensor was reporting 81-82C(thermostat point probably). Switched the engine off, switched on again, fan off for 5 seconds then on again... Switched to the original Ecu then the fan came off and temp started risong normally. Switched to the tuned ecu again, fan was off and temp was rising normally.. Like the original ecu reset the fan.. Do you believe that ebay bought ecu could be faulty?

I got exactly the same DTC after the software change. But car starts fine, did not have any ECU related problem.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: contrast on April 05, 2018, 06:56:53 AM
This code has nothing to do with corrosion nor bad contact.

It is due to checksum mismatch between ECM and CEM. If you change ECM calibration and flash the file, it will set the DTC because there is another checksum in CEM and they don’t match anymore.

When ECM is flashed through VIDA (reload, upgrade or performace application) then a block in CEM will be overwritten as well.

This DTC is solely meant to indicate modified ECM software.

Hello,

I am starting in ME7 volvo tuning and I already made great progress with the help of this great forum (I cloned successfully my ECU), now I would like to go the next step: tuning my ECU !

I own a V70R 2004, MT Eurospec and as a former SAAb owner, I would like to tune my car to run E85 or better, flexfuel. I saw some topics how to tune for E85 but I am not sure of my mappack (especially KRKTE, Ignition tables, turbo tables) to start playing with.

I started using a file shared by krazydbiker (the closest to my car because not so many studies for a pre2005 bin :() in that post and try to update it according my bin offsets and change some axis. But now, I am kind of stuck so if someone can help me to improve my mappack, it would be great help!  :)

I put here my bin and mappack for your review.

Thanks a lot for your support !

Hi All,

Reading through a bunch of threads on here about Volvo ME7, this one through 3-4 times so far. Some amazing info, 99% of which goes straight over my head..! Didn't look into it for tuning, my only plan was a manual conversion on my 1999 V70R AWD after popping the auto box, but this seems to be an annoyingly rare combo so can't find any originals to make it nice and simple, or definitions for the 512kb stuff to try and piece something together.

Anyway, waay back in 2013 this was mentioned on another thread:
You wouldn't happen to have an original bin for the 99 V70R AWD, which has the big green injectors? I'd love to get TVUB for those, too.  Working on getting proper voltage tables for the larger stock injectors for those who wish to upgrade, myself included... :)  Tried to find TVUB on the later 1024kb binaries but didn't have any luck.

This info may well be readily available now but as I still can't seem to find any originals for this version anywhere, attached is the bin from my car in case it's of some use to anyone.

Spec:
1999 V70R AWD Auto (AW50-42), B5234T8 (big greens, 18T), EU (UK) car

Cheers!

Hey guys, I am hoping someone here can lend me a hand. I am a n00b when it comes to ME7. I recently got MPPS 18 and I have a spare 2001 ECU kicking around that I am playing around with.

At this point I am simply trying to read the ECU on the bench but I keep getting "error reading ECU" every time. I tried grounding pin 24 to get into boot mode which doesn't seem to make any difference. Do I need to do something to bypass the immobilizer in order to be able to read this thing?

I have it wired same way as shown earlier in this post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hmm so it's always set to 0 default? I'm seeing some delay before my lamfa fueling kicks in and was suspecting TLAFA to be non zero. As far as I understand there is no smoothing function to LAMFA in ME7.0 as there is in ME7.5.

I should be seeing the lambda request go from 1 to around 0.82 (set in LAMFA map) immediately as I go WOT, correct?

This is because the CEM has the old checksum for the ECM stored and when the comparison takes place it will notice that the ECM checksums are updated/changed.

I want to install the injectors from 2002 T5 (0280155830) (my car is a 04 V70 lpt)
My bin matches the V70R bin found here.
Do I need to hunt down the TVUB and other maps or is FKKVS from the T5 enough?
My bin is posted in this thread.

Thanks for any help!

I think you want to change KRKTE first.

Post by: Mladen on October 18, 2018, 05:47:17 AM
I think you want to change KRKTE first.

Is 0.0480 right for a R. My v70 lpt is the same value.
I will calculate the new value some time today.
I dont think this is right
Should be....

Calculation as follows (from translated RKTI)
(50.2624 x 0.5042) / 261 = 0.0970 (0280155830 BLUE INJ)
0.5042 is my 1 cyl in dm3
261 is g/min in heptane

My original 0280155831 gives me 0.1069

I tried with GAGTOOLS KRKTE calc and got 0.0992 for 0280155830
0280155831 = 0.1212
KRKTE
Engine size 2521cc
Cyl             5
Temp         0c
Athmo        1000mbar
Humid        0%
Flow           297cc/min
              = 0.1212 (0280155831)
Makes more sense with these numbers?
I also read that if under 660cc no need to change TVUB

KRKTE always must be calculated when larger injectors are fit!

We do not set KRKTE randomly but there is a formula from Bosch that calculate it! You analyze it before but you have to watch that this formula
do not use the injectors gasolines flow rate at cc/min but uses the gasolines n-heptan flow rate with units g/min!

So watch out!

I usually tune larger injectors only with KRKTE without having problems, injectors till 600cc! Over 600cc you have to adjust injectors lag time and some more that you have found and you explain before!

Well done for your well job on that topic!

Fotis

Hi guys, this is my first post here.

I have Volvo S60 with 2.0T LPT (CR 9.5:1) B5204T5 180hp engine. It was remapped to 230HP. It was driving very good, but only few miles after battery disconnect. With miles, the throttle response (and overall power feeling) was becoming more and more sluggish.

I've decided recently to upgrade engine with FMIC, TD04HL-16T turbocharger from 2.3 T5 and blue injectors from the same 2.3 T5. Then I (carefully driving) took the car to the tuner, who said that there's no problem to do such a remap for my bigger turbo and injectors. After few days I got the car with NO CHANGES in software at all. They said that car on this setup makes 1.1 bar boost, 266hp, 334Nm of torque, and that stage 1 remap that was still in ECU is perfect for that turbo, and I can drive with no worries.
He also said "they wanted to make more power but weird things (?) were happening to boost pressure above 1.1 bar."

So... I know that this is BS. And literally no one in my country just wants to do such a remap for Volvos. They only do remaps on stock cars with stock components. When it comes to do something more complicated, they don't want to.

Car runs, it hasn't exploded yet, but boost increases almost instantly to 1.1 bar. There IS more power of course, but there's torque intervention frequently. Also AFR is 14.7 at all loads/rpm which I checked with borrowed Innovate wideband o2 sensor.
Fuel trims oscillate near zero, so no limp mode or check engine light.

So! I have to do it all myself. I've downloaded 1024kb .bin file via MPPS to my PC and start learning about how to find maps, etc.

Firstly I found LAMFA, and edited it to 11.8 at high loads, just to drive more "safe".
What should I do next? LDRXN 6x16 (Volvo version) is maxed at 164, which corresponds to ~0.94bar boost. And on my boost gauge there's 1.1bar. Highest value in KFMIRL is 161. KFMIOP is untouched and goes to 40. Axis goes to 131. KFZWOP untouched.

KFLDHBN is maxed out flat - is it maximum boost limiter?
KFFLLDE and KFFSLDE are weirdly flat. On other volvos it's not like that.
KFLBTS - values are HIGHER THAN 1 on max loads. It's weird, or It's not KFLBTS map, maybe I'm wrong.

I guess I should lower KFLDIMX values to get my boost around 0.9 bar.
I did it but needs tweaking.
Then what? Raise KFMIRL and KFMIOP? only axis and leave Z values inside map? They go only to 39.
When I raised that values to about 90, and corresponding axis to mach those maps, ECU entered limp mode with no boost at all.

I know i should log the car, maybe I will build some cheap logger in near future, but all help is welcome. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing.

Here is my original OLS file with all maps I have found, using S60R damos and other VAGs files. I started to learn about 2-3 weeks ago,from nothing so I'm not 100% sure. This is untouched stage 1 tune which i received from the first tuner. Second tuner didn't do anything to the file. Unfortunately I don't have original 180hp version.

Other 2 files are modified by my like I described.
Thank you in advance.

Post by: daniel2345 on November 04, 2018, 08:52:24 AM
Two things to add:

LDRXN is limiting rl_w which is not corresponding to any boost in general.
It depends on engine, linearity, mods, calibration, etc
I don't have it in my head exactly, but the name is something like KFLDMX or something like that.

There is no S60R Damos available. It might be an OLS with manual defined maps or you are talking about S/V70T5 Damos which goes around.


Generally you have chosen the hardest task to learn Volvo ME7. The engine has weakest internals, 16T is hard to control because of quick spool with the original calibration.

So don't floor pedal under 3000 U/min until you read a lot more about the whole thing.
Or somebody is brave enough to do this the remote way.


BTW: which country are you talking about? :)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: The_Taker on November 04, 2018, 09:03:13 AM
Thanks for reply, I'm from Poland.

It's KFLDRX which I found in google.

The internals of this engine are not so weak like for example 2.5T, because of thicker cylinder walls. They are like in 2.3T.
Only the piston stroke is short, so low "native" torque can be generated.

I mean that I have OLS file from S60R with manually defined maps.

I've already copied the KFLDIMX values from S60 2.3 T5 which comes from factory with 16T. And lowered them slightly. Boost is much better controlled now, I think. Goes linear with acceleration, don't just shoot up instantly.

Interesting, my V70 2.5T -99 feels exactly the same way. Really nice response after battery/ECU-reset but then gradually gets more "tame". Could it be some kind of adaption?

Btw, I'm also running a 16T and waiting to install blue injectors, just need to get my wideband installed and loggable first before I go play with KRKTE.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on November 04, 2018, 02:26:27 PM
You need to read more...

The engine has a non forged crankshaft and pressed, non cracked very long rods. Weaker bearings and a weak short  piston wall. Every single aspect is not good for low end torque...

Yes it has 81mm bore, but that's the only good news and really the only similarity to the T5 engine ;)


Copying KFLDIMX can be a start, but you need about 30 maps and curves more for the boost functions to get boost right. Mostly PID parameters because it is too slow calibrated due to the small factory charger. Read VAG ME7 Funktionsrahmen, every LD* function.

Not to mention what else to do. Torque monitoring, fueling, etc.

And watch the boost vs. rpm. You probably already worn out the rod bearings...


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: MeNewbie on November 05, 2018, 05:54:19 AM
I think adjusting KFLDIMX and Q2 will be enough to get rid of overboost ;)

Hello,

As winter is coming, I am starting to have issue with my coldstart and warmup on my Volvo V70R MY 2004 with E85 tune with EV14 650cc injectors fitted.

No issues were spotted with Petrol and in summer, rest is working fine, so I am pretty sure it is due to non fitted coldstart maps.

I already modified KFWKSTT which was great help for cold cranking start but for idle warmup, my car is lumpy and have hiccups, even maybe misfires which all are gone when engine is hot.

I think I have to alter the map KFFWL but I really can spot it in my bin (I don't know how to use IDA either  :().

I tried all side by side Audi tune comparison and some of the map finder tool available in this forum without success, Volvo ME7 is so different  :-[

I thank everyone who can help me to find that map, see my bin original and modified attached!  :)

Nice that you are trying with E85.

But thats not an easy one, espacialy on EGAS ME7...

Your Ignition is only +3° - you have to log alot more to have it right.
Having too late ignition with E85 can damage your system too, due to pre/self ignition. Which is terrible with E85 due to very high laminar flame velocity. Same for to early ignition. In general more dangerous than pump gas because it has burn stabilizer.

Your FKVVS is not calibrated well. It doesn't need to be touched at all for those injector sizes.
KRKTE is wrong for that injectors, TVUB needs to be higher (I think).

In KFWKSTT you have all possibilities because one axe is engine start Temp (tmst).
You don't need to change it that much for higher engine start temperatures (above E85 vaporization point).
Be aware of oil dilution!

KFFWL Address is sent to you by private message.

Good Luck.

Thanks for your help and support.

Not quite easy indeed, it was much easier with my previous SAAB but I got great support on this forum!  :)

To give you some more information about my tune, my main target was to build sort of daily Flexifuel setup so this why I may have strange values in my bin:

- Iginition was not changed much from stock because I did not wanted to create issues with petrol and I was not looking for big "boost" by ignition. Butt dyno says it's OK but I did not think I was on risky area. Should I back it off to stock?

- TVUB: I simply used the spreadsheet from my injector dealers (IPD Usa which uses base DW injectors, I can attach the file here: I took the value for 4bar fuel pressure), I thought they got it right.

- KRKTE: I "guesstimate" by looking LTFT betweel fuel petrol and full E85 and find something in the middle to "adapt" within ECU range depending of fuel. I saw this method on the forum and seemed reasonnable to me but I could get wrong.

- FKKVS: As I read over the forum, many people keeps their FKKVS stock or put all 1 due to their linearity. I tried both but I I still got issues with idle STFT which was oscillating in a big range to me (+/-8% at max). I read that TVUB is moslty responsible for idle STFT issues but as I consider this as input from my spread sheet, I did not dare modify it.
So this why I end up with a FKKVS like with higher in lower pulse range because it seems to reduce my idle STFT oscillating range (but I agree, it may not be the proper way to do...:))

I have unfortunately not much device for logging (most used is CAN reader + torque) so I mostly rely on driving feeling and some performance measures.

My target was just to get a safe flexfuel tune for my car which I can use daily 365 days/year and if you a have any tricks I use to optimise it, I am always willing to try and learn ! :)

Hello,

Did some tries with playing with KFFWL and no siginifcant changes even with high values (+35%). Still the drop of rpm close to stall when idling with engine cold.

Logging during this show me sudden changes in STFT so I think it was still bouncing from the beginning but was noticeable when weather was fine.

So, maybe it maybe it comes from FKVVS (this one I can go back to stock) but as this boucing was there event I got stock FKVVS, maybe it comes from elswhere...TVUB?

But how can I set it up? Because the logic behind is not clear not me (link betwen voltage and dead time).

I took a break from tuning for a while and today decided to play around again. Got my MPPS all hooked up with my test ECU and for the life of me can't get it to go into boot mode. Either my MPPS is dead or I have something wired incorrectly.

I am using this diagram for 2002 ME7.1 ECU. Is it still accurate or is there another diagram I should be using?

Edit: I think my MPPS is toast. Getting 12 volts on K Line. Pretty sure that's not suppose to do that.

Hi guys

I have b5244t5 m66 , stock HW with blue injectors and  3" decat and FMIC. With tune can make aprox 300 PS

What about 350+ ? when i change injector from R (green) and change flash maps from R then i have 300 PS. I thing this is best way to get 350 PS (remap R maps). If someone know which maps edit for stage1 R file 2005- would be great. Or have actuall damos?

any sugestions?

Engine has different bore. Knock recognition is off then, filling calculations in idle and part load will not work proper.

Intercooler is different, cam adjustment works different. Gear calculations will not work because of different gearbox.

Numerous other things i don't remember ad hoc.

Just use R flashfile will mostly not workout for you.


Use your file, put in desired mods and (have) adjust your file accordingly.

Good Luck

Thank you for reply Daniel

This is very interesting what you wrote. gearbox m66 have different between AWD and FWD? 
On test i will try start engine on R file, but i know people who drive his S60/V70 R with replacement engine from B5254T4 to B5244T5

Different beetwen 2.4 T5 and 2.5T R except FourC, brakes, design etc are only few like:
R models: green injectors, additional IC which does not change much and software.
T5 260 : blue injectors

cylinder head, Turbo Borg warner kkk24, dual VVT, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, airbox, MAF, rail with FPS, fuel control module are the same. Only engine block have 2.4L  T5 with thicker sleeves

In my opinion that should work without problem, but this is only my opinion

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on April 22, 2019, 11:54:16 PM
Yes, different gearbox ratios.

Cylinder head is different along with different range of cvvt.
Turbo has different setting of pushrod. Maybe different spring from 05+. Needs to confirm.

Different Bore is biggest concern in my opinion. Read a bit how knock filtering, window definitions and bandpass filters work. It will be obvious that to be safe some adjustments here are at least needed...
Especially when ignition angles and ignition efficiency calculations are off because of wrong maps used.
So knock control not working, acceleration and knock enrichment not working correct.
Less charge air cooling along with boost overshoots from different turbo setting. Sounds not like "no problem" for me :D


With green injectors it will start. But i prefer doing it the proper way then drive around a pile of shit which only does not explode because of a lot luck ;)

B5244T5 (2.4 T5 260)

B5254T4 (2.5T 300)
B5204T5 (2.0T 180)

2004+ with dual VVT have the same cylinder head with part number 36050243

B5244T5/B5254T4 turbo borg warner kkk24 the same performance, 4.4 psi WG adjustment
First R have different intake pipe from turbo to intercooler, R 2007- have the same plastic like B5244T5
WG is simple to check and adjustment, if DV need replacement there are some tuning parts.

Volvo does not hinder work
for years, the differences in power were only due to injectors, turbines and software and of course engine like 2.3L 2.0L 2.5L etc

2.5T R engine has problems with cylinders (83mm bore),
2.4T does not have these problems and you can do up to 380-400 HP on this engine (81mm bore)

Just like Daniel 2345 are saing its easier to make a good remap for your ecu and engine then change to R, there are a lot of things you have to change to get this right and from my opinion for without any benefit.

Don't rely too much on part lists. They tend to be wrong, especially for R Parts.
And, they are replacement part lists. It does not mean that those parts listed are factory installed...

You can take a the R head, put it on bench, put a 2.5T or T5 head beneath and measure the hight.
You will notice a difference. You will also notice different oil line sizes below CVVT modules and you will notice different parts of whole CVVT.

One thing which represent this are different ignition coils.
The R coils have different part number because they are higher due to higher head.



Rod adjustment is different. Can be seen when choosing the correct note from Volvo.
And can be seen in complete different PID application in data sets.




You don't need to believe that, im just writhing what i noticed in the past almost 15 Years :)



And: it is useless to discuss. Different bore and impact on knocking would be a no go for me.
And you can easily achieve same torque an power numbers with B5244T5 software.

Relax guys this is the loose conversations :)

I do not know if you have watched the B5244t5 engine since 2005-
has other candles than the 2004 vintage even as the My2005
since 2005 there are significant differences that present negligible identical parts of T5 to R
I had a basket of parts from R 2004 and S60 T5 2004 then 2005, 2006 and there were differences with each year
It is these differences 2005+ they most closely approximate T5 to R. longer Spark plugs, coils (grey plug) for My2006, different cyl. head etc.

I do not rely solely on catalog data, I have been collecting experience for over 10 years and every year the model was different in every Volvo.

I know that on the B5244T5 file we can do the power we want, but tuning is a lot of experiments that are not written on cards and we have to check how it works. I will share my experiences with you in a short time how works Rfile with B5244T5 2005+ engine


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on April 23, 2019, 02:05:42 PM
Hehe, im mostly relaxed :)

Ok, for a late MY06 or even 07 they might have changed the T5 parts more in the direction of the R engine.
But would that make sense with a last MY of the R in 2006?

No synergies in 2007 to earn since no parallel production anymore...



Only a hint: when you have some, let's say "lack of experience" with tuning those Volvos, then using a file which might be completely decalibrated for your engine isn't a good start. In my opinion. Don't take "lack of experience" negative, i have no better words to describe it.

The whole process of logging, thinking and learning might be lead in a wrong direction by the issues you might observe.

A better way in my opinion with that situation would be to compare the files whenever it is unclear how some things has to be done and look what has been done with the R. Transfer the approach to your file and se what happens...


Good Luck with your project.

I agree with Daniel.

It’s much easier (don’t take the word “easy” literally) to make 300 bhp (or more) with stock T5 file, adjusting relevant maps than just flashing an R file. You’ll be chasing your tail when issues arise.

Mechanical mods waiting: 3in turbo back exhaust with a 200 cell cat, aftermarket intercooler, can you get away with stock maf?
Also bigger injectors (blue), 16T avail.

Can anyone help me find axis data for the this bin. i have tried looking into it but disassembly is not something I have time for unfortunately.
Also If I want 12psi boost, I dont need to change IOP correct. If I understand properly it allows for 166% load.
12psi is 155%. I would have to have a properly defined bin with axis data and then change ''LDRXN"?

That does not look correct. You should generally expect the maximum torque request at the maximum pedal value. I don't think that is KFPED.

I have changed a few entries in the beginning of the map. My car was originally a AUTO and its been converted to manual. The stock pedal map had lower values than what they are now in that section to accomodate for torque stall speed. I have since changed them and no longer feel the "dip" in throttle when in traffic at approx 2000rpm. I would like to know if anyone can show me the axis for pedal request?

Hi all,

I have got an 2003 (model year 2004!) Volvo S60R with manual transmission!
The attached S60R damos file is fine and the ME7 also fits to this S60R damos file.
But unfortunately on my mj2004 Volvo S60R it seems that the dataset on the ECU is not equal at all to ME7. Compared with another Volvo S60R ECU dataset my dataset seems to be valid, so there seems to be another version existing.
Does anybody know more about this and maybe can help me out with different ME7 ols / damos files?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi Mladen, thanks for your reply!
I did went trough all 79 sides and tried all uploaded files (beside other engines as 2,4T etc.), that´s the reason why I am asking why it is not working.
How can it be that the dataset on my ME7 differs to all files i found? If there is no different version existing for free, where can I buy the other one? Or does it make sense to overwrite my ECU with other ME7 dataset?

"There are basically two different layouts of the Volvo ME7 where one is (to say the least) quite similar to VAG, i.e. you can use a VAG damos to make a proper Stage 1 tune.

I assume that is my issue here :-( In case I have the "VAG version" which damos should be the correct one?

What Fredrik means is that you can use a damos for a file that has a slimilar ME7 structure to manually compare and find the tables you need to modify using for example WinOLS. Map-locations will be in different places in every file as this is done by the compiler, but if the structure is similar then you should find the maps in the same general areas.

This is quite a tedious process but you should be able to find the maps needed for a stage 1 tune.

No you cant, your car has a 5 cyl engine. The only me7 5 cyl from factory is the NA one. You could technically hack it up and change me7 to work but simple answer no, you cant.

Yes NA as in America but what I mean is that NA and Middle east got a 5 cylinder engine derived from TT RS , which was controlled by ME7 ecu for a while, it is the only 5 cyl VAG me7(apart from vr5 late) that I know of, however that is not your issue.

You need to compare your file against a volvo me7 damos, then yes find maps individually. I had to do the same for my setup and trust me it is a lot of work. I am not big in the volvo scene , but if you can find a fully defined ecu for your engine with minimal differences, you could try swapping and you would have an easier time tuning it. Say like T5 ecu if its fully defined , I know the R version uses the same B52xxx blocks just like almost all but you need to know what are the differences between them.

Why do you want to disable PR limit map? It is for safety. Adjust it properly. KFLDRX is solenoid linearisation duty map. You don't need to touch it at all. For stock turbo just tune KFLDIMX.

Post by: Opti on August 26, 2019, 08:50:04 AM
KFLDIMX is the I-part of the PID for the turbo control valve. You will need to adjust it to get the wanted boost. I've changed from a 13T to a 16T on my 1999 2.5T and I used the 13T waste gate actuator on the 16T in order to minimize the PID work. But I did rescale KFLDIMX in order to get the wanted boost in the higher load areas since the original map was capped at ~1550 mbar absolute pressure. If not rescaling it I found that the ECU needed to adapt during quite a long period before I got the requested boost.

Thanks for the reply.

While testing, I did adjust the IMX to 12 psi or 850mbar. While I wait for the 16t to be balanced, I Put all my maps back to stock. If I wanted 1 bar or just a bit more do I have to adjust the pressure axis on KFLDIMX, since it only goes to 800mbar?
Do I need to rescale KFLDHBN to the 16T as well? If so can anyone share.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Opti on August 27, 2019, 09:20:41 AM
If you find that the ECU does not request the amount of boost that you expect from your load cap then you might need to increase KFLDHBN in the affected areas. Does the axis for your IMX really only go to 800 mbar absolute pressure? If so that sounds wrong. Is it scaled correctly?

Right now everything is stock exept for injectors. They are from a T5.
I modified hpa axis in IMX to 1000 on the last colomn, and the 2 before that respectfully. Kept the map data the same. Took the car for a drive and after 2 days boost builds to 14 psi and tapers off to 10psi towards 6000rpm.

To answer your question, no I am not happy yet. I don`t have the knowledge that most of you do with ME7 since this is an older ecu. I am doing this for myself and finding time to work on my car is quite hard.

I don`t have a proper defined file for a T5. I have tried comparing with WinOls but it does not seem to work. Maybe you can help?
My understanding is that WOP does not need to be modified?
KFZW- My understanding is that I would need to LOWER timing at higher loads and rpm? Or keep same and use 94 Octane? I know that without a proper dyno and logging its impossible to get timing right so I would rather not play with it except to make sure not to melt the block.

Not sure I follow here, but if you've left the map-data the same for that table then you will not see any positive changes by just changing the axis. If your max axis value is for example 800 mbar, but you request 1000 mbar of boost then the ECU will use the values in the 800 mbar column. Now if you change only the axis, then you will get the same I-input in the 1000 mbar column as you previously did in the 800 mbar column, but if the boost request is now 800 mbar you will get less I-input than you did before, since you've left the map-data unchanged. You need to scale the whole map (or area in which you changed the axis) so that it now fits with the new axis. Hope that makes sense.

this is what I did. I am still experimenting with it. (KFLDIMX)
My LDRXN will look like this now.
Dont mind Y axis in LDRXN. Its not defined.

You should move the map-data for the 800 column so that you can tune the I-part in the 1000 column if you do not see the expected boost for that boost request. See illustration.

Do I keep map data the same for 1000? or does it make sense to increase, even if its above 100%

Hi folks!
I'm new here but I've read this topic 3 times))
I'm trying to find maps for Volvo s60r with TF80SC transmission EU. I found some maps for tune but work isn't completed.

I've attached current state of my investigations.

Update
KRKTE was found at 0x238E4. Hex value 0x0220
TVUB at 0x23904. Values 0x0237, 0x0177, 0x00EF, 0x009C, 0x0077
KVB at 0x21A92. Value 0x1173

If I'm corrrect this info allows to change injectors to different one. Now my xc90 with 2.5T with K24 hybrid turbo and other stuff like FMIC and 3'' downpipe and TF80SC swap uses 440cc intectors from s60r.

I have a 2000 V70r 2.4 auto that needed the motor replacing, I installed a 2006 s60 T5 2.4 engine.
My question is: the newer motor has cvvt on the intake, is there a way to implement it into the earlier ecu mapping or should I just forget about it.
I have a later harness so I could trace the wires and add them to my existing engine loom.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on June 05, 2020, 11:54:17 PM
The old ecu is electrically not able to drive the inlet CVVT.

You can forget about it (cost dynamic response).

Thanks for the reply, I know the M4.4 guys use a 555 chip a cap and a couple of resistors to get the CVVT to operate, I wouldn't mind going that route if it will help performance.
Or is the intake CVVT for emissions environmental bull$hit.

I'm not sure is there anybody who intrested to tune Volvo))
Anyway I'm continue my investigations. I've found some more maps inside my BIN (s60r TF80SC).
Also I want to continue dream3R's work with logger and flasher. From my point of view these tools should be free. More general idea is semi-automatic tuning. Bosch ECU has own mathematical model. So we can enter desired values and it's able to calculate all the maps. And add corrections from logs.

Defenetly yes if you will try to get all from that turbo.

KRKTE and TVUB (and KVB for fuel consumption on dashboard). For MAF yes, MLHFM should be rescaled.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: yo87_racing on June 20, 2020, 02:47:52 PM
Yes and tvub too, I forgot to mention it. I want to use electronic boost controller, will this be a problem? The maf housing is 3.5", 60% bigger area than stock. Should I change the map with 60% for the beggining? Or should I use stock maf housing and scale new injectors, and only then rescale maf. I found krkte from s60r, what about tvub, should I change it using percent?

You should set TVUB for your injectors. My OLS file contains TVUB and KRKTE for s60r. Read WIKI more you must know what you do. And you need change one part by the time. If you change injectors then you need change KRKTE and TVUB and logs must contains around zero corrections. When you will finish with injectors you can start with MAF.

Well my s60r ols file have krkte and tvub too. krkte is the same in both files. Should I take that as good? and copy krkte from that? I think should be fine. Well I read wiki and else, but still have few doubts.

Post your ols file. Volvo s60r has 440cc injectors. If you will install R injectors then you should set KRKTE and TVUB from R ols. Otherwise you need to calculate KRKTE http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php/topic,320.msg6774.html#msg6774 and TVUB for your new injectors.

Continue John's way. I was able to understand how motronic gets data from the maps. And by this approach was able to found more maps inside BIN. But I still didn't understand internal fuel calculations (and how it works at all on low level). Need more time.

Some progress was done. I've found axis of KFMIOP, KFZWOP maps. Also were fixed size and found axis of KFZW maps. This file contains increased boost and KFMIRL map but doesn't contains propertly changed KFMIOP axis. KRKTE and TVUB were checked against 550cc injectors from Subaru STI. Analyzing of BIN in IDA at the very begin. But I found some useful variables like nmot_w, lamsoni_w, rl_w, rlsol_w, miopt_w.

The Limiter is in the TCM and is there to prevent Ravigneaux Gearset part of TF80SC from breaking.

It can not handle much more torque than the R Engine Produces with 0,5 Bar in those gears.

I actually bought an earlier shitty tuned S60 2.5T 2004.
Its a bit hardvare changes but so advanced..

Injectors are from S60R, turbo an hybrid K24/K26 and thats pretty much it.

I have now tried two diffrent fileservie but no lock so far, tha main problem are that it getting around 25% rich..
And then it cuts off around 6000rpm at WOT.

Are anyone in interest to help me out? Of coarce I pay you for it.

Some tuners just clamp torque which sends from ECU to TCU. But anyway it's not good solution. I destroyed my AW55 gearbox with this approach. The best solution is swap to TF80SC.

Actually a nice guy from this forum helped me out with the problem, it was exactly the fault you say, the injectors was actually scaled for the blue injectors (S60T5, 370cc) and not the green (465cc). But he fixed that like a boss :D

But now we actually having some problems with the boost insteed, it want to buld to much boost reguardles what we do.. If I unplugg the N75 valve it does 0,5bar.. If I plug it in 1,7bar and more..

With this BIN (version named changed angle) my car does 0-100 in 7.5 sec. XC90 2.5T with K24 turbo and some other stuff. S60 T5 2006 aw55 (bin supports aw55 and tf80 gearboxes) accelerates 0-100 in 6 secs. Also I found a problem. On 1 and 2 gears I got rlsol_w about 160%. But on 3 gear I got 200% and better acceleration that on second gear. So I'm trying to find limiter which limits rlsol_w on first 2 gears. From my point of view it's TCU's behavior.

I have 4 volvos my own and its always hard to do a nice log and find pids..
And what tool do you read/writeing the Temic TCU with?

Best requards

Sorry, I can't answer about ECU writing and logging tools. My TF80 TCU was modified and allows to flash over OBD via EcuFlash tool.
About variables. I just dissassembled my BIN and found all needed variables and MAPs. I.e. not all but almost all needed.

Here is my current IDA project with s60r TF80SC BIN.
https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3xzh/5c1AwjReV

Also I found a limiter for rlsol_w which limits this value to 160% on 1 and 2 gears. I've replaced jmp instruction to nop. This hack allows me to got 180+% rl_w on 1 and 2 gears.
Version named "removed torque limiter" contains this change https://cloud.mail.ru/public/3Yeq/5nBCr1Lbn

I'm trying to understand how much rl_w I can get from my current hardware config. IMO rl_w 180% with 1.45 kPa pressure is too low. So I'll log pvdkds_w, lamsoni_w, rl_w, zwout, zwist, mshfm_w and injecting timing for next analizing.

Why don't you just tell the Aisin TCU to not cap the torque in the lower gears when you can flash it?

If you disable this path at all, no torque reduction during shift is applied on air path.
Dangerous in my opinion, especially with the weak internals of the Ravigneaux gearset.


If you want better drivability and fuel economy, try the 630ccm Siemens DekaIV.
The 550ccm are realy realy awful bad in that.

No, I didn't remove torque lowering on shifting. This log contains shift from 2 to 3 and torque request dropped at selected point. Moreover I logged dropping of torque request on this shift. About TCU, I didn't analyzed BIN. Renesas assembler if very awful from my point of view. Very difficult to understand. I can share TCU's bin if you can analyze it.

Hehe, you made a different experience?

I tried a lot the past 15 years. Four Spray Dekas work very well on these Volvos. My experience.
Sure, you must do more than shifting TVUB up and down, but i guess you know :)

Not just about that, like people mentioned, they are very temp influenced for one , and very unlinear on low and high pw, but if it works it works, but I wouldnt say that they are better than any kind of bosch injectors, since they come with any size , neck or spray angle/port you need. Maybe they are made for volvo's  :D

I'm using Denso 550cc injectors from Subaru WRX STI knowns like pink. They have longer dead time than green injectors but works fine for me. And for my power is more that enough. But I want to get 400 bhp from my engine and 0-100 around 6 secs. I'll happy if I'll get it from XC90 with 2.5T engine.

Some more investigations. There is a function which calculates lamfa_w variable. This variable clipped by hardcoded value 0x1000 which means 1.0 lambda value.
But code can be patched. Just replacing of 1000h with 1100h in three places allows to increase lamfa_w value to 1.1. I didn't do road tests maybe there are limitations if different places but they also can be found.

Hi everyone. In advance, I want to thank the users and founders of this forum. I emphasized almost all the knowledge from here.

My friend and I are trying to set up my car. In this case, full noob. But something was figured out. Car Volvo S60 2.3T5 2001. Of the rework, only full exhaust 3" and fuel pump walbro 400lph.
Below I will lay out the cards that I found. And modified *.bin.

As a result, it turned out to increase the boost to 1.3 bar and 0.85 bar to the redline. The KFMIRL map recalculated the maximum LDRXN. KFLDHBN was not edited. Because use standart intercooler. Increase of temperature by 4 gears 100-200 km/h from 15 to 45-50 gr.C.
The ignition angle at full load was also increased. And in some places they increased the ignition angle at the average load (this is just an experiment) (KFZW).
Raised idle speed to 750 rpm (NLLM).
Catalyst Health Check (CDKAT) is disabled.

But there were problems. Afr is always 14.7. Until the KFLBTS map is enabled. TABGBTS activation threshold. If we disable FBSTABGM it will be fixed? Then the engine should work on the KFLBTS map always?. LAMFA I have everywhere "1." This map probably doesn't make sense to adjust.

We also tried to edit the Delta Lambda (DLAMOB) parameter. Set the minar value - enrichment completely turned off. AFR is always 14.7 from 2000-6500 rpm. Got it back.

I very much ask for help in solving the problem with afr.
KFLBTS found, but there is a problem with the axis.
TABGBTS, FBSTABGM did not find.
IDA has not yet been dealt with.

p.s. I'm ashamed of my bad English...

I've tried to modify a code in such way and it didn't work. But lamfa_w value was lean that 1 if LAMFA map contains lean that 1 values. It means that hardcoded value is somewhere else. Unfortunately I have a few time for continue investigations.

Thanks. The FABSTABGM map contains all "1". But AFR doesn't match KFLBTS. Except for the maximum values.
Today I'll fill in the modified KFLBTS and take off the logs.
Changed the ignition angle a little more. I'll try to squeeze everything out of standard components...

From NefMoto Wiki:

DLAMOB: Engine speed sample points: Group characteristic SNM06GKUB
Map values: All are 0 ---> no additional enrichment during overboost
In the map, delta values are entered + 0.1 ---> lamfa = lamfaw – 0.1!


Setting all values ​​to the minimum of 0.0469 does not change afr. Always 1.

Edited a few more maps - KFLBTS, KFZW, KFLDHBN, LDRXN.
While coldly raised the peak values ​​of KFLDHBN - by 6000 rpm now 1 bar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd71jpKhMhk&t=1s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd71jpKhMhk&t=1s)

The afr is not regulated under the KFLBTS map.
The correction is based on the intake temperature. When the temperature is more than 40 ° C - afr 0.75. Probably there is an additional protection map. Have to tune in to LAMFA...

Damn. Big thanks for information. But there is a problem with the axis. I'm confused something...

Configured AFR on LAMFA. Everything works fine. You were right.
Now air consumption is 915-920 kg/h. I think that's about 280hp+.

Post by: vwdenisvw on November 28, 2020, 02:02:31 PM
Purely my speculation.
Volvo ME7 only adjusts afr on the iat. Doesn't even pay attention to EGT. VAG also has protection in the form of a KFLBTS map. And it doesn't work for us ... For what? Therefore, motors die, especially in R from.
A drop in fuel pressure or incorrect readings from the sensors...while the liner))


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on November 28, 2020, 02:20:23 PM
The emission strategy requires the engine to stay at Lambda 1.0 whenever possible.

Thatswhy LAMFA is always 1.0.

KFLBTS is used to protect hardware, but with factors and conditions.
IAT of course, knock, etc. EGT is bad modelled at the early Modells.


Engines die because stupid morons change stuff like exhaust and intercooler and expect ME7 to handle that under any condition. Putting minimum or no money on maintenance or known critical parts along with using cheapest fuel available does the rest.

If engine still not blasted, people with absolutely no knowledge of basic electronics "share" files in the internet and use chinese clones to be "Chiptuners" in their hood ;)

So please don't speculate too much :D

Damn. Big thanks for information. But there is a problem with the axis. I'm confused something...

Configured AFR on LAMFA. Everything works fine. You were right.
Now air consumption is 915-920 kg/h. I think that's about 280hp+.

Here is your DLAMOB axis.

Post by: prometey1982 on November 28, 2020, 11:20:09 PM
Purely my speculation.
Volvo ME7 only adjusts afr on the iat. Doesn't even pay attention to EGT. VAG also has protection in the form of a KFLBTS map. And it doesn't work for us ... For what? Therefore, motors die, especially in R from.
A drop in fuel pressure or incorrect readings from the sensors...while the liner))
TABGBTS in your file has 950 grad value. R motor's TABGBTS has 500 grad value. This is why your KFLBTS map doesn't use for lambda calculations. About R motors. They die due to lowering performance of fuel pumps. Unfortunately Volvo doesn't catch a problem with bad lambda and doesn't switch car to limp mode.

Try to find NMAXDV (engine speed limit at fault of the vehicle speed signal) on this Volvo S80 2.4t 2001. Anyone who can point out the adress for me?
Want it to go down to idle (800 rpm) in the event of a speed signal failure.

The emission strategy requires the engine to stay at Lambda 1.0 whenever possible.

Thatswhy LAMFA is always 1.0.

KFLBTS is used to protect hardware, but with factors and conditions.
IAT of course, knock, etc. EGT is bad modelled at the early Modells.


Engines die because stupid morons change stuff like exhaust and intercooler and expect ME7 to handle that under any condition. Putting minimum or no money on maintenance or known critical parts along with using cheapest fuel available does the rest.

If engine still not blasted, people with absolutely no knowledge of basic electronics "share" files in the internet and use chinese clones to be "Chiptuners" in their hood ;)

So please don't speculate too much :D

I want to say one more thing. When I assembled my motor from spare parts from a junk yard, me7 was able to adapt and working with software from a different engine model. And there is nothing wrong with chinese clones ...

That is bullshit! ME7 and all stock engine control units can not "adapt" to other parts.
It is calibrated to exactly one set of parts.
Different bore, stroke, injectors, exhaust, intake, air cooling is not intended to be adapted.
It has Lambda Adaption to work when sensors get old or minor failures of stock parts.


Because it starts and runs a few days it doesn't mean it will always.


Please read at least something how engine control works before releasing such statements which are fundamentaly wrong.

Well looks like i've gone and done it...Bricked my ECU. Is it possible to hire one of you young lads to see if its fixable as i was born way before the computer age and know just enough to brick my ecu.
I've read this entire thread and many others to get knowledge and have tried many things from what i've read to fix it but no such luck.
i'm getting IMMO code 321 Initiation signal from ecu missing and ECU code 720A immo signal or something don't remember right off hand again an age thing :)
so your gonna ask what i've done so here it is
1-built a bench reading writing unit
2-read all ecu's so i would have orginal files
3-tried to install 2000R ecu data on a 2000xc..didn't work of course
4-write orginal back and now these codes and no start
I know what your thinking but the xc has all the bits and pieces from my R donor car plus extras and i just wanted a starting point...
any help is greatly appreciated thanks in advance....also want to thank all those who have contributed to this thread and this website in the quest for tuning possibilties and perfection.

I normally find an ECU with the same coding on it, copy both files from my original ECU and have a clone that starts the car.
Put your original ECU safe, and then you can play with flashing to your hearts content.
It doesn't matter what order you flash the ECU IMMO/BIN .

Drop your file into a hex editor and look for "a2l" in the file..  eg: 50WRHJ.A2L
That will tell you what bin file you have, then you might find another compatible file with a similar number.
I did the same with a 2.5T to 2004 R bin file.
You should be able to flash the correct bin without corrupting the IMMO at all.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on December 09, 2020, 03:39:11 AM
For 2000 P80 R no other calibration for the software is available.
You will not find compatible SW for XC / Softturbo which is made for R Hardware.

Your eep got corrupted when using other software which incorporate different eep layout.

In later years, especially since MY2005 it is almost always the same software and eep layout.


You have to manually find all calibrations (maps, curves and parameters) in both software versions.
Match them and copy them if fit directly or interpolate when different.
Hint: R software has around 5000 such calibrations.

I would say at least 500 are needed to be changed for your goal since completely different engines.


Good luck

 Like Daniel2345 says , it would be better to use the original Xc bin file and tune it correctly, you could get it to run acceptably with a lot less than 500 map changes.
Do a compare with a stock bin against the ARD C70 bin.. probably only a half dozen changes..lol.

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5kxL/5tbwXgpHt

To use it enter next command in commandline:

VolvoLogger.exe -b 500000 -v example.ecu -o abc.csv

where 500000 is CAN speed. Can be 250000 or 500000
example.ecu is a file with ECU variables. Sample exists in archive.
abc.csv is a file to store logged values.

To stop logging just type Ctrl+C

Here is compiled version of a logger

This very good news!!

I will also post my logger, but for children) The log file from vida is taken as a basis.

Controlled parameters:
- Ambient air temperature (TUMG)(°C)
- Lambda actual value (LAMSONI_W)
- Ignition angle output value (ZWOUT)(grad KW)
- Throttle angle (WDKBA)(%)
- Engine speed (NMOT)(rpm)
- Injection time for valves on bank1 (TI_B1)(ms)
- Air-mass flow HFM (MSHFM_W)(kg/h)
- Intake air temperature, linearised and calculated (TANSLIN)(°C)
- Engine coolant temperature, linearised and calculated (TMOTLIN)(°C)
- Pressure in front of throttle valve of pressure sensor (PVDKDS)(hPa)

For example, the required parameter in log-file looks like this
"...00,80,00,21,CD,7A,E6,10,09,47,00,00..." - this response "ambient air temperature"

You can choose any other parameters from the log file. You just need to know the response code. And make changes to the * .ps1 file
Rename your file on "Log_file.log". Put the log file in the folder with the * .ps1 file and start execution in PowerShell. Each parameter will be output to a separate txt-file. On average 3-4 requests per second.

The script was written for the first time, please do not scold too much)

How long did the TF80SC lastet forcing more than stock torque while driving it on a race track which repeatedly uses gear up and down shifts involving gear one and two? What gearbox oil temperature did you measured on that occasions?

Everyone calm down.
There are two reasons why you would want to limit torque in the 1st and 2nd gear. Wear/chance of breakage and the fact that you will only get wheel spin if you apply more torque than the tires will be able to transfer to the road.


The second one is easy to quantify for an end user. Most road tires don't allow for more than about 1G in acceleration/deceleration on the vehicle they are made for and manufacturers tend to choose tires in this range as first fitment. Getting more grip usually means that tires wear crazy fast and the regular customer is not going to be pleased with that. If you happen to have access to, or are a person writing these ECU calibrations, you would know that the purpose for these limiters by the OEMs is said to be to eliminate wheel spin primarily.

The first one is extremely hard to quantify, as Daniel no doubt tries to illustrate. How can you be sure that gear boxes don't shatter up inside? You do a bunch of math based on material science of the materials used in the design of the gear box. You choose the materials that are cheapest to use, but still are "good enough" for normal road use of the gear box. After that, you do a lot of testing, find out when the gears actually break under certain circumstances to make sure your theoretical calculations and design fit the application of the gear box.
There is a safety margin, it is both calculated and proven with testing in how strong these gears are by the time they are bolted to a mass production vehicle.
The fact that your gear box hasn't blown up yet is statistically irrelevant. Manufacturers would like the number of gear boxes that blow up to be 0, but 1 in 100.000 is totally acceptable. 1 in 10 obviously is not.
Until you test over 1000 gear boxes, or go through all the tests that Daniel describes with a dozen gear boxes or so, you should assume that these gears aren't designed to take much more load than the design of the road car calls for.
Volvo is known for putting in serious safety margins in their older designs. in the nineties they were forced to cut costs because of competition and once Ford took over, there was a lot more cost cutting to increase margins (make profit). These gear boxes are clearly commissioned in that era and we all know that there were many revisions to fix problems with reliability and durability.

TL;DR One or a few end users experiences mean nothing compared to the design and research data put in by Aisin and Volvo. Don't expect the box to be capable of handling more than 1G acceleration on stock tires because that would make it too expensive and outside of the scope the box is used for.

In practice, lifting the torque limit by a lot will only be beneficial for acceleration if you use extra sticky tires. Otherwise you will only generate tire smoke and possibly little bits of gear shattered inside your box.

Hi everyone,

this might be a really stupid question but how effective would it be to find two identical ECU's for the 99 series and then use some scripting to attempt to identify matches between the two bin files.

My thinking in this is to attempt to find the changes between a 2.3T 99 automatic and 2.3T manual in an attempt to find a very cheap and free way to try and do a conversion. I understand the tuning community is a very hard working bunch and i have played around with disassembler for a few 99 auto bins, and am in the process of trying to locate the 99 manual bin. Ill post results if and when this idea comes to fruition, however i would find any input useful.

So far im working on building a log reader from a scrap ecu header from a 99 so the bin should show up here in the next few months.

Everyone calm down.
There are two reasons why you would want to limit torque in the 1st and 2nd gear. Wear/chance of breakage and the fact that you will only get wheel spin if you apply more torque than the tires will be able to transfer to the road.


The second one is easy to quantify for an end user. Most road tires don't allow for more than about 1G in acceleration/deceleration on the vehicle they are made for and manufacturers tend to choose tires in this range as first fitment. Getting more grip usually means that tires wear crazy fast and the regular customer is not going to be pleased with that. If you happen to have access to, or are a person writing these ECU calibrations, you would know that the purpose for these limiters by the OEMs is said to be to eliminate wheel spin primarily.

The first one is extremely hard to quantify, as Daniel no doubt tries to illustrate. How can you be sure that gear boxes don't shatter up inside? You do a bunch of math based on material science of the materials used in the design of the gear box. You choose the materials that are cheapest to use, but still are "good enough" for normal road use of the gear box. After that, you do a lot of testing, find out when the gears actually break under certain circumstances to make sure your theoretical calculations and design fit the application of the gear box.
There is a safety margin, it is both calculated and proven with testing in how strong these gears are by the time they are bolted to a mass production vehicle.
The fact that your gear box hasn't blown up yet is statistically irrelevant. Manufacturers would like the number of gear boxes that blow up to be 0, but 1 in 100.000 is totally acceptable. 1 in 10 obviously is not.
Until you test over 1000 gear boxes, or go through all the tests that Daniel describes with a dozen gear boxes or so, you should assume that these gears aren't designed to take much more load than the design of the road car calls for.
Volvo is known for putting in serious safety margins in their older designs. in the nineties they were forced to cut costs because of competition and once Ford took over, there was a lot more cost cutting to increase margins (make profit). These gear boxes are clearly commissioned in that era and we all know that there were many revisions to fix problems with reliability and durability.

TL;DR One or a few end users experiences mean nothing compared to the design and research data put in by Aisin and Volvo. Don't expect the box to be capable of handling more than 1G acceleration on stock tires because that would make it too expensive and outside of the scope the box is used for.

In practice, lifting the torque limit by a lot will only be beneficial for acceleration if you use extra sticky tires. Otherwise you will only generate tire smoke and possibly little bits of gear shattered inside your box.


Im relaxed :)
Thanks for making things clearer.
It also shows how wide the complexity is in reality.

The bins are generated as / from a specific software project.
Volvo ME7 uses same project for manual and automatic transmission in almost all projects.

After software is created, calibration is done.
So, the same software with same locations is populated with values for manual transmission on the one side, and with values for automatic transmission on the other side.

You only have to find bins with same software project base, then you can compare them directly.
Each difference is a different calibration for automatic / manual.


Same is done for different engine displacement also.



That shows, that a conversion tool is not needed. You just need to find the correct automatic bin since they exist in 95% of the software projects.

Hint: there are at least 6 software projects which where used in 99/2000, so the search might take a while.

Awesome thanks for the info. I was unsure how they did it, and where the compiler made the differences based on optimizations and what not. I have a few contacts in the volvo community so i might see if they would be willing to capture their bins or if i can find some local ones who would be willing to share. As it stands right now, i have a 99 T5 i am slowly restoring, and i have a 2000 M56 waiting for a swap. the 99's use a different bin size i believe, but i have not actually disassembled a 2000 bin yet.

Ill see if i can convince a few contacts to copy and share their bins for some 99 2.3T's. I assume even if the auto and manual bins do not match my software project, i can still co-locate the changes via finding the auto's matches to my bin and then swapping the corresponding manual calibrations.

I am new to the tuning scene and appreciate the patience you guys have.

Auto and manual BINs different by only one bit B_autget. For manual this bit set to 0 and for auto to 1. Also there can be some small calibration changes but it does't matter at the most.
But to find this bit you need to disassemble your BIN or compare your BIN with manual one in which software version is the same. Also this thread contains OLS file for old P80 platform. If you'll read this thread then you easily found it.

Again.

Just because you think you observed a thing doesn't make it valid for everyone.

10ERHJ (late 06 quality update) for instance or any other P80 project has around 4000..5000 Bytes difference between same engine and same emission standard but different transmission.

50WRHJ Tag has been used for all software projects from some MY05 and all MY06 on, four different layouts exist.
Differences are torque converter stall speed maps, reverse engine / transmission speed plausibility maps, Pedal maps, torque monitoring maps, idle torque reserve maps, fault paths along with replacement values, ...

50GPHJ has less differences, but around 1000 Bytes also.

I wouldn't say those are non existing or not important.

I flashed XC70 B5254T2 AW55 with S60R TF80SC software. Injectors and turbo were swapped to 440 and K24. Car runs fine and makes 0-100 in 6.5 secs. Please expain your arguments. All these words about kilobytes of differences just words. But I want to thank you for your criticism. It helps to continue investigations and dig deeper and deeper.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on January 23, 2021, 05:23:10 AM
What does this statement have to do with different calibration of manuel and automatic transmission ecu files?

I think you might don't want or can not understand what the point was: because it works for you in a small window of the possible operating range an conditions, it must not do under other circumstances.

See, the B5254T2 has "high" compression, B5254T4 has "low" compression.
What will affect this the most beneath filling calculations?
I will tell you: knock control.

But, if no knock occurs, maybe because you drive 100 octane and in cold conditions, you will not notice any problems.

Now the other guy in Denver in the summer, facing 40 degrees Celsius and above 1000m altitude running 90 octane will blow his engine.


Different example: maybe your approach for whatever will produce problems when kickdown is engaged.
But your customer didn't use kickdown while testing your software?
You will come here, tell everything works. Next day customer uses kickdown because he needed to and gearbox beaks. Will you come here and tell? I guess not.



The reason im arguing with you: I don't want to explain all this every day four or five times in each message i receive. So come here, tell things you observe as this.
Not as fact you have clarified the last twenty years you worked with those Volvos as others here did (including me).

Good luck with all this

I'm running my B5254T2 engine with 1.4 bar of boost on 98 RON every day. Even on 30 deg celsium. And had no problem with detonation. About kickdown. I flashed s60 t5 with B5244T5 engine and AW55 gearbox. It was my tuned flash based on S60R TF80 software. And again car runs fine. It made 6 secs 0-100 on FWD. No kickdown or all these horrible problems. Also I switched S80 2.9T bin from AT to MT. Because where was no s80 with 2.9T engine with mechanical transmission. And again it works. Even cruise control. And I'll switch one XC90 with 2.9T engine to MT after I'll finish my GUI software for flash. Now owner has a problem with engine limiter on 4000 revs. All these practice. But I understood you and will dig deeper into difference between AT and MT calibrations.

Thanks for the help!

I am working out a deal for a 1999 C70 2.3T ECU. Will use it as the primary one. Im curious though, people have been able to swap the immo chips and even flash them on this forum. If the ETM, ABS, and other modules are non coded (verified through a volvospeed post where someone swapped the DIM, VGLA, Locks, key ring, keys, and ECU), and i am able to reflash the eeprom. Then would the manual ECU itself simply plug into my new system. All the boot loading, program control, etc would be isolated to the ECU itself, and if the immo is reflashed to my setup then would it not act as if it is in its original car?

I would need to verify the ETM and ABS work, but i am unsure if my above understanding is incorrect. Ill probably just test this out in the summer or when it warms up outside.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prometey1982 on January 24, 2021, 11:31:09 PM
I'm not fully understand you. But if you reflash EEPROM in your new ECM module to car's ECM module then immo will be OK. It works for 1mb software. And as far as I know it works for all ME7. You have to read this and other topics again and again.

prometey1982, did you find maps for soft launch control?
Quote
Soft Limiter
Very rudimentary "launch" control can be added via using two RPM limits[47][48]

VNMX (1157E) - The vehicle speed for activating the raised (normal) rev limit. Set this as low at it goes (1.25 km/h) so the launch control shuts off as soon as you start moving off the line.
DNMAXH (16304) - This is the RPM above rev limit when the fuel cut comes on. Tweaking this helps make more boost on the limiter. 50 RPM is a good start.
ITNMXH (16308) - Dwell time under lower limit before activating the upper limit. Set to 0.
NMAX (1630A) - Ends up being the launch RPM. 4500 is a good start.
NMAXOG (16312) - This is the raised RPM limit which becomes the standard limit. Set to your desired redline.
TMOTNMX (16316) - Coolant temp for activating raised (normal) rev limit. Set this at -48 so that you can rev past the low limit while car is warming up.
TNMXH (1631A) - This is the time duration of the raised (normal) rev limit. Set this to its maximum value of 655.3500 seconds. In theory, this may trigger at some point, but nobody has reported such a thing yet.

I found only NMAX

Does anyone know how the BIN & IMMO are interconnected? i would like to flash my R ecu bin to my xc ecu. Can anyone explain or point me in the right direction so i can do my DD.



On P80 in bin is some definition of engine type, this has to match to you transponder box. If you change engine type in bin of ECM you have to change 1 byte in transponder box to the right engine type. There is 1 byte for engine typle like LP turbo, HP turbo, non turbo or diesel engine. Without the change of this byte your engine wont turn on if you try different bins of different  engine types...

Post by: jahko on January 27, 2021, 05:31:28 AM
For most conversions I'd still use the ecu that came in the car, or a clone of it. Compare the closest bins and look at where and what the changes are and do, if the file structure is slightly wrong because you're just swapping from "a" T5a to "a" T5m with slightly different a2l's you could be looking at non starts, comms errors to modules and wiring incompatibilities creating more problems. I haven't done that yet myself so feel free to add or correct anything.

The 4k rev limit is to stop you neutral dropping. I found it in some with a2l's; 20xxxx.a2l but not looked at yours yet, wouldn't that work as your soft launch parameter when switching to manual? ..thinking aloud...

And if you will modify ASM code in next 512 kb then your car won't start due to invalid checksum. Also I slightly speedup this software.

I try to find NMAXDV (engine speed limit at fault of the vehicle speed signal) on this Volvo S60 2.5T 2007.
Anyone who can help me find adress ?
Want it to go down to idle (900 rpm) in the event of a speed signal failure.

Hello. I have read this thread a few times (along with several other VAG related topics and S4wiki), each time understanding a bit more.
Is anyone still checking out this particular topic? Seems like only tumbleweeds are rolling here.

Anyway, I have read my ECU using Galletto 1260 clone in boot mode. I also read another ECU (purchased from a local junkyard by matching ECU number).

My car is 2001 2.4LPT EU FWD manual stock.
Junkyard car seems to have been 2000-2001 2.4LPT US FWD automatic.

I'm sharing my files in case someone finds them useful.

My car feels like it needs some juice so I'm trying to gather information for a safe Stage 1 remap.

For now I'm interested in cloning my ECU. I've managed to write flash file to my spare ECU.
Anyone care to help with cloning immo using ME7eeprom tool? CSpin is 4.7, not sure about Chip select, since reading using 95p08 produces 1KB file which is half empty starting 0x200. The chip itself on the board is 5p08c3 on both ECUs.

UPDATE: The files attached to this post are incorrect. Bad reads due to incorrect boot mode procedure.

My car feels like it needs some juice so I'm trying to gather information for a safe Stage 1 remap.

The boost can be increased to 0.8 bar with standard injectors 831. For a start, it's enough to simply increase the ldrxn values. And adjust a little afr to 0.87-0.9 in lamfa.
For all stock, this will be enough.

CSpins are different on different ecu's. Has to be identical as far as I've worked out but not done much on it. Let me know how you get on as I haven't got a working clone atm.

Thank you jahko. This is very helpful.

I flashed the spare ECU with the file from my car's ECU and also flashed immo eeprom (CSpin 4.7 and Chip 95P08 for both ECUs).
Then I read the spare ECU and compared read files with the files from my car's ECU. The reads are identical.

Unfortunately, with the cloned ECU the engine turns but does not start. No immo notifications on the dashboard. Tomorrow I will put in the clone, connect Dice and check the issues.

I've added possibility for lambda > 1.0 in my BIN. I'm running on 1.1 lambda on low load.

Hello.

This is my first post so greetings everyone :)

I am also working on lean lambda "mod" on my 2002 S60 2.3 T5.
I'v already decompiled my bin in IDA and i am comparing it with FR and V70R 99 damos.

Can I ask what variables and maps did you change to achieve lean lambda?

I am struggling to get it above 1.0. My bin version has only LAMFA and LAMBTS controlling it. But it is not working (or i am missing something).
I know that later volvo bins have also LAMKR, LAMWL and LAMRLMIN functions.
I will eventually figure it out how to force this ECU to drive lean but maybe you have some "tips" that will help?

Hello and welcome keichi. :)
May I ask how did you learn IDA specifics? I managed to load Volvo bins to IDA properly. But if I'm talking sense, I'm struggling converting data bytes to functions/code sections so I could analyse them.
Good luck finding the info you need. There are several topics in NefMoto regarding lambda>1. Try googling "nefmoto lambda above 1" if you haven't already.


Coming back to my ECU clone topic - I think the spare ECU is dead/corrupted. I've put it back into the car and then ran Vida to check the issues.
CEM does not see the ECU at all and therefore reports CEM-1A62 csc. Too bad that I haven't checked it before flashing so I can't really know whether I bricked it or it was already dead when I bought it. Boots fine though - was able to read/write flash without problems. I guess I need a new spare ECU.  :-\

May I ask how did you learn IDA specifics? I managed to load Volvo bins to IDA properly. But if I'm talking sense, I'm struggling converting data bytes to functions/code sections so I could analyse them.

Loading BIN to IDA and then disasembling is the easy part :)
Understanding whats going on in the code is much worse - very time consuming.

Make sure you load it with proper DPPs and mem:
DPP0 - 0x4
DPP1 - 0x5
DPP2 - 0xC0
DPP3 - 0x3
RAM - 0x300000

To decompile you basically just press P then CTRL+U on every line with code.
P decompiles and CTRL-U jumps to next not resolved code.
I did a script in AutoIt that just press P and CTRL-U in loop :)

Code:
WinWaitActive("IDA - ")

While True
  Send("p^u")
  Sleep(1)
WEnd

But it must be done only on parts with code, not maps and data!
On 99V70R bin i got some code at the begining, then second part 0x8200-0xBFFF and main huge part at 0x22000
But on my 02S60T5 bin second part is at 0x9000-0xBFFF and main at 0x28000. So i assume it may be different on every version of software.

Then you need to have at least basic knowledge of assembly language. You need to understand how data is manipulated in registers, division, multiplication, conditional jumps (C166 Instruction Set
Manual is must have) and so on. But the most important is understanding memory addressing. This processor use 2 types of addressing. With Data Page Pointers (DPPs) and extended overrided mode (with EXT comand). You need to understand BIT operations (ORs, ANDs, shifting etc.) because its everywhere in the code and in the addressing.

How to start finding maps? Find some basic obvious maps like ignition or LDRX and then search for their addresses in the code. Then analyze the code and compare with FR to figure out unnamed variables and start naming them. If you identify variable, press X on it and see references to it. Then go to some reference and figure out what is going on and try to match function with FR. As soon as you notice a pattern you will reveal more variables in that function (by looking to FR). The more maps and variables you identify the further you go into code. Its like puzzles :)

The most annoying for me was translating addresses. For example. My LAMFA map address is 0x22140. But in code its addressed as page=0x8 and offset=0x2140. Its extended addressing mode. To translate it to absolute address you have to make bitwise operation (P SHL 14) OR (O AND 0x3FFF). I did a simple calculator app in delphi to convert those addresses back and forth. Maybe i will post it here if anybody wants. Some addresses may be also refereed in DPP mode (like my KFMIOP 0x2214 as DPP -> translates to 0x12214) and some just directly as absolute binary location.

I hope it helps to start, but i think there's no other way than taking a lot of time to practice by yourself.

Ok. I figured out how to force lean drive.
One word constant in the LAMDSK function must be changed (stock 0x1000 = lambda 1.0).
Its used as base lambda when no other lambda modifiers are used and as upper limit when other lambda modifiers are active (algorithm gets the lowest off all modifiers as target).
When idling LAMFA and LAMBTS are not used so target lambda will be hard coded. I set it on 15,7 AFR (~1,07 lambda = 0x1117).
But as soon as you slightly step on the accelerator ECU switch off idle condition flag and LAMFA and LAMBTS comes into play (on my ECU stock TABGBTS is set to -47,50 so LAMBTS is always used).
I also switched off catalytic converter by setting CWKONABG to zero. As a result i don't have cat diagnosis (AFR jumps on idle from time to time) and whats the most important - cat heating.
As it turned out cat heating was retarding timming and enriching lambda a lot from time to time for example in traffic when there was no much load (it was smth like DPF burning on diesels). That was causing increased fuel consumption.

Summing up, this is the most valuable mod in my opinion :) After test drive i actually couldn't believe how my fuel economy improved. In the city where i was struggling to get below 13l now i am getting around 10,5. On the highway it was hard do get to 9l and now i achieve 7,5l !!! This is just insane how much fuel stock car is wasting on low loads! All that because of saint catalytic and saint ecology :) Probably my car will not have the best emissions now but flashing stock LAMDSK before MOT is no problem :)

Happy to hear about your successful progress on lambda > 1 Keichi. This is some really useful info you've shared, thanks. I haven't had time to sit down and dig into IDA yet.

I have finally cloned my ECU and immo, spare ECU is currently in my car. I've adjusted LDRXN map slightly (~0.65) bar boost and flashed the file. Driving my car feels a little different now, I could compare it to 2.5T. I will try to add some more boost in the future but for now it's enough. Logging in VIDA sucks.

The files I've attached in my earlier post are corrupted due to incorrect boot mode procedure. Being all happy and silly I didn't even think to try and run the checksum test. After a little brainstorming I've noticed that all the flash files start with the same code at the beginning, independent from software/year so I've compared those with my files. There was a visible pattern of zeroes in the code and that caught my attention. I re-read my ecu properly, flashed spare ECU, put it in the car and voila, success!

And since spare ecu can not be re-read since it was overwritten, I'm sharing just one file now.

It's really easy. Same procedure as you would boot for reading/writing flash.

I've downloaded ME7eeprom tool from here:
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=1168.0
If you prefer GUI, there's a version of it somewhere in the thread. You have to use ME7eeprom v1.40.

I've used the following parameters to read immo data (check attachment). Make 2-3 reads and compare the reads just in case.
For writing data, same parameters except -w instead of -r.

ME7gui somehow works slowly when cmd opens, so I copy cmd code from ME7gui, paste in the code to a cmd window. Then boot my ECU - connect gnd to pin 24, count to 6-7 secs and just after releasing gnd from pin I press ENTER.

When writing, ME7eeprom writes the immo data properly but verification always fails. Don't mind that and just test the ECU in the car.
I also re-read the immo data from cloned ECU for comparison.

Soft_launch (Soft Limiter)

Information taken from here

http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=151.0

CWNMAXMD - Codeword for RPM limiter (We already use 1).
VNMX - The vehicle speed for activating the normal rev limit. Set this as low at it goes (1.25 km/h).
DNMAXH - This is the RPM above rev limit when the fuel cut comes on. Tweaking this helps make more boost on the limiter. I use 15 RPM.
ITNMXH - Dwell time under lower limit before activating the upper limit. Set to 0.
NMAX - Ends up being the launch RPM. I use 3200 RPM.
NMAXOG - This is the raised RPM limit which becomes the standard limit. Set to your desired redline. Standard value 2.3T5 6650 RPM.
TMOTNMX - Coolant temp for activating raised (normal) rev limit. Set this at -48 so that you can rev past the low limit while car is warming up.
TNMXH - This is the time duration of the raised (normal) rev limit. Set this to its maximum value of 655.3500 seconds (ff).

It remains to find only normal tires))

Overboost+dlamob

My friend and I still managed to activate this function)
The following maps were found:

GWPLDOB - gradient of angle of pedal to start overboost (2000 %/s)
KFLDRXO - Delta load (rL) at overboost condition
TABLDOBN - regulation time for overboost
TLDOBAN - Processing time for overboost active
TLDOBN - Lock time for overboost
KFFLDEO - Factor for boost pressure correction to overboost value by knock control
DLAMOB - Delta lambda during overboost

Basic maps for activation:

To begin with, I returned the LDRXN map to standard values.

GWPLDOB - The stock is set at 2000% / s, i.e. this function is unrealistic to activate. I set 120 %/s. This does not accidentally trigger overboost.
KFLDRXO - Here we adjust the increase in load. This is the drlmaxo value added to rlmx_w.
TABLDOBN - Set the time to 40 seconds.
DLAMOB - adjusted for a afr of 0.85-0.87.

For myself, I made overboost activation from 3000 rpm.

Judging by FR, you can leave it unchanged (see GGVFZG).

I checked boost tuning from this thread http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=12352.0title=
This approach works. Also I've checked CAN message for writing ECM memory. Message format is 7A BA XX YY ZZ DD
where XX is higher byte YY is medium and ZZ is lower. DD is a data. Tested with vsldtv variable which is used for ldvtm calculation when B_ldsafw flag is set.

I'll write automatized boost tuning for my software. And maybe freeware version. Alogorithm looks very easy for me. Just set KFLDRL table to zero. And increase regions in which actual boost level less that requested. Then new KFLDRL table can be flashed into ECM. But KFLDRL values can be selected from the memory. This table can be copied into memory at ECM startup.

I've checked work with memory table. I've put KFLDRL table into unused operative memory and changed lookup of this table. On the ECU startup this table copies from the flash. CAN message for changing memory is also tested. So I'll implement next algorithm:
1. Create table of same size as KFLDRL with sign values.
2. Fill this table to 0.
3. Log pvdkds_w, pssol_w, nmot_w and ldtvr_w.
4. If pvdkds_w < pssol_w by some delta then increase 4 neighboring cells of the table from step 1 by some value. Maybe this value should be splitted between these 4 cells.
5. If pvdkds_w > pssol_w by some delta then decrease 4 neighboring cells.
6. If some cell of the table is bigger than some threshold value then this KFLDRL cell is increased. Also the cell's value is dropped to zero.
7. If some cell of the table is lower than some threshold value then this KFLDRL cell is decreased. Cell's value is dropped.
8. To prevent algorithm from fluctuations all 0 crosses can decrease KFLDRL's change value for steps 6 and 7. For example divide delta by 2. Or just increase threshold values.

If everything is OK new KFLDRL table can be recorded into new flash. This process also can be automatized. And checksum calculation too.

Also I've checked CAN message for writing ECM memory. Message format is 7A BA XX YY ZZ DD
where XX is higher byte YY is medium and ZZ is lower. DD is a data.

Is it possible using 7A BA message to replace NMAX value? (rpm limit for LC, or something else)

NMAX is a constant inside flash. Only RAM can be changed. So you should change your program to work with RAM. On start just init RAM variable with NMAX from flash and later this value can be changed.

Without looking at your file.

It is calibrated to use NMAXGA, a curve over gear points. First point is 4000 U/min, others have same value of 6200 or a little more. Your NMAX Value is ignored.

Good luck searching :)

Yes, you can. Of you can write own tool for sending and receiving CAN messages. I have own tool for it. But it's a part of my GUI tool for flashing/logging. So it's not open source.

I've done test run. I works. My Boost PID maps aren't good but car runs good. Just need some polish of KFLDIMX and KFLDRQ* maps. Or implementation of boost precontrol from this thread http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=12352.0

I tested 5120 hack with boost precontrol. It works more or less fine. Just need some tuning of KFLDRL map in high regions. And unfortunately can't do more test runs at the moment due to snow. I've got 1200 kg/h of air on my hybrid turbo.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prometey1982 on November 12, 2021, 09:22:21 AM
Also I added patch to get KFLDRL values from the memory. It helps to tune KFLDRL map online without ECM reflashing. On startup KFLDRL maps copied from the flash into memory. And then values are taken from the memory region. Memory can be modified by Write memory by address CAN message. So by log values of current and targed boost KFLDRL map can be optimized. This process can be automatized. My tool has almost everything. Just need to change of sending and receiving messages mechanism. To allow send messages from multiple sources for example by using some message queue. And process CAN responses by subscribers. Receiving can be done by polling or requesting status of inboud queue if this is supported by J2534 driver.

To use it enter next command in commandline:

VolvoLogger.exe -b 500000 -v example.ecu -o abc.csv

where 500000 is CAN speed. Can be 250000 or 500000
example.ecu is a file with ECU variables. Sample exists in archive.
abc.csv is a file to store logged values.

To stop logging just type Ctrl+C

Yes.  I saw you did that.  I would prefer a manual swap but I'm having difficulty finding a complete kit for the swap, in good condition, for a reasonable cost.  I've been thinking about the TF80 swap for the greater torque capacity and extra gear. I have a 2005 XC70 that I would like to perform the swap on.  Are there any CEM changes required or it mainly a matter of swapping TCUs and wiring?  Any changes that need to be made in the ECU?  I haven't pulled my bin from my ECU yet but I have all the equipment required to do so.

BUT, car gives me a Fuel cut-off att 6000rpm, sometimes a bit earlier.. If I disconnect the MAF (I know big no but Im desperate) it behaves better but not perfekt, oviusly..

So, I really need someone to help me do the load / tourqe maps for me because thats over my knowlige.. I shall sell the car so if lowering the boost are nesseserly thats more then okey.
I pay in advace, just tell me the price.

Please se atteched file, I have like 15 different but this one are the one that works best so far.
I have map packs and also some damos files for my software number if that is for any help.

i personally don't rescale KFLDRL and KFLIMX unless the car has a aftermarket wastegate. if the car is using one ive had good luck with the LDPRID tool shared by PRJ i believe it was. It can be picky on the data you input but seems to work well.


the method i use for cars utilizing the factory wastegate is provided in the .ols ive attached. i have found it runs off the map in KLFIMX then is DC is controlled Via KFLDRL. a few down falls I've found with this method is KFLDRX is utilized as a load cap rather than a desired value. This will piss off the I factor so i will Numb it using a few maps in the LDRPID folder. I personally like to use this method as it will maintain as factory until you exceed your set boost pressure using KFLIMX.(http://)

Thanks.
tmotlin for your software has 0x30163A address.
Looks like you have 950cc injectors and nonstock turbo. And nonstock intercooler too)
Why did you lower your load request after 5700 rpm?
Which fuel are you use? I see 6 degress knock retard on high RPMs.

I lower the load request with stock turbos to chase the boost falling off in the high rpm.

The log with semi feed forward is using a hybrid k24. I had lowered ignition timing after this log to make up for the knock this was using 91 octane from the states.

The log with feed forward using the ldrpid tool is using a old majestic turbo that was offered ages ago

I tested 5120 hack with boost precontrol. It works more or less fine. Just need some tuning of KFLDRL map in high regions. And unfortunately can't do more test runs at the moment due to snow. I've got 1200 kg/h of air on my hybrid turbo.

what was your approach on using this tool. ive usualy had really good luck copy and pasting KFLDRL with some smoothing by hand. i start by setting CWMDAPP to 08, Then logging a fixed dc from 30-90 percent above 70 percent throttle in KFLDRAPP. once complete the logs i set them in a seperate folder, open the folder using LDRPID tool. i then find where the turbo makes desired boost pressure Usually around 4000rpm with a hybrid k24) and copy 8 sets of HPA that the tool loads from your logs at that rpm where you had noticed from before, pasting them into the HPA axis of KFLIMX, smoothing them to be absolutely linear. once complete i change the precision to 0 ( the tool wont allow any decimals) copy the HPA axis over to LDRPID tool. doing the same with set wgdc to get the z axis of KFLDIMX ensuring its absolutely linear and bring these values into the tool, now its time for the KFLDRL axis i copy over the 1x8 of what populates KFLDIMX and paste into Percemt charge of KFLDRL and ensure that ill have the resolution i desire in the last two colums ( i personaly like to keep a 5 percent change in the last 2) then i press generate, copy and paste into KFLDRL. then using 3d i pick up all the holes and smooth it by hand. before flashing i study the set wgdc logs and ensure that the KFLDRL i have set wont spike boost terribly.

Gday! Have any of you guys installed aftermarket cams and needing to tune for it? I'm about to install Stage 2 newman cams on my mate's 2006 S40 T5 (I know, not exactly ME7) and was told I need to tune for it? I'm aware idle will be lumpy and might need massaging but afaik, it should run as is. Car is running Elevate Stage 3. If yes, what maps do you usually tinker with? Not a lot of posts on here about it unfortunately.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on May 25, 2022, 05:59:56 AM
There is a Volvo ME9 Thread somewhere around.

Think what is affected by different cams.
Mostly cylinder filling without boost.
So look for the relevant functions and follow the ml path, not rl for a first try.

To have an advantage, change ignition timing an knock reaction accordingly.

Good luck

Thanks. I did find an ME9 thread but didn't want to resurrect it as it seems to be a dead thread with only 3 posts.

I'll have a look at the FR and see which way ml leads. Initially I was just planning to work on FKKVS and tweak IRL & IOP and the timing maps. Do you know if the VVT maps needs to be tinkered with?

This is versioned OLS file with 50WRHJ software with many experimental changes.

Also I finished work on GUI software for flashing and logging ME7. But it's not a free tool.

Is your GUI tool able to do Volvo ME9 as well? I'm very much interested with this. Can you PM me details?

Hi, greetings from Hungary, I am new to the world of Volvo and petrol tuning. Before that I had a diesel bmw, I was able to learn how to tune it very well. I have been reading the forum for 2 weeks and have already learned a lot, I have tried to find all the relevant maps for my car, which is an s60 2.5t. Unfortunately I only have a v70r damos file and I'm trying to find these maps from it. I would ask for your help in finding two maps. One is KRKTE, which I may have found on memory address 0x19E42. however, I think the factor is not good, in the R damos file, 0.001777777778, and with this factor I get 0.0480ms /%. The other map I can't find is KFTVSA. I will upload my own file along with the maps I have already found, I hope someone can help with these two issues. Thanks in advance! Sorry for my bad English.

Thank for the reply. I tried, but I thought it was too little value. (0.0266ms /%). The R file contains 0.0800ms /%, but it contains larger injectors. I have 315ccm injectors in mine, as far as I know. If I calculate correctly, it should be about ~ 0.1175ms /%.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

Try it at 16 bit sir and you will have the correct number for brown injectors ..0.947 ..tick LSB.

I dissassembled you file and can confirm that KRKTE address is 0x237B2 so value with multiplier is 0,094696

KRKTE for s60r with 2.5L engine is 0,07235

Why do you think that you injectors have 315cc? From my point of you brown Volvo injectors have 350cc or something like this.
Also I looked into 40GPHJ software from B5254T2 engine and KRKTE also equal to 0,09470


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: thedrill on June 02, 2022, 09:41:29 AM
Browns are known to be 315cc.. like the early reds... blues and whites are 350cc


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on June 02, 2022, 11:19:13 AM
No, since it depends on fuel pressure.

With ME7 always 3,8 Bar base pressure, so browns are 340,maybe 350. Blue 395.

Different story on cars with 3,0 Bar like 850/V70 until MY98

At the risk of being nosey.. Is Contrast (Gustav) alright?

Losing him feels like losing a giant piece of the P2 Volvo Community. So many brilliant discoveries, and a tune (actually) worth paying for.,

Entire USA is forced to go to Hilton, IPD, or other lesser tuner.. which are borderline scams.

People are starting to get anxious, as to how they will tune the vehicles. You can dump thousands in a car, but without a tune, its just a collection of parts.

Several guys east coast are going (really) big turbos, and when I asked them, they are unsure who will be able to tune the vehicle. It's getting so sticky, MaxxECU has been ironing out standalone ECUS for them.
(Side question: Haldex modules cracked, yet? Anyone experiment updating to Gen4?)

While I plan to grind my way through the Volvo weeds, having learned the Nefmoto/Tunerpro in a couple weeks, I can only hope there is enough momentum to keep this Volvo ME7 community going in a public sense. Reverse Engineering included. I want AL/NLS and map switching with my 4C buttons.

 I have absolutely no interest creating tunes on a commercial market, or impeding anyone market-space, and am speaking with emotion.

Yes, Urbas Gustav is Contrast... I did not know he retired already??? I was just chatting with him on IG a while ago.
I too went the DIY way as my previous tuner was too busy (took 6 months to make a "final" tune that is half-baked). Unfortunately, Volvo community is just a small percentage compared the VAG owners so not a lot of people able to collaborate. We don't even have a decent logger (that is free, or even affordable anyway).

KFLDIMX rpm axis starts from 0x14FAA. Look on this from different POV. Every axis and Bosch map has size. First element is size of the axis. At the address 0x14FA8 you can see 16 word value. It's size of the next map. Which contains data for KFLFIMX's rpm axis.

Prometey,
Keeping tools and definitions secret - means nobody cares about these cars, or your races.
Like a Snake, Eating it's Tail. You are def(eating) your own interests.

Kinda like how none of you (genuinely) care about the community. Sure, play it off with your breadcrumbs


How about a few A2L/Damos for some Volvo ECUs?
ASAM MCD-2 Standards

I know many of you share/steal/trade the files behind PM in order to fuck over the end-user and perpetuate scams.
Let's see it.
Learn Altruism.



Since you wont be taking the Free Giveaway S60R car, what incentive do you require to help the COMMUNITY in releasing finished compiled tools?.
(Not VIN locked garbage, or 3+ cmd line exes) Or would that take too much out of your income, and open you up to competition. (Who might be a better tuner than you?!)

I genuinely believe you fear any competition, and believe you are a worse tuner than, and fear obsolescence. I believe you know there are better tuners out there, and by gatekeeping, you prevent them and keep yourself comfy and isolated. Same with all the other Volvo Tuners. A Clique of embarrassed and incompetent tuners, too afraid to open up the market to skilled individuals.

By the way, not even Bosch calibrates these cars single-handedly.
They are Embedded systems adjusted over periods of times by development teams.
Not individual greedy scammer producing junk hacks like we see Everybody doing here..

I didn't see any profit from you on this forum. I can give you dissassembled software and OLS which compatible with one of your car if you will made speed density conversion for Volvo ME7 and will share your work for community. I made enough for Volvo community. Free logger and flasher. Almost working 5120 hack for restyling Volvo software. Why can't you start from yourself? I spend more that 1000 hours for all it. Spend your 1000 hours for the community. Instead of such bullshit.

Promatey he just wants things now and doesn’t want to put in any effort. Your damos  you had posted a few weeks ago for your xc90 had helped me find a bunch of things.  Also big find for fan control I was really in need. After my 5120 hack my fan stopped working and a 5 percent adjustment to operating thresholds really helps

This kid isn’t worth any energy. I reached out to him directly after his pleas for help in his first post but after his warning him over his personal insults to me I blocked him. If he spends half the time moving forward in tuning as he does with his attempts at insulting he would be dialed. He would rather destroy what good we have here than be productive. He’s just as much of a problem that he says you and I are.

He keeps mentioning that I’ve scammed him but I’ve not taken money from him or such a thing. He’s just mad I refused to spoon feed someone who isn’t willing to put a few hours in on his own

@SparkyR
Looks like he's big child)

Ok, return to tuning. One good tuner made couple of dyno runs with different exhaust VVT positions. And he got next results. So I started dig into VVT maps for Volvo software with 2 VVTs. It's not easy. Found about 20 maps for it. But recognized only 2 for intake VVT on wkrma retard. I'll log maps output to recognize it. Anyway I have access to old S80 with 2.8TT engine and exhaust VVT and fully defined VVT maps. So will tune exhaust VVT position to check tuner results.

It's not ME7, it's VEMS ECU. And I don't know turbo model. It's not about numbers and turbos but VVT timing tuning.

bhalme SparkyR S60Rr S60RXtreme : You are Way more of a Kid than Me. You are 23? Mirroring my insults.. Riding under your Daddy.  You are also a lot fucking dumber with very little life experience. Selfish, and overall Lame.

You Lie. And Steal (peoples money). There is no changing my mind about the quality of person you are. I don't lie. And I don't steal.

I think it's funny you (suddenly) rubbing E-peens with Prometey, while never posting on this forum prior. Collecting as its flushed down the toilet bowl. Huddling together like scared animals.

@ Prometey
"Some time ago I thought about publushing memory addresses and map packs for different Volvo software which I dissassembled but Vollmer showed that it's a bad idea. Very stupid man. Idiot."

You are so full of shit, your eyes are brown. Blaming me for your past decisions makes no sense, whatsoever. Don't put your selfishness on me.
Are you the "Very stupid man. Idiot"?

You, and all the other Volvo Cunts ^^ act the same way. Not my problem you don't like hearing about your outward appearance.
Pat each other on the back all you want. The truth remains that you are arrogant, selfish, and not community oriented.

"I continue work on 5120 hack. Car works on this version (5120 hack3) but throttle reaction too jerky. Looks like not all pressure constans scaled propertly. And unfortunatelly there is not other person to help me with this work. No community at all((("

^^Aww Look at you.... Wonder why. 
How about bragging about yourself? Shooting yourself in the foot.

(That is Prometey's post, btw, for everyone who hasn't read the 100 pages of this thread)

Look at your "1000 hours" garbage. Get mad at me for it?? LOL
At least you are 4X faster than your above Cronie who took "4000 hours". Good thing you didn't wait for him!
You can't help me, because nobody helped you? Who hurt you? Daddy drinks too much? Momma is a whore?
Grow the fuck up. Take responsibility for your own actions and decisions. You are WEAK for allowing My words to control Your actions.

I "made you be unhelpful",
What else can I make you do?
My "little puppet"?






@Dragon and Sashka! Absolutely great additions to the forums!
I will save them in a repository I am creating to help organize the Volvo community.
Your negative rep makes me laugh. Being an asshole pays off, don't it?
Easy to sleep when you know you are doing the right thing and helping others.
Bit of a Robinhood vibe. 

@Dragon. . Who made that definition file?  Or where did it come from?
It can not have been made by a single person. .. Very interested in it's source, and other variations. Post them up if you have them!



@ Everyone else.
I am working with a local programmer, fresh out of school. Ukrainian. Brownie points there... "I support current things"..
To create an easy to use GUI that can read/write/checksum correct, and other basic eeprom functions via the Dice unit. I will be incorporating as many open source projects to the All-in-one utility in an easy to use interface.
I would Like CEM reprogramming and Cluster adjustments to be available, as well as someday communicating to the haldex controller interface. I haven't went that far, but Vd Veer might be able to help. I also would like to add functionality to the now (mostly) useless center screen found on some models.

Aiming to exceed the quality of the Nefmoto flasher utility, more like VCDS, while providing an attached repository of currently available definitions files and basic getting started information.
I will then smear it all over the web and back and work on revisions until I no longer can, or someone else steps up to the plate.

I am sure Prometey has a similar tool already well done, but he doesn't care, and prefer people waste their time in solitude.
True Unit.

20+ years experience tuning at the age of 28?!? Brandon little you must have started tuning in the womb

You can say anything you want about my family. But my dad had raised someone who will continue his legacy and work hard instead of someone who will attempt to insult people over the internet. You can say all the words you want and it won’t effect me or my lifestyle so I suggest saving your self the humility before you make yourself look stupid.

Jens Ivarsson is the leak!!!!

Vatlab VOLVO NO. Jens Ivarsson     in the bin file in the OLS

Gonna have to ask him for a few more files!!!

Is this him?

https://se.linkedin.com/in/jens-ivarsson-99a6b6b1/

"No tuner writes the software "using the very same tools that you will find in Volvo's own engine development shop". You cannot use the tools Volvo uses to modify a binary content. MTE software has the same Vatlab VOLVOID tags as the original software which its based on, meaning that the modifications aren't made to the original project data, but to the compiled binary data.

Volvo uses ETAS tools to write OEM software to their cars. Their tools use "raw data" to write the calibrations (99,98% of which is untouched when modifying a map as what usually we call a "remap"), and then compile that to a binary file which is then flashed into the ECM. A project file is usually some hundreds of megs, which is then compiled by ETAS to a 512k or 1024k file (depends on the engine/ECU type). Tuners work with this binary data, and Volvo's own tools cannot be used to work with that data."

Probably leave the guy alone. I am sure he is not the leak but somebody who somehow got ahold of the data. Or do you think, the people who's name is on the various Funktionsrahmen for Volvo ME7 are leaks either?

In terms of what software was used inside Volvo to tune ME7, ME9, Diesel etc., it is called VAT2000. In order to work with it you need a project file for your particular software version, e.g. in my case 5XQH.

A project file is about 2 MB in ZIP and decompressed about 20 MB. See screenshots.

Uhhh.. Yeah.. I do. And I can bother those people for as long as I want.

Are you here to share files? Or Brag and Gatekeep?
There's clearly a problem around here.

Is the Volvo FR buried in this 100 pages of crap? Or somewhere else "out there"?


Why don't you post what you have relevant, that can help this community along in a productive way.

However "cool" your post is.
The information contained within is Useless.
We know the compiled file structure is different depending on the software version. It is usually defined by the A2L.
Who cares how big the files are..?

What is your point?

Release a cracked copy of VAT2000 and all your projects, so we can tune these things properly instead of unscrambling an egg cooked by a moron with software written by a dead man.

There is no money price for this. As asshole Vollmer said I'm expecting community collaboration. Still expecting. But there was no collaboration yet. So you must prove your serious intentions by actions not words. Only in this case I'll open sources of the GUI tool with logging, reading and flashing.

I have something legit with a license given to me by the provider, but after opening it in dotpeek decompiler it's just a fork of Hilton's tuning suite which isn't available anymore.
which is stolen from dream3r and monetized. r.i.p

it allows me to log, etc ..
the reading just encrypts the output.

You guys can't be more scared of competition.
You neg rep him cause he wants to try??

Do you think this helps your business at all?

You want real negative rep?

I can be absolutely sure when I say SparkyR Halme S60R S60RXtreme has lost several tunes worth "thousands" of dollars as a result of his bullshit and pedantic assholery around here, and on FB. ( I should post some of his FB posts, they are fucking Entertaining!!) Might as well say: "Just calibrate the turbo encabulator to the proper operating frequency and your differential nodes should be calculated". Because you are clearly incapable of whatever nonsense you suggest.
I have at least 3 people I strongly turned away, and can't wait to steer more people away.

I will speak out against his work until the day I die, and will encourage others to do the same. Me, and others who are reading this thread, operate some of the more involved Volvo modifying groups. There is a large amount of enthusiasts that will know to stay well clear of anything you do

Great name you are building for yourself!!

this is hiltons tuning suite that he used to offer on his page, i believe it was "self tuning"  i assume he had a version for other businesses aka shem etc.... and he made a version with their logo etc... but its all hiltons shit on the back end along with his corruption.

if you go throught the code it always links to volvotuners.com which forwards you to hiltons page. and even in the dotpeek jetBeans debugger i have it shows it as hiltons tuning suite etc....
he doesnt have it available on his page anymore and i assume there's a transaction or something for how many licenses they can supply etc....

long story short, hilton is a big reason to why we're stuck like this.

all he did was take dream3r's software work through the dice. and then put it behind some license shit and encryption bs

Your flasher has no Help, instruction sheet, or obvious read function in the source code.

If all you have to offer is that shit on your github, well then you don't have much to offer at all.

Actually his software is very use full - at least for me, and i appreciate that he shared this on github.

It doesn't have reading capability but i think it is the least important feature.
What are the most important are flashing and logging, the latter being absolutely the most important.

I read my ECU only once outside the car using cheap MPPS cable in boot mode.
Then i never took it out again. Every next flashing was done with Prometey's software thru OBD with DICE (cheapest chine clone). And i made almost 80 flashings with it already.

All the tuning process is flashing - hitting the road and logging, going back to home, opening logs, analyzing, making changes to the bin, reflashing, hitting the road and so on.
Sometimes i do modifications on the road (but i don't feel comfortable flashing on the side of the road far from home despite having backup stock ECU in the car glove box :))
There is no "reading" unless you want to start tuning next car.

Of course there is also decompiling the software in IDA involved to find maps and variables but it's other story (you have to have good software developing background to understand what is going on - even to compile prometey's software from github you have to be familiar with visual studio, c language etc.) This is actually "open source" knowledge (IT skills) but no one will teach you programming with few post on the forum :) When you have this knowledge - compiling and using his software is very easy and there is no need for "instruction sheet" or "help" :)

Without some simple GUI this software is not friendly for "not IT" people but making GUI is extra work. Who will do it for free? :)

So i don't agree Prometey didn't bring anything to the community. For me quite contrary:)

Prometey is a russian tuner who doesn't have many people to appreciate his work or efforts,
so he brags on English speaking forums, not realizing that culture can impact your outcome more than specific words.
 Nothing more.. He hasn't really contributed much anywhere, except bitch about his own behaviors (lack of contributions)
He uses a dead man's (dream3r) code, that Hilton has made into a fucked up pyramid scheme.
He hasn't made a thing.

Now he goes over to MathewsVolvoSite where he can align himself with other unhelpful and unproductive POS's to produce more licensed abandonware to fuck people over.

SparkyR S60rr S60rxtreme bhalme keeps diggning himself into a deeper hole.
His public reputation in the tuning community is falling faster than a comet, I happily turned several people away from him yesterday.
"You ready for the tune" LOL

He clearly is riding under Shitbird Hilton's wing, and has almost Zero Capabilities of himself. ..
Cant read/write his own files
Can't define his own files
Can't add any code patches or ASM
Can't decrypt his read.
Can't tell anyone else how to tune!
Incompetent and worthless!
Makes it other's fault.

So glad I did my "Research".. Maybe you should watch some movies and see how the villains get started?


Why I will NEVER buy licensed software:

I was raised during the DRM era.
I used to mow lawns to make money, to buy games... only for the company to get bought out, or out of business,
someone to shut down the server, kill my account and make the game worthless.

Or perhaps I upgraded my graphics card, and now my games wont run. I have to contact each of the publishers asking for new license file, many to refuse.
This is NOT freedom. This is NOT ownership. This is a scheme.

This Volvo community is fucking Abysmal.

Who will help this cat for free?

A Volvo owner would kick it and proceed to buy their cat at home new toys.

It doesn't fit..
This is easier.
This is the code from the Volvo programmer DLL thats handed around here by Hiltons cronies.

Come on people.. This is getting pathetic.

Here is more half baked CEM software as well... Posted on Youtube... *great*

Just give the Hilton et al flashing tool to someone who can disassemble .NET and let them remove the licensing portion. I had that done by a programmer friend and it works just fine for my personal purpose.
So I guess you can pay an Indian guy 20 bucks to patch the file for you and share it with the community, since you are all about sharing stuff for free.

Reading and flashing solved. Now complain about something else.

So you advocate stealing a "commercial" tool.. but not a making community driven one..?
Nor can you release it..?
I posted the CAN protocol for several functions easily readable in the DLL code. 


Why aren't the DIMs and CEMs integrated into these tools?

I know there are people out there who can do a better job than myself.
If you don't want a car for writing a program, how much money do you want?
To release it to the community forever and ever to patch and revise.

Nice. At the moment my car isnt running (got rear ended and totaled out) so ill need to swap everything to a new shell but my precision was a tad too big (full boost 5000 rpm) so hopefully your vvt contribution can help me get it up faster!

hopefully within the month ill have it together

i can post a few logs later, never got a dragy run in.

I heard from Robert Hilton.
(Reach out and use the phone/ email..?)

He says Nobody,
not SparkyR Bhlame S60rr S60RXtreme,
nor Shemtek,
nor anyone else is licensed to use his software with the VEB encryption.

So Shemtek is using a illegally stolen software, and so is SparkyR.. and Contrast.. Who SpakyR claims is a Horrible scammer who stole thousands
 (Yet SparkyR says he "Learns" from him..) Nuff said there. You are ALL snakes in the Grass...

Can't you losers make your own programs..? Or release your cracked shit.
You're makin me do it AGAIN... Where I will release it - so other's don't have to deal with your bullshit ever again.
Toxic AF.


Prometey
Are you really surprised VVT overlap increases turbo response..?
No educated person would be.
You know VVT/SAI are both used to increase exhaust flow on startup cat warming protocol.
"EGR"..?

 
You are wanking yourself since you don't want or support other's tuning!
Don't sprain your wrist.


Easy to impress yourself, when you shut everyone else down with your unhelpfulness.
How about a rotational idle? Impress me.

Nobody cares about your shit, dude.
You're a selfish person.

Shove your copycat bullshit program where the sun don't shine.  (Amazing it matches Hilton's, who copied Dream3r's too)
I gotta waste my time and money developing an app for everyone else.


When the common folk have access to flashing, and definition files, I will regard your work as an accomplishment.
You might even produce a usable tune! Then you can work on encrypting your maps a different way, like a cat burying shit in the sand.

But until then, you are simply the Only option, and thats the same as NO options.
The fact you just now decided VVT was useful for turbo spool, proves your understanding of engine functions is retarded. Compared to my own.
Your tuning skills might be behind my programming skills!
I confidently believe I can tune the Vehicle better than you, Or SparkyR Contrast, etc.
Let me blow up my own engine.

Sure, you might be a better programmer. That's fine. I don't pride myself on programming, and never have.
Maybe I say something about Programming that sounds stupid to you.
Maybe you say something about Tuning that seems stupid to me.

That's why "community" is helpful, to process the shortcomings of others... which you all have MANY.

My software doesn’t resemble your claims buddy. I was going to give you software licensed to your car so you had the ability to flash and correct your checksums with out the encryption but you proved that to be a joke and a waste of time. You can see s60rawrs I had ready for him but I’m not going yo give it to an arrogant prick who’s more interested in slandering one without any relevance to what your even saying.

The only one who is stopping yourself from tuning your car is your unwillingness to spend a little time. I’ve already given you my definition and base for a 04 s60r but you are too stupid to realize that

If anyone has any Docs (Relevant FR) or files they'd like to throw up, add them here and they will make it in. All bins, defs, and projects are welcome.

Will be release a freeware flashing and logging software that doesn't use some bonehead encryption/licensing shit. ...lifted from another bonehead..
(If you have the wherewithal to recompile a flasher, why not remove the encryption?! Locking your tune is the most pathetic thing)

Looking to include DIM re-calibrator, CEM configuration tool, and TCM red/Write, to perform SW updates.

Baxter, Howd Cody Halpme sell you one of his bird shit manifolds, when his own brother BHalme SparkyR S60RR S60RXTREME69420!!!, the unhelpful scammer kid who rips people off (and ghosts them)...- is running and OE cast manifold on his big turbo?? LOLLLLL

The majority of you Volvo queefs have ZERO offerings besides being a fanboi nutswinger... like everyone in the crowd, cant stand up for yourself until someone else starts yelling

Found some additional info for TCU limiter for 50WRHJ software.

Code:
ROM:00058AF4                 extp    #6, #1
ROM:00058AF8                 movb    rl1, byte_18726
ROM:00058AFC                 jnb     r1.1, loc_58B06
ROM:00058B00                 mov     mkmxat_w, ONES
ROM:00058B04                 jmpr    cc_UC, loc_58B16
ROM:00058B06 ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM:00058B06
ROM:00058B06 loc_58B06:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_5853E+5BEj
ROM:00058B06                 mov     r8, r15
ROM:00058B08                 add     r8, mdverl_w
ROM:00058B0C                 jmpr    cc_NC, loc_58B12 ; limit on 1 and 2 gears
ROM:00058B0E                 mov     r8, #0FFFFh
ROM:00058B12
ROM:00058B12 loc_58B12:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_5853E+5CEj
ROM:00058B12                 mov     mkmxat_w, r8

Looks like byte_18726 sets behavior for limiter. By setting byte_18726.1 we can disable torque limiter from TCU. Initially I just made none operation instead of jmpr    cc_NC, loc_58B12

Also this byte is used in two other places for same purposes. But only with my code hack I disabled TCU limit. So this change can be done by byte_18726 = 1

For pre TF80 software I used different constant to disable limiter. For example for 50QGHJ SW I set byte at 0x18F10 to 10b.

I started analyzing of aw55 TCU flash. Found 11 or more switch maps. I want to increase shift revs in sport mode. Stock TCU flash switch from 2 to 3 gear before 100 km/h. Also stock TCU switch to 5 gear around 185-190 km/h. Because of that car accelerates from 180 to 200 more that 4 seconds.

If there are anybody to do own investigations I attached my current progress. There are no axes defined. But X axis is 1-2, 2-1, 2-3, 3-2, 3-4, 4-3, 4-5, 5-4 switch (in maps of 8x12 size and subrange of gears in less size maps). Y axis is throttle position (axis values aren't found yet). Values of maps are car speed in km/h.

CPU is Renesas sh7055 big endian. Can be flashed in boot mode.

Why do you need this update? I found an issue with throttle closing on lite pedal mode for this software. But this issue can be fixed by code patch. WRHJ software have a workaround for this issue.

Just change B9C80 word from 0x29D to 0x00CC. It replaces jmp instruction to nope. So substration pirg_w from some calculations will never overflow and word_304F34 will always set to 0xFFFF. I may be wrong with explanation but with hack works fine.

Hi,
can you share the 50QGHJ 2006 update  with the bug fixed.
Thank you very much for help..
I post the steps to fix this problem. Add 1x1 map at described address and change it value to 0x00CC. After this don't forget to update checksum.

I understand, but I don't have a map from 2006 for S60R
50QGHJ software is from pre restyling S60R with 250 kbit CAN. Restyling S60R has 500 kbit CAN. So these versions aren't compatible.

Post by: SparkyR on October 08, 2022, 09:51:00 AM
I usually use lamfa for my fuel enrichment. Usually 0.82 lambda at 100 percent throttle. I use kflbts as a over temperature fuel enrichment to attempt to Quinch some heat from the cylinders. Tabgbts is what triggers kflbts (I set mine to 900 degrees c for unshimmed blocks and 950 degrees c for shimmed blocks). You have gotta be careful with some enrichment as it will cause excessive injector duty cycle with the stock injectors. Also I have found that CWTATR can cause a massive fuel enrichment for catalyst overtemp, which I tend to numb it from the original value of 4 down to 0 being fully off

For boot mode checksum isn't need to be correct. So the problem is out of there.

Your saying that if an ECU is unresponsive after a bad upload it'll still be recoverable in boot mode?

My case might be different. ECU does not want to read via bootmode. Read fails between 20% to 60% Tried several times.  When attempting to start car, start not approved. When connecting with vida, the ECU shows offline.

I tried another ECU in the car and it shows up as online. Do you know what chip or smd might fail on the ECU? Or how to test a dead ECU?

Hi all. This is the ME7 thread, but I need to ask about the Denso ECUs. As you know the 140hp model can be unlocked to at least 170hp, some claim even 188. Btw I am no tuner, but I love open source stuff and reverse engineering so I went hunting. I managed to find two files(manual transmission) and compare them and found two maps(identical) which were changed. https://imgur.com/t1dxls1 and it took me a very long time to find the correct factors for X and Y axis, but not the map and here it is https://imgur.com/a/jfHVpH0 ( i used a random factor of 0.227 so ignore the displayed values for now).

From my research the map should be a throttle plate angle or something similar, but not sure about the factor. I would greatly appreciate if anyone has an idea about what the map values represent and how the map is called.

@prometey1982 - are you not the guy who managed to swap an AW55 for a TF80SC? Is this "easy"? I want to do this for my S60 2005 in the future. Why? Because 6 speed so more speed, less noise, also the tranny can handle more torque. I want to build a turbo 2.3(2.3 block with 2.5 head) of around 400-500hp but also have it be automatic. I know the aw55 cannot handle a lot of torque, and even the tf80, but the tf80 can handle more than the aw55 and with tuning + cooler maybe it can withstand the high torque?
@prometey1982 is the torque limiter of AW55 in 1st and 2nd gear in the TCM firmware or ECM?

Anyway, I built a thing https://imgur.com/a/CdaZPI0. I plan to use this device to read, log and flash from ECUs. Its barebones for now.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: Mach1 on October 19, 2022, 06:52:45 PM

Practilally bolt on. If you talk about s60 or s80. More complicated for XC70 and XC90 due to different wheel diameter. For correct TF80 work TCM firmware must be modified.

Yeah but no hardware. I do not wish to buy KESS, MPPS or VIDA DICE or whatever else tool. But the software is a nice welcome addition.

@prometey1982 - Can you share what those modifications are? I've been using IDA and Ghidra to explore my ECU code, I have to say...SH-2 is an awful architecture for Denso ECUs, I hope the ME7 stuff is a bit good.

And lastly, any ideas about the map, guys?

Thank you, that is a huge treasure trove. Nothing on the Denso stuff, I must keep digging. In the meantime, the Volvo ETM should have a maximum opening of 86 degrees, the Vida Dice unit performs tests and the throttle has a maximum angle of 80 degrees there. The raw map has a value of 1736, at first I thought these were radians, but 1.736 radians is 99 degrees and I am sure as hell that can't be the throttle angle. Then I experimented with a factor of 0.046, which brings the value to a sane value of 79,9, which is believable as far as throttle angles go.

Post by: dikidera on October 20, 2022, 12:53:53 PM
I guess I can try live logging and try and correlate the throttle plate angle to the values in the map and reverse the factor from that. Hopefully I can make some progress in the coming weekend.

Also, thank you for the tools again!

You are in luck I think, now I do not know if anyone of you have seen it, but there is a tool called I/O Terminal that can read our Volvo Denso ECUs, its free I believe, but beware its packed with Themida, unsure what nastiness it may hide or if it even works. And yes it can read via OBD or so they claim.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on October 22, 2022, 01:53:00 PM
I think I may have some luck and wanted to ask if you guys think I am right. After looking at some videos I deduced my map may not be able angles, but percentages(could still be angles though). The vida dice software measures throttle position in percentages rather than degrees, so maybe my map is percentages? But it also has a special ETM test that shows the position in degrees.

After playing with the factors, only 0.05 produced a map whose numbers end neatly in 0 or 5 like so https://imgur.com/iMgN4x0 and are constrained within the hypothetical limits of 0-100% and 0-86 degree angles.

The source to Hiltons software is fascinating, though whoever decompiled it didn't reverse the dotfuscator. I've been looking through the code (I'm a highly experienced programmer but I don't know csharp and the function names are wiped out so it's slow going), most of it revolves around encryption and licensing, which was pretty easy to bypass, all I want is to be able to read+write my own bins using DICE.

also I agree with vollmer on everything he said, and for sure whatever I come up with will be shared freely with everyone in the community. its an aging platform, no sense keeping everything proprietary this long

yea i have a fork someone slapped their own logo on of the hiltons with a license for my car but it encrypts it  :( if
it was written in framework 3.5. i fucked with it even with a live debugger while i had it reading my car n shit.. that shits over my head tho. im sure someone could  do it easy. im just an idiot

its relatively simple to just roll your own license file, its just an xml file with your user data, the license key is just your name and VIN mixed together and then base64'd, i can provide the specific functions i found in the source. still working on figuring out the bin encryption, so annoying

[edit] also want to note that hiltons flasher program is worthless, the real magic is inside dicedotnet.dll which isn't even obfuscated and can be modified easily. this dll contains everything for reading, writing, logging, and encrypting/decrypting licenses and bins

Jetbrains is pretty good for this sort of thing, but its not perfect. I had to rewrite a ton of code to get the hilton flasher to build.. not an easy task in a language I havent learned yet. Worked really well on the dll though

The license functions are pretty interesting, it appears that the functions that decode the license key also set up the comms functions, which makes sense because the VIN will have the info neccessary to set the proper baud rates and addresses etc. Attaching the DLL and just calling the functions manually seems to refuse to work unless you present a valid license first.. currently I'm attempting to create a fake license, and recompile the DLL modified to accept any license key..

Did anybody try to disassemble VDASH? I tried but couldn't deobfuscate it. I have not enough experience with .NET disassembling. Other option looks like just buy some reflashing and grab CAN messages. VDASH developers just grab these protocols (with SBLs) from dealer early. Or just stole VBF files from dealers VIDA.

I have no experience with .NET either, mostly just x86 and DRM protection with virtualization and such. I just never needed .NET.

But really, what we need to understand is how the CEM stores...software. Personally I like to imagine a small space where CAN commands can be written such as

if(keyfob_double_pressUnlock)
   fold_mirrors();

I never played with VDASH so for fun I thought I'd download it. Then it detected I had visual studio open and force closed everything without saving, so that was pretty annoying. Looks like this is some complex ass software that does a pretty good job of protecting itself, and I already gave up on it.

how do i transfer this 0 280 218 067 for RS4 MAF HFM-5-9.7  and 5120 hack stuff from this well defined qhhj over to my qphj without losing my mind?
im dyslexic af and throw up after 15 minutes in ols
i need all the maf stuff for my gphj

i got the tvub - n00b question.. when i change it to 5 rows as to what my injector sheet has... it doesnt look right? idk....
can i just keep it 1 row and be fine?
and the krkte to what i believe is correct

and yes i did the equation 50.2624*(displacement / cylinders) /(cc*.684)

tested it with the examble mynet or someone had and got their answer so i plugged mine in

This will get you started... not sure why you want to do 5120.. i suggest getting comfortable with map changes before making it overcomplex., I'm personally at 15 hours on my 5120 for 50whrj its been an ongoing project for the last 2 years. im unsure of an easier way

for tvub copy over 58 psi row and call it good.

My forays with Denso are just so I can learn a bit more. In the future I am planning the following build: 2.3t5 block + 2.5 head. I plan to shim the block just in case. I have one serious issue and that is, that the electrical installation is vastly different from Denso to Bosch. Then there's the need for a CEM to work with the BOSCH ECU.

actually at the bottom of the chart it says it flows 11% more on gas.....so 11% more on the 1178 is 1,307.58   so should i use that or is 1178 fine

It’s important to log your fuel trims to ensure you set the krkte and temin correctly. With such large injectors are tricky to learn on

There is easier approach to setting KRKTE. No need to use fancy calculators :)
If you don't change engine displacement just use this formula: NEW_KRKTE = (OLD_FLOW * OLD_KRKTE) / NEW_FLOW
No need to use factor with KRKTE. Just use pure HEX value from BIN (convert it to decimal for convenience).

It's important to use exact same units on both injector flows!
They must have the same flow unit (popular ones: cc/min, lb/hr, g/min) at the same pressure (popular ones: @3bar, @3.5 bar, @43.5psi etc.) and for the same reference liquid (Ethanol, n-Heptane, Gas, etc.)

Looks like your chart gives flow at 43.5 psi on ethanol (multiply by 11% for gas) in cc/min.
Now just find your stock injectors flow and "just" match units and you have your KRKTE.

Actually matching flow units is the most pain in the ass in this process :)

Then just paste new KRKTE value back to BIN and test drive the car and keep eye on fuel trims. If they are off in wide range then you have to shift your KRKTE.
You have to also recalculate KVB constant if you want cluster to show real values (the lower KRKTE the higher KVB proportionally).

I've made a lot of progress on the hilton source code, and I'm building a simple tool whose only purpose is to read and write ECU bins unencrypted using the DICE cable. Some testing is required, then I'll release the app and the source for whoever wants it. After that I'll look into building an encrypted bin decrypter. well, unless vollmer beats me to it ;)

couple notes from my brief look

You had forgot to set a safety to limit wgdc in this stage of tuning injectors. CWMDAPP set to 8 will revert wgdc to use KFLDRAPP this is the method i use

Long term Fuel trims are still on. Nolra set to 07

i personally like more fuel pressure under high load as well as fuel pressure to ramp in earlier KFPNDSOL is the map to set target fuel pressure

very lean under wot for my liking. typically like to see 0.82 lambda in my tunes if i dont set up a knock based enrichment

KVB should be closer to 1100

the fuel over run turned on will absolutely drive you insane while dialing in the injectors these maps are located in the BBSAWE portion of code

10 v in tvub has a typo 


other than these this looks like a typical tune from Hilton that hasn't changed in years you can also see hilton using the method of boost control that vollmer was gawking at when i mentioned i learned it from Contrast

Good news I think. I managed to connect to the ECU via CAN on the "bench". Now it's time to explore what the different protocols offer. I believe my RPI can function as a J2534 device.

I wonder what the ECU is expecting, it's just repeating those frames with some changing data. As soon as I can read the chips(and write)(, I will try to focus on how to enable the user debugger integrated in the 7055 chip. I don't have high hopes as people smarter than me couldn't get it to work, saying it might have been disabled in production(e-fuses anyone?). The reason being that static analysis can only reveal so much and I for sure would like to see more control flow data.

The ECU I have is also a Denso ECU, but an older one so I can learn on it and not brick my actual ECU in my car. My actual ECU is probably using a 29LV200BC chip, but I have reasons to suspect it's memory size is bigger than 256 kilobytes(kibibytes) and is at least 1 meg or more in size.

TIA. meanwhile making progress on the flasher tool, did some testing today on my own car, visual studio kept locking up on me then realized i didnt put the key in the ignition ffs. dont code while high kids.

if you can always start with the original bin. ive flashed other cars with different bins and they worked... i did another one and iit wouldnt crank. immobilizer something came up... put the original bin back on and it fired right up. gotta look into that.  i seen something about the immobilzer in the defs. we'll see.

Brandon Halme, You fuck people over after you rob them (ignore "customers" after selling "tunes for $1900!? WTFBBQ"), withhold information that progresses the community, "block" people. 
You act like a gate-keeper, when in reality you are one of the biggest pieces of shit to walk this earth after Hilton. You even use a hacked version of his software, can't make your own, or get the real deal.
"Nice"

Who bent You over and sold you the copied shit? Must mean a lot to you. You surely have "paid" it off with money you took from poor volvo enthusiasts.
Be done.
Your reputation is "Done"

Piece of Shit "Robert Hilton" (Guitar24t) BOUGHT Dream3R's laptop from his wife after he DIED, to MAKE SURE the project didn't go public. How much did he pay for it?
Thats the kind of garbage we are dealing with. Dream3R wanted this to be public space, then we got this fucking Clown-show

Grave-robbing shit-stains.
Fucking despicable.  All of you.

You would like me to get back to tuning -  instead of exposing you as the miserable people you are.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Artem aka Prometey. Miss me??!
Way to end up useless. You had it all -  and refused to be a part of the winning team.
You ended up exactly as predicted. Complete fucking shame. You ain't nobody's hero, anymore. Could've been.
Just another typical Russian. Keep it all to yourself. You can take it with you.
Why'd it take such turmoil? You were the VERY ONE bitching about lack of community. Stuck in an Echo chamber.

You end up in the HALL OF SHAME with the other snakes above, that you can't find the "face" to call out.
Best to save it and kiss ass in your circle of cunts so you can share some secret defs or progs you stole from somebody else.


So you all know, this is the MOST VIEWED single post on Nefmoto, and theres no dedicated area, or forums for it - because of how you have treated the scene for the last 20 years.

There could be an entire website dedicated to tuning Volvos exclusively, but because of people like you all, there is not. Are you all such limp-wristed snowflakes that you can't call a Spade a Spade?
My post gets saved here with yours, and will stand the test of time. You can go back and fwd over my messages and they hold true. Unlike yours - which has the consistency of spoiled cottage cheese.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


*Sigh*

If anyone would like to add to the REAL VOLVO Project, upload your bins, definitions, and programs on this BS "Thread". You are more than encouraged. The previous 100 pages are obsolete with the latest repository. If anyone wants to get involved with volvo tuning, do yourself a favor and skip all the morons here. All the Good Guys are literally dead, or gone. Start with the repository. You will save more than "4000" hours *eye roll*

I will be carrying my Dice unit and laptop around to all volvos +meets in my area and downloading the raw, Unencrypted (Fuck you robert hilton et al. ) bin files to upload into the current repository S60Rawr is hosting.  .. Who has done more in the past few months than any of you "Scientist" losers. I highly encourage others to collect and share as much as they can. Hopefully I can upload some ripped off bins and put your hacks outta business. Lotta good your "intellectual property" is gonna do when people know your reputation.

Next up is CEM and DIM re calibration. with the keys. Someday the Haldex module may be configured via CAN/DICE to give more of an "evo" rear bias. Most of the CAN protocols and basic source code for all modules, including hvac+radio+Nav screen are included in this repository.

@RLine, there is several folks with half-baked CEM projects out there. I encourage you to incorporate them into your prog. A simple CEM "tab" would be endlessly useful for re configuring AT-MT swaps, among other things. SKC, IMMO, Keys. Most of these people have little to no self discipline. They never finish anything, nor do they release anything, yet will always bitch when you implement their code. Take it as a badge of appreciation. Like my Smites. I Love it.

@Dikidera a bit pathetic you are "pro-encryption" or "anti-disassembly".. perhaps you like to live in dystopian an dysfunctional communities that fuck each over and retard global progress. Patents were to share and expand ideas. Now we have patent trolls and other who will steer their entire lives to keep you from living yours. I can't say we are friends after you encourage encryption and closed source software. Hope you change your POV on that, or we wont have much to work on together.


As an Homage to the death of Dream3R  - and his trashed legacy (Thanks guys), I would love to see the ECU logging readout on the NAV screen. The NAV is mostly bugged and obsolete. Got a blank screen there with possibilities. or to the DIM at the least - which has already been done via CANExtender dongle. He might not have had an accident with his head up. I personally have dodged some iffy situations live tuning by myself on the street. Something these inexperienced remote flash tuners would never understand...

Lets see how the censoring and admin handles this post. Not like this is the first time illegal, immoral, and scam tactics have been called out. Guess it depends if the admin is also a psychopathic, kleptomaniac Volvo tuner, or is in fact interested in the community progression, which most of you are so very against. Hard to believe I am the only pissed one. Perhaps the only one willing to burn these useless bridges. I have been preparing an Ultra4 buggy for the last few weeks, watching this hate-train roll into station.

Don't forget to hit the Smite button beside my username! :)

Some tuners will lock the tunes to one specific car. I never have. But you have to stay within the software number and trans from my experience. You can find via HxD at binary location 18500 ish


i seen an  old post from gustav saying that its possible to flash a gphj bin on every manual R 2005+
i need to do more comparing.. but if so that be insane

as a newbie i wouldnt try it. but just a curiosity


vollmer... ohhhhh mmmmmmyyyyyyy wtf

For 2005+ MY two versions can be used: 50GPHJ for manual and 50WRHJ (it's for tf80 but aw55 works fine with this SW) for auto. Moreover only 50WRHJ version can be used for both transmissions with just changing value of B_autget. For 2004- MY 50QGHJ version can be used for both auto and manual.

So all features like 5120hack or speed density conversion can be implemented in only two SWs. But nobody will do it, ahaha.

What value does b_autget need? 0=auto 1=man?

my car is 50GMHJ (30743144AA if that matters at all), I will attempt to flash a 50GPHJ in the next day or two and report my findings

vollmer, i kinda want to buy you a coffee and pick your brain lol, great idea integrating CEM functions, I'll definitely work towards that goal. already found the cem-cracking source in the repository, super helpful

Looking at the hilton code and other tools, there is a periodic message sent over the CAN bus to notify the CEM or ECM perhaps that a tool is present/attached. I am still reading the code, thank god for .NET decompilation. VDASH have obfuscated their code, but in the end, it doesn't even matter.

My issue if it is an issue is that on the bench, the ECM is sending the same changing sequence over CAN and is not replying to my CAN messages. Of course the CAN bus has many protocols layered on top and is a shitshow and maybe I am not passing the correct data.

yeah screw all that, use dicedotnet.dll, it contains literally everything needed for flashing, logging, encrypting/decrypting... and its not obfuscated at all. all you need to do is write a simple wrapper program. the toolkit im writing will be using this dll, but i had to modify the code in a few places to correct hiltons' dumbassery. for example he hard coded a 240-second timeout on all message transmissions, so if you call say sendMsgReadResponse() and your interface isn't connected or if the key isn't in position II, the dll will hang for 240 seconds before reporting back to your app.

[edit] also want to mention that if using the dll for communication, the connect() function creates the two canbus connections, and also sets up the k-line and starts broadcasting the keep-alive for you, so you're free to just start sending commands and receiving data as you please

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ this
the dll has all the capabilities
just beyond my basic programming knowledge lol

Except, I am using an ARM-based RPI, so I am working with socketcan. I don't have any j2534/flashing tool.

I still have not figured out why the ECM is broadcasting packets twice. In any case I am still reading, there's a lot of information to process on the protocols. I am also reading the ecu directly via the pins(aka bench mode).

The keep-alive message is sent from the flashing software to the CEM over the K-Line to enable communication via the OBD port. If you are benching, this isn't needed at all. Depending on what you're doing you may need to broadcast a 'Test Tool Present' message: (tho im pretty sure this is also not needed for ECU)

Code:
D8 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

yeah screw all that, use dicedotnet.dll, it contains literally everything needed for flashing, logging, encrypting/decrypting... and its not obfuscated at all. all you need to do is write a simple wrapper program. the toolkit im writing will be using this dll, but i had to modify the code in a few places to correct hiltons' dumbassery. for example he hard coded a 240-second timeout on all message transmissions, so if you call say sendMsgReadResponse() and your interface isn't connected or if the key isn't in position II, the dll will hang for 240 seconds before reporting back to your app.

[edit] also want to mention that if using the dll for communication, the connect() function creates the two canbus connections, and also sets up the k-line and starts broadcasting the keep-alive for you, so you're free to just start sending commands and receiving data as you please

incorporate the checksum before flashing :D

I'm incorporating a BIN tool that lets you load up any bin, quickly see its version and other info, check and repair checksums, and quickly determine if the maps are stock or tuned

I have some good news. I managed to find the CAN commands to enter programming mode of the ECU and managed to get replies such as part numbers and so forth, this is absolutely good news. I tried to query for ECU version/hw but I got no reply, so it's obvious those commands are not the same for Denso as they are for ME7/9.

Looks like checksum calculation ranges vary even more.
In 2002 S60 T5 (20KPSC) 1MB bin checksum is calculated in the range 0x000000-0x0BFFFF so for this particular software variable max_buffer_index = 0x1FAF0.

Yes, I caught the situation with 20KPSC software. But it still works when checksum updated twice.

By the way flash can be read by checksum calculation command. For example for TCM module 7A:
1. Start sending sleep message for 2 secs with 100 ms interval:
0xFFFFE 0xFF 0x86 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
2. Switch TCM module to programming mode:
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0xC0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

3. Send start add for checksum: AABBCCDD - addr from 0xF0000 down
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0x9C 0xAA 0xBB 0xCC 0xDD
4. Send get checksum with next byte:
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0xB4 0xAA 0xBB 0xCC 0xDD+1
5. Read response from TCM.

6. After all flash is read send CAN reset message.
0xFFFFE 0xFF 0xC8 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Looks like this approach can also be used for ECM module read.

Thanks, its just as you said. However adding 1 to address does not fetch correct data, I have to set checksum address to the new byte location and then issue get checksum again. Slower but at least it works.

diki@raspberrypi:~ $ cansend can0 000FFFFE#7A9C00000080 <- rom address 00000080
diki@raspberrypi:~ $ cansend can0 000FFFFE#7AB400000081 <- fetches first byte from that address
diki@raspberrypi:~ $ cansend can0 000FFFFE#7AB400000082 <- does NOT fetch next byte correctly, it's mutated
diki@raspberrypi:~ $ cansend can0 000FFFFE#7A9C00000081 <- set checksum pointer to next byte
diki@raspberrypi:~ $ cansend can0 000FFFFE#7AB400000082 <- correct data retrieved.

All in all, I would call this a success, thank you for the invaluable information.

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: rlinewiz on November 04, 2022, 06:16:22 AM
this is happening because the checksum is being checked while downloading the bin for some reason, this code can be easily bypassed for now

also to answer previous questions the can speed is determined automatically when you click the connect button, and it appears the checksum is updated automatically when loading a bin to send to the car, there's no manual process for this

were you able to start the car after you flashed? i have a sneaky suspicion the checksum code is incorrect, and theres a chance its incorrectly 'fixing' the checksum before flashing to the car

also to answer previous questions the can speed is determined automatically when you click the connect button, and it appears the checksum is updated automatically when loading a bin to send to the car, there's no manual process for this
were you able to start the car after you flashed? i have a sneaky suspicion the checksum code is incorrect, and theres a chance its incorrectly 'fixing' the checksum before flashing to the car

it's old code
probably using the old checksum code
prometey fixed it  ( https://github.com/prometey1982/VolvoME7ChecksumUpdater/tree/asm_checksum_fix )

regardless it should be doing the checksum on the flash/ write not the read
debug and debug away!

Yes but i only flashed files with checksum corrected before, i had in mind trying to flash a modified file and let the software correct the checksum.
But first im trying to find my parameter file from my computers so i can test the logging before i unstrap the car from the dyno..

After writing some ugly code I managed to dump the flash via CAN.

Code:
# import the library
import can
import time

# create a bus instance
# many other interfaces are supported as well (see documentation)
bus = can.Bus(interface='socketcan',
              channel='can0',
              receive_own_messages=False)

bus.send(message)

# iterate over received messages
address = 0x00000000
msgdata1_template = [0x7A, 0x9C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]

    print(hex(address - 2) + ': ' + hex(msg.data[2]))

f.close()
As you might imagine this is from python-can, using SocketCAN. I ran into an issue where the TX buffer of the socket was getting full(common issue) so I did txqueuelen 1000 on the interface. But the process was mighty slow, took me like half an hour to dump it all.

I do not know if it will be useful, maybe for research purposes, but I am attaching a read from Denso HN.2 ECU for a S60 petrol 140hp from 2002 I think. I cannot guarantee the quality of the read, my first read had 4-5 added 00 bytes that I think I fixed in my  second read and IDA was happy to disassemble the code.

It's missing the last 00 byte to be full 512KB. I think I fixed my off by one.

Code:
# import the library

Anyway this is step 1. Getting a read is all fine and dandy, but flashing is a whole different beast. I don't want to buy KESS,MPPS or whatever. I have an adequate device for this, which is my RPI. But...it's an ARM linux device so we  need to make it a J2534 device.

But here is where I see the first issue. For ME7 or ME9 you have bootloaders, anything for Denso?

There is Renesas High-performance Embedded Workshop for programming for such devices. So you can write own bootloader for SH705X processor. It will be fine due to SH7055 processors inside TCU units.

One thing I always wondered for SH7055 and the map chip 29LV200BC is that people dumped only 256kb from the chip, but I have seen from the code that it's larger and could be up to 2 megabytes in size.

(https://i.imgur.com/YOwPJC5.png)

You can see CS0 could be up to 2 megabytes, from 00200000 to 003FFFFF. In the ROM I also found references to memory accesses above the 256kb map dumps I've seen. At first I thought hmm...could there be more memory chips on the board? CS0 corresponds to chip select 0 so only one chip for this whole address range.

So I decided to dump the entire CS0 range and lo and behold there is data above 256kb range.

EDIT:

So while there is data, it seems to be a copy of the 256kb memory region. Either that or we wrap around when selecting the address.

(https://i.imgur.com/BGLPk6T.png)

Or...very unlikely, but several copies are held in the chip just in case one gets corrupted.

I am thankful as well for your efforts and others to bring dream3R's vision to fruition.

I found this site after picking up a 2006 XC70 with a blown engine. Which I 4T4 swapped :D
I was settled on Hilton for tuning but the price was hard to swallow and since I am self tuning my 98 V70R with the M4.4 project I went looking for options.
After reading through the thread I am glad I hadn't yet. That was a jerk move and I will never condone or support someone like him.

Currently it is running on the stock tune but I look forward to changing that in the near future. I have successfully read out the ECU bin with Free the Moose this weekend. Now to get familiar with the differences.
I think I read a few pages back that a 2005+ V70R tune should work with the AW55 trans (50WRHJ?) just need to figure out how to clone the immo onto a donor ECU as this is a daily driver while mine is torn down for a M66 swap.

Thanks again
Shawn

Alright, so I dug around and found a project called npkern which is a Sh7055 kernel for Subaru and Nissan. It may be able to work for Volvo, but I have not yet tested. What I am doing however is reverse engineering IO Terminal's communication of the chips. Unfortunately you can only do so much static analysis before you need some dynamic execution, unfortunately the said dynamic execution really really wants an FTDI device connected. I have no such device and FTDI emulation yielded nothing....so I plan to patch the ftdi driver to respond with fake devices and make the program(which was/is packed with Themida or Winlicense) divulge what it's writing, hopefully it's kernel.

There are Bootloaders for ME9 packaged in the EXEs,
Dotpeek the shemtek exe file in the repository S60Rawr is hosting.
Need to go through that mess of a collection and organize the added defs and bins.

Not too impressed how Rawr is handling the files and this project. Bit of an intellectual bottleneck.
Can't find the shift key, everything is funny. No discipline or organization. That must be my fault because I have both. Too worried about saving face - can't ask the critical information - can't tune - can't program. IDK why people are leaking shit via him, but If you prefer "kind and dumb" to "rude and smart", then whatever.
The job will be done. Practically is. "Free the Nipple". P2s aint Moose.
THERE IS A REASON THE FLASHER HAD ME9/FORD SHIT before it got trimmed out by "intelligent folk"...  SMFH.... -_-
Pretty sure there was Denso stuff as well. ...

It is Preferred the Leaker get on here anonymously and dispense the information directly.
I don't enjoy the "telephone" through uneducated people. Messages (and data) lose resolution through lossy filters. .
Why are you hiding..? Quit saving face. Use a VPN or something if youre paranoid.

Would also like to point out that programmers are NOT good tuners. and vice versa.
Nice people, are often unkind... and the reverse..



If there are more Good people in the world, then why is it Bad?
Because the Good people are unwilling to speak up! (in fear of appearing Bad)
Nothing to lose.



I watched Robert Hilton and Brett Willet lie today.
At least 10 years software this has been around.. And the Volvo owners were OK getting walked on and scammed!
If I had more money, or maybe a nicer house - I might not be so angry., and might pay these dweebs to fuck up my car. .. but thanks to my disgruntled hostility, you all now have defeated these bad guys.
Am I still the "Bad guy"?
It's Gotham IRL.

Lets start with Brett..
First he accuses S60Rawr of Stealing his "shit" - which he didn't. (Not that it is Brett's "shit" )
When faced with the truth, Brett responds, "Good now that people have access" - You are fuckin lying dude!
You have had access to this for years with your fraudster buddy Halpme. You refused to release this, and got mad at S60Rawr for releasing what you thought was yours.
The MAXXECU project is a stalled joke because you chimps are psychopaths. Throw in the towel. That is a Lost Cause. Esp now. Sink that bridge.

"This is why we will not help you. It has nothing to do with money. Its *just* because of your character"

Where do we even start?
You cant retro-actively blame someone for YOU being a bad person the last 10+ years. Dont blame "ANYONE's" character for your miserable character. Take responsibility for your self. You sound like Artem Prometey
If you are a POS, which you are, then at least own up to it. Don't blame it on the person you have been fucking over.
 - Logical Fallacy - Delusional

Telling it doesnt have to do with money, is a blatant LIE.
It absolutely has to do with revenue stream.  - How dumb you think people are? You sold vin-locked version of your software before you realized it was losing you money.
When you charge ~2k for a tune. Hundreds of dollars to change a 1 to a 0. When you lost multiple tunes totaling 10K+ from my efforts here.
Like Artem who hustles Russian Volvo Owners to put food on the table, and will now be suffering a loss of income thanks to this.

It's funny. Will Vollmer add more value in this thread by themself? I don's think so. In Russa we have proverb for such people: The dog barks, but the caravan moves on. At the moment there is just another cracked version of Dreamer's/Hilton's tuning suite (if you carefully read this thread then you must know that this unitilty was developed together by Dreamer and Hilton. Not stolen by Hillton from dreamer). Nothing else. But it's very small part of work. Vollmer you don't understand the main problem. Main problem is adding new features like boost control on boost ranges upper that 250 kPa. Or Speed Density conversion. Or real working launch control and antilag. Not just raising KFLDRX. You can introduce nothing new. Just barking like a dog. Tools are just tools. I can reflash TCM with small money by local Volvo specialist. This specialist can reflash every p1-p3 module but he don't make tune. I can reflash my TCM by myself but again who will reverse TCM flash? You? I don't this so. Because you can't. I posted s60r's 2003 TCM's flash in this thread. Did anybody make any investigation of this flash? I think nobody and nothing. Who will spent their time to add any value for assholes like Vollmer? Nobody. Practically all well known Volvo tuners gone. Just because there is no money. These tuners spend their time not for money reason but for interest. I didn't want to spend so must time tune anybody. I just didn't found a tuner who can tune my own car.

Again. Show you tune. Not bark.

At the moment there is just another cracked version of Dreamer's/Hilton's tuning suite (if you carefully read this thread then you must know that this unitilty was developed together by Dreamer and Hilton. Not stolen by Hillton from dreamer). Nothing else. But it's very small part of work.

i have permission.. and direction of someone thats on that original contract to spread this... but i dont wanna make this about that anymore....
we've come so far in the last while.  it was pretty old code 6+ year old. i just put it in the right hands.

ive been studying nyet's s4 tuning page  all week over and over and over.. reading other 10+ year old threads....its fun.. now we have access
lets get to tuning!

It's nice that this topic came back to life :)

From my experience tuning my own car for my own purposes i must admit that reading and flashing BIN is just the beginning of the work on the tuning :)

What is the hardest part is actually modifying BIN. I need to spend about half year in IDA revealing maps and variables to do a decent simple 19T turbo tune on my S60 2.3 T5 :)
I have about 130 maps and 180 variables revealed and i think it's not even half of them.
Even making simple 16T to 19T turbo conversion - nothing fancy - i had to modify quite a lot of things, recalculate all MIOP/MIRL/ZW/MDS maps with totally new values to support higher loads for example.

So the holy grail are map packs with decent definitions.
Of course i keep thumbs up for open source flashing soft. It would be great to have such tool.
I can share my definitions for 20KPSC bin (S60 02 T5) if someone is interested.

I am recently working on Flat-Shift routine. I implemented simple function, patched to BIN and it is working. Before boost was dropping a lot between gear changes. Now it's stays on full boost - i am doing around 0,3-0,4s better time 100-200 :) But there is one issue, my routine is simply pulling ignition by about -20 degree and it is still not enough. Revs do not go up between gear changes but they don't fall either. My clutch slipped few times. Does anyone managed to implement similar feature with better results? I know that there's solution with cutting ignition with FTOMN=0 but it can fry coils or ECU and i don't want to check it out by myself :)

If you don't want to do it with ignition cut, do it with fuel cut.
There is cylinder blending target, redsol.
Override the OEM code and set it to to 5 when you want full cut on all cylinders (if you have a 5 cylinder engine, sorry I'm not much into moose).
This is totally safe, as it is the same as the hard revlimiter (except the hard revlimiter is smarter and it blends cylinder count based on target).
If you want to spool turbo, you can retard ignition + implement redsol based on distance to target RPM (can be from a map). This is at a standstill of course.

This is stuff to make car fast. Not very popular these days because NLS/LC is now mostly used to make the car create toilet farting noises, instead of trying to go faster.

Your NLS becomes literally patching this in somewhere into the OEM routine that calculates redsol (after it's set):
if (nmot_w > X && wdkba > Y && vfzg > 0 && b_kuppl) {
   redsol = 5;
}

Have you tried to implement launch control for automatic transmissions?

This car seems to have something similar. The ignition angle is set to -15 degrees. And so that the engine speed does not grow uncontrollably, a method is used to turn off the injectors through evz_austot.

Very interesting idea with this redsol. I need to dig more in IDA and discover more variables and routines and rethink this strategy.
As i understand redsol is the number of cylinders cutting fuel? So when i set it for example to 3, ECU will cut fuel on 3 cylinders? But how is it going to do it? I mean does ECU cut the same 3 cylinders every engine cycle (2 rotations) or pick some random ones? Cutting for example first 3 cyls (out of 5 in my example) sounds like much stress on the engine (very rough).

As for this guy http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=340.msg148312#msg148312 (http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=340.msg148312#msg148312) i saw this a time ago but i doubt this is what i try to achieve :)
He did launch control... on the FWD car!? What the heck :)
I always thought on FWD cars the problem is too much torque on launch not too little :)
I had to reduce boost a lot on first and second gear (KFMDBGRG) to get decent start... and he just builds full boost at launch :) I don't get it.

Have you tried to implement launch control for automatic transmissions?
On VAG yes.
But you have to keep in mind also how well the automatic transmission can handle it.
If it is not very strong, you can easily break the input shaft.
Basically find the transmission stall speed, and then retard ignition + cut X amount of cylinders to stay a little below the stall speed or a lot below the stallspeed if you don't need so much stored energy in the flywheel and engine can produce boost.

Very interesting idea with this redsol. I need to dig more in IDA and discover more variables and routines and rethink this strategy.
As i understand redsol is the number of cylinders cutting fuel? So when i set it for example to 3, ECU will cut fuel on 3 cylinders? But how is it going to do it? I mean does ECU cut the same 3 cylinders every engine cycle (2 rotations) or pick some random ones? Cutting for example first 3 cyls (out of 5 in my example) sounds like much stress on the engine (very rough).
For flatshift just set it to 5, there is never any point to do anything else. This will keep the throttle open and the respool will be instant as soon as you complete the shift.
If you set it to less than 5, then there are cylinder cutting patterns defined in the binary, and it will use this rotating pattern. These patterns are optimized to reduce vibration.
But during flatshift the RPM will drop way too slowly and you will get wheelspin, wear the clutch unneccessarily and wear the synchronizers in the transmission.
The whole idea of the flatshift logic is to instantly take the stress out of the transmission, so you can shift much faster and keeping the throttle open for respool.

This is if you want to go fast. If you want to make stupid noises then do whatever you want to make the stupid noises.

By the way flash can be read by checksum calculation command. For example for TCM module 7A:
1. Start sending sleep message for 2 secs with 100 ms interval:
0xFFFFE 0xFF 0x86 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
2. Switch TCM module to programming mode:
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0xC0 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

3. Send start add for checksum: AABBCCDD - addr from 0xF0000 down
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0x9C 0xAA 0xBB 0xCC 0xDD
4. Send get checksum with next byte:
0xFFFFE 0x7A 0xB4 0xAA 0xBB 0xCC 0xDD+1
5. Read response from TCM.

6. After all flash is read send CAN reset message.
0xFFFFE 0xFF 0xC8 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00

Looks like this approach can also be used for ECM module read.
Would this potentially work for writing back to TCM? Have you tried if other modules are able to dump ROM? e.g. DIMM

Checksum function is different on most other P2 modules.
At some modules only partial areas are allowed to be checked or only big chunks allowed.
CEM needs seed/key before check.

So you will need custom SBL on most, since factory SBLs doesn't support reading.

FB MDRED 4.50 Functional Description
This function provides the injection suppression levels corresponding to the target torque request misol_w (relative to the indicated
Engine torque mibas_w, which results from the static ignition angle zwbase and basic lambda lambas).
A hysteresis must be used to ensure that there is no "bouncing" when selecting the reduction stages (cf. sub-function "HYST").
Cutting off the decimal places ("floor function") results in the new reduction level. in the sub-function "BBRED" *giggity* it is determined whether injection suppression
is allowed (B_mdee) and whether overrun fuel cut-off takes place (B_sa).
The real reduction level redist results from a max selection between redbas (base reduction level through bank shutdown
or by misfire detection) and the reduction level redsol calculated from misol.
Sub-function HYST: Hysteresis to prevent bouncing of the skip stage
-------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------
The hysteresis is determined by the difference between REDHYUC and REDHYOC and the offset of the hysteresis, based on the old value of
redsol, established by (1-REDHYOC). REDHYUC must always be greater than REDHYOC. Exceeds the calculated skip level redzst
the current value redsol by more than 1-REDHYOC (at redzst_w>redsol(k-1)-REDHYOC)
or REDHYUC (at redzst_w <= redsol(k-1)-REDHYOC) stages,
then the next fade-out level must be selected.
Subfunction BBRED: operating conditions of the torque intervention via injection suppression
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
The characteristic curve REDZEM as a function of the motor temperature can be used to determine from which reduction stage the reduction occurs
injection suppression is actually allowed. If the calculated reduction level redneu is less than that in the characteristic curve REDZEM
preset value, ignition angle intervention is activated. Injection suppression is only possible if redsol>=redze
(see above) is or if the requested torque misol_w is smaller than the torque mizwmn that can be realized at the latest ignition angle
and the condition like B_ska, B_dknolu, B_nmax or B_sab & CREDSTU (1st bit) is set. In addition, the B_stend must be set so that
is not hidden during the starting process and the engine can run up. With B_asr =1, the cylinder suppression is then possible,
if the 0th bit of CREDSTU is also set to 1. Otherwise the ignition angle intervention is limited to zwmin and none
Cylinder suppression is possible.
Initiation of overrun fuel cut-off without prior torque reduction by cylinder suppression (1st bit of CREDSTU = 0): If misol_w
is smaller than mizwmn_w and B_sab is set, the condition B_sa is set and the target reduction stage redsol is equal to REDMX,
so that fuel cut-off takes place.
Sequential fuel cut-off (1st bit of CREDSTU=1): When the current reduction stage reaches the applicable threshold REDMXSA
or exceeds and B_sab is set, the condition B_sa is set and the target reduction level redsol is equal to REDMX,
so that fuel cut-off takes place.
In the case of MSR intervention (B_msr = 1), fuel cut-off is prohibited.
APP MDRED 4.50 application notes
Typical value:
REDMX = number of cylinders
REDHYOC = 0.5 (with simultaneous injection and ignition interventions)
REDHYUC = 0.6 (with simultaneous injection and ignition interventions)
MDHYEZ = 5Nm
CREDSTU[0] = 0 (cylinder suppression not possible with ASR)
Characteristic REDZEM (typical value see picture below)
This characteristic defines the threshold between injection suppression and ignition intervention. Depending on the engine temperature can be applied
from which reduction stage the injection suppression no longer leads to excess catalytic converter temperature.

I don't know HP numbers. I think that it's something about 350-360 HP. aw55 can handle 400-450 Nm during 30-40 thousand km. The weakest part of aw55 is 4-5 gears clutch. So I don't understand why engine moment is limiter on first two gears.

Actually hardcut limiter is the "stupid" one :) It is used on older cars with mechanical throttle body :)
More modern cars do it smarter by closing throttle. It is safer for engine.

But if you just want to make your car sound and look cool the easiest way imho is, to just set -15 or more ignition angle in KFZWx on highhest rpms and low to mid range load (dont forget KFZWMN/MS tables). You will get pointless but very impressive loud and fireshooting rev limiter :) As a bonus you will get cool bangs between gear changes and loud shoots after letting off the throttle :)

But if you want to actually achieve better performance (less lag between gear changes etc.) it is not that easy :) I am also working on that :)

Yes i know it's safer for the engine, should have said "lame"

Shift light would be best option because the original revlimit is hard to notice as it just stops there and if not paying attention i will loose time, i was more after the limit that older card have where you set the gap/hysterisis between soft and hard limit small som you get rapid bounce.
But in future i will try to achieve no lift shift. At the moment im trying to implement 2step activated with cruise as i don't have 4c.

A small and final update. Turns out that IO Terminal uploads a special file to it's hardware that is encrypted. I analyzed the 2CANKLINERAMEXE file and it's entropy is 0.97 and higher, it's Chi distribution very low with a low Monte Carlo Pi error showing us it's likely not some compressed data but entirely encrypted.

It can also be complete lack of understanding of electricity and electronics and you frying all your ECU's.

There was a guy on here who put the on/off switch on ground and grounded the micro pin behind the switch, and was wondering why he was frying ECU's.
Took him 3 of them or so until I realized what he was doing and pointed it out. Obviously because the only ground point became that leg of the chip, which fried the chip every time.

You're switching 12V right? :)
Do the ECU's still respond to diags/run the car after you do your stuff?

This is why I bought a cheap ECU first, so I can ensure it works(and so far after having been connected for 12hrs+ sniffing CAN on bench mode it does). I'll soon be turning it into a J2534 device, thanks to Sardine-Win32 only instead of Arduino it's an RPI using Bluetooth as comunication between app(since most laptops have bluetooth and every modern phone on the planet).


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

You know, legit J2534 devices are <200 EUR at this point.
And cheap china shit is <50 EUR, which works quite well too.

There's like no point whatsoever to roll your own.
Epic waste of time, the hardware has been solved so many times over...

Instead you could be spending your time implementing the software and not worry about the hardware.
That's what I did and I'm doing quite well. People have a super affordable proper logging solution (not for Volvo, sorry), and they don't need to buy yet another cable for it either.

Still <50 eur more expensive than I'd like. And there's always a point, you get to be more intimate with the stuff at the protocol level. And I also don't like proprietary black boxes. I like to know what's at the start and end of a pipeline.

Dude it's like 10-15$ for the super cheap clones.
A Pi costs more than that for the bare board.

There's nothing fun about implementing J2534 API's or ISO-TP (for newer stuff).
It's tedious useless work, re-inventing the bicycle. Being able to do that or not do that will not get you any closer to your goal.
Furthermore, doing a proper USB->CAN is not that easy because USB is a serial protocol and the timings are pretty bad.
If you do it in a naive way you will have horrible performance.

Implementing a full blown message pump, queuing, the J2534 API and having actually decent throughput isn't something you're gonna do in a week.
And then once you've done all that, you're nowhere closer to your goal.

It's the equivalent of saying that you don't want to push the button on the toilet to see where the flushed stuff goes, you prefer to run an extra pipe around it and shovel it in there by hand.
Nothing wrong with implementing some J standard, but in the end utterly pointless. Especially since Volcano just uses the raw CAN sending ability of the interface, it's not done in hardware.

Thanks for the input. After first ECU had issues, all wiring was replaced besides cable.. I'll try a new cable.
Yes using 12v. I've tried flashing up to 13.8v with no problem after several flashes on bench. Interesting note the amps while reading/writing remained the same whether using 12v or 13.8v.

Do you have any suggestions for [recovering]reading the AM29F4xx chip or points to check on a 'fried ecu'?

You did not answer either of the questions actually.

a) What are you switching on and off. 12V or GND?
b) Do the ECU's work in a car after your experiments?

Sorry,
a) 12v+ is switched. GND always connected its crimped to a post, then a small jumper clamps onto the post which is used to short pin 24. everything's connected using a factory engine harness with extra wires removed to prevent any shorts
b) Yes all ECU's are still working after multiple bench read/writes with the exception of one that failed when a checksum was missed/skipped. That ECU strangely failed after the car was started on the 3rd time.

If this helps anything...  in a previous case the goal was to get a duplicate/spare ECU for tuning ['01 S60] after reading both factory and spare ECU's the HW/SW numbers matched in the bin, but different a2l- then proceeded to overwrite the spare ECU with our factory bin and it failed to write at 50% (tried few times), when the original spare bin dump was written back (4th try) it failed at 70% the first time, 10% the 2nd and ECU stopped responding after.

As an experiment afterwards. took an ECU from a P80 XC (Different HW/SW/a2l) wrote the factory bin just fine no problem and ECU still works after some tweaking.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on November 16, 2022, 02:55:19 AM
OK, then you have some issue in your boot process getting the required pins to the required state and/or flash tool issues.
At least you are not destroying the ECU's and that's a good start.

You can rule out the tool issue by buying a different cheap clone tool e.g. if you have Galletto try a MPPS or vice versa.
And if after that you have the same problem, then you know the issue is most likely with how you connect the boot pin.

I've tuned quite a few ME7 and ME9 Volvos back in the day, and even more EDC15/16 and I never ever had any issues getting any of the ME7/EDC15 into boot mode.
Usually I just soldered a wire to pin 24 and ran it into the car, then grounded it to the ignition lock barrel during key on, and I could boot mode the thing in the car.
So I did not need to pull the ECU out.

Careful when doing stuff like that on the dyno, the eddy current brakes can induce current into long loose wires and cause all sorts of weird issues.

That's the plan to try MPPS and potentially another laptop, rule out a driver issue. Can you reference what software you've used successfully With either of the cables? Thank you.

Flashed a GPHJ to it, And a WRHJ. Both have a elevated idle and throttle response is goofy, Like if you hold it around 10% throttle it will surge 2k-2.5K, And using logs its reporting -43C engine temp while the gauge on the dash is correct. Which if look at that temp in the WRHJ or the GPHJ lines up with the elevated idle.

Better choice for you is 50WRHJ software for TF80SC gearbox. With aw55 transmission this BIN doesn't limit torque on first gears.

I have some good news. I have almost completed the changes to Sardine that allowed me to talk to the RPI and turn it into a J2534 device. I had to refactor the code to make it work over TCP/IP, I had to also refactor the message handling mechanism to work with multiple messages in one recv operation. I had to write a small python proxy on the Pi , which is still very crude but allows me to spoof some CEM data to get VIDA going.

It took me a week simply because of the awful development environment I set up. Main PC with Visual Studio -> Laptop with VIDA -> RPI. Transferring from PC to laptop, refreshing the localhost/Vida instance via reloading or having to kill the IE tab emulator + needing to restart the RPI python server took a toll on my time. I can't even describe how many times my J2534 dll crashed(bad pointer arithmetic) and I had to manually kill all msedge processes.

All I have to do is wait for my raw OBD2 cable to arrive, set up a charger for my RPI in my car, and most importantly, find a way to relay the CAN messages to VIDA without blocking or saturating VIDA with too many.

Anyway, throughout all this I saw that on my test ECM on the bench, the DLC byte commonly seen here is irrelevant and doesn't actually work with the 2002 HN.2. Perhaps it only works when connected via the CEM.
So commands that should be 000FFFFE#CB7AXXXXXXXXXX do not work, but when removing the 0xCB byte(DLC field) it works just fine, or perhaps I wasn't sending it correctly.



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on November 27, 2022, 12:52:55 PM
You are mixing many things.

DLC has nothing to do with that Cx Byte.

DLC defines, how many payload bytes are sent in RAW CAN. Usually 8.

The Cx Byte is part of the encapsulated Volvo D2 protocol on RAW CAN, part of the payload bytes.
It is used as flow control in D2 when in diagnostic session.
It is not used when in programming session, because programming session in D2 does not support flow control.

Good luck. In my opinion you need more basic knowledge in all this stuff, then you wont burn so much time poking in the dark...

Also, which areas do you feel I am lacking in, genuinely asking for constructive criticism so I can improve. However if I can say one or two things in my defense, it's that the information is fragmented between multiple websites, multiple languages, github repositories or forum pages. Even then some of it is subjective based on whoever wrote it and his or her understanding of it. It took me a long while to get to where am I now, even though important bits such as Sardine J2534 being there free to use and extend which saved me quite some time in and of itself. My last goal which I may fail is the bootloader for Denso-based ECUs. I am really surprised that only the subaru people ever went to explore those ECUs.

Anyway, just how many protocols do Volvo use? I mean there's a ton over CAN, ISO15765, K-line, UDS, a few more(quite a few), D2, GGD.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on November 27, 2022, 02:28:47 PM
Difficult to say. Just honest brainstorming:

Read alot about OSI Layer Model.

You are mixing physical layer, transport layer, protocol, sessions, diagnostic, swdl and so on.

Some ISO documents can cover one or more layers,different sessions, etc.


For Volvo not much is public, so reading everything about that stuff on VAG could help.


Then read stuff about microcontroller software updates in general. Try to find automotive specific informations then. What is a primary Bootloader, why is there a secondary? What is CPU Boot mode, what is customer boot mode? Does it need different stages?

What is internal memory, how external can be addressed in memory space? What is memory space, what are memory segments? What is linear adress space, what is paging and windowing? What is software, what is application data?

I think someone mentioned already, that for volvo secondary Bootloaders will be needed. Prepare yourself for the cpu and ecu specific development of it. Your CPU is a Renesas SH7055.
Get familiar with assembly programming and the SH2 Instruction set. User MAT concept is to be understood. Ram, Rom...etc.

Or, as everyone else is doing here obviously: steal it from someone / some tool developer rather then think yourself :D

Maybe you were referring to my TCP/IP implementation. The RPI has no native way to communicate with Windows via USB or anything else. I decided to change this by using TCP sockets and using a shared network between the Raspberry Pi and Windows, as Sardine was written to work with Arduino and COM ports. And obviously Linux has native support for pretty much anything I could think of. So it's working nicely.
Anyway, thanks for the pointers. The VAG group are all Bosch. And, at least in my case, my S60 is Denso. And yes, I understood early on that there are less open source tools for Denso than there are for Bosch, but luckily the Subie guys have done the hard part(arguably the hardest out of all of this)

Here is the link in case anyone ever needs a base start on the kernel aka bootloader. https://github.com/fenugrec/npkern . As-is, it's currently not compatible with Volvo for a variety of reasons, but I will get to it in the near future.

Nope. That's yust communication with your tool choice. Im talking only about "ecu side".
My text are hints, things i came across. Must admit took me some years to understand everything. My impression was, you haven't so far. Sorry if im wrong. :)

When you have understood everything above, you will know why someone's subaru boot loader will not help you much. Start from scratch.

I do not believe you are truly wrong. It has been only like 2 months since I started from scratch when it comes to car ECUs and Tuning. I truly had no idea how people did tunes, what maps were nor the software. It was very very difficult to build context between all the information(that is again, very fragmented). It took me a while afterwards to find dumps for my specific vehicle, to compare tunes and see what was changed, guess it's factors. As soon as I had some semblance of understanding I wanted to try and tune myself, I needed to flash my changes(to a test ECU I bought online, I wouldn't dare change anything on my running car), which is where all this lead me. Obviously, all the while reverse engineering the SH2 dumps I have, the SH2 arch is...unusual to say the least. But at least I was able to easily see what was data and what was code, as the architecture is such, that IDA produces almost sensible code from the data.

EDIT:
The subaru bootloader cannot work for me as-is, I know this, because it relies on the Subaru specific semantics, the guy's code will hopefully at least get me started in some direction. I just haven't had time to look at it properly. I am very focused on having VIDA communicate with my RPI.

As soon as I progress further will I have time to look at the next objective. Yes I have split everything into smaller tasks.

So I experimented like so:
I sent 4 byte code via 7A9CFFFF0000 (jump to address).
Then I wrote the 4 bytes which were AFFB0009 which corrsponds to an empty while(1) { }, with the command 7AAEAFFB0009.
Then I did 7AA8(to set SBL bootloader end)
And then did 7A9CFFFF0000 and finally jump to code via 7AA0

This caused the ECU to reset. I am unsure if the command ran or not, but I can only hope and assume it did.

Next step to complete my fw upload to write more complex code. In this case, disabling the watchdog timer.

Something like

Code:
void main(void) {
    volatile short i = 0xA5EF;
    WDT.WRITE.TCSR &= i;
    while (1)
    {
        
    }
}

as per the docs

Post by: dikidera on December 07, 2022, 11:13:20 AM
After a week, I've finally managed to run my own little kernel on the SH7055 chip, it was possible thanks to npkern and a SBL I was provided for my specific ECU to help me decipher the conditions which are required to keep the ECU from being reset.

I have verified that I am indeed in control by toggling different measurable states of the ECU. Now it's time to write the flashing procedure for the 29LV200BC chip. The docs were difficult to find, but I have found common code on Github that also handles this. The chip I have is either an AMD AM29LV200BC chip or an MBM29LV200, the procedure is relatively the same for flashing it.

Common code is here https://github.com/junghanChoi/osMaking/blob/d4786ac49dcad968bb58962855695af94496852b/source/ezboot/main/flash_29lvx.c
And here https://github.com/stayinyourmemorylane/AM29F040B

These libraries were very helpful in deciphering what the hell the docs meant by unlock cycles

Code:
// SEND THE 5 Unlock commands
AMD_Send_Command(AMD_DATA_MASK_AA, AMD_ADDR_MASK_555);
AMD_Send_Command(AMD_DATA_MASK_55, AMD_ADDR_MASK_2AA);
AMD_Send_Command(AMD_DATA_MASK_80, AMD_ADDR_MASK_555);
AMD_Send_Command(AMD_DATA_MASK_AA, AMD_ADDR_MASK_555);
AMD_Send_Command(AMD_DATA_MASK_55, AMD_ADDR_MASK_2AA);

Implementing CAN commands to send the map file is possible, but there is also a faster and potentially less cumbersome way. Upload the map in a region after the code of the program(as well as stack pointers) and flash directly off RAM. But, since the on-chip RAM is relatively small at 32Kilobytes and smaller due to program and stack(and the map is 256Kilobytes), I could upload only parts of the map I actually intend to flash. The data I want to flash is relatively small. In fact it's less than 100 bytes change as of right now. Since I've never read much about flash storage chips, I am unsure if it's possible to write only in specific memory locations or is it per sector memory. So thats my next goal.

You can write only one byte at a time.
But you can only erase a whole page.

There is no point to load anything to RAM.
The correct way is to use a streaming compressor e.g. zlib to pack the data and unpack it on the fly as it's transferred.
Using this technique you can reach much higher flashing speeds.

Also, I don't know how the Volvo ECU works but you should consider how to recover from a failed state as well when the key is cycled.

The on-chip RAM has limited space for the kernel. The original kernel that Volvo supply aka the SBL reads data from the serial interface, yes serial, or CAN. I am not certain, I didn't dig much deep into that. So it streams in this way and can write what-where anywhere without size limits. The method I propose is for skipping setting up the code to communicate in the same manner and do it quick and dirty so I can finally apply my changes. As for writing per-byte or per-word, that is just perfect for me. Speed of flashing is of no concern to me right now. And you may wonder why I don't use the original SBL? It cannot flash maps.

As for bricking, since I am not touching the Sh7055 ROM, the chances are a bit fair lower of that happening. The external 29LV chip is more at risk, but the docs say there are built-in protections if any of the voltages fluctuate or anything of the sort. And even if I fail to write mid-programming, I have backups of the original maps(or will create such when I have to before proceeding). So to summarize, the main MCU's internal ROM is never written to, only external memory devices which is just the maps chip.

On another note, I found some more common code for 29LV chips -> https://github.com/ARM-software/u-boot/blob/master/drivers/mtd/jedec_flash.c


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on December 08, 2022, 05:14:14 PM
So the person who provided me with the SBL proved to me that the SBL can indeed write to the external memories. I can only assume that when you set up the SH7055 to be flashed, it also enables the internal circuitry to drive the CE,WE,OE pins high or low of the external memory and automatically sends the special unlock commands to the external flash chip. However this was not in the docs, or not presented in a way that made this clear.

I've also searched the byte patterns 0x555 and 0x2AA that are the special unlock commands that need to be sent to the 29LV chip and they don't exist in the ROM or SBL and are not even mentioned in the SH7055 hardware manual but they are required by the chip to unlock programming.

You missed the fact that before you can write you need to erase a page, and the minimum realistic granularity is writing that whole page + the checksums page.

If the software is marked as valid, and the maps contain errors or are half empty, e.g. 3d map but one axis FF, you are going to get a reset loop on the ECU most likely.
There are usually facilities in place to mark that programming has started and mark that it has finished, otherwise the MCU should not start the main program.

That was my question before where you said I could write byte by byte. I took that to mean that I do not need to erase the page/sector. So even if I change one byte, I still have to erase a whole page/sector?

Yes of course, this is how flash memory works. You can write byte by byte (in some exceptions there can be ECC, but not here most likely), if the page was previously erased.
Even more precisely, in flash memory all bits are 1 when it has been erased, and you can flip any bit that is 1 to 0. You can not go from 0 to 1, only way to do that is erase the page.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on December 09, 2022, 07:17:43 AM
Thanks for the clarification. An erase is a must then. I also have to look into the checksum, although that would be when I am actually able to write data.

I did some more experiments and soldered a wire to the WE pin of the 29LV flash. It is connected to pin 226 of the MCU(or 35), however the pin is multiplexed and I could not find a way to make it work. I used the pin function controller to change the pin to general IO, and then made it output. But after attempting to write a logic low I could not make the pin change states, at least not at the 29LV WE pin. But we know that the SBL can erase/write this chip which means that at some point the logic low/high states can affect this WE pin.

If this was not the correct pin, the next candidate is pin 35 at Port F. Progress is slow, because my gf is playing LoL on my PC all day, if she isn't she is playing the guitar, when she's not doing that, she wants to go out for a walk.  ;D

Addition: I had to bust out my multimeter and was able to trace the pin to Port J 9 aka Pin 186. This wasn't easy btw. The traces come out of the other side in a resistor to come back out the other. And resistors are tiny. Further tracing revealed that there is an AND gate chip connected to the WE enable pin of the 29LV chip, that seems to drive it high constantly. I am tracing that chip as well.

Addition 2: I accidentally broke the WE pin of the 29LV chip as well the trace it was connected to. So either I manage to fix it or I get another test ECU.

But Alexander which have great experience for Denso ECUs told me that 0FFFFE CAN message doesn't processed inside Denso ECM for almost all commands. I'll check what CAN message is generated for Denso ECM for A7 command. May be there is different CAN id is generated for this ECU type.

I had bench ECU, whenever I did 0x7A<command> it all gets executed there. But this was bootloader commands. However there is also a mysterious chip next to the SH7055 which I have no idea what it is, and only a few russians know what it does.

Going down to the car to test my VIDA proxy. Excited but also well prepared for various bugs.
Well first bug was..my mobile hotspot network had an addition space inserted in the name, and I had configured the rpi to connect to the network manually, and I wondered why it wasn't connecting. now back to the car I go.

Ok, so here is what happened. I plugged in the cable, set up everything and could see the CAN bus communication going on, however!!! After sending command 0xFF86000000000000, the whole car restarts, this unfortunately stops power to my RPI, restarting it as well. And the only thing that can do this is the CEM, so perhaps the CEM doesn't like this command?

The FF in FF 86 means you are sending the command 86 to enter programming mode to all (FF) controllers.
This is normal when you are going to program a controller, because you want the complete car to go quiet.

My 7055 Denso can read memory with the A7 command in the area 6000 to DFFF.

I think I see what you mean. So if I do 7A(7a being the ECM)86, then only this particular module will enter this programming mode?

But yes, the whole car should be quiet, as far as I know. But..what happens instead is, the CEM resets the whole car, and we're back to the shouting CAN bus. I must be missing something then? Or maybe I am not missing anything and just need to make sure my RPI is powered at all times, which I will of course.

You should make sure that all controllers on both high speed and low speed network is in programming mode if you want to program any controller in the car.

I'm sending FF 86 messages on both channels with 5ms interval for a duration of 4 seconds.

I currently have no concept of high-speed low speed and for J2534, channels are abstract concepts. All I've read so far has shown that canbus operates at one bitrate. And the HIGH/LOW signals are just differential signals and nothing more.

Perhaps you meant LINBUS, in which case I have no transceiver for that bus.

Volvo has two CAN networks. The CEM is connected to both. High speed is 500kbps or 250kbps, and low speed is 125kbps.

So by setting my speed to either of these lower speeds I can communicate with these modules?

Yes. But they are on different pins.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on December 14, 2022, 02:20:35 AM
Well, I will have to equip myself with another set of chips for CAN communication.

I have also received my replacement ECU. I plan to abandon the plan to enable writing to the external memories without enabling flashing of the main chip, as in my opinion that isn't possible. I believe there is hidden, undocumented functionality inside the SH7055 which cannot be enabled externally. So the plan is to use the standard method with the SBL and/or npkern. My next goal is to figure out how and if at all the checksum differs between Denso and ME7, where it's located etc.

Small correction. It's late but I was looking at all the function in the SBL and giving them appropriate names. Look what I found

(https://i.imgur.com/9NhoEus.png)

It looks familiar

(https://i.imgur.com/75OPNz2.png)

So the SBL enables writing/erasing, but something must still trigger the WE/OE pins. It still could be internal SH7055 circuitry.

It's from TF80 gearbox. Sorry can't share low addresses code because the guy who share these dumps with me doesn't allow me to share these addresses.

But if you have SBL for temic and aisin TCU's then it's doesn't matter. Because flash address starts from 0x8000.

We found adaptation limits for TF80 s60r flash and I tested it on my gearbox. Gearbox starts to work much better. Some adaptations were on the egde because gearbox has 300+ thousand km. mileage. And adaptation limits from factory looks very narrow. TF80 for p3 platform has problem with teflon rings. And from my point of view the problem isn't with rings but with adaptations. It's very strange that growing of leakage on few % can dramatically spoil the behavior of the transmission.

So there is more code at 0x0-0xFFF but you are not allowed to share? Thanks. Well it be a while, I will try to buy a Temic ECM to dump these parts.

What is an adaptation limit?

Btw, here are some tips for reverse engineering SH-based devices(also Bosch aka EDC). There is a plugin for Ghidra called GhidraEmu which can emulate instructions(yes like HEW), it emulates the Ghidra P-code so it's actually platform agnostic, it's never going to replace the actual device duh, but it can help in my opinion. It is especially useful for things like the SBL, because you can write it to ram, and then dump the entire RAM, load it into Ghidra and emulate with more or less correct RAM values, there are caveats but it is nonetheless useful.

M66 transmission is weaker than TF80. Moreover aw55 can handle 500 Nm during 30-50 thousand km. Yes with enabled limiter and stock ECM flash s60r is very slow. But after disable limiters and small boostup car becomes much funnier.

That does not match with my observations over many years.

We drove an M66 AWD with over 800 Nm on drag strip several years. Then many with around 600..650 Nm in daily traffic and with top speed on Autobahn.

Sure, you need SMF and better clutch, but that's it.

Besides that, input shaft of AW55 broke at 520..550 Nm.
Not tried this with TF80SC.

So no general rule i would say.

Ok, what 1/4 mile time do you have on 800+ Nm?

About TF80. Software has 400 Nm limiter on first two gears. On 3-6 gears limiter sets to 600 Nm. It's from factory. I think that this gearbox can handle 700-750 Nm for a long time. With raising of linear pressure will handle more.

Launch, what else ;)

It happened more than one time, same on AW42, which is basically the same construction. We had reinforced from Level10. No luck either.

We did drag racing with all this stuff on P80, P1X and P2X since 2009 - i guess we pretty much tested all this out a decade ago :D

Time with M66AWD was between 10,9 and 11,2 s. No lift shift i patched in wasn't working proper those days. Broke drive shafts often.

We then skipped to sequential race shifter with dog box when engines went over 1000 Nm.

I don't know how much is still in the internet, "we" were VPerformance...

Well I am almost positive that Level10 did not install a reinforced input shaft. So basically, you can have 500+nm on the AW55, but never launch it? Sounds like dougy was correct. He got 690awhp but said he never once launched the car. Not sure if he used AW55 or TF80 however.

Sure, you need supporting mods on car to support that torque.

You can not have 500 Nm on AW55 very long in my opinion. Depends on the use case. Selenoids die, shift plate washes out, burned bands. Oil change all 5000..10000 Km for sure.

TF80SC might perform better on long term under those conditions but will need maintenance more often than stock in my experience.

The MS43 is quite worked through and is far easier for a starter. I am currently comparing maps with a really good ols from a S60R and a S60 Stage 1. Seems like most maps are close to eachother, others harder to find. I currently work on the older 98-00 Me7 found in late S70,V70 and early S80. For a beginner like me, this thread has helped me a lot. I am now more aware of the things I do not know lmao. anyways...

What are the biggest difference between the 512kb and 1024kb Me7?

The Bin is from a B5204T4 120kW/163hp. It is going to be tuned into the italiy T5 aka B5204T3.
Could someone verify my maps attached?

About aw55 transmission. Definitely it should be tuned too. Increasing of linear pressure. Tuning of LST's current on low load.
Level10 is just wasting of money. Better to swap to TF80 gearbox. TF80 isn't faster than aw55 (slower from my point of view due to main gear ratio) but it's stronger.

prometey1982, what is the CAN command that AW55 send to the ECU to limit torque? Do you have data logs?

Meanwhile, I have found that the bootloader command (PBL) bytes are AND'ed with 0xF8. So 0x9C&0xF8=0x98 which is what the code checks for.

And in other more significant news, the 29LV200BC chip seems to contain...executable code. A lot of it. So it's not just the maps inside. The SH7055 PBL/Main rom, when it receives an interrupt, it looks up a table in RAM at FFFF7448.

And I was like, this can't be right...or rather, they couldn't have done this, could they? Turns out they have.

I am attaching the .idb file of the binary and what I've managed to stitch together into something coherent as well as the names of various functions I believe i have figured out, function names that contain a question mark are those I am not entirely certain what they do.

I haven't managed to find it. I found two functions that maybe check for CAN commands. And even then I am not sure. I expected something like

while(0)
{
    receive_can_commands();
    if(command == 0xA6)
        do_something();
}

You can see only the bootloader commands return data via HCAN interface. I basically do not see any code that accepts 0xA6 and returns data via CAN.

(https://i.imgur.com/VUuC2lL.png)

do_tx_ack is the function that sends data over CAN.

I mean if the command is 0xA6, then 0xA6&0xF8 = 0xA0, but remember, 0xA0 is the jump to code command. So we can exclude the bootloader commands.

I am very stuck here.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on January 06, 2023, 04:57:50 AM
I decided to finally test out the SBL's F8 delete command. I noticed several things. After you have deleted the chip or sector, when you write to an address, you do 7A AE <write data>, this does not actually commit the data. The data is still unwritten. As soon as you do 7A 9C <new address>, the data is finally commited and actually written.

Likewise, the WE pin is pulsed 4 times during writing(driven to logic low) every ~150 nanoseconds which I measured with my scope. I think we can deduce one thing here from this, if it's pulsed 4 times, this means 4 writes OR 4 bytes(although as usual this could be wrong). This only happens on 9C command, if I write first with 7A AE <data> and do 7A B4 <address + 1>, I do not get the correct checksum data, and no pulsing happens so the data is still unwritten to the flash chip.

This is curious, because I am looking at the 9C and AE handlers in the PBL and none of them show any functionality related to pulsing.  The only thing similar between the AE and 9C handlers, is two memory addresses, FFFFDFA0 and FFFFDB8B.

As I don't see any pulsing code in AE or 9C handlers, this must be done elsewhere, perhaps the secondary undocumented chip. If I have time I'd buy a small jtag header and poke around, but I wasted too much time already.

The A6 parameters 11BD to 11F8 seems to be linked to memory addresses 817B32 to 817BA8
There you will probably find the values 80 A4 repeated 60 times on your desk ECM

If it's in address space 0x8XXXXX, this is the external SRAM chip TC55 with 128KB of RAM. When SH7055 is booting up, it instructs the DMAC to copy data from 0x320000(external flash chip) to external SRAM. And the external SRAM's I/O pins have connections to the undocumented chip. Which may mean that A6 command is handled by the undocumented chip. In my opinion it's another Renesas MCU, but I did not find any compatible 120 pin version.

Anyway, I have some bad news. Due to my negligence, I fried my rpi. So it's dead. I would definitely blame volvo for using a secondary bus which caused me all the headaches, otherwise I was pretty much there. Anyway, I will now see if it's better to buy one of these MPPS,KESS tools or if I have to buy another RPI.

I will buy these tools only if: I can program via OBD2. If I have to remove the ECU from the car, it's a hassle. But with my RPI I could use it as a J2534 device and use VIDA(although because I fried my RPI I could not further test this functionality)

On Motronic 1.8 (TA13255A) and Motronic 4.x the extra chip is a so-called port extender without any internal software.
The main CPU does not have enough pins, and you add a port extender chip to have more in/out pins.
On older Motronics, this is used by writing and reading RAM addresses above the normal RAM.
Therefore the address and datalines are connected.

On ME7, the second chip is another C167 CPU, and has a little bit of software inside.
This can take care of some simple routine tasks, and deliver the data in shared RAM.

On Denso I expect the second chip to be something like on ME7.

----

D2 protocol is handled by the main CPU, but it is possible that low level CAN bus sending and receiving is handled by the second chip.
I am working backward from known data until I find the program code that I need, and not always to the top.

In Volvo 29LV200BC Flash ORI BIFUEL.bin there is a A6 parameter list at 30E104.
10 01 00 13 means that the 1001 parameter is found in A6 jump table row 19 (0x0013) counting from row 0

Volvo 64F7055 Flash ORI BIFUEL.bin the A6 jump table is found at 6B9B8
00 02 00 00 00 31 CC C2 00 00 00 00 means that the sub routine at 31CCC2 will return 02 bytes of data for the parameter at first row.

Well actually 31CCC2 will return nothing, but the next one 31CCC6 will return one byte from FFFFA402 for parameter 109F

My theory is, that it is a Renesas MCU or Hitachi, or could be anything else, but it is certain it is executing code, I also have my suspicions that it's also the MCU responsible for enabling flashing of the main chip and external memories. The nice thing about Bosch/EDC is that it has been studied to death and there are no undocumented chips like the unmarked one in Denso, so there is more information to glean, here there has been an attempt to conceal the data.

However I am not too sure I saw a D2 layer on the main chip on Denso, so it's my suspicious it's handled by the other chip. I just need a bit more time to get my new tools.

I'm not sure what you have seen in your files.
You have experience with EDC and it's similarities to the params(and their layout) so you were better able to understand the data in the external memories. In Denso there were no references to the data, as the code is in the unmarked chip that handles the A6 command and most other CAN communication(my theory, but supported by the lack of code calling the HCAN controller beyond the PBL commands).

Thank you for the compiled list.

The Denso ECU has code in:
SH7055 internal ROM - I have a dump
External flash 29LV200BC - I have a dump
The undocumented MCU - I do not have a dump.

So I only have 2/3 of the picture.

You are one the wrong way.

HCAN is referenced via indirect addressing in application layer.

The unknown chip is external watchdog/external safety layer.

Just because you can load a bin in IDA doesn't mean you get full understanding what's going on ;)

Volvo is the best :-)
I have a 2007 XC70 now, so there is plenty to look into if I want.
But I've been spending more time on other activities some years now.
Once in a while I take a look at the 32kB Motronic 1.8 file from my 960, but then I get lost in other more interesting stuff.
The reason I started looking at an old Denso unit lying around was that I noticed the PBL commands in a Nissan X-trail was more or less identical.

One problem with IDA is that there are many ways to jump to a program position that IDA cannot figure out.
One trick may be to change the return address while you are in a subroutine.
When you issue the return command, you then end up in a different spot than where you came from.
Jump tables are also not easy to view or follow.

This way it is difficult to figure out the program flow. At least for me.
But one day I will figure out the whole 32kB of M1.8 :-)

Well thank you.

I am no stranger to reverse engineering, but it was always on x86, and you *almost* cannot hide data from dynamic execution there, but it's different here. I cannot place breakpoints, I cannot single step, so indirect addressing if it happens, I cannot know it without executing.

But I believe you, I have seen the sh compilers outputting code like so : address(say an IO register) and then rather than storing another adjacent MMIO, it does <address + 4>.

It depends on hardware. For example for EC.2 ECM it should be here:

ROM:000408BC                 and     r2, #3FFh

Next is example from 50WRHJ software.
This variable is used here:

ROM:00076AA8                 shr     r4, #2
ROM:00076AAA                 movb    byte_3015C1, rl4
Then here:

ROM:000CAD72                 cmpb    rl1, byte_1458D ; looks like threshold for clutch pressed state
ROM:000CAD76                 jmpr    cc_ULE, loc_CAD7C

Using a VAG171 cable. I did the galetto hex fix. FT_Prog recognises the cable no problem. Interesting is: I power up the ECU and if I put my multimeter on pin 24 the ground is already there.

Is this a way to get into bootmode with ecu installed into the car? Or Is my interpretation off?

Additionals to document about flashing over Volcano protocol https://github.com/prometey1982/VolvoTools/blob/master/PrimaryBoot_169.pdf

Send data to CM:
A8 + number of bytes. For example for TCM with 6E addr:
Send 6 bytes:
FFFFE 6E AE 11 22 33 44 55 66
Send 5 bytes:
FFFFE 6E AD 11 22 33 44 55
Send 4 bytes:
FFFFE 6E AC 11 22 33 44
Send 3 bytes:
FFFFE 6E AB 11 22 33
Send 2 bytes:
FFFFE 6E AA 11 22
Send 1 byte:
FFFFE 6E A9 11
Send transmission completed:
FFFFE 6E A8

I'm using next sequence to write TCM:
FFFFE FF 86 multiple times to both CAN buses to stop CAN transmission

FFFFE 6E C0 - start primary bootloader

FFFFE 6E 9C FF FF 82 00 - set memory pointer for next command
5 6E 9C FF FF 82 00 - answer from TCM

Then loop with (A8+size) commands with bootloader data.

FFFFE 6E 9C FF FF 82 00 - set memory pointer for jump command
5 6E 9C FF FF 82 00 - answer from TCM

FFFFE 6E A0 - run code at jump point


At this point TCM is running SBL. Then for each block except last
Code:
const std::vector<uint32_t> chunks{0x8000,  0x10000, 0x20000,
                                     0x30000, 0x40000, 0x50000,
                                     0x60000, 0x70000, 0x80000};
Erasing and writing should be done.

Erase command for 0x8000 block:
FFFFE 6E C9 00 00 80 00 00 00
5 6E C9 00 00 80 00 00 00 - set pointer complete
FFFFE 6E F8 00 00 00 00 00 00 - erase command
5 6E F9 - erase complete

Write data to 0x8000 block command:
FFFFE 6E C9 00 00 80 00 00 00
5 6E C9 00 00 80 00 00 00 - set pointer complete
loop with block data:
FFFFE 6E AE 11 22 33 44 55 66 - send data to TCM

the last block should be filled with (A8+length) rules.
And this transfer completed command must be send
FFFFE 6E A8

There is a dozen of map lookup functions in me7. Just identify they and you'll understand where is lookup call. Some functions use single register for address. In such case DDP approach is used. Other functions use two registers for address. In this case one register contains page offset and other - page. To get absolute address you need page * 0x4000 + offset. Also some functions pass arguments by stack. Because number of arguments is huge.

To identify axis you have to find where axis value is set. And you'll saw map lookup function call with axis value.

Some maps has size and axis before data. WinOLS automatically identify some of such bosch maps.

It's also a good idea to understand what is a __near ptr and what is a __far ptr and how they are passed in the EABI used by Tasking Classic Compiler and Keil Compiler.
Remember, the ECU code was written in C.

R12-R15 registers are using for passing variables, R4 and R5 for returning.
The rest is passed on stack.

Python dumper for Denso SH7055 with SBL attached. The SBL sends(spams) the contents of the specified address over CAN. Fast, but in some cases there could be dropped bytes due to certain edge cases, such as entirely absent frames to a protocol error. The SBL is not aware of those and continues to send data.

The code could be optimized more by utilizing the 29 bit extended ID to cram more data, potentially getting up to 11 bytes per can message. Or it can be used a pointer to the address and contents being sent.
Further optimization could be employed similar to compressors where repeatable data is marked as <size>#repeatedbyte saving even more time, but only for very large data.

Well with a lot of my changes in place, I will soon test them out on the car.

On my CAN boards I have permanently shorted the 120 ohm terminator, this works fine for the bench, but on the car with the CEM, would there be any issues?
Additionally, I believe my 2005+ CEM does not have a diagnostic relay so I should be ok in connecting via CAN and no kline needed.

Last time when sending FF86 on the HS bus, my car was rebooting for some reason, but now that I can communicate via the LS as well, I think there should be no problem if I send both BUS-es this command.

Actually I missed his zip file, rkam is a saviour :) I can at least label some data.

He has his ways. Has been around Volvo much longer, has better tools. Is pretty much the father of the whole volvo tuning scene.

Anyway, I am abusing the ECU a bit by writing custom interrupt routines. I have an SBL and can overwrite the internal FLASH at any point in time, but any and I mean any problem, and I am left with a bricked ECU. An alternative is to abuse the available tools, the PBL's write-what-where functions and my own custom SBL and the internal debug peripherals, such as UBC and AUD. One problem is that the reset vectors when called will disable reset the chip, reset the UBC, possibly clear out RAM and my SBL goes the way of the dodo.

When the chip is reset, it will disable AUD, we need to steer the execution such, that we skip the instruction that updates the MSTCR register. The AUD is not very powerful, but it will output every branch address and then we can correlate this with the main event loop that streams ECU data and/or handles the A6 command, although I am more interested how CAN is accessed indirectly. This technique may yet work with just UBC, but it means we have to get creative.

However there are several ways for the ECU to reset itself(I obviously cannot verify this), pointers to poweron and main are laid out in many many locations, part of function pointer tables, bypassing the VBR.

Also, no wonder the CAN registers are hidden. My own SBL when compiled with GCC had the offset "obfuscated" by taking one unrelated address, adding an absurdly large number such as 3F7C5243 producing my intended address. This had me confused for a while and running in circles debugging my code only to find out it was working just fine.

The RAM addresses are from the binary file.

Find something like this (for ME7):

mov     r4, r12
sub     r4, #1000h          ;  Search for this
cmp     r4, #3CFh
jmpa    cc_UGT, locret_38FD6
shl     r4, #1
add     r4, #25C4h   ;Flash 125C4
mov     r4, [r4]
jmpi    cc_UC, [r4]


Get jump addresses from address above.
125C4: CE8F EE73 F473 FC73 0474 0A74 1074 1674 2074 2674 3074 3674 3E74

Each jump address points to a subroutine that most often reads a RAM address.
Then you can link the parameter number with a RAM address for your binary.

1000: 8FCE
1001: 73EE
1002: 73F4
1003: 73FC
1004: 7404
1005: 7410
1006: 7416 RAM 304752
1007: 7420
1008: 7426 RAM 3046FC
1009: 7430
100A: 7436

Is this the same methodology you used for my A6 param list in Denso?

I looked around and yes I see the A6 param list, but the algorithm for parameter discovery is a bit more complicated. It does not seem to be a linear table where every parameter such as 1000 then 1001 corresponds to the next function pointer. In fact parameter 1001 is further in the list than param 1005, according to your zip file.

No. Denso was a bit different.
There is a list of parameter numbers with a number that is the position in another table. This then points to an address where the value is retrieved from RAM or by  other calculation.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on January 29, 2023, 04:37:13 PM
Hehe, needlessly complicated. Look at what my GCC outputted.

Address FFFFB000. My original vector table is at address 7FC58 and it needs to lay in FFFFB000. How do we calculate the address?

We take this seemingly random constant, 0x3FF7EFA8 then we do 3FF7EFA8 + 7FC58 = 0x3FFFEC00 looks close. 0x3FFFEC00  << 2 = 0xFFFFB000.

The constant isn't random you can easily see this, but imagine this kind of code in the whole ROM. Offsets for all mmio registers are hidden like this, probably.

To anyone more familiar with speed density vs MAF, what would you categorize Denso volvos as? It has both a MAF and MAP, I guess it's the same for Bosch ECUs as well.

I am asking because thanks to rkam I managed to label a lot of variables, but none for instance described the so called Injection Quantities of fuel. And from my limited understanding, it really depends which type of system the ECU uses and thus the tables.
For instance most tuning guides talk about milligrams per stroke, but do I necessarily have such tables?

So far I see SparkAdvanceBase, which means this is the starting point of the Ignition Advance from which all compensations will be substracted. Raising this should up my high end power, yes?
But then, more fuel = more power(to a limit as it's a NA engine). So I need to up the fuel, although I am still searching for the maps and generally labeling functions related to sensor normalization, clamping etc.

And as always rkam was correct once more.

The parameter list is hard coded as a table inside the maps at address ROM:0006B9B8, this is in the BIFUEL LPG model ROM and maps I uploaded earlier.

The address is located after the parameter, so for 0x1005 param, the address in the other table is 0xC, this is multiplied by 12 to get the offset.

ROM:0006BA48                 .long 0x20000, 0x31CD54, 0

What 0x20000 means is yet unknown. 2 byte response

I am attaching the idb in it's current state with ROM,FLASH stitched together with RAM names filled in as well as some other locations I have inferred from whatever was happening. Note, some variable/function names could be very wrong, as it is said in the crypto world, trust, but verify.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on February 02, 2023, 02:14:02 AM
Most likely it has a MAF and a Boost sensor pre-throttle body. This is not the same as a MAP sensor.
If it indeed has a pressure sensor in the manifold, then idk.

No Bosch ECU has both a MAP and a MAF. They either have a MAP and a boost sensor or a MAF and a boost sensor (if SY_TURBO=1)

Not necessarily.
Too much fuel and you actually loose power.
Numbers given on picture are just example. May differ a bit between engines but general rule is the same.

Post by: dikidera on February 02, 2023, 06:56:39 AM
Thanks. Is there a way to incorporate cylinder compression to estimate power? Since a naturally aspirated engine has a fixed compression rather than variable due to turbo.

Usually for my engine it is 200-210 psi per cylinder, BUT I actually have lower compression in cylinders 1,2,3, it's closer to 160-170 psi(permanent damage), and thus it is producing slightly less power than with ideal conditions.

@rkam, thanks once more.

Thanks. Is there a way to incorporate cylinder compression to estimate power? Since a naturally aspirated engine has a fixed compression rather than variable due to turbo.
This statement has nothing to do with the truth or reality.

The dynamic compression depends on a large number of factors in both engines. The only thing a turbocharger affects is the intake pressure and exhaust backpressure, nothing else.
All the other factors remain. Dynamic compression is a function of compression ratio and volumetric efficiency. Volumetric efficiency is affected by IAT, intake pressure, exhaust backpressure, and can be greatly variable if the engine has variable cam timing and/or lift.

The only thing that is static is the compression ratio, and it tells you absolutely nothing about power.

Torque (and power, which is just torque x rpm) on an otto engine is generally computed from air consumed by the engine and corrected by ignition angle efficiency, and then the inner engine friction torque is subtracted, which generally gets taken from a RPM x temperature map, and corrected by the variable oil pressure, if such pressure switching is present.
If you have in-cylinder pressure transducers then probably it is possible to calculate the inner torque produced by the engine from that (but you still need to correct it by the friction torque), however it is much easier just to measure the air consumed and the ignition angle efficiency.

Another thing you can do is take an A2L or DAM file if you have, write a parser for it and adjust the offsets in it (and delete those that you can't find).
Then import this using the A2L import plugin.

However, I don’t get how this results in a requested lambda (lamsons) of 0.7 at 6600. Please find attached the log and (component protection) fuelling tables.

Yes and more specifically, strictly Volvo Denso. It's just how it is I am afraid. I was originally trying to implement the map algo how it is in the code.

The map descriptor table is in the following format. Interestingly, through the years, the start location is always 0x8614 in the 29LV200BC chip.

map_flags - 4 byte
X_bin_offset - 4 bytes.
Y_bin_offset - 4 bytes - may not exist depending on bit flags and map type.
map_addr - 4 bytes
unknown_member - 4 bytes

actually, the structure depends on map_flags's first byte and the bit flags, thus the map descriptor table is either 16 or 20 bytes per map.

I was unable to deduce the bit flags pattern and thus my parser operates on some assumptions on my end.

Some maps are generated at runtime and thus the map offsets point to RAM, most are static.

I will soon attempt to flash my map changes, I have a few hurdles. One is that WinOLS Demo does not allow exporting of my changes and I have to use a hex editor, but that can be error prone.

My second problem would be if the SBL I was provided which I know works on HN.2 ecus(but are from 2002, 2001), would or would not work on LE.2 which is 2005+. More specifically if it deletes the data from the flash but does not allow me to write to it. I am crossing my fingers on this one.

Last is of course is why there are 4 pedal maps. It's still unclear, I am deducing at least one of them is for Winter mode, but I could be totally wrong. Other maps seem to modify the 1st and 3rd map between the 140hp and 170hp. I will do the same, I will copy the values as-is and the order of the maps.

What is causing your over-fueling is ATR module and it is exhaust temperature protection.
You can disable it by setting CATR to 0.

But IMHO it's quite useful because it's time-delayed extra enrichment for longer pulls.
Just reduce it by setting DLATRMN (Maximum negative delta AFR for EGT protection).
I set it to 0,015 so i get some extra safety on longer puls.

You have some weird factor for dlamatr_w. It should be SIGNED word with 0.000244141 factor.

And don't mind calculated exhaust temperature - it's just very rough estimation for ECUs purposes.
If you want to see real EGT just mount real sensor :)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: daniel2345 on February 06, 2023, 02:48:05 AM
Volvo Denso for P2X has at least 5 different architectures.
There are 5 different factory SBL.
At least 7055 with and without external flash, early different CAN layout, different spi, bifuel, 7058.

For the first four it might be possible to construct a very smart one-fits-all SBL. but for 7058 it will probably not work. 7058 ist used from MY2005.

Then there are three more layouts for P80 and and two for P1X.

I have one repo for all and different build Configs for the specific ecus to keep track of all the differences. I would never use a one-fits-all SBL. Way too much risk sitting in car in the middle of nowhere with a dead ecu.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on February 06, 2023, 04:10:46 AM
I have the bi-fuel model, LE.2. From my tests it must be using 7055 simply because of the fact that my custom SBLs worked, which means at the very least the MMIO is correct.

On 7058 the MMIO for HCAN is

#define HCAN0  (*(volatile struct st_hcan2 *)0xFFFFD000)/* HCAN0 Address*/
#define HCAN1  (*(volatile struct st_hcan2 *)0xFFFFD800)/* HCAN1 Address*/

Which differs from 7055, but my custom written dumper SBL worked on BIFUEL with 7055 HCAN mmio. However this does not confirm whether the other write/erase SBL will work if the layout inside is different, pin-wise, because the SBL operates by pulsing the WE pin low on a per byte basis, unfortunately I was unable to map the physical connections of this circuit to the pins responsible.

If this differs even a bit from old HN.2 layout in the 2005 BIFUEL, it's very likely it will erase the chip, but never manage to write to it.

From my observations, the SBL first accepts the F8 command, which deletes the portion you want, by Sectors, each of which is a size of 0x8000 bytes(seems to be different depending on the sector). Then when you do write AE <data>, the data is actually not yet written, but is commited to a RAM address and as soon as you execute 7A 9C to set the new pointer, the handler of 9C finally writes the data, by pulsing the WE pin low however many bytes are written, and then sets the new pointer.

I believe the DLATRMN you are referring to is called DLATRNLN in my map pack (or maybe this is a different map, I do not have DLATRMN in my map pack).

I see the stock value of DLATRNLN (desired delta lambda of exhaust temperature control substition) is -0.2969 at 6000 rpm. How does DLATRNLN enrich? Does it take the delta (difference) from the current lambda and does it enrich from there (e.g., from lambda 0.85 -> -0.2969 -> 0.55 (however, the limit is 0.7) -> 0.7, or does it take the delta from stoich 1.0 (1.0 -> 0.2969 -> 0.7)?

DLATRNLN is fixed enrichment used in case of ATR error.

DLATRMN is what limits ATR in normal operation.
It was also around -0,3 in my stock bin (S60 T5 02).

ATR turns on when modeled EGT>EGT_CONST (TABGSS?).
ATR produces dlamatr_w that is directly added to lamfa or lambts (the lower one).
Dlamatr_w is integrated (accumulated) with (EGT_CONST - modeled_EGT) and limited by DLATRMN.

Meanwhile, to export map changes from WinOLS Demo to binary, there is a harder way but it works.

Change map to hexadecimal, 8 bit, and most importantly, remove all factors, signs whatever. Copy the map and paste into Notepad++, replace all tabs inside with a single space using the Replace All functionality. Then click on Extended and replace \r\n with a single space. Done. Copy the contents to the file by using a regular Hex Editor such as HxD.

WinOLS seems to be protected by VMProtect/Denuvo. As expected, the similarities between VMProtect/Denuvo and SecuROM are uncanny.

Anti-circumvention clauses of the DMCA prohibit circumvention of “technical protection means”, that limit access to the copyrighted work.
Having OLS files in an obfuscated and encrypted format is certainly a technical protection.
Not being able to export things from the demo, is again a protection and bypassing it falls under this clause.

I have a question guys.

Why does my bench Denso ECM not reply to B9F0 command? I tested all variants below

000FFFFE 7A B9 F0 00 00 00 00 00

000FFFFE CB 7A B9 F0 00 00 00 00

000FFFFE 7A B9 F0

00000726 7A B9 F0 00 00 00 00 00

00000726 CB 7A B9 F0 00 00 00 00

I tried them both in programming mode and normal mode.

Free as in beer does not grant you the right to reverse engineer or modify the software.By filing a DMCA notice, it does not matter that they are a German company.Anti-circumvention clauses of the DMCA prohibit circumvention of “technical protection means”, that limit access to the copyrighted work.
Having OLS files in an obfuscated and encrypted format is certainly a technical protection.
Not being able to export things from the demo, is again a protection and bypassing it falls under this clause.
Reverse engineering OLS and making an OLS -> XDF converter, which EVC actually sells for 150 EUR is also a great way to get the wrong kind of attention.

If you are not familiar with DMCA and do not have experience with it, then hush. It can be used without any legal grounds by the copyright holder and it is up to the admin to prove it is not the case.
Until the admin does that any ISP in the US immediately takes the site down, and does not put it back up until the content is removed. If they don't, they can get sued.
Having been on the receiving end of the stick, it's not a fun thing, and fighting it is usually a waste of time.

Since we don't have an active admin, if it gets taken down, then it might be down for weeks or months.
I've actually thought about dumping this forum and re-hosting it somewhere, and giving some people actual full access to the server itself, so it does not suddenly go the way of the dodo.
they sell for way more than 150 
i just send my ols files to my buddy with a legit ols license and he converts them for me.

and btw..

grow some fucking balls, they're not gonna take down this site.. if anything you talking about it bringing up the keywords could draw some attention to it but yet again the search feature on this sucks more Riley Reid so I think we're good.

relax

lemme text vollmer to come back and bark at ya

Ok this command returns ECU identification. DHA has such query for your ECU. It sounds as you write:

Can you send this command during normal ecu work? For example during engine run?

Just some clarifications :) OLS file format looks like not encrypted or obfuscated. Seems very simple DB with map parameters and variables in plain HEX.
I can almost read it with my eyes just by looking in hex viewer :) So looks like EVC didn't protect it at all.
But of course if looking at it is forbidden so lets us not do that ;)

And original EVC XDF export plugin costs 535,50EUR not 150. And i doubt it will run on demo WinOLS. WinOLS license is another 940 EUR.

This tool is locked to VIN. I.e. you can see open project button. Project is locked to VIN. But it can be easily hacked, ahaha. I didn't make any anti hack complication. And I promised to open this tool if Vollmer made some good value to the community. 2/3 year gone. Still no value from him. Command line tool work great. If you have any problem please create ticket on github and I'll fix it. I'm adding support of mongoosePro JLR at the moment. And will open logging for TCM modules. If you can share SBL for other Volvo modules then I can extend number of supported CMs. Already made refactoring to support choosing SBL by CM type. Volcano protocols is fully implemented. Maybe I'll add UDS Volvo flashing later.

It can be a problem. Because ECM waits for some message from CEM to start work propertly. Alexander Morzhakov also can't start TCM modules on the bench. He asked me to dump CAN messages during switching key to position II.

grow some fucking balls, they're not gonna take down this site..
I don't need to grow anything. But you need to grow a brain.
If there will ever be guides/cracks for OLS posted here, there will be a DMCA notice issued and the ISP will by default shut down the site, because there will no reaction from admin.
Normally if you have an active admin it is like an 1 hour thing tops. Delete the offending post, e-mail the ISP, site back up. Many ISP-s give you a notice first as well these days, so you have a chance to react.
But when the admin is not active, then this is exactly what will happen.

Maybe once you have some experience running stuff you will find out how this works. I have received and handled multiple DMCA requests, and they can come with absolutely zero leg to stand on, but you basically need to be a lawyer to fight it.
Easier to just delete the content and move on with your life usually.

Все я понял. Ты беспокоишься о форуме, что закроют его нафиг.
Не закроют а просто тупо ISP скажет админу удалить, а админ не ответит во время и они сервер временно уберут из доступности. А поскольку никто из нас от Tony не слышал уже наверное пол года даже по тривиальным вещам, то как ты думаешь какая вероятность что он будет этим заниматся?

Это только для Bosch контроллеров MED17 или новее. Всё остальное требует дополнительного железа или очень больших изменений в коде (все карты которые хочется откатывать в онлайн надо будет передрессировать в память).
В новых бошах эта переадресация поддерживается на уровне OS уже по модулям. Так что надо просто в нужное место "вклинится".

At what version are you looking? The early ones were like that, but at some point all projects were encrypted and protected, same for the .kp mappacks.
I have not looked at it recently, I don't know if anything changed there. But I've written an OLS -> XDF parser myself before, and after a certain update most sections were crypted.

Also, if 1.5k is too much for you, maybe this is not for you. Or just use a different editor.
1.5k is what you make in 1-2 days if you do this professionally, so that's why it's priced like that.

For A2L viewing there is for example ASAP2Demo.

Seen this floating around the Volvo groups. (Attachment)

Great reputation!! Brandon Halme S60rr sparkyr bhalme  - Said the same shit MONTHS ago.
Steals thousands.
Blocks people.
Maxes out the final column and calls it a tune.
Steals 5120 from Contrast Gustav Urbas (Nice!)



Thanks Nye (Nyet) for sponsoring scammers and condoning russian dickheads!
I fucking told you  -you arrogant prick!
Do you feel good about supporting and holding up scammers on your site?
You are equally liable to be subpoenaed to court with Tony if/when shit hits the fan.



Hey Artem, (aka prometey), with how much you talk about homosexuals - and penis, I think you might have some emotions of your own to attend??

Whats your beef with Homosexuals?
How about Alan Turing????

I'd rather be "Racist" towards soviets and their greedy pig mentality - at least its based in historical reference, science, and data.
What Cars, or ECUs have been developed out of Russia, by Russians?
Lets include all soviet block countries.
I'll wait.

Denso? Bosch? and.... Blyat Industries?


Nobody wants anything to do with anything from russia. Your entire country is a mismanaged and corrupt sham of natural resources.
The world will be a better place when russia, and all its moronic culture is obliterated.
Steal from your brother before he steals from you!
Kill your brother before he kills you!


All you've done is prove yourself to be an utter sack of shit.

I, and dozens of others have an ever growing flash utility that talks to ALL modules WITHOUT ANY VIN or HW ID encryption.

Because I am about the community and growth of it.
Unlike you, who is a sad, repressed homosexual in russia


PRJ, you are the same filth as everyone else from that corner of the world.
You contribute next to nothing, while being a complete fucking asshole on every page.

Thats why their country has globally produced less than Africa.

Hey Dimitri, why dont you get a ticket over to Artem, and you can deliver the Penis he is always talking about.
You can encrypt things - all day together. Then you can take allll those files and shove them up your ass!


He is a russian asshat, who from what I can tell -  his work and knowledge does not match his reputation.
TBH it seems he hasnt accomplished much of anything besides harassing members here. Artem and Dimitri, havent done a fuckin thing around here besides gloat and brag about being a useless pos.

Baxter , Go finish developing the tool to suit your module and quit feeding these russian trolls and their douche circle Nyet/PRJ.

Recruit some programmers from highchool, go to the local technical college and leave pamphlets on windows of volvo drivers inviting them to a Volvo tuning convention.
You can do the same on FB, OU, CL, and other networks.
Get more people involved, rid yourself of this septic waste.

Look at his fucking avatar.

Again. Why can't you use the console tool? This tool try to find the first active DiCE unit and connect to the car. Without any checks on VIN.

Compiled with Visual Studio 2020, boost library and some patched library for open windows registry.

It definitely should be community work. But 3 years ago there were plactically nodoby to answer the questions when I learned. Every can (who can, not Vollmer) made they value to this thread. I checked my version of 5120 with Contrast's it works same way. My has one more complicated calculation of one variable but other changes are the same. So by this opened version other SW versions can be done by analogy.

You can't pay to any programmer. You haven't money for this. Nobody will do this work for free. Also you know nothing about Russia, only your propagranda. Russia is a great contry.

Disabling rear lambda with ESKONF for 50WRHJ software.
ESKONF is at 0x1260E. Default value is 0C 00 3C FC 00 FC 33 (7 bytes length) I may be wrong about lengh it can be 6 bytes.
To disable rear lambda and rear lambda heater diagnostics you need to change ESKONF to next: 0C C0 3C FC 00 FF 33

I checked pre facelift cars and non R software. It looks like the bitpair pattern is the same. Second byte must be changed to C0 (6 and 7 bits must be set). And six byte's low two bits must be set.

Zloirock has done his best for free he deserves better yes.

More information on the Denso map format. The first byte is more like an opcode, depending on it's value, it either describing a 2D map, a 3D map or or can be instructed to load some data from one address to the RAM specified in the map description.

Addendum:
In VIDA I know it has a limitation of 10-14 parameters to be monitored at the same time. I want to make a logger, but in your opinion, at what point will the RAM addresses I monitor no longer be able to keep their relationship before the data has changed? CAN can only reply so fast before it's not fast enough.

Setting up a dynamically defined record will probably give better relation between values since it will prepare the data before it is sent.

Thank you rkam, I will research in how the 0xAA command works.

In the meantime I was looking for something specific in the ROM. It was the crank/flywheel value, or more specifically, where No1 piston was aka the crankshaft angle. I saw no mention of it in DHA and I decided to trace pin A48 which is the RAW signal from the Inductance or Hall effect crank/flywheel sensor.
The odd part was, that the raw sensor signal for Crank/Flywheel went to the secondary watchdog chip. I could've missed a branch to the main SH7055 chip, but so far I cannot find a direct connection, which if true and unless I missed it, means that the main chip is receiving the Crank Angle and RPM signal from the second chip.

Secondly, I started to discover what appears to be actual obfuscation of code and jump locations. I did not expect this at all. Perhaps this is what daniel meant.

The function above jumps to r3 + pc which appears like junk bytes, but it's code hidden among "junk" looking data. This is a fairly common obfuscation technique as the disassembler loses the reference point from which to disassemble instructions.
A lot more functions started to make sense now. I wonder if it is worth it to write a deobfuscator.

Signal processing in secret separate chips has been used since early in the history of electronic fuel and ignition controllers.
In Volvo 960 Motronic 1.8 a chip TA13255A is taking care of quite a bit of input and output signals. (Most likely a variant of 8255a)
Information can be sent and received as if they were to or from RAM, in addition to timers and interrupt pulses for the main CPU.

Below is someone seriosuly investigating the same chip with a different name:

http://www.e30tuner.com/assist/m17re/m17re_022_full300x.jpg

In ME7 the main second chip is a normal C167 CPU with a little bit of internal ROM, in Denso it is an unknown CPU.

Hi,

So - I've read this thread and a bunch of other resources and am contemplating giving a go at cooking up a mild tune for my 2004 V70R MT sapphicama.
To get started, I predictably got some questions I'm hoping someone might be kind enough to help me clarify.

Current mods are as follows:
- B5234T3 block bored to 81,5mm with K1 rods and Wiseco 9:1 CR pistons (so slight deviation in displacement and CR from stock)
- Stock tune, stock injectors / maf / coils / fuel system / Pierburg TCV
- DO88 intercooler and intake piping
- Turbosmart shorty external CBV
- 3" Ferrita 200cell catted DP
- BSR catback

As it is, I'm running with the TCV unplugged (due to overboosting with it connected ever since the installation of the IC and DP which were the last mods). Even on WG pressure occasional aggressive pulls trigger a reduced engine performance message and the ecu intervenes with the power output. Now, before I even think of flashing anything, I want to figure out what exactly causes this. For that I would need to get some datalogs done and I think Vida isn't going to cut it in the long run...

So question one:
I have gathered a bunch of flashing / logging software recently made available but I can't figure out where to get the parameters list file (.exm) or if there's a way to generate it from my bin or what.. Or how exactly would one get to log with these tools?

In an effort to get an idea of what maps do what and which are going to need modification for a reliable tune, I've been comparing some QKHJ stock / Stage 1 / Stage 2 bins and am beginning to get a mild understanding of what it's all about.. However - I only have my current stock tune (which is QHHJ) in .veb format - I received this from Contrast and successfully flashed to replace the BSR Stage 1 tune that the car came with (and which ultimately lead to cracking the original engine :/) before any mods to the car and it's been fine. This veb file makes no sense to me when studied in TunerPro or WINOLS. I also have a 2003 stock QHHJ bin and I can easily locate the maps with their offsets when comparing this with the QKHJ bins. Which leads me to:

Question two and three:
Can a QHHJ .veb file be converted to .bin that would match a respective xdf?
Am I correct in understanding that a QKHJ bin could in theory be flashed to replace a QHHJ with no ill effects?

And finally, without trying to jump ahead of myself - I gather the increased CR of my engine would unavoidably call for changes in timing maps.. any pointers/experiences with this kind of setup?

I'm just getting started with this whole mapping idea and wouldn't be surprised if I'm actually in hopelessly above my head or id I can never actually summon the bollocks to flash anything but it would be an educating exercise never the less :P

Thanks!

So I've got a donor ecu, eeprom cloned and ready to tune. Some experience tuning M4.4 on my 98R. Orig file to vehicle is 50WRHJ. Currently running on stock XC70 tune, injectors and MAF. Looking to start with a stock R tune once I get the injectors swapped to the greens that are in my 98R ( It will need bigger ones eventually anyway) then progress from there probably to stage 1 as it's a daily driver. Need to figure out the MAF settings as I went ahead and bought an RS4 from the start since I only had the stock MAF. Is it as simple as loading a WRHJ bin in tunerpro and copying over RS4 MAF tables? Just want to make sure to minimize downtime and frustration. Got this engine past it's break-in and time to turn it up. Thanks in advance

Anybody interested in working together on the Volvo ME9?
For the past 6 months, I've been compiling map packs for this ECU and have pretty much a lot of them sorted out...and still adding to the list as we go.

What I am having a hard time is sorting out the logging side of things like RAM parameters, logging tools etc. I have zero disassembly skills so is a bit hard for me. I have tried doing it myself via IDA Pro but with no prior knowledge, it's looking like another wall of text to me.
I think prometey's logger would work on the ME9 but there is no way to test as I don't have RAM parameters to test it on.

I know the knowledge is within the community but seeing the current mindset on here is "I won't share information as others don't even contribute", I figured this approach would be more ideal to some.

Yes, they are similar but definitely not the same. I actually get plenty of maps migrated over basing on the Focus a2l. Issue is the addresses are totally different and some logic are totally different than Volvo ME9.

I think my logger could work with them with a few adjustments.
I checked the stack briefly and it seems to use KWP.

Probably the security is different from Ford (I already have Ford protocol working).

Also, I don't think I currently have any Volvo ME9 hex/a2l combination, and at least one will be needed to do the logging for everything else, but I think I can buy it somewhere.
I will see if I can source the data, and if so I'll probably implement it.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: keichi on February 23, 2023, 04:08:11 AM
If you don't want to do it with ignition cut, do it with fuel cut.
There is cylinder blending target, redsol.
Override the OEM code and set it to to 5 when you want full cut on all cylinders (if you have a 5 cylinder engine, sorry I'm not much into moose).
This is totally safe, as it is the same as the hard revlimiter (except the hard revlimiter is smarter and it blends cylinder count based on target).
If you want to spool turbo, you can retard ignition + implement redsol based on distance to target RPM (can be from a map). This is at a standstill of course.

This is stuff to make car fast. Not very popular these days because NLS/LC is now mostly used to make the car create toilet farting noises, instead of trying to go faster.

Your NLS becomes literally patching this in somewhere into the OEM routine that calculates redsol (after it's set):
if (nmot_w > X && wdkba > Y && vfzg > 0 && b_kuppl) {
   redsol = 5;
}

I am playing with my NLS routine. I implemented redsol as you suggested (now i retard ignition and also cut-off cylinders with redsol).
Setting redsol (anything above 0) gives interesting effects - it cuts-off cylinders in some smart pattern giving rpm drop with bonus "DSG like brrrrttt" sound :)
I belive cars with DSG's use the same method for torque reduction. But i don't care about sounds, i want the best performance.

Unfortunately setting redsol also causes closing throttle but the worst of all causes fully opening WG (0% ldtv)!
It looks like redsol activates all other torque reduction functions in addition to cutting-off cylinders.
After changing gear with NLS and releasing clutch throttle opens back immediately (that is acceptable) but WG remains at 0% for about 0,2-0,3s and then slowly opens back to desired level for 1,0-2,0 seconds! That means boost slowly rising back for up to 2s after gear change.

Pulling ignition alone (as i did before implementing setting redsol) do not activate any interventions but is not enough for NLS.
If I pull less ignition i get less overboost but too much torque and clutch is slipping. If i pull too much ignition no clutch slip but massive overboost and violent torque rush after gear change. :)
Redsol seems like perfect supplement to pulling ignition but i can't figure out how to enable cylinders cut-off without activating WG and throttle interventions.

Maybe you have some hints how to use redsol without other interventions?

Yeah, there definitely will be a demand for it. I do not have an a2l specific to Volvo bin file but I have one defined already (kp file) with most of the important maps. I will gladly share with you if that would help. The source of it are a2l from different bins which I cross-matched so the addresses are correct. So far, I've seen 3 variants of the P1 maps only. 1 for AWD, 1 for pre-2010 and one for 2011 onwards.

Maps are not interesting, OLS files are not interesting.
There is a hex/a2l combo somewhere in the wild, but so far no luck locating it.
Not a single hex/a2l combination = no logger. I don't do defs by hand, and at least one working combo is needed for the generator to work and generate the data for all the other files.
Reading the data from the ECU and passing security is piss easy, the hard part is getting the data.

I'm guessing no ME9 shit in leaked DHA either, right?
EDIT: Just checked and yes, DHA is useless for this, it's very limited.

Going to poke around some more about the A2L...
If I get lucky with the A2L, I'll include the ME9.0C in the next batch of ECU's I buy for development.

You need to start by...tracing the pcb to where a particular sensor goes, such as ADC. Of course this requires a datasheet of the CPU. From there it will be difficult, but not impossible to correlate memory addresses(with more work of course). Of course, with obfuscation in the way, it may be way more difficult unless you write a deobfuscator. Symbolic engines are good for this, but they may need to be adapted to p-code rather than the underlying architecture.

Relax, you're not going to do this on any modern ECU.
There's ols project for ME9 Volvo and there's hex/a2l for Ford ME9... quite openly available.
I just ran the ME9 Volvo through my generator based on the Ford.

Total 7809 addresses in Ford, refs were found for 4573. Out of those 4573 refs, 4058 were matched.
However, because a bunch of stuff I guess is still different, the total matched was 4332 variables after the other algos ran.

If it was a Volvo HEX/A2L, most likely closer to 7k vars would be found.
Even with those 4058 matches, most likely all the important stuff for tuning is there. Just all the Volvo specific stuff is missing and the Ford specific stuff was obviously not detected in the Volvo bin.
I used Ford PS50F200 and ran it against Volvo P020DF00.

ME9 is single core. And unlike you I know exactly what I'm talking about. https://m232.org (https://m232.org). It took years on a very simple old ECU, on any modern one it is for all intents and purposes impossible.

Remember, it's a bit like saying Denuvo is godlike or that PS5 will never have one dangling pointer, sorry I am writing in riddles, buut...
You're just talking shit at this point.

Anyway, with some help I managed to source the A2L, going to order an ECU next and implement the protocol for the logger.
It has both $23 and $2C, but I haven't checked if $2C allows to define memory locations yet.

I am not sure why you think I am talking shit. Genuinely curious. Usually these things are done by a few people, not a one man team. For myself I try and whatever happens.
If you know more, great, I also strive to know more. But to say it's impossible.... Difficult yes, taking years? Also yes. But not impossible, it's just that the time it takes to do it is a lot. A one man team could take a lot longer than years, perhaps then I could say impossible.
Seeing as you already have done it, I will root for you, you can do it.

But I would still try, it sounds fun. Maybe I just like RE.

I don't have any clue what you are even talking about tbh.

For ME9 all the OEM data is there, I bought an ECU, and once it arrives I'll add the protocol to my logger.

Here is a link to all the factory BINs i have been able to find floating around the internet for ME7.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Q6kRx-Op4WuzzTHFg6-4Cn3_tuQArLdv?usp=sharing

And here are all the XDFs i have been able to find.

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W3nmRm9APVftbeE-ZQPQF0kiaaLJW6ad?usp=sharing

I am working on a master GPHJ XDF that has everything organized, explained, and has 1 click patch functions for basic things like changing a MAF and Injectors. This should let new tuners more easily go through and edit everything.

If anyone has base BINS or XDFs of any sort, drop them in the link below, even if you think they are duplicates, ill go through them and compare the files byte by byte, rename them to something useful, and incorporate them into the above folders.

Sorry, but it is my hard policy to never share or trade any such data.
I have very little to gain and everything to lose (people won't trust me with such data anymore).

But I am sure you can find a WinOLS project for sale online for peanuts. The problem was getting it in a2l format, because I need the structure and addresses of memory cells for the logger.
Anyhow, just waiting for the ECU to arrive from Poland, and once it's here I'll get on it.

For example this place has the ols for sale:

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on March 01, 2023, 04:21:55 AM
No, it is not UDS. The transport is the same as on UDS (ISO-TP) but the service specification is different.
See ISO 14230-3 standard for service layer and ISO 15765-2 for transport protocol.

I don't know what examples you want, simply get the standards and everything is exactly written here, incl. all the examples.
J2534 device usually can do ISO-TP in hardware by opening the ISO15765 connection (0x06), so you probably do not need to worry about that if you are using J2534.
So all you need is ISO 14230-3.

$23 and $2C is present, I have not checked if $2C supports ram reading. $23 is usually behind security access, at least on Ford. This you will have to reverse from the binary.

P.S.
Maybe good idea to make separate thread about this, instead of posting everything in here. Because this has nothing to do with ME7 anymore.

I have a question about a potential issue I may encounter in the future with ME7 and I wish to be prepared. If my ECU/CEM believe I have a 2.4T5 engine, but internally it is closer to 2.0T or at best 2.3T, would this throw off the air/fuel calculations much? To simplify, would the ECU correct these differences or would it require re-tuning?

My project is to use a 2.5T head with a 2.3T block, or if I cannot find a 2.3T block, I may use a 2.0T LPT block. I lose between 200 and 500cc of volume. I don't exactly like the 2.0T block, because it is higher compression 9-9.5 or so, I believe, and is thus an LPT block.

First goal is 300hp, and I see it has been done with a 2.0T block https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDATrv_8tsc. But only after I get it to work stock just to be sure it works.

On the question why do I need to make the ECU think it's a 2.4T5 or 2.5T2? Well only because of the dual VVT setup, and only 2.5T2 and 2.4T4/T5 have this setup on P2(right?) and I cannot find a 2.4T5 block, thus anything with a 81mm bore will do it for me.

There should not be any major problems with ECU after block swap even from 2.5 to 2.0.
Any minor problems you will fix doing tune.
I would compare 2.0 and 2.5 original soft and look at maps related to engine displacement like KFMDS (engine drag). But i guess you would be ok without touching that either.
The most important is fueling and ignition! You should tune it in the first place.

2.3T5 Block shim it and reseal it up. if you're pushing power do rods pistons and new bearings

I agree with resealing! It is a must! All rubber sealing (valve seals, cam seals, orings etc.) in an old engine are plastic, brittle shit and will fall apart after few WOT pulls :)
But for 300HP stock internals in 2.3 engine are more then enough. I abuse my 2.3 with 19T turbo (around 330HP) at 1,4bar peak falling to 1,15 at redline and by abuse i mean literally abuse! Like doing tens of pulls 0-200 one after another! Flying at 200-250kph WOT for 50-100km! Turbine is literally shining like a bulb for 30-45 minutes constantly! And i do it for 2 years now and engine is perfectly fine :)
And my fueling is set at 12,0 AFR enriching to 11,8 by ATR on longer pulls. No need for any crazy fuel dumping like 10,7 at short WOT pulls :) Ignition @ 16-17 degree at 6000rpm. No knocks.
I was even thinking about putting EGT gauge but finally i gave up because whatever EGT it's ok so why bother :) Those 2.3 engines are insanely bulletproof :)

50QKHJ does not exist with EU MAN/AUT Dataset, only US MAN/AUT.

You have to build your own matching Dataset by copy changes for manual and/or for EU over.

In this software some bugs mentioned in this thread are fixed.
Small throttle opening problems, signed/unsigned errors in boost learn algorithms, and stuff i don't remember right now...

Same fixes as in GSHJ for 500kBaud Cars.

Neither of them are UDS. P02 service stack is KWP.

The P02 I am looking at is deffo not UDS.
There are services such as:
$1A, $81, $82, $20, $85.
These in a Bosch ECU mean the KWP stack is used. I did not dig deep enough to check if it's some sort of hybrid.
E.g. KWP services present, but services that have same identifier have UDS format.

So I don't know if some newer ones exist that are UDS or not.

Looked at a P01 and that has also some minimal services present. Probably needs a patch for logging though.
Or implementation of proprietary protocol.

EDIT: ECU I bought is P01.
Do you know if P01 and P02 are hardware compatible (e.g. P02 file will run in P01)? If not, I probably should buy a P02 too.

I probably will be able to.
The Ford A2L I have is way closer than the Volvo P02 A2L, and most of the RAM cell values are found for P01 using the Ford A2L, so I think the result is good enough.

Now to just figure out if I can dump a P02 BDM dump into a P01 ECU or if I need two separate ECU's.
For P01 though a patch will probably be needed (unless I decide to implement the volvo proprietary protocol I guess). P02 hopefully without.
IDK if any tools do full write over OBD, or if it's going to be a BDM job.

There's a header on top of the board on these, used it a few times on Ford, but kinda annoying.

so I couldn't find the file it was related to.
But I found another file test7.bin in my readme7 folder that was similar.

These files had direct addresses, and not offsets.
The QKHJ has an offset table.

Edit. Or maybe they are the same. Just different starting point and position.

Yeah I'm looking at GPHJ right now, seems the base address is 0x60000 and the table at C4FC returns a list of offsets. Whats more interesting is that IDA is screwing up the ram addresses:

I made a visual basic macro in excel to extract four bytes from each subroutine.

When the first two bytes are C2 F4, I calculate the RAM address from the next two.

This is done by extracting and removing the DPP number from the two address bytes.
(The two highest bits in the two-byte address if I remember correctly. C167 can be a bit annoying.)

Most will have DPP number 2 and some DPP number 3.

DPP2 is probably 0xC0.  0xC0 multiplied with 0x4000 is 0x300000
DPP3 is probably 0x03.  0x03 multiplied with 0x4000 is 0xC000

You then add 0x300000 to the remaining address (lowest 14 bits) for the values using DPP2, and 0xC000 for the ones using DPP3.

This should give you addresses like 30xxxx and Fxxx.

96FB: 1011 0000 0001 0110 1111 1011
DPP: 10 = 2
16FB: 0011 0000 0001 0110 1111 1011
Assuming DPP2=C0:  16FB+300000=3016FB

Make sue you set default segment registers in IDA: Edit->Segment->Set default segment register value for every DPP (for Volvo its. 0x4, 0x5, 0xC0, 0x3)
Then IDA can calculate physical addres from any long address for you (DPP addresing mode) by pointing value with mouse for example click on 96FBh value and press CTRL+R then select Type:DPP (other fields leave default). You will get 3016FBh. To get back to default value click it and choose Undefine operand.

General DPP calculation pattern is:  dword(DPPx SHL 14) || word(addr AND 0x3FFF)

Why not go one step further and since the DID's are going to mean the same thing across softwares, make a map between DID <-> A2L RAM ID on known software, and then you have these ram cells on every ECU?
Btw, this is the same thing ME7Info does for ME7Logger, just much less advanced.

I believe there could be some difference between models and years, so I would normally link to data for the actual units diagnose part number in Vida SQL tables.
But I have converted the A2L I have to excel, and on some old hard drive in my house I believe there is a spreadsheet comparing data from both A2L and Vida or DHA.

yes I always have set DPP properly, and started ignoring what IDA is saying and converting from the hex directly. I got about 600 variables before giving up and starting to write a simple .NET app to do it for me, much like your method but also taking into account the bitwise operations, and duplicate variables with differing masks. i realize this sort of work will not help the end user, but will be very helpful reference for anyone wanting to edit the bin assembly

[edit] i noticed the code analysis is setting DPP2 to random values in weird places, even though its set properly at the top, so at the beginning of these functions i forced DPP2 back to C0 and all the ram values lined up properly

[edit edit] also anyone else who is trying to figure this out at such a low level, do note that any time you see an 'extp' before a lookup, it changes DPP2 for the next instruction. #0C1h sets DPP2 to 0x304000, #0C2h sets DPP2 to 0x308000. This allows lookups into the 305000 and 30A000 ranges

VIDA is completely irrelevant in this case.

You know that identifier X is RAM ID Y.
All you need is a single A2L. Then you can map at least some RAM IDs on every other ECU from same family.

Regardless, I did get C167 to work in my generator tool...
Seems like I will have to implement the Volvo specific protocol anyway for ME9 P01, and it should work for ME7 too.
But probably free protocol like on ME7 isn't going to happen, since I'd still need to add defs for every single ECU by hand...
So not sure there is much point to even bother with ME7, since you guys got most of the ME7 ECU's already very well covered with an opensource tool.

Getting my ECU's tomorrow finally, so going to start working on them...

So V50 ME9 ECU only replies to a few services on KWP.
You can read and clear DTC, that's it. This is also seen in the service table, as there's those services and the rest is OBD services.

Everything else is on Volcano, so have to implement that crap.

There's also $1A, but it only responds a couple things:
0080: [ME(D)9] 5A 80 4D 45 28 44 29 39
0081: [f] 5A 81 03 97 66 FF

New version of VolvoTools. Added Mongoose JLR support. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/qHDs/RBR5724k3
Moreover logger supports j2534 devices with one CAN on 6-14 pins. Flasher wants second CAN to shutdown ECUs on slow network CAN. Maybe it can be ignored if it can't open second. I'm not sure.

P1 ME9 also should be supported.

Many of them, you could say most of them, but not all.

Is all that stuff in the A6 table? I've not looked at Volvo ME7 before.
If it is, I can write an autoparser and make a free protocol for Volvo ME7 as well.
ME9 is done now, both P01 and P02, but that's not free.

EDIT:
Looked at it, and e.g. KR is missing.
So detectors for some other stuff need to be written.
Other than that, it's possible to make a ME7Info type thing.

Unfortunately a lot of tuning related stuff is missing. Don't really have time to populate a pattern matcher.
If you want to do that, and release it, I can make a free protocol that'll automatically run it on the server...

Which VIDAs table contain such info?

under carcom there is a stored procedure called dbo.service__getblocks. execute this with the ecu variant and it will return a massive list of every piece of data that can be sent or received to that ecu

bosch me7 = 454
denso = 452

I had another look at the data, and besides knock retard, also most of the lambda and ignition path is missing.
The load and boost is better represented.

So for tuning purposes an augmentive tool needs to be written that is going to locate some more variables.
With just the VIDA data there's a bunch of critical information that is not there.

@rlinewiz
I did some analysis on your csv file, and compared it to what my generator spits out from a 1mb a2l.

You have some variables twice, some with a different address:
aftrlmx - twice with a different address
TMOTLIN - this one is as bitfield in one of them.
fdmd_m - twice
sfpurrom - twice with a different address

And then there's a bunch of stuff where the address is just wrong.
For example nstat. I did not try to compare everything else that disagreed between my generator and your VIDA parser.
I don't know if it's your processing or VIDA data is wrong or my gen is wrong.
On the bright side of things, only 2.4% disagreed, so I think you did a pretty damn good job already with the parser.

Here's my output:
Code:
f_ad2 has different address. VIDA: 0xF2F8 GEN: 0xF2D8
fcmtab has different address. VIDA: 0x3024E6 GEN: 0x30A4E6
ftead_w has different address. VIDA: 0x3019EE GEN: 0x3029EE
iptgh_w has different address. VIDA: 0x30A262 GEN: 0x30A256
iptsgl_w has different address. VIDA: 0x30A272 GEN: 0x3053CA
nstat has different address. VIDA: 0x301934 GEN: 0x30134A
sfpdskvnd has different address. VIDA: 0x303ABC GEN: 0x303B32
sfpdylsu2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303ADC GEN: 0x303B6A
sfphelsu2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B1A GEN: 0x303B6E
sfphsh2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B20 GEN: 0x303AFA
sfpiclsu2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B32 GEN: 0x303B72
sfpldo has different address. VIDA: 0x303B53 GEN: 0x303B52
sfplsuia2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B66 GEN: 0x303B76
sfplsuip2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B6A GEN: 0x303BBA
sfplsuks2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B6E GEN: 0x303C16
sfplsuun2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303B72 GEN: 0x303B20
sfpndr has different address. VIDA: 0x303B9E GEN: 0x303B1A
sfptfuel1 has different address. VIDA: 0x303BE6 GEN: 0x303B66
sfpulsu2 has different address. VIDA: 0x303C16 GEN: 0x303BEE
Different address: 19/847

I have 5145 variables found in my gen. But it does not support bitfields at all, so that's just straight 1-4 byte variables.

That said, I am happy with my output and I'll add ME7 logging to my tool as well.
I doubt a lot of people are going to pay for it, since @prometey1982 is developing a wonderful free tool, and it seems that soon there will be VIDA parsing as well included.
But since I already did the D2 protocol anyway for ME9, this is just a little bit extra code.

no parser lol, i got fed up with csharp and did it all by hand, everything is 1:1 from VIDA and from the 6000C subroutine. i noticed there are many duplicates, and its because for some reason VIDA has duplicates.. maybe sloppy programming on their part

i wrote out all the bit fields by hand as well, by calculating the AND and SHR instructions wherever they appeared. interestingly there is a lot of overlap, the same byte for example will have one name, and then the individual bits of that byte will have their own seemingly unrelated names

my goal is to import these names into IDA and start picking apart every subroutine and get an idea of how they work, so i can start identifying the 'hidden' ram locations

The 512k A2L is publicly posted in many places, just load and use that, everything important is going to be super similar, even in a 2005 car.

I'll just leave that here, so that others can also see you have no clue what you are talking about.
You could not hack your way out of a wet paper bag :)

If you ever installed the tool you would have known how stupid what you just said is. You can not "buy the logger", or I guess you could for a 7 digit offer. There is no encryption whatsoever.
Security in proper tools is done serverside. You could have a completely open client, it would do you little good, because the server does not send you anything you haven't paid for. If you want to pay me for every single SW version, go right ahead, I'll take it.
Maybe you'll buy a facebook or an amazon while you're at it, and decrypt it :D
About same level of stupid as claiming that "decrypting" WinOLS Demo will get you all reseller projects for free. Or pressing the inspect button in your browser and changing the amount of money in your bank account.

Either way, I don't give a shit.
It took me 2 days total to write both the D2 and the UDS client, without ever looking at it in the past. DHA contains all the info needed to implement the protocols.
The protocol is there, and if anyone wants to use it, they can. ME9 was done because of customer requests. ME7 was done because it's exactly the same as ME9, only the data is different.
Nobody is probably going to buy a license for a 20 year old shitter, but why not do it.

Btw, I still don't see anything you guys accomplished besides yelling really loud.
I was tuning these cars 10 years ago with just a MPPS flasher. A simple boot wire running from Pin 24 to the ignition barrel and the K-Line on some, short it, flick ignition on, flash it in the car, and much faster than using the OBD SBL based bullshit.
VIDA and DHA were already available back then. Just as they are now and the 512k A2L already leaked and it was easy to find maps with WinOLS without even opening IDA.

So what's new? The entry barrier has not been tools for over 10 years. It has been in a better place than VAG ME7, because all the OEM shit leaked.
You're pretending like it was impossible to do anything, when it really was not. The entry barrier is that a random joe is not going to be any good at tuning ME7, nothing else.

New version of VolvoTools. Added Mongoose JLR support. https://cloud.mail.ru/public/qHDs/RBR5724k3
Moreover logger supports j2534 devices with one CAN on 6-14 pins. Flasher wants second CAN to shutdown ECUs on slow network CAN. Maybe it can be ignored if it can't open second. I'm not sure.

P1 ME9 also should be supported.
Flasher not working on P1 ME9. Same with logger but older version running on P1 fine.

Thanks. The older flasher would enter boot mode (cluster would turn off) but say failed erasing after a while. The new flasher version will not enter boot mode and also show fail to erase.

CAN_XON_XOFF is some DICE specific bs, all normal J2534 adapters (including DICE) work with 5 and 6.
No idea what's different there, I know there are some people using DICE with my tool (not in Volvo application) and it works for them.

Yes, you can do it like that, but you will need to turn off the engine to switch, otherwise the ECU will reset.

Much easier to do it in software.

Nobody is going to be able to explain to you in a forum post something that takes 10 years to learn.

All the info is here:
http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0 (http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?board=21.0)

And example code has been posted for other platforms as well.
If you don't have the ability to learn/understand and don't want to pay someone, then yes make chip sandwich. Just don't try to run wire without opto or you will fry ECU.

Also, it will crash when switching on the fly. Maybe not every single time, but it will, depending on where in the checksum calculation it is.

If I use the "KFMDBGRG - Gear-dependent torque limitation to limit torque" map to limit torque in the first 2 gears do I have to use percentages of what KFMIRL/KFMIOP specifies as max load and not KFLDRX? E.g., if I put in 80% torque in first gear then the ME7 will use 80% of what KFMIRL/MIOP defines as max load and not KFLDRX? I am currently using KFLDRX to limit load and not KRMIRL/KFMIOP. Does the same thing hold for the map "KFTARX - Intake Air Temp Correction Factor for Specified Load Without Knock"?

KFMDBGRG gives absolute "torque" value (0-100%). Then it's compared against many other torque parameters (one of them comes from KFMIOP).
Then ECU selects the lowest of all torque requests and that gives misol and milsol that are used later for throttle, ignition, fuel etc. calculations.

If you want to reduce torque in FWD Volvo then i can tell that at around 330HP 80% torque is way too much at first gear :)
Factory is set at 55% in 250HP T5 and it burns tires pointlessly.

If you have more power set it even lower.

Reducing 2 gear torque is also very good choice.
Setting it to 80% gave me around 0,5s better 0-100 time:)

Thank you for your response. For my 260 HP T5, the factory setting was 100% torque in all gears (manual M66). I reduced it to 85% in 1st gear, but it was still too much on 1.0 bar of boost (stage 1).

i have a car definitely reading high. 25.5-26 psi and its reaching 1600+ KG/H which in my opinion is not correct. it should be around high 1300's to mid 1400's

the MSHFMU curve goes to 1796
im pretty sure the problem is the HFM table being all 1's.

REDMXSA addr = 0x12D73
REDMXSA value should  be changed to cylinders count = 5

After this patch is applied you have to increase KFZWMN map values in high load regions. In such case there will be not enough ignition retarding when gearbox requests torque limiting and redsol mechanics will be used for torque limiting.

Hi! I've got S60 2002 2.0t B5204T5 engine with 180ps.
I read my ecu using MPPS v18 with boot mode.
Could someone check my file is it read correct, cause it look strange for me and winols can't find any description of car or checksums.
And if someone can help me to find some basics maps, like a LDRXN for exampe I would be very grateful.

The file you posted, isn't the actual file on your car. It's not been removed right.
I can get you a 20kpsc file and tell you where to modify, but it's no good if you can't upload to the ecu right.

But what about boost? It should be dramatically falled due to injection disabling.
And one more question. This code

No. Because the throttle never closes if you shift fast then no problem with boost, recovery is instant.
What really hurts boost is shutting the throttle, this basically stops the turbo from spinning.

-20 is way too late there is no proper combustion process there...
Also idk what "launch_start_nmot_w" is set to, if it's too low then it's constantly jumping between -20 and +20 or something.

If there is wheel speed from rear wheels then you can implement torque control inside ECM. And it can also implemented by input from rear lambda sensor. But external controller should be used to generate input signal.

Nobody can answer that.
Boost obviously depends on turbo and rpm.

I never had any issues making as much boost as I wanted.

You can also start by tuning your boost control properly so that DC is not 78% when LDE is over 1 bar.

You need direct injection to do that properly, port injection is not fast enough. And if you need to ask about it you're not gonna implement it anyway...
Even on a DI ECU a lot of shit needs to be rewritten for this to work.

I easily do 1,1-1,2 bar with my anti-lag.
But i use -24 ignition retard - i checked a lot of ignition value combinations and the more retarded timing the more boost - at least on 2.3 engine with 19T turbo :)
And i control rpm by histeresis setting redsol between some arbitrary values like 1 or 3. I do not use redsol 5 at all - it is basically "shutting off" the engine and boost drops a lot :)
I think your code too much utilizes redsol 5.
And of course i dump as much fuel as possible to cool things down a bit because EGT goes crazy :) Is jumps to like 980-1000 degree in 1-2 seconds :)


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on May 24, 2023, 03:55:13 AM
-24 is just burning it with valve open, that's why EGT is insane.
Should never be neccessary.

I think two problems here that are clear.
a) Bad boost control, N75 not 95% with big LDE.
b) Bad camshaft maps. Camshafts should be in overlap to make boost, but in log intake camshaft looks in late position.

Then no need for stupid amount of ignition retard.

Ok, I'll check launch with max redsol = 3. Which launch RPM are you use?


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on May 24, 2023, 04:29:54 AM
No idea what values you are logging, but if on throttle you move both camshafts exactly the same then result is same overlap as if you would not move them.
As I said, I never had any issues making whatever boost on any car, and I have never needed to melt the exhaust manifold to do it.
From the log you're always on redsol 5, that's also why it does not make any boost...

Rewrite your logic to use nmax with throttle and just add 1-2, max 3 redsol.
Of course maybe you're running something like a GT40, then that's a bit tough to spool on a small engine and requires a transbrake...


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: keichi on May 24, 2023, 04:58:08 AM
Ok, I'll check launch with max redsol = 3. Which launch RPM are you use?

It's rolling anti-lag, not off-line launch.
I do not use fixed rpm. It keeps (saves in variable) whatever rpm currently the car is when i activate function (pressing pedal to the floor and pressing CC button).
At around 3500rpm it builds 1,0 bar easily. At higher rpm even more.

Of course maybe you're running something like a GT40, then that's a bit tough to spool on a small engine and requires a transbrake...
I implemented my rolling anti-lag on the car with GT35 and it does like 2,0 bar (relative not absolute!) easily :) On GTX30 gen II it does 1,6bar but on mild ignition (around -15 as i remember).


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:

What would be the correct KRKTE value to run green injectors in a 4T5 engine? I first used the stock R value (0.07235), but it didn't result in a smooth idle (obviously, as the displacement of both engines is different). Using the ME7 KRKTE calculator, I am now running a value of 0.06889, which results in a smoother idle but the engine is still bouncing rpm sometimes.

NEW_KRKTE = (OLD_FLOW * OLD_KRKTE) / NEW_FLOW
No need to use any calculator any factor for KRKTE etc.
Just use pure HEX value from BIN (convert it to decimal for convenience and back to hex).

That formula is spot on; NEW_KRKTE = (368.4 * 0.08193) / 446.7 = 0.06757. The difference in value is close to the what the long term fuel trim correction (-1.5%) was using my old KRKTE value of 0.06889. This might not be the explanation that my engine sometimes has a jumpy idle, could a bad MAF be another option?

I have same behaviour on idle on cold engine with lean burn. When I start moving with rotated wheels without touching the throttle revs sometimes drops and restores. I think it happens due to 2.4 engine with R flash. At least KISRM should be adjusted to different displacement. And maybe KFPRG and KFURL maps.

KFPRG/KFURL irrelevant if you are using MAF.
KISRM mostly irrelevant, it's only a rate of change limiter for ps_w.

What model year do you have and what engine?
If you switched from "blue" to "green" injectors then you still have wrong KRKTE :)
Do not use flow values found somewhere on the internet - they are all wrong because they vary a lot depending on test medium, pressure and units :)
Bosch gives precise flow for their injectors in the same units and medium@pressure. Use them.
For blue it's 261,2 and green 310,1. So your KRKTE should be 0,06902.
Fuel trims at low injection times may be wrong because you also should change TVUB - injector dead times.
For greens they are slightly lower then for blues - at least looking at stock S60R and 2.3T5 software.

And about jumpy idle. Check injection times on idle. Maybe you are at injector non-linear flow area.
Green injectors have poor linearity on low injection times.
I was struggling with rough idle in my 2.3 T5 with green injectors. When i switched to Bosch 550cc (newer construction i belive) it is much better - they have better linearity at very low injection times.

My map is based on a stock 50GPHJ bin from a T5 2.4, and I had the same issue (only with a cold engine). I haven’t had the drop in rpm since changing the KRKTE to 0.06757, however, it has been relatively hot in Europe, so it might be temperature related.

I am using green injectors in a 2.4 T5. Flow rates may be different because of the different fuel pressure? For example, my stock value for blue injectors is 368.4. In R bin files, the flow rate of the green injectors is 446.7, so that is why I used that flow rate. TVUB is similar, I believe.

You can measure injector flow in many different ways at whole range of pressures.

When you set KRKTE and only thing you change are injectors it doesn't matter what is your cars fuel rail pressure, engine displacement etc.

Only test bench measured flow for new and old injector matters.

People used to give flow numbers in cc/min and green injectors are told to be around 440 but this is totally irrelevant and actually wrong :)
This number doesn't mean anything and you MUST NOT use it for any calculations - treat it just as an alternative name for green injector. It can be "Injectors 440" or "Injectors over 9000" or "Injector bilion" or whatever :)

Just look at BOSCH data sheet and get flow numbers they provide. BOSCH measure flow of their injectors in totally different way but it doesn't matter :) Just take those number from BOSCH and put them into the equation: NEW_KRKTE = (OLD_FLOW * OLD_KRKTE) / NEW_FLOW :)

Hey guys, it's been a while. Much to catch up on and lots of re-reading to do for me. :D

So I bought a 2001 V70 T5 FWD automatic last year. And now I want a little more out of it. I don't want to do anything fancy for this car as it has a high mileage, is a FWD and automatic.

If I want to raise boost a little, say, max 1.1 bar from about 3k to 5.5k RPMs and taper off to about 0.8 bar at 6200+, is it enough just to bump LDRXN values, or should I also adjust LAMFA? Or is it vital to also touch maps like KFLDHBN and KFZW? As I'm saying, I'm not expecting to make anything fancy out of this car.

When I wanted a little more out of my 2.4T MT, vwdenisvw suggested:
"The boost can be increased to 0.8 bar with standard injectors 831. For a start, it's enough to simply increase the ldrxn values. And adjust a little afr to 0.87-0.9 in lamfa. For all stock, this will be enough."
I adjusted LDRXN a little (about 0.72 bar max) and didn't touch LAMFA. STFTs and LTFTs seemed fine, as well as AFRs. I could feel the car was "more alive", but also a little more hungry for fuel.


The gearbox in my T5 is Aisin AW55-50. I'm reading that there is a 350 Nm torque limitation on 1st and 2nd gears, is it true? I'm also reading that this gearbox isn't very robust. So I'm thinking if it's worth raising boost at all. Although mine still works fine and the oil is nice and red (seems it has been serviced fine).

Stock MIOP/MIRL load axis is up to 180. This is sufficient for 1.3bar tapering to 1,15 at redline. This is more then stock 16T is capable of so no need to change that on stock turbo.

Beware of adjusting LAMFA or BTS :)
Stock those maps are set to 1,0 and fueling rely mostly on ATR and DLBTS (do not confuse with LBTS).
Setting fuel in LAMFA and LBTS only cause massive overfueling on longer pulls.

While what you say is true for BTS, it is not true for LAMFA.
LAMFA is a completely different path and the result is min(LAMFA,BTS), it is not additive.

LAMFA should be very much used for adjusting fueling at WOT for best power. It is by far the best map to do so.

In this car there is massive dlamatr_w enrichment that is added to min(LAMFA, BTS).
So changing LAMFA without leaning ATR gives too much fuel.

The richer LAMFA also calculates (or measures in case of real sensor) a lower exhaust gas temperature. So unless you go super rich on LAMFA it is not going to do too much.

For ATR to go super rich on these it's not so much LAMFA as just increasing load is enough, even with complete stock everything else.
If you do a pull on dyno with more boost it goes to 0.7 or something stupid.

Using the conversion formula from S4Wiki, load value 180 would result to approx. 1.1 Bar? Or maybe I'm just bad at math haha. I know it's not a direct relation to "boost", but it makes it easier to grasp the idea.


For ATR to go super rich on these it's not so much LAMFA as just increasing load is enough, even with complete stock everything else.
If you do a pull on dyno with more boost it goes to 0.7 or something stupid.
So just increasing the load limit will result in very rich mixture when on WOT, and adjusting LAMFA will not help much? If so, why so many people choose this method for a Stage 1 tune?

Conversion from load->boost vary between engine sizes, factory calibration philosophy etc.
In your car 180 load is around 1,2 bar not 1,1 :)

Stock turbo is capable to do 180 load and maybe slightly above up to around 5000rpm in ideal conditions (cold weather) and with supporting mods like exhaust and IC. Then it will fall off regardless.
Simply speaking stock load axis is enough for stock turbo to make max power.

Of course 180 load may not be sufficient if you tune for diesel-like power curve with insane low-mid-range torque falling hard afterwards :)
Some people like to have car that fells/looks fast but is not :)
If you want to have faster car - put bigger turbo. Stock TD04HL-16T is week as fu** :) And do not put any stupid 19T or 21T or whatever hybrid. All those TD04 family turbos do is clog the exhaust :)
Any fun starts from TD05 or GT30 etc :)

2.3 engine bears 1,4-1,5bar. With proper turbo this gives 4xx+ HP and this is more or less when fun starts :)

Of course then you have to recalibrate MIOP/MIRL tables :)

It's all about VE.

If your VE is for example 85% at some RPM them 180% load is 180/85 = 2,118 wich at bosch standart conditions is 2118mbar (25°C, 1010mbar atmosferic)

2118mbar at sea level is 1,128bar boost
2118mbar at 900mbar elevation pressure will be 1,218mbar

The easiest way is to repurpose a message that already exists in the ECU but that is disabled via CW_CAN_S.
That way everything is set up for you already, and you just need to splice code.

Otherwise the C167 reference manual is a good start, find out how the CAN is setup and add another message queue (if any are available).

As well as any limiters there were. I also wrote my own can logger and this is the result. I believe my MAF readings look a tad bit too low at that RPM range.

(https://imgur.com/tyiPu4t.png)

Gear ratio 3.00 would imply 2nd gear, but don't quote me on this. In any case, the torque curve for true 170hp(although manual) says 168hp at 6000RPM. I understand estimating HP can be difficult from MAF g/sec, but 121g/sec*1,25 = roughly 150hp, but definitely not 168. I would've expected at least 132-133 grams per second.

Now, I have no idea if this is normal for Denso and the famous magnetti marelli ETM, but Accel pedal at 40% = pretty much 99% open throttle.

The spark advance is likely raw and the retarding compensations are not factored in, in my opinion.

Healthy 2.4 170HP peaks around 135g/s. I checked it recently :)

At what RPM if you remember? According to the wiki article, 170hp peaks at 168hp at 6000RPM.

There are however a few caveats about my car. I had fiddled with the head(I removed a few rough castings from the valve bowls) but also suspect my catalytic converter is clogged. So if the programming of the ECU is correct(140hp -> 170hp), all that is left is mechanical problems.

Peak HP is usually not at the same rpm as peak MAF.

HP = constant * MAF
This common formula for estimating HP is actually real formula from combustion engines theory.
But with one exception that "constant" is not constant but parabola (looking from lowest rpm it's low then goes up - best efficiency somewhere in mid range - and then falls again afterwards until N-max) and defines combustion efficiency and is between around 1.1-1.6. Inverted is around 0.6-0.9.
That is where popular 0.8 divider for MAF->HP estimate comes from :)
Combustion efficiency depends on many things like compression ratio, head flow, piston speeds and diameter, ignition, mixture etc.

So simply speaking, if your engine peak HP is at 6000rpm, peak MAF may be little further because it's rpm range where efficiency is falling fast(usually).

I just looked at my primitive OBD data logger and i got peak 135g/s at 96km/h falling to 129g/s at 105km/h (rpm limiter at 2 gear) - it's P1 V50 but it doesn't matter - engine and ECU is the same as yours :)
I don't have engine rpm at saved log only GPS speed (you can easilly calculate rpm from that) and MAF because this is some basic demo version app that i randomly use for basic diagnostics.

I am very happy that I finally have a more coherent understanding of how Denso calculates the CAN IDs(signal configuration) for the streaming data, as well where they are set, and how the ECU chooses what data through which CAN ID it should send it.
The signal configuration, which is how the bit timing params as well as mailbox CAN IDs are stored is a 32-byte structure. The interface for selecting which data goes through what ID is described in a 24 byte structure array, which contains pointers to the main signal configuration, which itself is passed as a pointer such as CANSend_Byte(interface, data), where interface is an offset within the structure array.

All thanks to @rkam of course, in fact it's his little tidbit from over half a year ago which went right over my head that made it possible. In fact he literally spoonfed the information to me.

Now, some people have told me, that these CAN IDs present in the signal configuration could be extrapolated from data from VIDA by using the VIN number. For instance ID 0080401E for me is streaming data such as RPM and Throttle Opening Angle and/or Accelerator pedal position. But this requires a bruteforce approach(sniffing) or studying the assembly to figure out what is being sent there as well as the full reverse engineering of the signal configuration. The VIDA method apparently could already tell you this, according to these people, but I guess I am bit skeptical of that.

Now I am onto the maps, even when I do a binary diff of 140/170hp and see the other maps I didn't copy and find the corresponding code where they are read, there is no information on what those maps do. Very mathy stuff. So even if I copy/paste them, I have no idea what it is they do. This is sort of problematic, because I have some plans and these plans either require me to know exactly what these maps do or go hard on a piggyback ecu.

Why can't you just swap to Bosch ME7 ECM? You spent so much of your time to useless work. NA engines are dead end.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on August 12, 2023, 10:42:15 AM
I had almost everything, the wiring harness, the Bosch ECM from 2.5T, but some things happened and I had to abandon the idea and just get the car working as I was out of a car for 5+ months. At that point I simply wanted my car so I can drive again. It was a hellish road paved with good intentions. I also had some personal issues and a family relative's passing.

Plus , I am reverse engineering the NA Denso ECU for fun as well. Additionally knowing how the signal configuration works(though again Denso != Bosch) means that people could better pair various ECM,TCM,BCM,ABS modules by fixing the CAN IDs.

Here is the fun part, I've "unlocked" my car to 168hp, but the MAF is saying 121 grams peak so long ways off, so I missed something clearly. I just don't like it when I leave stuff like this unfinished, it was my original goal.

Then we are going the turbo route. The block will be fine with low boost, I only regret not shimming it, but there are reasons for this. The block slits were varying in width. I had some 0.08mm and some 0.05mm. All the information I had prior to me discovering this, was that they were even width more or less, my cylinder spacings were definitely different for each cylinder.

Another issue there may be which will impede my turbo conversion is the 0.06mm warpage of the block. This is why the final angle torque was 150 degrees on each bolt, rather than 130 as standard.

In any case, I need some more time to get the car in good working order.

All of this information is in this thread, granted its a massive fucking thread now and searching doesnt work right, but in a nutshell, there's no real difference unless you're a stickler. If you keep your auto bin, the car will drive fine, but you may experience sloppy shifts and rev hangs. If you change AUTGET in your bin to 0, it will smooth things out quite a bit. If you flash a bin meant for a manual (assuming you dont brick your car) it will be as though the car was always a manual.

No, it does not work like that on Volvo in all cases.

In your bin you have the signal database matching the can matrix of the car. Using a wrong bin file leads to errors on lost messages.

Then you have to have the correct electronic throttle body software part in the code of your bin.

Then there were changes in Variable Valve timing actuators and sensors over the years.

It will work with certain bins when they are quality updates or from other markets maybe. US / EU has HW differences, but not always.

But if you want to be safe, use the same base.

If you post your original bin, im sure someone has the corresponding manual bin for you and can tell you the correct software base.

Yup I am guessing when Volvo changes one thing, say adding one more parameter to the streaming CAN data, they have some relational database and regenerate the signal configuration automatically for the entire car or at least for the modules that co-depend on the specific CAN ids.

The old Denso ECM had the code for CAN really obscured by these handlers, but the TCM on the other hand was a lot more clear. A lot less indirection in my opinion. I was able to correlate a lot of communication between ECM<->TCM on variables which were not described in DHA.

At the very least I now know which parameter is shuttled from which id

It has been a while, but actually you didnt mention what gearbox the P1 v50 had. It is absolutely critical that I know the gear ratio which is different for the 2 versions of AW55 and wildly different between the many manual versions(e.g M56L, M56HK, M56K etc) and also tyre circumference

I tried a few combinations of gear ratios and could not find one gearbox where presumably 1st gear is 96km/h. But even so, for maf to fall to 129g/s at rpm limiter(7000?) that would mean you have gone much higher than 7000 rpm)

My engine/tranny is limiting torque at 2nd gear and at 3rd for me to reach rpm limiter I need to be going over 170kmh. Realistically my box will shift much sooner than that.

when AUTGET is 0, gangi is calculated using speed/load/rpm
when AUTGET is 1, gangi is taken from the TCM via canbus
bitflipping works okay enough for most bins, but can be a bit janky. always best to start with the proper stock bin matching your transmission, to avoid rev hang, sloppy shifts, and to keep cruise control working properly

we've lined up others using ram dump and good xml but for some reason this one doesn't wanna agree

@keichi, thanks man! I will do some calculations later on.

I have a question. I don't like my pedal response on my car, the travel time is a lot, but the percentage is not a lot. Basically I feel like I've pressed the pedal a lot, I look and see 33% percentage for example. I press some more and reach the kickdown switch at which point it feels like I've traveled 90% of the pedal(and physically I have), but it's position is 53%. The most mapping I've seen is 73% at full press which is 13% smaller than turbo versions. This doesn't seem like it ever reaches large chunks of the ECU tables/maps the way they are configured.
I looked at the code and the easiest change I can do is fix the factor in the car, as the pedal sends the signals to the ECU it is multiplied by 0x3E8 or 1000. I decided I could patch this factor in my car and multiply by say a slightly larger number and get something like realPedalPos * 1,35. So if my pedal was originally 53% * 1,35 = 71 before the kickdown and after kickdown it would become 98%, the ECU will cap it to 100% so it can never exceed it.

On paper it sounds like a great idea, but this will raise the overall signal so even idle position of pedal is affected and thus RPM probably. At idle the pedal pos is 7% and * 1,35 = 9,45. I found no better way.
Thoughts on this?

The other option is to buy a pedal commander or something like that.

I was able to commute from work to home with 5120 hack. Throttle works sligtly jerky. Still not all maps were propertly scaled but anyway it works. Fuel pressure variable was scaled to get right values from FRLFSDP map. FRLFSDP axis was downscaled to 50%.

ahh so we should 1/2 this axis?

On dyno i always get worse results then on the road.
No dyno can supply even close airflow to the road.
AFAIK the best dyno fans can do around 50km/h of airflow.
And many dynos have even worse fans.

I always see worse MAF readings (so less power) on the dyno then on the road. The hotter outside temperature the more difference between dyno and road.
F.e. my exact same setup did 337HP in the summer (35+ degree) and 390HP now in winter (+5degree).
In the summer MAF readings on dyno were like 25-30g/s less then on the road (and less timing not to mention IC temps) and in the winter just around 5-6g/s less, but still less then on the road.

Do you have dyno chart with stock cam maps for comparison?
And do you have 100% stock head, valves and springs etc.? You rev it quite high :)

This is simply not true.
You probably have never been on a proper dyno.

I can do long pulls on mine without IAT issues, but then I have a special air duct with two centrifugal fans blowing air.
If you max out the fans and stand in front of the chute you have issues holding your balance.
Of course when you have a huge ass axial fan blowing air everywhere where it's not needed, then it's a problem.

If you actually use fans that are good at creating pressure, and then blow that in a narrow stream at the front radiator then it's a completely different story.
I have often better IAT on my dyno than on the road...

Anybody interested in working together on the Volvo ME9?
For the past 6 months, I've been compiling map packs for this ECU and have pretty much a lot of them sorted out...and still adding to the list as we go.

What I am having a hard time is sorting out the logging side of things like RAM parameters, logging tools etc. I have zero disassembly skills so is a bit hard for me. I have tried doing it myself via IDA Pro but with no prior knowledge, it's looking like another wall of text to me.
I think prometey's logger would work on the ME9 but there is no way to test as I don't have RAM parameters to test it on.

I know the knowledge is within the community but seeing the current mindset on here is "I won't share information as others don't even contribute", I figured this approach would be more ideal to some.
Are you still here? I started work on P3 ME9 flashing. I have the bootloader for ME9 and will make a flashing tool. But memory logging for UDS protocol isn't clear for me.

Disabling rear lambda with ESKONF for 50WRHJ software.
ESKONF is at 0x1260E. Default value is 0C 00 3C FC 00 FC 33 (7 bytes length) I may be wrong about lengh it can be 6 bytes.
To disable rear lambda and rear lambda heater diagnostics you need to change ESKONF to next: 0C C0 3C FC 00 FF 33

I checked pre facelift cars and non R software. It looks like the bitpair pattern is the same. Second byte must be changed to C0 (6 and 7 bits must be set). And six byte's low two bits must be set.

Digging lately in Volvo ESKONF. Looks like all sw. versions use the same pattern and 7 bytes length (50WRHJ also).
To disable rear O2 heater diagnosis (it will still feed current to heater but disable triggering trouble code) just change 4rd bitpair in second byte to 11b.
1st bit pair in 6th byte is ignition coil no. 3. Do not change that :)
Last 7th byte may differ the most between software versions (there is f.e. EVAP or ECU fan diagnosis - for cars that have one)

I checked 20KPSC, 50QHHJ and 50WRHJ - all have the same pattern except last B6.
Nevertheless all that will ever be needed is eventually disabling rear lambda heater so all other ESKONF items doesn't matter but it was fun to reverse engineer it :)

Disabling rear lambda heater can also be done using diagnostic trouble codes table.
ME7 algorithm first checks ESKONF and if diagnostics is allowed then it eventually jumps to DTC triggering routine.
DTC triggering routine checks trouble codes table (starting from CLAAAA) if particular DTC code class is "active" (not zero).

Also DTC triggering can be fired from other places in the code so it probably is better to disable DTC triggering.
For example CDHSH codeword specify if rear O2 heating diagnosis should be done at all.
But ECU will stil be able to set DTC by power stage diagnosis (ESKONF) :)

Summing up, just disable diagnostics trouble table class item :)

Disabling the fault class only hides the DTC from OBD diagnostics, the ECU detects the fault and behaves according to detecting the fault.
For example in case of EVAP the fuel trim will be off.

Turning off DTC classes is never the right solution, and is a bad practice.
It is not needed to disable a single fault class in the ECU to remove various componenets.

I agree :) ECU can still diagnose things and react "silently" if error detected.
That's why usually neither disabling ESKONF or disabling error class is necessary and shouldn't be done.
I think rear O2 heating can be exception from this rule. I see no point in leaving DTC for this particular error class especially if you remove rear lambda completely :)

If you disable the codewords and the diagnosis correctly there is no need to ever touch any fault classes.
Fault class literally is "how to show fault to the user if it is detected". Should it illuminate the CEL, flash the CEL, should it throw a code etc.
If diagnosis is off, then no fault is ever detected thus changing fault classes is not necessary.

ESKONF should absolutely be changed if there is no longer a component attached to the end stage.
You are telling the ECU that it is no longer there.
Your advice to change fault classes is straight up wrong, that's why I'm calling you out on it.

Do you know description of error class? I tried to restore boost after overboost error. Is it relates to error type? Or is it must be done with healing path for this error?

I totally agree. Modify ESKONF only when component is removed.
But if you can't decode ESKONF pattern for particular sw then there is no other way but "hack" DTC table.
Fortunately looks like all Volvo sw have the same pattern :)

Do you know description of error class? I tried to restore boost after overboost error. Is it relates to error type? Or is it must be done with healing path for this error?

Overboost error (E_ldo) should heal itself when particular conditions are met.
E_ldo is set when lde+DLUL > KFDLULS(nmot, plsol) after time delay TULV1.
Then rlmax folows LDORXN.
Then E_ldo is reset again when lde is within limit && nmot > NDLDRAPU && B_lde (requested boost >1.0) after time delay TULV3

But i wouldn't recommend anyone "solving" overboost issue by raising KFDLULS and/or TULV1.
Fast way to blow something up :)
Proper way is to tune boost PID so it stays within limits.

It's rather the other way (other way then ignition for example). Negative valves open earlier, positive later.
To achieve the best torque you open intake valves sooner on low rpm and later on high.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: dikidera on December 28, 2023, 05:55:58 AM
I was asking because from what I see on the non turbo versions, there are no negative values, it's either no advance(0 degrees at very high RPM) or maximum advance of 40 degrees in low rpm as you said for better torque.

But the values I have are all positive, never negative so I was just surprised. But hey, different ecus and different reference points.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on December 28, 2023, 06:12:53 AM
On NA you don't have any significant backpressure that you need to deal with.
The reason that on turbo you have to retard the intake cam a lot on high rpm is that if you have overlap then EMP makes cylinder filling drop off a cliff, as during the overlap phase it pushes exhaust backwards into the intake, and then back into the cylinder.
When pushing high EMP at high RPM even the exhaust cam tuning can make quite a lot of difference as it further allows you to reduce the overlap.

You really need to understand the combustion process and the function of the engine. Looking at the ECU like an excel spreadsheet makes very little sense when the fundamentals are not there.

Denso can has different centerpoint. For Bosch ECM with 2 VVT is 25 degrees. So -25 means 0 shift from startpoint. Looks like for Denso 0 means zero shift i.e. maximum advance. And if your want to choose the best VVT positions then you should run on dyno with 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 VVT positions and then choose best values for the RPM range.

Unless the engine is highly modified it is a waste of time because stock map is already going to be tuned for best power at high rpm.
If the engine is not DI, low RPM won't be tuned for best power, but tuning it for best power will result in absolutely insane fuel consumption and cat fouling because you'll be dumping straight fuel into the exhaust.

An extreme example is the MIVEC in the later Mitsubishi Evo's where the range is large and advancing the camshaft at low RPM results in having to add 25-30% fuel, because a bunch of it just goes right into the exhaust.
The fuel consumption is also more similar to a V8 than a R4 after that :D

In case of Volvo's turbo engines they are tuned not propertly from the factory. I ran on dyno with different VVT positions and stock intake VVT positions isn't optimal. They move from -25 to 0 too early. And in high RPM range they move camshaft also not optimal. Need more retard. Exhaust VVT maps which I posted also helps to add torque in low RPM range.

Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on December 28, 2023, 09:44:04 AM
The reason is tradeoff between efficiency and power.
The more overlap you add on low RPM on non-DI engine the more fuel goes in the exhaust.

Also in your case as I understand engine is not stock - turbo is not stock.
The bigger the turbo is, the more benefit you have keeping advance for longer.

If you log EMP by adding a sensor and then empirically find the optimal advance, you will find that EMP and advance have a very strong correlation.
Larger turbo -> less EMP ->  can advance longer.

There is more to fueling then KFLBTS. There is also KFDLBTS (addition), LAMFA, ATR (addition), warmup-fueling, cat-heating fueling and so on.
Mainly it's LAMFA. BTS, ATR but it depends on software version.

Thank you for confirming.

In that case, I don't know what is going on as my BTS map (specifies 0.797 @ 183 load) is already a lot richer compared to the lambts_w value from the log here at 216 load. Shouldn't it be at least richer than my actual BTS map, because the addition can only add fuelling? What could be another issue causing this?

(https://i.postimg.cc/Hnc4RY31/temp-Image-P5-X6t-V.jpg)

Also with regards to the KFMDBGRG map, the ECU does not seem to limit any load based on the gear according to the logs (the KFMDBGRG map limits the load based on the DRX, correct? So 70% of power means 70% of DRX at that RPM).

I logged the car again and flashed the ECU with a weird oscillating BTS table just to see if changes have an effect - they do, but the targets do not translate 1:1 from the table to the log (e.g., requesting a minimum 0.81 lambda @ 6000 rpm through KFLBTS results in the ECU setting lambts_w to 0.84 @ 6000 rpm).

Furthermore, even though my CWTATR is set to 0, the ECU seems to request a rich lambda on deceleration through lamsbg_w, which table would request something like this?

Happy New Year!

Just wanted to drop by and say that. Not to go off topic, but it's been a little over a year now I've been reading this thread over and over just about every day, and I wanted to express my appreciation to you all for all I've learned. Because of this site, this thread, and the people therein, I've learned to do some pretty amazing things. I'm not going to go into detail but I'm working on some pretty deep stuff, and I remain committed to giving back to the community rather than using this info for profit.

Thank you all, and keep up the great work!

I am thinking my BTS fuelling is not working 100% because of cross flashing to 50GPHJ instead of changing the 50WRHJ the car came with from stock (I don't have the correct parameter log file to log on a 50WRHJ).

I flashed back to a 50WRHJ file and the car is driving much smoother. On the 50GPHJ file, the car had checksum errors in the ECM plus a not working rain sensor (for 9 months on the 50GPHJ file I had a not functioning rain sensor and now the minute I flash to the 50WRHJ file, its working again). I have no idea how the rain sensor and the ECU software are connected.

I don't think that is the reason for the BTS fueling not working right, logging in more detail I am sure it can be easily found.

That said, I have support for 50WRHJ in my logger if you want to go that route.

Please be aware, that since 50WRHJ new software versions are not named correctly. A different scheme is used to distinguish them.

There are at least four different versions of 50WRHJ with different software layout. And different diagnostic ids.

Best way in my opinion is to request or compare diagnostic id, which tells you which memory value is which diagnostic id.

Regarding BTS: there are some error paths which trigger different behaviour in fueling / BTS. They might got triggered in your cross flash environment. But what you describe sounds for me like cat protection or head protection which has a higher priority over BTS in Volvo files.

On those ECU's where there is EPK present (search for /1/) you have to use the EPK to identify the ECU.

Not really a "possibility", rather the only correct way to do this for ram logging.
There's a lot of software with the same EPK and it makes zero sense to have separate definitions for all of them.

For US we got a final update 50GSHJ 05+ manual 05 auto which runs really good.
Works on 06-07 tf80 cars but no cruise control in 6th gear so we still use the wra72 wrhj variant for those.
Cross flashed many, never any issues

05+ final update ( facelift and newer )
only seem to be US bins, how like QKHJ is US 2007 update for the pre facelift 04
he can try these, it is a US bin so he'd have to use an EU ESKONF and hopefully thats it just to test the BTS in the logs.
GPHJ lines up with it well, most of the addresses are close, i made a small pack for it.

You need to set GAFGRO (max. permitted gear during active cruise control) from 5 to 6. But anyway 50GPHJ works poor with TF80. Maybe 50GSHJ works but I didn't check it.

I want to implement such functionality but don't fully understand how it works. Possible implementation can be:
1. If cruise is disabled and cruise + button is pressed more that N seconds then
2. Save current speed to the variable
3. Push pedal to the metal and control current speed to saved by ignition angle retarding.
4. If it not enough then we can drop torque by cylinders injection disabling.
5. When cruise+ button is released then we disable previous mechanics.

1. On trigger save current rpm.
2. Have a 3d map with latest safe ignition (to not create egt problem)
3. Have another map that sets redsol based on RPM delta.

If a lot of EGT issues set NMAX temporarily to current saved RPM, so it closes throttle a little too.

There will be a problem with automatic transmission. Because on full throttle gearbox will switch to lower possible gear. So I prefer to save speed not rpm.

EGT with retarded ignition means something else then EGT at normal ignition.
The more advanced ignition the more heat is absorbed by cylinder walls, pistons and valves and less is dumped into exhaust.
When retarding ignition a lot of heat is dumped directly into exhaust and EGT probe sees more heat.

But if injection is disabled on some cylinders (with redsol) total amount of heat generated by combustion is less then normal
So I would not be worried too much about high EGT during anti-lag.

Of course although anti-lag produces less heat then normal this heat go to parts of the engine that it is not supposed to - to exhaust valves, manifold and turbine and cause a lot of stress on those.
But there is nothing that can be done about that. They just have to bear it :)

EGT can be misleading also when it goes down :)
When i tune cars, i start from "safe" ignition that give huge EGT then advance ignition and EGT go down.
But it doesn't mean engine is cooler but just less heat reach EGT probe and at the same time our pistons and cylinders are more heat stressed :)

I think you need to go back to school and re-learn the first and second laws of thermodynamics.
Of course it means that the combustion chamber is cooler. This might be the most stupid thing I've read on here in a long time.

The same amount of fuel burned produces the same amount of energy. It gets converted to kinetic energy that pushes the piston and to heat.
Ignition angle in an ICE is the efficiency of conversion to kinetic energy. Given the same charge in the cylinder less efficient combustion directly heats the combustion chamber.
Everything that is in the combustion chamber gets hotter, and also the exhaust gas gets hotter. The exhaust gas does not magically teleport to the EGT probe, it exits the combustion chamber. What you see on the runner or at the turbo is already at way lower temperatures than what is in the combustion chamber.

Well maybe master's degree at combustion engines theory is not enough (yeah i'v done such studies, very interesting and useless knowledge :) there is so little demand for combustion engines theorists that they closed this specialisation at my university few years later - just one guy found job in this specialization, he is designing diesel truck engines for one of big companies :)

But regarding engines and combustion :) i belive you are confusing concepts, no offense :)
There is no conversion of burned fuel into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is related to velocity not thermal transformation.
Burning fuel is only needed to raise temperature of air in the combustion chamber.
When air in the combustion chamber get hotter according to 2nd rule of thermodynamic then pressure rises.
This pressure then push the piston.
Combustion is actually irrelevant for making power. There are external combustion piston engines like Stirling engine. All that matters is to heat up the medium (air) to rise the pressure.
There are even piston engines that do not need to heat up medium at all - they just use external source of pressure (pneumatic engines) that push pistons.

In internal combustion piston engine we burn fuel to heat up medium and rise pressure.
The earlier we ignite mixture the more time heat will have to penetrate pistons, cylinders and head. More of this heat will be absorbed by the engine.
If we retard ignition heat will have less time to be absorbed by the engine and more of it will be thrown out of the exhaust - that's wy EGT goes up when we retard ignition.

The more energy is spent pushing the piston, the less waste heat there is. First law of thermodynamics, such a difficult concept to grasp, I know.
Earlier timing causes higher PCP and more work extracted from the same amount of charge. It also causes a much shorter and faster burn. The time is important.

The charge is constant, you're not magically adding or removing energy by moving the ignition point.
You are simply controlling the amount that gets converted into motion and the amount exhausted as heat.

I really can't tell anymore if the problem is that your English is just bad or that you have some fundamental issues with concepts.

In case this was true, then the lowest heat would be "absorbed" at ATDC ignition. Yet this will quickly melt the pistons and valves.
So no, in the context of heat transfer, there is much more total heat transferred to the combustion chamber, especially at the exhaust portion with retarded ignition.

Again, first law of thermodynamics. In the end, kinetic energy is extracted from oxidizing the fuel...
The fact that there is not a direct transformation is irrelevant. Yes, there is an adiabatic process in between, so what?

Compression and then decompression of burning mixture is irrelevant.
Of course when we compress air it warms up and then cools down on decompression but sum of energy is zero.
It's not heat that does work (push piston) but pressure.
Heat is just there to produce pressure.

Peak combustion temperature reach 2200C and average is around 1500C (gasoline).
This is how hot burning gasoline gets.

It doesn't matter if you ignite mixture earlier or later. It burns at around 2200C.

The longer heat stays inside cylinder the more is absorbed by the engine (pistons, cylinders, valves) so they are more heat stressed.
Its that simple :)

The more heat absorbed by the pistons and cylinders the less is left to be thrown out thru exhaust.

That's why you advance ignition and "magically" EGT goes down.
And when you retard ignition EGT "dangerously" goes up.

Bute there is the same amount of heat produced as long as the same amount of mixture is burned.
So what EGT sees is not relevant to heat inside engine.

Well given the same conditions like the same ignition, AFR, rpm and amount of air EGT is relevant to heat inside engine but when you change one condition like ignition angle you change EGT but actual amount of heat is the same.

For example, imagine we stop engine on the combustion cycle with mixture compressed inside and we ignite it.
It will burn and go out. What will happen with heat? All of it will stay inside cylinder. After a while engine block will absorb all of it - simply speaking we just heat up our engine a little.
Now imagine we have multiple burns one after another. and engine rotating. It will still heat up engine but this time some of it will also be ejected thru exhaust.
And now depending on how long mixture will stay burning inside (ignition angle) the more will go into heating engine block (pistons, cylinders) and less will be thrown out of the engine thru exhaust.

Another thing. If you cruise slowly on low rpm mixture still burns at 2200C (gasoline doesn't know your car goes much slower and have to burn with half of its normal temperature:) But your EGT will be like half of what is on full power. Why? Because flame stays a lot longer inside engine and more of it's heat is absorbed by the engine then is thrown away comparing to full power scenario. Of course thermal stress is also way lower because we burn much less amount of mixture.

I can't put it more simply :) I hope my english is not that bad either :)

"Absorb" is really not the correct word here. I'd use the word heat transfer and not engine, but rather individual engine parts.
Also, I strongly disagree about EGT not being important. Exceed a certain EGT and you will melt the head/piston, every time.
You can hold the engine in steady state with the same charge and mix, and simply retard the ignition until catastrophic failure occurs.
According to your logic this is impossible.

I don't understand your problem with the first law of thermodynamics.
The more kinetic energy is extracted out of the charge, the less waste thermal energy is left over, very simple.

Compression and decompression absolutely matters and what happens to the gas, at what time, and at what rate.
It is the difference between melting something and not, because materials have heat transfer coefficients, and the location in the chamber where heat transfer occurs and during what time plays a very important role.

If your exhaust is very hot, then you're constantly heating the area near the exhaust valves until it melts.
On other hand, if you have e.g. preignition/glow ignition, then you will melt the piston near the spark plug without hearing a peep.

Timing is everything (pun intended).

Yeah sorry for my english, heat transfer soundes better :)
But EGT probe in the exhaust measure temperature... in the exhaust :) Not in the cylinder :)
As i said you can have more heat inside cylinder and less outside and other way around :)

You can hold the engine in steady state with the same charge and mix, and simply retard the ignition until catastrophic failure occurs.
According to your logic this is impossible.
I was taught other way around :)
Retarding ignition cools cylinder.

Combustion heat balance looks more or less like this:
1. 30% - is lost with exhaust
2. 30% - is lost into cylinder (heats up engine parts)
3. 30% - is what actually heats up air producing pressure

Heat 1. is exhaust stress.
Heat 2. is engine internals stress (pistons, cylinders, valves)

The more you retard ignition the more heat goes into 1. and less into 2.
So you simply cools cylinder :) But at the same time you heat up exhaust parts :)
For example - launching ALS - you see massive EGT rise but you also cool down cylinders - but you do not see this because you do not have temp. sensor inside cylinder.

Fun fact - we had test engine in the lab with temperature and pressure sensors installed and they were very accurate and even more expensive :)
No one cared about EGT temperature in the lab :) What was important was temperature inside cylinder (and pressure).

But because we do not have NASA like equipment available for our cars so we put primitive cheap EGT probes inside exhaust that do not tell us much about what is going inside engine but that is all we have :)
It's like watching distant galaxies with telescope - we can't go there personally and measure anything directly so we just observe it from far away and make assumptions what is going on there :)

The more kinetic energy is extracted out of the charge, the less waste thermal energy is left over, very simple.
And again "kinetic" energy is related to speed when body with certain mass is moving.
There is no kinetic energy extraction from combustion :)
Burning mixture has no kinetic energy and does not do any work. It just heats up medium (itself).
As i said there are engines that have external heat source like Stirling engine.
Stirling engine has no intake or exhaust, medium is closed inside.
You heat it up externally by heating cylinder walls!
And it works like ICE engine - all that matters is pressure - how you get pressure is irrelevant.
And as for thermal waste i wrote about it above.

If your exhaust is very hot, then you're constantly heating the area near the exhaust valves until it melts.
On other hand, if you have e.g. preignition/glow ignition, then you will melt the piston near the spark plug without hearing a peep.
Preignition or detonation is another topic.
Mixture ignited normally (with spark plug) burns quite slow at constant rate - so that why you advance ignition with engine speed.
But when too much heat or pressure it can self detonate and it causes more heat and more pressure and more self ignition occurs.
Then pressure inside cylinder goes crazy (jumps violently all the way around) and combustion is disrupted.
For example if you put too "hot" plugs they do not transfer enough heat off the plug itself to the head so they get too hot and start working like glow plugs in diesels pre-igniting mixture.

btw. this discussion made me refresh some knowledge from studies that i started to forgot:)

So you simply cools cylinder :) But at the same time you heat up exhaust parts :)
Exhaust valves and exhaust ports are also "exhaust parts".
Retard ignition in steady state and you focus so much heat on this area that you melt it or drop a valve resulting in engine failure.

Exactly, we have to choose if we prefer to melt pistons or exhaust valves ;)
Fortunately we can cool cylinders dumping extra fuel inside.

Fun fact: lean mixture is cooler then rich mixture :)
But extra fuel evaporation have greater cooling effect then richer mixture raised heat.
It even do not have to be fuel. We can dump anything that will vaporize,like water - its like human skin producing sweat to vaporize to cool it down.
Engine can not produce sweat on its own so we must deliver it :)



Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: prj on January 13, 2024, 05:24:01 AM
Fun fact: lean mixture is cooler then rich mixture :)
This statement is incorrect on it's own.
Combustion temperature decreases in both directions of stoichiometric. The hottest burn is at stoichiometric ratio.
Rich mixture in case of liquid fuel has also the advantage of evaporative cooling...

Also in the real world you will almost never melt anything but the exhaust portion of the combustion chamber in case of normal combustion.
So minimizing EGT is a very good tuning strategy. The whole heat transfer to the large surface area of the piston and engine block is almost irrelevant for the end user in a well designed engine.
It is the hotspot near the exhaust valve with high EGT's that creates heat related failures.

And of course all kind of irregular combustion, such as detonation, preignition and so on.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: keichi on January 13, 2024, 06:13:42 AM
Yeah maybe i used wrong words. Lambda 1,0 is the hottest. Then towards leaner it get cooler and toward richer albo cooler.
But leaner gets cooler because combustion produces less heat.
And richer gets cooler because of evaporation (combustion alone is still hotter but yeah it is irrelevant).

As for melting things, you can easily melt piston also :)

I think we agree to the most parts, but maybe use other words to present our point of view :)

But as for EGT i still think that in most cases this measure is overrated or even misleading.
Specially when there is single EGT probe somewhere further in the exhaust.
Only case i see to be useful is having separate sensors on all cylinders.
Then at least you can catch a cylinder in which the combustion process differs from the rest that means some trouble.
But who does that? Most people put single EGT in some random place that shows weather :)
Or they want ALS so much because its so "cool" (pun intended ;) and they panic when EGT goes crazy above 1100C or more when they fire up ALS :)
Then they can't understand that it is heat "outside" engine :) And they want ALS that will be cooler but still "cool" ;)

And if i am already offtopic, one more regarding conflicting expectations.
I tuned client's car from stock 250HP to 360HP. Then he was surprised that his fuel economy went down a lot :)
He can't understand why did this happens :) He though that fuel economy will even improve after that power increase :)
I don't know from where people get this kind of assumptions but its similar to EGT readings and assumptions - less does not mean better :)

In well designed factory engine almost impossible to melt piston unless pushing well over double power output.
The only ways are abnormal combustion and also creating an extremely intense hotspot near the exhaust valve by having very late timing.

This is true. Especially if probe is after turbo, it says absolutely nothing. Only useful for protecting catalytic converter.

Most turbochargers are rated between 950C-1050C TIP continuous. Running 1100C+ EGT with ALS will destroy the turbo.
You will also probably damage the exhaust valves because depending on timing it is possible mixture is still burning when exhaust valve opens.
There is absolutely no need for such EGT though. You can have easily ~900C EGT with turbo producing meaningful boost.

I tuned client's car from stock 250HP to 360HP. Then he was surprised that his fuel economy went down a lot :)
Unless CR was dropped then fuel economy should not change except when actually using the extra power.

Quote
I don't know from where people get this kind of assumptions but its similar to EGT readings and assumptions - less does not mean better :)
In case of production engines in 99% cases less EGT = better.

Forgive me if this is a stupid question. I've been following this thread for years and I want to thank everyone for their effort. I've just discovered openmoose and I'm currently reading my bin file from my 2005 xc70.  I want to do some logging but where do I find or got to I create an XML parameter file?

05+ final update ( facelift and newer )
only seem to be US bins, how like QKHJ is US 2007 update for the pre facelift 04
he can try these, it is a US bin so he'd have to use an EU ESKONF and hopefully thats it just to test the BTS in the logs.
GPHJ lines up with it well, most of the addresses are close, i made a small pack for it.

enjoy

How do I tell what code my ecu file is?  I'm hoping my 05 xc70 is GSHJ.  I guess I can try this xdf with my bin file in tunerpro

That appears to be the case. Thank you for the response!

First thing I'm going to do is change my bin file for blue injectors.  Time to learn!

If anyone has any tips on what changes to make for a 16t I'd appreciate it.  That's what I'm going to work on after getting blue injectors working.

Here are a couple bin files I modified.  First one is modified for blue injectors.  Second one is for blue injectors and I've started doing work with the torque/load maps.  Any input is welcome.

My load tuning experiment was a little to aggressive lol.  I loaded it in my car and I'd hit 10psi at part throttle.  Trans shifted weird and I got engine performance reduced when using cruise control.  also calculated EGTs were 600-700 most of the time. 

Blue injector tune works great, however. 

I made another bin file with the blue injector mods and I'm going to start again, more carefully, learning how the load maps work.  I've already modified the Timing maps to more closely match the R maps and the car seems to run very good.

I have lots more reading to do

Hi.  I'm good. I already found them.  I'm enjoying it so far.  I've tried a number of different bin files I've made with various results.  Each one gets a little better and I learn more.  See how long my 350,000 mile engine and transmission lasts.

Post by: turbosundance on February 12, 2024, 02:13:18 PM
Could anyone offer suggestions on how to raise boost?  I've been messing around and tried a number of bins where I'm trying to achieve 1 bar boost but I seem to be stuck at stock boost levels.  I've managed to improve throttle response, lamda looks good with blue injectors. I don't seem to be having a lot of ignition retard.

I'm only seeing like 5 psi boost at wot.  Any suggestions?  Bin file attached.

I'm pretty sure my VVT isn't working properly and that might be contributing.  I need to re do my oil sump orings and possibly get new vvt solenoids.

I've been doing some datalogs and reviewing them manually but I'm still learning what everything means.

I do a datalog tomorrow with the current tune and post the log. 

On that topic, is there a program available to view the logs from openmoose in a more visual way?  Kind of like megalogviewer.  Most of my tuning experience is from megasquirt based stuff.

I am attaching the original file + some maps that I've found so far
The ecu seems something between older volvo/vag me7 and newer volvo/ford me9. I checked all available maps, damos for volvo/ford, but couldn't find something for my ecu :/
Or do you know from where I can buy damos for this ecu?

Why do you want these? No need to touch it with any injectors from stock up to 930cc and any fuel system (stock DECOS or modified with external FPR etc).
And they are not maps but single value variables.

My volvo is running rich on idle with bosch 980cc. Ecu cannot go lower than 0.68ms and I want to try to change temin/va. I know that they are single values, but cannot find them :/

Something is wrong with hardware (air leak?)
2.5 engine with BOSCH 980cc fully warmed up idle at 14,7AFR (lambda 1,0) with ti_b1 around 1,7-1,8ms (or around 0,65ms without deadtime).
And you can't go lower with those injectors because they are already at so low times that injection linearity is disrupted.

You can rise torque reserve (KFMRES maps) that will result in more retarded timing and more fuel requirement that should help those injectors keep lambda at idle.

TEMIN is for TE not TI. TI = TE + TVUB.
TVUB for 980cc is around 1ms at 14V.

If TEMIN is 0.68 they are running on the limit and it should be reduced. The minimum TI is 1.68ms in that case.

If idle is set a little higher then it will be rich. Or if TVUB is set a little higher.

He didn't say if his 0,68ms is TE or TI :) I assume TE :)
0,68ms TE should be perfectly fine for those injectors to keep 1,0lambda at idle.
Unless he messed up with TVUB or has some hardware issue :)

My tvub is 1.15 at 14v, so I will try to set it to 1.
I set 0,9 at 14V for 980cc
Raising idle to 820 or more is also good idea.

No, you clearly assumed that TEMIN is a limit for TI, because you gave TI as example, when in reality it limits TE.
Then you edited post afterwards.

If he says it's too rich, then clearly it is not an air leak on idle, that would make it lean if anything.
If his TEMIN is 0.68ms then it's simply too high for these injectors.

Also, raising idle decreases TE and TI even further!

So your "bla bla" about never needing to touch it is simply incorrect.
It should be reduced to 0.5 or 0.4 for these injectors.

TEMIN is @ 0x16558. Stock value 0.7008
TEMINVA is @ 0x1655A. Stock value 0.4

I usually set both to 0.3 with these injectors...

I just said what works for me.

Don't want to argue but you said previously that at 0,65ms TE those injectors are already below their healthy limit.
Now you suggest to lower it even more ;) but maybe i just didn't understand something :)

And on idle airleak of course would cause leaning (fuel trims would go up) - my mistake ;)

No, I never said that.
Also there is no "healthy limit" for the injectors. The TEMIN that manufacturer gives is the value below which they can be a little unpredictable.
I never had any problems with these injectors with 0.3 TEMIN value though.

Also, maybe there are different TEMIN values on different rom's but if your idle TI is at 1.7 and TEMIN is at 0.7 then at fast idle it will always be too rich (e.g. 3000 rpm).
Over here where they test sniffer emissions that is an instant emissions fail. The car is not road legal anymore.

Anyway I gave the OP the cal label locations, so problem solved.

Yeah, I set fkkvs to 1 at the beginning to see how it will handle.. but I'll definitely need to do some corrections with fkkvs. Its my first time changing injectors, so I am playing a little with the different maps to see how they will affect the afr on idle, cruising, WOT... Thanks!

All the info was in the first post, you not only did not understand anything, you also didn't read the followups, which solved everything.
I'm gonna call your ass out every time on your shit, if anyone deserves that on here it's you.

There was also nothing hard to gauge. He correctly identified the issue and was directly asking for the correct maps. This implies strong knowledge of how the ECU calculates injection AND ability to log and diagnose.
He's probably better at mapping the ECU than you are.

Instead he got a runaround of by one guy "oh, you don't need to change that" and then the straight up bad info by the other guy "oh, your krkte is probably wrong".
Wrong advice is worse than none. All he needed were the map addresses, he got everything else sorted.

It was me who told him not to touch TEMIN. I said this based on my experience with 980cc injectors.
Every single car i tuned with 980cc injectors kept perfect AFR at idle without touching stock TEMIN at all :)
Well looks like all those cars had broken O2 sensor ;)

EDIT: I checked few files. In one case i lowered TEMIN from 0.7 stock to 0.6 - perfect AFR with this.

Hi! I was trying to do stage 1 to my S60 2.0t 2002 20KSPC probably.
I used MPPS V18 (via generic>me7 1024kb) to read the file from the ECU (done on bootmode). Then I found some Damos to the 20KSPC files and with the help of the .a2l file and some searching I done "my stage 1". I edited only KFMDBGRG, LAMFA and LDRXN to increase boost. Then I checksumed the file via Winols (I always do it like this in EDC16) and write it by the same protocol via MPPS v18. When i plugged the ECU to the car, car is cranking but not running. Later the ECU was working corectly with the car. Could someone check the files if I made some mistakes in editing the file, the checksum is broken or the file is corrupted?
I attached ori file and the stage 1 file.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: arti0308 on March 11, 2024, 02:06:50 PM
Okey, the car started to work, I just rewrite the same file. But I know i saw a issue, the car is running better, I can feel this - but it's only making about 0,6bar of the boost. I want to go for about 0,8bar from stock 12 turbo, added more LDRXN but boost is the same. Is there something what is still limiting the boost in the map or something with my hardware is wrong?

I think this is hilarious. 20+ year old stuff, car worth like 3000 euro at most.
But OH THE SECRETS :D

Tuning these old engines - what is the point to spend money, and development when an Audi A6 3.0 TDI is faster?
5.9s 0-100 - you can take any old A6 C7 3.0 TDI with 180kW engine and with a remap they all go faster than that. They cost below 9000 EUR at this point, and there is absolutely 0 effort required.
The BTD with remap is around 4.5 seconds.

I don't really want to shit on your work or anything, but the ubiquity of the 3.0 TDI made tuning most smaller older engines pointless. I'd dare say it completely killed the point to build any 1.8T etc.
And if you build them far enough that they actually are faster than the TDI, then the turbo is so big that they are only useful on the autobahn...

The BTD with remap is around 4.5 seconds.

I don't really want to shit on your work or anything, but the ubiquity of the 3.0 TDI made tuning most smaller older engines pointless. I'd dare say it completely killed the point to build any 1.8T etc.
And if you build them far enough that they actually are faster than the TDI, then the turbo is so big that they are only useful on the autobahn...

Agreed, Everything on Volvo platform is big secrets, Its actually retarded. but they're big secrets due to lack of aftermarket support so if you figure it out, you make all the monies. People think they have something special when at the end of the day we all have the same old slow cars that dont impress anyone other than ourselves.

There is no money in the 20+ year old stuff. Such old cars always have tons of issues and more time is spent troubleshooting than tuning.
That's why I said it's funny that there is some "secret" on 20 year old things. It really doesn't matter. Even if you find something "unique" it is just irrelevant from a financial perspective at this point.
This is also the reason why I opensourced all the M2.3.2 stuff once it stopped being financially viable.

It's funny to hear these all from prj. Practically nobody can tune Aisin TCUs. And this man has their clients. Not only from Volvo because these transmissions were installed on many different cars. Alpha, French, Japanesse and etc.

About Volvo engines. Many 30+ mans like Volvo and don't like Audi. Prj suggests to changes their cars from Volvo to Audi 3.0TDI to go faster? Are you seriously? In such case you can just buy Tesla Plaid and forget about everything. I really regret that I bought my first Volvo 12 years ago. Was better stay on Russian cars. But what was done was done.

I was going to say I was able to glean some useful ME7 (and general Bosch) things in this thread, at least because they're concentrated in one thread. Whether Me7/Aisin Volvo tuning is market-relevant or not depends on the market. I don't see C7 tdis this cheap here in NA, I almost don't see them at all. I don't see why somebody wouldn't want to get more oomph out of, say, v70/v70r wagon. doesn't have to be a 10 second car, but more power and better shifting is always nice.

You completely missed the point.
It's not about VAG or Audi - any 3.0 diesel is faster. BMW, Mercedes or FAL group.

And in EU they are absolutely everywhere. So "secrets" are funny - tuning something that is slower than half the family cars on the road.
Does not matter if it's old 2.5 Volvo or old 1.8T VAG or something else.

If what you're building is slower than 4s 0-100, then IMO no point to build it at all the way things are here.
Might as well leave it on stock power or a light Stage 1.

Btw, if you could afford Tesla Plaid you would not be digging in this old shit. Though for the money I would buy a used 991 Turbo instead.
The Tesla feels like a cheap plastic box inside, at least to me.

I would love to find pointers on how to read and tune the Aisin in one of my Volvos. Is the VAG stuff related at all and can I find something there that I can use on my Volvo?

Let's all be nice to each other (or at the very least not hostile) and leave the whole value and secret stuff discussion off this topic. The whole market in aftermarket tuning is filled with people wanting to make money, some actually do. Very few of the ones making money respond here, most read and learn and keep their mouth shut. None of them here will tell here how much time and money they invested and how much money they made eventually, so the discussion in my opinion is pointless and takes away from the good stuff happening here.

Never touched an AISIN box in Volvo, so can't tell you.

There's always a few parts to it.
1. Reading and writing the flash
2. Being able to log your changes
3. Having a definition/knowing what to change in the file.

In my experience 3. is the most complex for stuff where there is little data.
I am not sure how similar the VAG structure is to Volvo.

If what you're building is slower than 4s 0-100, then IMO no point to build it at all the way things are here.

Have you ever drive any modern car that does 4s 0-100stock?
If you did you probably noticed that it reach this "magic" 100 so quick that it starts to become irrelevant to performance.
You just "jump" into 100 and THEN actual performance starts to matter.
And this is what old Volvos or any aold tuned car can also do very well and compete with the fastest and most modern cars!
Because what metters up to around 100 (or even less, like 60) is mostly drivetrain, not engine.
I was driving 300HP BMW M135ix and 420HP A45S AMG (2022+ production) and on paper one is doing around 4s other around 4,8s (or whatever) but in reality they reach this 100 practically the same. They both do this so well that 120HP gap just doesnt matter at so low speeds. All that matters is drive train. BUT after 100km/h real performance starts to bee visible. And 135i is just slow AF compared to A45S.

My point is that all those 0-100 wars had any meaning many years ago when 7s or 8s was considered fast and when you cut 1s it was really impressive.

Modern "races" are from 100 up-wards. 0-100 are more or less the same in modern faster cars from practical point of view.
Car technology reached grip limit already at lower speeds. There is nothing more to improve. But at higher speeds, engine power is as always most important factor.

So tuning older cars with "classic", not efficient drivetrain have still a lot of sense this day, you can "destroy" modern cars above 100 when what matters is pure engine power.

Grip limit on decent powertrain 0-100 is over 1000hp, not the things you say here. I don't have any issues with grip after 20-30km/h and I have just 650hp.
Maybe if you run dogshit tyres on tiny pizza cutter wheels it's a problem...

Anyway, does not matter.

Cooperation is much more important, because in the end it's a tiny enthusiast community with these old cars - there is no significant money to be made here.
Already 10 years ago when I was tuning these cars there was super low demand for it, because usually the people who buy a Volvo are those that don't care about any tuning. And here are a lot of Volvos on the streets.

Your P1 C30 is probably ME9?
In that case my logger supports it and there's a Ford ME9 damos floating around that you can use as a base for locating the maps, it's extremely similar.
The control logic does not differ much from ME7.

For the money you spent tuning you can buy a new engine for the V6 if you wanted to, besides the camshaft tensioners on the Volvos aren't exactly cheap or maintenance free. Also, if you don't like the V6, BMW has an inline 6...
My point is simply - spending a long time and having some "secrets" on a platform that came out over 25 years ago today is a complete waste of time. Especially when half the family cars on the road are faster than your tuned car with your uber secrets.

Pretending that 25 year old platform is somehow worth keeping any secrets on is completely insane.

Works very well. One interesting conclusion - it doesn't have to be exactly double of stock pressure limit.
It can be done with any scale, like 1,5times stock pressure or whatever.
Doubling pressure scale results in double loss of precision but no issues because of that so far :)

Я планировал выпустить возможность прошивки АКПП в свободный доступ, но друг разубедил меня. У него был подобный опыт. Это привело к тому, что множество людей начали править прошивки двигателей Митсубиси и убили веру людей в то, что есть нормальные тюнеры. В итоге, поток клиентов упал и новые разработки были заморожены. Рынок прошивок АКПП очень маленький. Хотя, он перешил уже несколько десятков Вольво и Пежо с коробками AW55, TF70 и TF80 в России. И несколько машин с коробками Aisin из других стран.

Что бы Дмитрий (prj) тут не писал, но сам он открывает только то, что уже не имеет коммерческой ценности. Прошивки АКПП имеют коммерческую ценность. Например, позволяют не сжигать АКПП на бустапе на тех же французских и японских машинах на TF70. А они с этими АКПП выпускаются и сейчас.

There are few 1013 constants and 1013 divisions and in DECOS cars (R models and face-lift) there is also additional dppk_w calculation.
All of them can be freely scaled. Just arithmetic vars that can be change to whatever you want.

Tricky part is just boost sensor scaling DLSGRAD/OFS. ECU is not doing simple Y=GRAD*X+OFS when calculating boost from voltage.
If you leave stock boost senor (in case of 2bar Rmodels that may be the case) you can get on with this by just multiplying stock GRAD/OFS.
But when you change sensor you have to figure out how ECU calculate boost from sensor voltage (additional multipliers and/or additions) to come up with proper GRAD/OFS.
And its different in prelift and postlift models also.
If you don't do it you will be off with boost like 0,1bar or something - no big deal but if you want ECU to see true boost and if you want to have true boost in logs then its tricky :)

No need to touch them. All those fxxx are just multipliers (unit less scalers) and you just need to trace from where they come from and if its related to pressure just scale there.

For example: fpvdk = fkmsdk x fpvdkds
fkmsdk - not pressure related, ignore
fpvdkds - pressure related = (udsl * DSLGRAD + DSLOFS) / 1013 - just scale 1013 division here.

1013 division in ASM look like this:
Code:
mov     r4, pvdkdsl_w
mov     r2, #647        ; 1013 division
mulu    r4, r2
mov     r5, MDH
mov     r4, MDL
mov     r2, r5
shr     r4, #10
shr     r5, #10
shl     r2, #6
or      r4, r2
When you analyze this code (just throw it into Keil and debug line by line and look at whats going on in registers) you will notice that you can just scale #647 variable - x2 for 5120 hack or any other scale you want.

EDIT: And this part: udsl * DSLGRAD + DSLOFS its not computed exactly that.
In reality ECU does something like (udsl * DSLGRAD + DSLOFS *2) in postlift models. In pre facelift its even more complicated.
So when you come up with DSLGRAD/OFF doing simple linear function using sensor datasheet (P(U) for two points) you can leave DSLGRAD but need to divide DSLOFS by 2 - thats the trick here :)
And in pre-lift models there is different "trick" :)

Just trace  fpvdkds_w where it comes from. You have it not scaled at the beginning but try to "fix" things in the middle of the code flow.

А вот и причина, почему я его не умножил ранее:
Code:
ROM:000D58C2                 mov     r7, pvdkdsl_w
ROM:000D58C6                 mov     r4, #0A1BCh

ROM:000D58DC                 cmp     r9, #0
ROM:000D58DE                 jmpr    cc_NZ, loc_D58E4
ROM:000D58E0                 cmp     r8, #0FFFFh
ROM:000D58E4
ROM:000D58E4 loc_D58E4:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840+9E↑j
ROM:000D58E4                 jmpr    cc_ULE, loc_D58EC
ROM:000D58E6                 mov     r4, #0FFFFh
ROM:000D58EA                 jmpr    cc_UC, loc_D58EE
ROM:000D58EC ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM:000D58EC
ROM:000D58EC loc_D58EC:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840:loc_D58E4↑j
ROM:000D58EC                 mov     r4, r8
ROM:000D58EE
ROM:000D58EE loc_D58EE:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840+AA↑j
ROM:000D58EE                 mov     fpvdkds_w, r4

Тут идет умножение на 41404. Поскольку числа там 2 байта, то максимум можно умножить на 65536. Либо добавлять инструкции для умножения fpvdkds_w на 2.

В общем версия 50WRHJ сложнее, чем более ранние для хака. Поэтому, пришлось потратить много времени на реализацию. Но все в прошлом, сейчас стабильно, уже на двух своих машинах, езжу на ней.


Title: Re: The Volvo ME7 thread:
Post by: keichi on April 11, 2024, 04:14:21 AM
I didn't spent much time in 50WRHJ but i i just noticed some crazy things :)
Looks like it is very similar to newer MED17 codebase.

But what is most interesting, looks like your pdsl_w (actually its called pvdr_w) is already with 5120 hack from factory :)
That way your pvdkdsl_w (called pvd_w)=pvdr_w is also scaled up to 5120 from factory and that means no need to touch 0A1BCh constant.
So look like for 5120hack you just don't need to scale DLSGRAD/OFS at all :)

Maybe thats why you must "fix" fpvdkds_w later on in the code because of unnecessary scaling of DSLGRAD/OFS and/or 0A1BCh const.
Look like Volvo did some very interesting things on those latest software and 5120 mod should be done different way than all earlier sw. versions.

EDIT:
I just checked what pvd_w and pvdkds_w are at atmospheric pressure:
pvd_w = 12765 (x 0.078125 - 5120 factor) = 997mbar
pvdkds_w = 25530 = 12765 x 2 (x 0.0390625 - stock factor) = 997mbar

So pvd_w it scaled at 5120mbar from factory.
Then some variables like fpvdkds_w also use 5120 scale and other "normal" 2560 scale like pvdkds_w.
So more digging is needed probably to figure out  what exactly is scaled at 5120 and what at 2560 :)

Here is where 5120 is scaled down to 2560 for pvdkds_w:
Code:
ROM:000D589C F2 F8 66 F4                 mov     r8, pvd_w
ROM:000D58A0 E0 09                       mov     r9, #0
ROM:000D58A2 00 88                       add     r8, r8
ROM:000D58A4 10 99                       addc    r9, r9
ROM:000D58A6 48 90                       cmp     r9, #0
ROM:000D58A8 3D 02                       jmpr    cc_NZ, loc_D58AE
ROM:000D58AA 46 F8 FF FF                 cmp     r8, #0FFFFh
ROM:000D58AE
ROM:000D58AE             loc_D58AE:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840+68↑j
ROM:000D58AE FD 03                       jmpr    cc_ULE, loc_D58B6
ROM:000D58B0 E6 F4 FF FF                 mov     r4, #0FFFFh
ROM:000D58B4 0D 01                       jmpr    cc_UC, loc_D58B8
ROM:000D58B6             ; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM:000D58B6
ROM:000D58B6             loc_D58B6:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840:loc_D58AE↑j
ROM:000D58B6 F0 48                       mov     r4, r8
ROM:000D58B8
ROM:000D58B8             loc_D58B8:                              ; CODE XREF: sub_D5840+74↑j
ROM:000D58B8 F6 F4 64 F4                 mov     pvdkds_w, r4

Line 000D58A2 - here is pressure multiplied by 2 (by adding to itself - those compilers sometimes do things in weird way from human pov but we have to belive its more efficient this way :)

So Volvo did 5120 hack (in some part at least) before even it was trendy ;)

QHHJ ( EU 04 M66)
QKHJ ( US 04 M66 )
GPHJ 05+ m66
Wra72 variant of wrhj for the 06+ TF80 cars
wra70 wrhj prometey shared before but don't have logging parameters for and it's a eastern Europe variant I'll never touch

Don't need that many variants tbh

На самом деле, евро варианты как раз намного лучше. Нет этой вашей пиндосской экологической ерунды с подсчетом давления паров в баке. Вырезаю эту чушь, когда у людей случаются проблемы, которые они победить не могут.

Я планировал выпустить возможность прошивки АКПП в свободный доступ, но друг разубедил меня. У него был подобный опыт. Это привело к тому, что множество людей начали править прошивки двигателей Митсубиси и убили веру людей в то, что есть нормальные тюнеры. В итоге, поток клиентов упал и новые разработки были заморожены. Рынок прошивок АКПП очень маленький. Хотя, он перешил уже несколько десятков Вольво и Пежо с коробками AW55, TF70 и TF80 в России. И несколько машин с коробками Aisin из других стран.


I mean, that sounds *somewhat* reasonable but also.. is there any development on these auto gear boxes anyways? You can't kill development that isn't happening. I know that a few in the me9 world have torque delete but what about older models?    I haven't seen anything verifiable in terms of tuning an aw55-50sn to decrease shift time or other options.

yea the stupid Leak detection pump.
i coded mine out with ESKONF.
my LDP itself is bad and i really dont care lol

Нет никаких проблем со скоростью переключения АКПП. Ускорение во время переключения почти не падает. А вот что действительно требуется, это поднять обороты переключений, когда речь идет о больших по размеру турбинах. Вот здесь можно почитать о доработках https://clubvolvo.ru/threads/ogranichitel-momenta-na-tf80-sc.126689/

И там все начиналось как раз с ограничителя момента. Но теперь ушло сильно дальше.

I was unfortunately met with several untimely issues that I had to stop my reverse engineering process of AW55. From the death of my original ECM due to a short, to exploded heater core matrix to various other life events. It took me a while to find a replacement ECM, write Arduino sketches to dump EEPROM and write back, modify my custom software stack to write to the SH7055 ROM and ensure everything works.

All in all it took me 20-30 ROM write-erase cycles to get it correctly whilst looking at VIDA sources to see how A8 command works for SBL data. Rollercoaster of events.

It is only now that I managed to get my car in full working order as well as a working VVT. After driving 2 months with a shorted ECM and no VVT, I feel like I am in a 400hp car.

But my research on AW55 from several months ago was done on a older 2.4t from 2002 or something whereas I then dumped my own TCM and started doing everything from scratch then of course I was bombarded with multiple issues that took time to sort out :(.

My first change would be increase shift point to 6900rpm or 6800 at least.

Прошивки АКПП имеют коммерческую ценность.

На болотах много всего имеет коммерческую ценность о чём тут давно всем похуй. На французах и вольво тут ездят только те для кого машина способ передвижения из пункта А в пункт B и ничего больше.

Ты начинаешь напоминать Макси. У того, тоже, очень зашоренный взгляд на мир. А уж сравнивать автопарк и мажоров Праги со всем остальным миром, тут никакая сова не выдержит натяжки на глобус такого размера. А уж по поводу болота, ну, блин, я бы посоветовал тебе сидеть и не квакать, но поскольку я воспитанный, то ничего такого предлагать не буду).

А кто говорил про Прагу?
Во всей Европе кроме Франции практически никто не занимается тюнингом Французов.
На каждого француза в тюнинге приходится 100 или больше BMW/VAG/MB.

Всем пофиг, на них ездят пока разваливаться не начинает и потом на свалку, и новую.
Ни о каком тюнинге никто не думает. Сделал много тысяч немецких машин и где-то пару сотен всего французов, да и то это в основном сажа и егр на дизелях. Пара рено попадалось побыстрее и всё.
А у нас их тут полно на улице, просто никто не покупает француза чтобы на нём делать тюнинг.

Коммерческий интерес может быть только на болотах (кстати не обижайся, тут все русские это так называют). Да и то я подозреваю что по факту этот интерес только у кого-то в голове.
Сделал десятку машин и думает что ой как много денег...

Ладно, не важно, я с 2020 года тюнингом не занимаюсь - сижу и смотрю на срач. Просто смешно стало читать про секретные коробки 25 летней давности на которые всему цивилизованному миру давно пофиг.
Единственное кому это бы помогло - паре человек на этом форуме.

There is nothing really of interest there.
Maybe some info about D2 protocol, as it is not too well documented.
But other than that it's mostly how to open VIDA databases and very very basic ECU topology stuff.

If you have 0 experience, by all means, read it, but I think like 90% of it was just analysis of how VIDA works.
