Ford EEC-V Tuner Site

[DWS]

Been a bit since I've done the pats flag hunt, but more added to the site. Learnt a fair bit more about the whole pats system recently too =).

Another batch added to the site. Pretty much just have 7.3L powerstroke diesels left which I suspect has very different code from the rest of the gas engine strategies.

Also worked out some strategies appear to be hard coded to not have the actual pats code even in the bin so these ones aren't even possible to enable pats if you wanted to (with out major code rework).

Went through some logs and found a couple strategies that didn't get added to the scanner, it auto detected so added them to the site =).

Another update, probably long over due, but VIN editing is now possible through the site. It validates length and check digit, but doesn't currently enforce characters (aka if O's are typed instead of zero's it just saves the wrong character). Probably something I'll have to add later.

I also notice at address 0x9FF95 there's a * if a VIN is set and if not it's FF in the hand full of files I checked. Not sure if that matters at all or not though. Currently that address is untouched.

Anyway, this is in the free section of the site, so anyone can edit the VIN with an account, should be pretty useful I'd think =).

Of course if there's any issues at all around this, let me know and I'm sure we can work out what's going on.

Just ran into a user with a Rossion Q1 computer which is ultimately a EEC-V computer from Ford. Since it's non-standard for how Ford did things, it took a couple work around to make the site happy about loading the file, but they are not natively supported on the website.

One small side effect is they fill the VID block with w's, the VIN detects as all w's and if you save changes on the bin info category, it will change the VIN to be FF'ed out for no VIN in the Ford standard way. This shouldn't effect anything and I might add some code to work around it in the future, but for now that's how it works. Ultimately it uses the DOAV7 Ford strategy, so it's linked under that unlock.

I never knew companies outside of Ford used Ford computers in this style of way. Rossion basically filled the VID block with w's on this one, if there's any other computers that do something similar, let me know and I'll see about adding a better detection system. Down the road I have some idea's to detect strategies that aren't labeled in the file, but trying to keep things simple for now lol.

Anyway, I don't know the exact years, but Rossion Q1 computers are now covered. I suspect they have the EEC-V on their label and the 104 pin connector, but going to validate that info with the user that submitted the info.

EDIT:

Got a pic to confirm it's physically an EEC-V computer, but there's no labeling at all on the computer and it appears it was built after the orig DOAV7 computers based on the chip labeling, so they might have bought replacement Ford computers, removed the sticker, then re-flashed them with the tune.

I've ran into a couple people that ultimately are pulling the Flash chip off the board of an EEC-V and dumping the full contents. The first 256kb is the same as the typical read in the tuner pro style format, the rest has some interesting info in it that I haven't dug into too deeply but I suspect it has the boot loader and such.

Since I've ran into a couple that have done things this way, is there anyone else that has? Is there much known about what's contained in the rest of the Flash memory? Anything that would be nice to have access to change?

Ultimately I'm thinking about supporting it as an option for a file input format. I'll have to rework the site's design a bit to make it work though. If/when it's added of course it will auto detect like normal and default to saving the same format. Switching to another format would be cutting off the excess data and discarding it so I'll probably have to add a warning/popup about that since once it's converted to another format, you wouldn't be able to switch back with out uploading the source file again.

Anyway, any info or feedback on this is always welcomed. I thought I had all of the formats covered, but seems like this might be the last somewhat common format I need to add. I do want to learn more about the boot loader and such, so I'll probably be poking at the bins I received recently to see what I can discover.

I got some "dead" computers in and read them all and ended up with one new strategy and it was a nice easy one, auto detected from an existing mask =).
