TunerPro Mode 10 – Clear Malfunction Error Codes

[EagleMark]

Here's one I've been looking at for awhile and had no idea what it did? Most ads and adx files have a Mode 10 in the commands and I just thought it was there to make it work? I had know idea what the commands did nor did I care? The program works great for all my data logging, and tuning bin files.

So anyway we had a long thread on how do you really make an ads file? ads is what TunerPro used before version 5 and it is what the original ALDL.ds file is converted to. ALDL.ds files are available from vehicle manufactures so scan tools can be made to work. Well TunerPro is also a scan tool!

Then in TunerPro V5 it uses a more user friendly adx file that for the most part can be edited in notepad. TunerPro V5 also has an Import function for ads file that instantly converts it to and adx and prompts you to save it as an adx, then stays open in TunerPro ready to use.

So how do you use TunerPro Mode 10 – Clear Malfunction Error Codes to clear your error codes? I'll show you here. Usually this is done before a data log, after a repair to fix an error code or after data logging so your already hooked up to car... open TunerPro and click on Acquisition, then Edit Definition and this box will pop up!


Then click on the Commands button to show all commands. Most basic adx files will show a Mode 10 Macro last. I noticed in the $OD $OE etc V250 files 93V8S10 made they say Clear Trouble Codes Macro. I named mine here Clear Codes Data. Doesn't matter what it is named as long as it's the Mode 10 Macro.


Click on the arrow on monitor box and choose your Clear Code/Mode 10 Macro and choose it.


Then your ready to clear codes if it's the right command in this box. Not much you can screw up if you picked the wrong one so don't worry...


Now your ready! Well if you were already hooked up to your car recording data... do this at the end if you have a code you set or fixed or... So your hooked up with cable from laptop to car. Disconnected when you set this all up, Clear Codes Mode 10 Macro in Monitor box, Key on, I did mine with engine running because that is how my Scan tool will do it. So Key on, engine running is an option. Click Connect! It only takes a second or so. Then disconnect.


Go back and set your Monitor box to whatever it uses to monitor engine data. Mine says Engine Data but most are Mode 1 Message 0 Macro. Also most ECM have none in connection but the LT1 adx I am using here for reference needs a connection macro.


Connect to engine data and check your codes, they are gone!

With that method you must edit the definition each time you switch back and forth from monitoring data.
TP now has the ability to send this command from a selection box at the top of the window.

To do this from a "Send Command" box you must first edit the "Send" command and ensure the "Manually Sendable" box is checked.
Then edit the "Macro" to also check the "Manually Sendable" box.
Put a check mark in the "Break on Success" and Fail boxes.
Otherwise TP will stop communicating because the command never ends.
I am going to verify this works again once I put my motor back in (long story there!)

it took a minute to sink in

" what send command box at the top of the window."
oh its not in the adx editor. its in the main task bar of tunerpro, .if you dont see it ,close the adx editor an click on view then click toolbars an check data acquisition send command then you will see it on the task bar.

now open adx editor. click on commands, then click on mode 10 (clear malf codes) macro an check the manually sendable while monitoring box. then click save.

[supercoop]

after saving the adx nothing happened..why you would think something would show up in the drop down menu next to the send button on the task bar. oh, we are not monitoring .
if you want to see it when your not monitoring you have to check the while not monitoring box.
