Issues with TephraMods

I posted in the 5.1 thread but didn't get any help. Hoping someone has experienced this or has an answer for me. Hopefully I am doing something stupid wrong but I have tried a bunch of different methods and nothing has worked.

I have used the TephraMOD in the past on my ECU successfully but for some reason now, I can't get some of the features to work on my car. I have tried the original NLTS+Valet+Knock Light Patch, 5.10, and V6, and none of them work correctly. After manually patching over the XMLs at first, I am now using "fostyou's" prepatched V5.10 rom. I installed both the ECUFlash and EvoScan components, and when I open up ECUFlash all the tables for the mods show up. I made all the parameters correct and flashed it onto the ECU with no problems reported. However the NLTS, knock light, and Valet features do not function correctly. 2 byte load however, does. I am not sure what to do as I have tried everything I could think of, reinstalling and uninstalling, test writing, using fresh maps, and nothing can get all the features to work despite some functioning and me seeing no problems in ECUFlash.

Thanks

Here is a screenshot of ECUFlash. As you can see, there appear to be no issues with the xml/rom. All changes to AFR or Timing correctly transfer over but for some reason the ECU will not reflect CERTAIN changes in the mod section.

weird. Can you verify that the clutch switch works? What other settings do you have set in place for the NLTS and knockCEL?

Basically wondering if you are for sure logging the car, seeing knock in excess of the settings you set in the rom, and not seeing knock CEL. Also, are you for sure exceeding the minimum speed for NLTS?

Does your check engine light for sure (i.e. bulb not burnt out is it?)

How can I verify the clutch switch works? The car won't start without it depressed.

As far as settings go:

NLTS I have

TPS: 98%
Speed: 30 km/h
Load: 100%

Valet Rev Limit
3000 RPM
5000 ms to activate and flash

Knocksum

1 count for slow
4 counts for fast
10% load and flash for 3000 ms

Same settings as I've always used and the CEL bulb works fine

I am logging the car and I rarely have knock, random 1 counts, almost never see 2. But the valet mode and NLTS do not work. I always used the Valet mode as a quick test after I flashed the ROM to ensure the modding went correctly. This is the first time I've had this issue. Like I said the 2 byte load transfered over which means the XML is good (it's a prepatched ROM anyways)

There are 2 clutch switches. The lower is the neutral safety switch. The upper (I don't know it's proper name) is the switch used for the NTLS.

Shouldn't Valet and KnockCEL be working anyways regardless of the clutch switch?

I've tried many different times using every method for implementing this mod onto the ROM and nothing (recently) has worked. A strange issue indeed looks like I am the only one to have it so far.
