PATCH: CEL Flash on Loaded Knock
Hi All,
Since I am at a stage where I am relatively happy with this mod I thought I would post up what I have done thus far and get an idea of what other ROM ID's people would like patched. I will get around to porting my other mods down the track!
What is it?:
Basically this patch will flash the CEL lamp when a certain knock and load thresholds are met.
ie if you configure your load threshold to 150 and your knock threshold to 4 then the CEL lamp will flash rapidly when these two conditions are met.
How do I get it?:
At this time I am only offering pre-patched ROM's, due to the complex nature of patching ROM's I would prefer people don't try and attempt this on their own, below are links to ROM ID's that have already been patched - if yours isn't there then let me know and I will add to the requested section.
Just download your pre-patched ROM below and copy the addition XML into your definition file. You should then see the new options in ecuflash, they should be fairly obvious
but ask away!
PRE-PATCHED ROMS:

Please report the success (or not -- eeck) so I can change the above status's.
CAVEATS/BUGS:
ENDIAN BS with ECUFLASH:
If you are using 1.31+ ensure the endian in the xml is "big"
If you are still using an older version (ie 1.29, 1.30) ensure the endian in the xml is "little"
If you get weird numbers for the flash time (ie not 3431ms) then you have an endian problem
I have made every effort to try and secure STOCK ROM's, however chances are that some may NOT be stock - if you find this is the case please let me know ASAP
FAQ:
What are all these new configuration knobs in EcuFlash?
Flash CEL on Knock?: This is a global enable/disable flag, set to non-zero to enable the flashing routines.
KnockSum Required for CEL and Min Load for CEL on Knock: This is the minimum KnockSum and minimum Load will trigger the flashing CEL.
CEL on Knock flash time: This is the amount of time the CEL lamp will flash for after going over the above thresholds.
Will this work if my CEL/SES/MIL lamp is already on?
Yes
DISCLAIMER:
If you don't understand ANY of this DON'T FLASH, please ask questions in this thread! Also if you get ANY WEIRD/UNEXPECTED results then flash back to stock! If your car explodes don't blame me
REQUESTS:
96420007 - supplied
93660005 - supplied

88590013 (IX type 13) works great. I havent had any issues since I got the knock counter configured. What I found with the intial CEL flash is that it lasts 1:30 in the IX rom or so, OR if you complete a drive cycle, turn off the car and restart.

hey JB how you been ? get a chance to check out those logs and graphs yet ? i broke my crank position sensor apparently so i had to replace that, but the car is running again. I've just got to figure out why i only build 4 psi on my 2 step. I think its the wastegate, but who knows.... I'm interested in setting this up with my car as well, so i guess ill start following this thread.
