At first, the Trinity gave me "unable to write to TCM" error. This was apparently because the Trinity version was v.1r08i. Lew advised to update it to v.1r08k. I performed the update and reinstalled the 91 Octane, automatic with "Firm Shift" options. The Trinity wrote to the vehicle PCM and TCM. I took the car out for a short test spin but didn't notice any change in shifting gears from before and the Version still reads "v1r08i".
Because the version did not change and I did not notice any shifting changes, I went ahead and restored my backup file and connected the Trinity to my PC and ran the DSDownloader and "Update Tool" just to be sure - thinking it really did not update to v.1r08k. It opened a window looking for a .crom file on my hard drive. So, I thought it actually did update to v.1r08k since the Trinity did not perform the automatic update. Then I did a reinstall of the 91 Octane, automatic with "Firm Shift" options was fine and I can see the PCM and TCM details in the "OPTIONS" last tune screen.
I always use the paddle shifter so I don't know if this has anything to do with not feeling a shifting change
So, I have a few questions:
1- Shouldn't the version have changed to v1r08i in the Trinity information screen? or am I still actually running v1r08i even though it wrote to the PCM and TCM?
2- Are the changes to the PCM and TCM effective at next startup or is there a "learning" period?
3- When should I be able to run the log files needed to send to Lew for the custom tune? Would the log files represent changes now or do I need to run a some miles?
Sorry for the "book" but I wanted to make sure I covered everything.
