When you modify a stock map, save it under different name then load that map into software (v 4.77), go to program ECM, the origanal map name not the modified map name keeps showing up in cal id ready to be downloaded to ECM. Shouldn't the modified map name show up so you can know what file is in your ECM. How do I know what file is in the ECM when it keeps showin up with original stock map number? It will show up with any different stock map number I want to download but not any modified map name or number I want to download.

Would really like to know how you keep track of what modified map is in there.

The ECM doesn't really know what 'map' is in it. You can't hook up to the ECM and pull a map out, so you'll have to keep track of what you load. It's a one way street. Once it goes in, it never comes out.

Thanks Chief,

Just want to know that the modified map name is the one being loaded in. You would think the map you renamed would show up in cal id not the stock cd map number you modified.
Sure will get confusing when you make changes for tuning, one at a time of course, since you have to rename the map everytime changes are made. Didn't expect to keep another log for what map is in there.

Mark,

Let me state that I have only looked at the SERT software but have never tuned with it. I use the Power Commander, so I'm not sure exactly how it handles file names. In my mind, I'd want to make changes and save the file to disk and then load that map to the ECM. Maybe that would change the name to the new file instead of the original name. I'm not sure. I do know that there is no retrieval FROM the ECM to see what's in there.

There are several on the site that tune with the SERT and would be a better reference on specifically how the software operates.

Chief,

This is my first time with sert and I've read the manual numerous times before starting any changes. All the manual says is to make changes to map then save the changed map (rename) which saves it to disk first. I then choose that saved renamed map as the one I want to download but the cal id for file to be downloaded still says the stock cd number map that I changed.

I' ll wait and see if any sert aficionado pipes in on this.

Thanks again Chief,

Mark

Just was informed I have to edit the part number (last 3 digits of original map number) and assign that number to the modified map file I saved for it to show in Cal ID on the Ecm.

See what asking a simple question gets you.

It's those sneaky little details that make life interesting. Thanks for filling in the rest of the story. Now I'll know how to do it.

Not sure I understand this with renaming.

Since a major obstacle with the SERT is you do not know what is loaded, what I have done in the past is make a very obvious change before downloading.

for this I'll set the rev limiter to a a low number, say 5K. Load the map, go for a ride, if it cuts out a 5K I know my most current map is in the ECM. Reset the the rev limit, go for a ride, confirm th enew limit, good to go.

I have not renamed any files, other then naming then something that makes sense, like "2005 SEEG 03-18-07.***"

If you make changes to the base map and save it without renaming it you have just lost your base map configuration. When you rename the modified map you can name it anything you want. For it to show up in the Cal ID you have to edit the part number which is the last three digits of the base map number you just changed (e.g. base map number 176PQ006-000, you assign this modified map a part number 176PQ006-001 or 002, 003 etc...last three digits are all you can change). Now this number will come up in the Cal ID 176PQ006-001 instead of the base map part number 176PQ006-000. Only limit is 999. Now you know what map you have in there.


All I am goin to do is include the 3 digits of part number I assigned into my saved file name. This should simplify things for identification.

Maybe you have a different version of the SERT then me. That is no the case with mine

...last three digits are all you can change

I have a variety of different files names, some that we have passed back & forth here on the site.

Now you know what map you have in there.

Unless you have a different SERT you can't read the map that is loaded in the ECM.

This is the file name for the map I currently have loaded.

2005_SEEG_08-20-07.MT5

What version of the SERT are you using?

I am using 4.1.2

[springerdude]

Software v4.77 Sert part #32114-01A. You cant read  any map files from ECM it is only one way, download to it. If you look at the Cal ID when you get ECM info that is the base map # that is in there. The only number that can show in the ECM Cal ID is the base map number you started with, and the 3 digits you add when you go edit part number, and assign it to your saved modified map. Now instead of base map number only showing up, you have the base map #and the 3 digits you assigned. Your version is older so I can't say if yours works this way.
