Introduction What is EFILive? EFILive is tuning software and hardware - it is not a tune. Together the software and hardware give users the tools to write tunes. EFILive does not provide tune files, tuning advice or support, but do provide software support and hardware support.
This version of the Duramax LBZ & LMM DSP User Guide migrates all processes to EFILive V8 Scan and Tune software. Functionality is still available in V7.5 software, however software support and bug fixes will cease in 2021. FlashScan/AutoCal V3 and AutoCal V2 are not compatible with V7 software. V7 functions are only supported by FlashScan V2.
2015; released 9 years after this ECM type was introduced. EFILive will not be offering DSP on older, obscure or obsolete OS's. No further EFILive development is scheduled for Duramax platforms. Supported Operating Systems E35A (LBZ) E35B (LMM)
7. Save the file with a new name using, File > Save As. As an example; 'My Truck Base DSP5 Conversion.ctz’. 8. Close the tune file. 9.

Confirm that the operating system number on the base file is different to the upgraded DSP converted file.
GM.E35DSP5V_DMA (PC) or E35DSP5V_M (BBL): This will show the measured voltage at the ECM pin when using DSP , useful for setting up the DSP switching voltages, otherwise just use the previous PID to monitor the DSP program switching. - 9 - support@efilive.com www.efilive.com...
Also shown is the approx. voltage the ECM will measure for each resistance. The switching voltages are configurable within EFILive, however, the values below give a good even separation of switch points. The 0.1uF capacitor shown in red is optional, it is used to reduce switch bounce.
