Introduction

This document is intended to assist new EFILive customers with the basic operations and steps necessary to work with 2010-2017 6.7L Cummins supported vehicles. For customers already familiar with existing vehicle support most of the document contents will be familiar to you already.

CM2200 & CM2350B ECM Overview

Due to the CM2200 and CM2350B ECM's restrictive architecture, Cummins 2010-2017 support does not adhere to the typical "EFILive process" for tuning supported vehicles. EFILive generally requires customers to first read and save their ECM's tune, then edit the calibrations before finally flashing the modified tune back into the vehicle. However it is not possible to read these ECM’s via the OBD-II Port, (the ECM can only be read by opening the ECM and soldering to the CPU debug port using expensive 3rd party tools).

Customers will need to obtain a suitable base file for editing and flashing purposes, a selection of EFILive compatible base stock files are readily available on the internet or custom files may be purchased through organizations that have the necessary hardware and software to create personalized base files.

There are two ECM types; EFILive refers to these as CMD and CME.

CMD refers to the CM2200 ECM and is used in 2010-2012 model year vehicles.

CME refers to the CM2350B ECM and commenced with the 2013 model year.

Because you cannot read the existing tune in the ECM it is important you select the correct base tune to suit your vehicle.

RSA Digital Signature

In early 2009 Cummins ECM's were manufactured with higher levels of security consisting of an RSA Digital Signature on the calibrations. All vehicles with a 2010 or later model year contain ECM’s that have been updated with this additional security and all service replacement ECM's are manufactured this way.

The RSA Digital Signature does not prevent the flashing of stock tunes, it ONLY prevents the flashing of modified tunes, so to flash a modified tune, the Digital Signature must first be switched off.

EFILive has developed a method to turn off the OBD-II Digital Signature validation for 2010-2012 CM2200 ECM’s that MUST be implemented to allow modified tunes to be programmed in to late model 6.7L ECM's. Please refer to the Cummins BootRSA Patch User Guide.

The 2013+ CM2350B ECM Digital Signature cannot be bypassed by OBD-II flashing, and requires secondary processes and equipment to remove the Digital Signature. The easiest method to remove the Digital Signature so you can flash modified tunes is to install a BullyDog GT tuner with a 2013+ unlock cable. This equipment connects to the OEM 3 Plug Connector under the hood of the vehicle.

Software

Overview

EFILive presently has two major software versions (V7 and V8) that implement different parts of the tuning and scanning process. The V8 software is undergoing significant development and will eventually supersede V7 entirely for FlashScan V2 customers.

Cummins customers must install both versions, the following table displays Cummins 2010-2017 software functionality.

Feature V7 V8

Scanning

OBDII Diagnostics

Reading

Flashing

Tune Editing

Firmware Management

Requirements

The most recent Cummins software enhancements are available in the following product versions:

EFILive V8.2.2.306 or later.

FlashScan V2 / AutoCal Firmware - V2.07.105 or later.

The latest software is available for download from the EFILive website here: http://www.efilive.com/latest/cat/download-efilive

Additional Support Resources

If, after reviewing this guide, further assistance is required please contact the EFILive Authorised Reseller from whom you purchased your product. They are your first point of contact for EFILive support related inquiries.

If your question is in relation to the actual tuning of your vehicle (i.e. how to gain performance, economy etc.) then please ask these questions on the EFILive Forum (http://forum.efilive.com/). EFILive does not provide support or assistance for the actual tuning of any supported vehicles.

CSP5 Cummins Switchable Programming

EFILive's CSP custom operating systems for the Cummins ECM‘s allows customers to be able to switch 'on the fly' between multiple tunes, all stored in the ECM's flash memory. Refer to the specific user guide for your controller for detailed instructions on how to upgrade your operating system.

Logging Data

EFILive’s Enhanced Data Logging (EDA) allows customers to log 45 individual data parameters specifically chosen to complement tuning at up to 50 frames per second using FlashScan V2/AutoCal Black Box Logging (BBL), V8 pass-thru logging & V7.5 pass through logging.

EDA is only accessible to customers who upgrade to EFILive’s CSP5 operating system. Refer to the specific user guide for your controller for detailed instructions on how to upgrade your operating system.

Factory scanning (data logging) of the Dodge Cummins ECM controllers is also supported. Useful factory scantool data is very limited. EFILive recommends users upgrade to CSP5/EDA for useful scantool data.

FlashScan/AutoCal Capacity and Tune File Sizes

FlashScan V2 has approx. 6MB of internal memory capacity for the storage of tune and log files. Capacity can be extended using an SD card.

AutoCal has approx. 6MB of internal memory capacity for the storage of tune and log files.

The tune file sizes for the CMD and CME controllers are significantly larger than existing controllers which directly restricts the number of tunes that can be stored on FlashScan V2/AutoCal internal memory.

CMD tune files are approximately 2.5MB each.

CME tune files are approximately 3.5MB each.

Supporting Remote Customers

Due to the size of tune files, moving tunes on/off an AutoCal device will be prevalent. EFILive recommends to those tuners using AutoCal for their end users, that tune files are managed via the Quick Setup in order to manage device configurations and minimize support issues.

Failed Flash Recovery Methods

In the event that an ECM fails during the flashing process, recovery methods exist to restore the ECM.

In most instances, simply retrying the flash process will return the ECM to working order.

In the instance where tuners apply security restrictions to a tune file, including locking to the controller serial number, and the flash fails, you must try to recover the ECM with a file that has no security restrictions in place (e.g. stock tune) before attempting to reflash a file with security restrictions.

If retrying the flash process does not return the ECM to working order, the Problem Flashing a Controller knowledgebase article provides additional support resources.

2010-2017 Quick Start

Finding the Correct Base File

The following instructions will determine the base tune file that should be used for each vehicle.

EFILive does not provide stock tunes or modified tunes. There are a variety of stock tunes available on the internet, or custom stock tunes can be purchased through organizations that have the necessary hardware and software to create personalized base files.

Determine Current Calibration

There are 3 methods to find the calibration details of the tune presently in the ECM. Customers can choose which method best suits their needs.

V8 Scan and Tune

1. With FlashScan V2 or AutoCal connected to your vehicle and your PC, open EFILive V8 Scan and Tune and select [F4: OBD] -> [F2: OBD].

3. Select the Retrieve All Information button to populate controller data. 4. Copy or record the Calibration ID to use in the match calibration requirements

step.



FlashScan V2 and AutoCal Display

These instructions assume FlashScan and AutoCal have been previously configured for BBX. Refer to BBX Configuration section of this document for configuration requirements.

FlashScan V2

1. With FlashScan V2 connected to your vehicle, select [F1: Scan Tool] -> [F1: Select PIDs] and select controller you wish to display.

2. Return to the main menu and select [F3: Diagnostics] -> [F1: Display Info] -> [F1: Display VIN/Info], the following data will be displayed:

3. Record the details displayed in the Cal: field to use in the match calibration requirements step.

4. If the [Select PIDs] option is not selected first, the following will be displayed:

AutoCal

For AutoCal, the user must boot into the advanced menu by holding down the [Next] button while powering up the device.

1. Navigate to [Scan Tool] -> [Select PIDs] and select the controller you wish to display.

2. Users can navigate to a range of options using the [Next] button. The following options are available:

"Scan Tool"->"Display VIN" "Scan Tool"->"Display OS" "Scan Tool"->"Display SN" "Scan Tool"->"Display Cal ID"

Where the display information exceeds 8 characters, a ">" character is displayed at the end of the data prompting the user to press [Next] to scroll the data horizontally. The "<" character indicates that the user can press the [Prev] key to scroll the data back again.

3. Record the details displayed in the Cal ID: field to use in the match calibration requirements step.



4. If the [Select PIDs] option is not selected first, the following will be displayed:

--------

VIN

3D7KS26>

--------

SN:

Sel PIDs

--------

OS:

Sel PIDs

--------

Record All Diagnostics

FlashScan V2 and AutoCal have the ability to create a text file that can be viewed using Windows notepad.

FlashScan V2

1. With FlashScan V2 connected to your vehicle, select [F1: Scan Tool] -> [F1: Select PIDs] and select controller you wish to display.

2. Return to the main menu, then select [F3: Diagnostics] -> [F4: Record All Diags]. FlashScan will display the file name that is saved onto the device.

3. If a controller is not selected in the Select PIDs menu, users will be presented with the message: "Freeze frame data will not be recorded until a PID selection is made." Select OK for FlashScan to create the file without any freeze frame data.

AutoCal

1. For AutoCal, the user must boot into the advanced menu (i.e. hold down [Next] button while powering up), then navigate to [Trouble Codes] -> [Record Diags]. AutoCal will display the file name that is saved to the device.

2. If a controller is not selected in the Select PID's menu, users will be presented with the message: "FF Data not rec." Select OK for AutoCal to create the file without any freeze frame data.

Once the file is saved, users should connect their FlashScan or AutoCal device to their PC, Open EFILive Explorer and navigate to the scan directory. The relevant file can then be transferred to PC and then opened or emailed to their tuner.

Match Calibration Requirements

1. Using the Calibration ID identified in the above steps, search the Cummins Flash Availability Document for that entry.

2. Copy the Calibration ID without the 2 letter suffix from the New Part Number(s) column.

3. To find a matching tune file, open the chosen CMD.ctz or CME.ctz file in to EFILive V8 Scan and Tune and match the Calibration ID displayed under the [F3: Tune] -> [F3: Calibration] tab against the Calibration ID chosen from the Cummins Flash Availability document.

http://kb.dcctools.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=366

http://kb.dcctools.com/index.php?View=entry&EntryID=366



The two letter suffix in the Calibration ID indicates the tune revision identifier, not a variation in Operating system.

Some Calibrations may be listed in the Cummins Flash Availability document multiple times. If you cannot find a matching base file, check the document for additional records of your Calibration ID.

4. Once you find a matching tune this can now become your base file should you ever need to revert back to a stock tune.

You cannot save the tune already installed in the ECM, once you flash over it, it is gone forever, so choose your base tune wisely.

Editing a Tune File

Follow the steps below to modify your Dodge Cummins ECM calibration.

1. Open the EFILive V7.5 Tune Tool application. 2. Click the File Open button.

3. Navigate to the location on your computer where the saved tune file you wish to open is located. Then click on the tune file to select it, and click Open.



4. Navigate to the table(s) you wish to modify by using the Windows Explorer style navigation window.

5. Edit selected table(s) by changing the values or by using the adjustment functions.

6. A range of tune file security options can be applied in the Permissions tab (or via the V8 software using [F3: Tune] -> [F4: Properties] -> Security Restrictions tab).

7. Save changes to the tune file by using the Save tuning file, Save tuning file as, or Save tuning file for AutoCal option.

If using the Save option, ensure you have a copy of your stock tune saved elsewhere.

Save tuning file as, and Save tuning file for AutoCal options automatically appends a sequence number to the filename to make it unique giving users a history of sequentially numbered files with each saved change made.
