Launch Control and Maps Gone?

Korstix · 04-11-2018, 11:49 AM

Howdy do folks,

So I found out last Friday that my launch control for some reason had stopped working. I thought, maybe something funky or I didn't depress the pedals all the way. So I try again today and no luck yet again. I also go to change my map to find out there is only 1! I originally had 3 maps. Called the tuner (PTuning) and they say they've never heard of the maps just disappearing. I have not had a retune or anyone (that i know of) put a cable to my OBDII. I have surely unhooked my battery between August 2017 and now, but that shouldn't cause this issue correct?

I have them sending me the tune file and I will reload it to see if that fixes it. Does anyone have any insight on what the issue may be? Did the googles search of a few combinations of wording and didn't come up with anything (words + the370z.com before i get flamed).

Ecutek Tuned*

Thanks in advance,

Joe

I have never heard of this, but my question is, if the map is "gone", what map are you driving on? Something is there

Are you running Ecutek or UpRev?

When I say "gone", there is only map 1 available, which should have launch control. I agree it is running on something, but possibly reverted back to stock somehow?

Apologies, Ecutek. OP will be updated.

Sounds like it was flashed with mapswitch modes disabled.. otherwise you would be able to move around between the available modes.

I agree, but last year when I had the car out before winter I had no issues switching. I personally did the switching of maps and it was working. Unless this mapswitch disable was something that could've been turned on without me knowing.

I am able to hold in "cancel" on cruise and it goes to 1. Just can't go up or down to change maps.

Did you try re-flashing the map?

SouthArk370Z · 04-11-2018, 04:39 PM

First thing I'd do is check the manual* and make sure I hadn't turned map switching off. Or you may have put it in some sort of valet mode.

Edit: Ecutek manual.

This is going to be my first try. They should be sending me the .can file today.

One of my maps was a valet mode map. Car performs normally, just no launch control and i can't switch map.

When you say manual, are you referring to the FSM or some Ecutek manual? Apologies for the confusion.

After re-reading my posts, I can understand the confusion. I meant the Ecutek manual for procedures to switch modes.

Edit: My guess is that the other maps are still there, it's just that you have lost the ability to access them. You may have accidentally turned off that feature.

Did you place the vehicle in valet mode before you parked it?

Negative, only time i have put it in valet is when i tested to make sure maps worked when i first got it tuned last year. Unless my fiance somehow figured out how to mess with the maps ha, it should've been on map 1.

Side note, I emailed Ecutek today detailing the issue. Possibly they would know something. Still waiting on the file to reflash from the tuner.

Update for those of the interested variety.

Ptuning sent me the file 2013, i have a 2017. This was my old car so i don't think that would've worked. They search for my tune from august of 2017, and conclude it was on a computer that had become corrupted, huzzah!

At this point i have the Ecutek support and Ptuning copied on every email. I have collected a ROM dump per Ecutek's request and will be doing a log of trying to go through the process of switching maps. So, at this point, i am still SOL on these features.

I am about 3 hours away from PTuning, so it's not an easy pop in for me. I said that if no solution or fix was found then i would expect a retune. I didn't blame the shop for this, as it seems to be quite the mystery. PTuning told me we would cross that bridge when we get there after we see what Ecutek comes back with.

I hate to be a negative Nancy, but am i wrong to assume i should get a retune at no cost (save for my gas money i'll have to spend)? I would imagine that if it wasn't anything the tuner had done incorrectly, then maybe they should be reimbursed from Ecutek if it was some sort of software glitch? Again, they haven't said no to this, they just don't seem to want to admit it right now.
