VCI Cable Reading and Flashing Instructions

Tuning with Protomotive?  Here’s the VCI Cable Reading and Flashing Instructions to help you get started.  These instructions are for the 4.1.0.1 Flash client using Durametric VCI cables with the LED under the E in Porsche.

How to install the software

  1. Download and install https://www.protomotive.com/downloads/ProtoFlashClient41061.zip
  2. Please Unzip it to c:\Program files or c:\Program Files (x86) on 64 bit machines
  3. It will be in the ProtoFlashClient directory now
  4. Go into the ProtoFlashClient folder. Right click on T4TPorsche and Create a shortcut to your desktop for T4TPorsche.exe
  5. Then you can simply double click the shortcut to start your read / flash
  6. If your laptop doesn’t have Microsoft .net 4.0, install this. Windows 7 and up should already have it. Xp does not, but may have if you run other softwares requiring the .net setup. https://www.protomotive.com/downloads/dotNetFx40_Client_setup.exe

How to run the software (read and flash)

  1. After the software has installed, plug in the cable so it recognizes and installs the drivers before running the software.
  2. After the drivers have been recognized, plug the cable into the car, key on (not running) click on read.
  3. Locate where you’d like to save the file and remember that location (desktop is great)
  4. Once done reading, send/email me the VIN.trx file that comes out. VIN will be your actual vin # with the extension .trx.
  5. Protomotive will tune your file and return it as a *.ttx file
  6. Open the flash client, while connected to the car with the key on, and click on write
  7. Locate the *.ttx file and it’ll write your file
  8. When all is done, close the software, turn your key off, then back on, then start your car.

Datalogging explained Next over are some more fueling values- Fuel Trim Mean Value Bank 1 and 2 Actual and Lambda Value Bank 1 and 2. The Fuel Trim Mean Value Bank 1 and 2 are what you'd normally see called "Short Term Fuel Trims" in an OBD2 scan tool. A value of 1.00 is telling you that the ECU is not having to trim the fuel from the base mapped values in the tune to maintain the target Lambda. Even though we're not logging the target Lambda, it is another variable you can look at. The short terms versus long terms we explained earlier are kind of like short term and long term memory- the short terms are an immediate value and taking care of the trims to maintain the actual Lambda according to the target.🎯 And if these are consistently high, the long terms will absorb those values every few seconds to try to keep the short terms closer to 1.0. So the short terms move fast and the long terms move slow. 🐇🐢 997.1 Turbo Datalogging Instructions https://www.protomotive.com/wp422/product/997_1tt-datalogging-instructions Unlock the hidden potential of your car by understanding its power secrets!

The actual throttle plate angle is the next column over and is pretty much exactly what it's telling you it is. On some cars 100% is 100%; while on others 100% or max throttle angle may be limited to 85%. What we're typically looking for here is throttle closure since we're dealing with E-throttle cars and the ECU is controlling them based on many, many conditions- and not simply where your foot is on the throttle pedal. So if you're at wide open throttle and you suddenly see the actual throttle plate angle closing down then maybe reopening a few RPMs later, that's usually caused by the ECU sensing something isn't right and putting the engine into a protective mode. 🔐 997.1 Turbo Datalogging Instructions https://www.protomotive.com/wp422/product/997_1tt-datalogging-instructions Unlock the hidden potential of your car by understanding its power secrets!
