I am using TunerPro to edit my bin file.

How do I turn of error codes? (As in REMOVE them)

It's a 6E bin being used in a 165 ECM.

N8MAN1068

what codes?

PMGCamaro

Lets say codes

27
28
29
38
39

For example

How do I go about removing these codes from the PROM ?

See the hac for your mask. IIRC, the $6E is on the file server at craigs site. There are diagnostics masks that are anded with the error bytes before they are saved. In the mask, place a '0' at the bit representing the code you wish to disable and the code will be disabled if it has been flagged.

I think I need somebody to walk me through this

what is IIRC?

I have the $6E from Craigs site... The zip file contained a bin file, a src file (the hack file) and an asm file. W

What software do I need to open the src and asm files?

Where are these diagnostic masks you speak of?

What is an error byte?

Please elaborate. Thanks

IIRC is if i recall correctly. The asm/src files can be opened with windows notepad. This is from my ecm (the $6E will be different but the general idea is probably the same) The error bytes are used to store the error codes. There is also a set of malf. bytes that are saved to permanent storage in the ecm. They are used to keep track of what errors have been flagged on the ecm as well as being used to output the errors through the ALDL. Basically the diagnostics mask will be checked to see if an error is being flagged. If its set to zero, the error will not be set and that bit will be cleared out of the error and malf. bytes and not stored. No SES light or errors will be reported. Once you open the hac, you will be able to see the diag masks. They are three bytes. Basically, there are 8 bits to the byte and you put a 1 in the position of the errors that you want to recognise and a 0 in the position of the codes you want to not be recognised. Then you use windows calculator or something to convert the 8 bits to decimal or hex and enter it into the prom.

heres an exerpt from the hac. Little different from whats done on my C3 but still the same general idea.

I playing stupid here, why would you want to diable and or completely remove an error code other than just clearing it by disconnecting the ecm from the battery?

lets say you swap manifolds to one that doesnt have a EGR on it.

now you get a EGR code...

if you disable the code in the PROM, there is no EGR code anymore... you get no SES light, and theres no problem.

(just one example)

steve8586iroc

Is it disabling the error code you want or to just disable the egr from working. Example, if you disable the egr error code but don't disable the egr function itself then the ecm is still add timming advance when you don't want it too. Even thought you will not get an error code you still have a problem. I would think it would be wiser to just disable the functions you don't want to have an error codes for then you don't have to worry about getting a code at all. JMO.

perhaps thats a bad example, but im new at this too.

the function, as its written in assembler, shouldnt have to be edited out.. i would leave that alone.

instead, the triggers to turn on the function, such as the EGR turn on speed, can easily be modified... they're usually constants.

in the case i gave, id probly just change the turn on for the EGR to 254mph and leave it. but im sure there are other codes you might have to modify diffrently.

Thank you for the info!
