With a TPI using DataMaster, how can you tell when you are in Power Enrichment mode??
I don't see this flag anywhere, or its not obvious.
Thanks

In the upper right hand corner of the display there are all those flags there. you can double click on any one of them & change what that one is. there is one there for BLM Enable (BLM ENB). This will not specifically tell you when it is in PE Mode but it will tell you when BLM Enable is NOT active. Mind you there are a number of things that will make the BLM NOT active, but if you are mashing on the loud petal, it is likely NOT to be one of those other things.
one down side to this is that you dont really know what disabled the BLM, some things are that it came out of closed loop for whatever reason, (coolant temp is a good one). so this is kind of "iffy".
one of the most obvious ways to tell though it just to look @ your BLM & INT, they are going to go from some number to 128 & NOT move a bit, until it becomes enabled again.

Having reviewed my choices there is a flag there called single fire. this might have something to do with it. Maybe someone that is better versed in the code can tell us if this is an indication of the car going into PE mode or if this is just the point when the IOT overcomes the duration of the camshaft & it is just spraying ***** nilly.

Thanks for the replies, I guess its not as easy as the scan tool sw I have for the GN where there's a flag that lights up in the corner saying "PE". I was hoping for a bit being turned "on" somewhere.
I have noticed that the BLM is locked at 128 so thats a good enough indicator. Trying to tune the fuel cells vol. efficiency and need to make sure I'm not in PE for any of the Kpa vs. rpm combinations that I've scanned.
