_MFB_ Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Anyone successful in making this work with tactrix 2.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Users seabass07 Posted September 14, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted September 14, 2012 From that page: Does this make sense? Which way would I adjust my '05 5EAT? Higher or lower? You would want to decrease it if you were having those issues. I haven't messed with it, but I think center diff pressure was available to make adjustments. That's all we can adjust on the 5eat though. I think its a blanket adjustment. If you're getting binding, might want to look into why. It isn't normal.

If you're getting binding, might want to look into why. It isn't normal. But didn't ntippet say that on '04+, you "decrease" it by increasing the adjustment? Or is that only 4EATs? Yeah, I know it's not normal to have binding - I've had it a while. Car was in a rear-end accident about a year ago. They said suspension/alignment was not impacted, but you never know. A few other bumps along the way as well. Honestly, I can't say it's doing it lately. I just know that when I take sharp turns at low speeds (maybe 15-20 mph) like u-turns, I get what seems like tire squeal that seems to come from the rear. It's annoying, but I'm not going to spend $3K on it just to "try" to fix it. It's happening even with different endlinks/front bushings/tires (they've all changed for wear reasons, squeal has stayed). On another note: the +200 rpm idle adjustment via freessm seems to have helped. No more "almost stalling". I know it's not ideal, but I need to be able to drive the car daily without fear of it stalling in traffic. Someday I'll have time to track down the exact cause..

Mega Users seabass07 Posted September 14, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted September 14, 2012 I don't think anyone has played with it on a 5eat yet. You won't hurt anything by experimenting, but either way, I doubt it will get rid of binding issues. Transfer clutch pressure at low throttle is very low as is. Worth a try though.

_MFB_ Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 No adjustment parameters for transmission. Idle yes, aircon off and on. The rest (logging) can done by rr. Hopefully it gets updated to support newer at models ;-) At least it can reset tcm, hopefully help with P0700 when it pops up again. That's a pita to erase with just Lv.

Mega Users seabass07 Posted September 15, 2012 Mega Users Share Posted September 15, 2012 Well that's that. Freessm hasn't been updated in a long time, so no additional support for newer models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadvw Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just FYI - I tried adjusting the clutch torque today (was feeling brave) :-) Freessm reported a problem communicating with the TCU. So, that's that.. However, for adding 100-125 rpm to my idle to avoid stalling, it's golden!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf4283 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 To resurrect this thread a bit I wanted to ask a quick question regarding the TCU learning after reset. How does the TCU learn the bad habits that require a reset? I was having a hard 2-3rd gear shift and reset it 2 days ago. The problem is now non-existent even in cold weather. What causes the TCU to learn wrong things I guess is the simple way of putting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 To resurrect this thread a bit I wanted to ask a quick question regarding the TCU learning after reset. How does the TCU learn the bad habits that require a reset? I was having a hard 2-3rd gear shift and reset it 2 days ago. The problem is now non-existent even in cold weather. What causes the TCU to learn wrong things I guess is the simple way of putting this. I don't think anyone on here knows the exact logic used by the OEM TCU for learning purposes. I understand it in terms of what the FSM says, basically that if a shift progression is taking too long, the TCU will add line pressure at points along the engagement's ramp up / slope, to get it shifting the same through the transmission's life cycle. It could be that there was a time when the TCU was reading the trans having trouble making that shift, so it added that line pressure (and not in a graceful way that a tuner could do with the right access). Then the trans stopped having that issue (again I don't know why something would come and go like this), but the TCU did not reverse learn (learn to take away added line pressure). Maybe you had 4 people and luggage in the car, maybe you were driving up mountain roads, maybe your trans fluid got airated, maybe this maybe that. Who knows. Short answer; it did it for a reason, I don't know the reason. [CENTER][B][I] Front Limited Slip Racing Differentials for the 5EAT now available for $1895 shipped, please inquire for details!

frank_ster Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 From what i have read is the tcu only learns on specific driving conditions. ie steady throttle of between 10-15 % once the tranny is warmed up. how it can learn bad habits well if it adapted for a sticking valve and then the sticking valve went away. rapidly degrading trans or just a bug in the programming.

doccrowley Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Has anybody got TCU reset to work with the tactrix 2.0? Or is there another way to reset my TCU? Throttlehappy wants me to re-set my TCU before I load his new map to my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekasbalto Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hey there! I have subaru legacy 2006 . Bought this cable VAG-COM KKL 409.1 OBD2 on ebay. Not able to connect throught the FreeSSL. The bluetooth adapter works fine... I am able to read the transmition but not the ECU... http://s018.radikal.ru/i509/1308/1d/92f854546689.jpghereis what i am getting... So what i can do?

Mega Users seabass07 Posted August 14, 2013 Mega Users Share Posted August 14, 2013 It should absolutely work with the ecu. I think the Bluetooth adapter is not compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishbone Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 When I think access to ECU I think tuning, that's what led me to say it does not work. You do have access to ECU parameters. Here is a decent guide for it http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=freessm&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDIQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.subaruoutback.org%2Fforums%2F65-parts-accessories-performance%2F39426-freessm-complete-access-your-ecm-tcu.html&ei=GfELUsSbCsfP2wXx_YDwDA&usg=AFQjCNHaa4MsbWwbL32JsDGMRtjn-NfiIg&bvm=bv.50723672,d.b2I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
