<h1>Direct Access Changes</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> The following files define some "custom" direct access tables we provide to our users that need them. They represent functionality that a few people need but that we don't feel warrants a new release and change to the core ECMLink application and code base. So instead, we provide direct access tables to make the changes for those that really want them. </p> </div> <h2>Installing the file</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> To use one of the files below, simply download the file into the following directory: </p> <p> <u>Windows XP:</u> <br/> C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;username>\ecmlink\resources\records </p> <p> <u>Windows Vista/Windows 7:</u> <br/> C:\Users\&lt;username>\ecmlink\resources\records </p> <p> <u>General Windows:</u> <br/> %USERPROFILE%&lt;nowiki>&#92;&lt;/nowiki>ecmlink&lt;nowiki>&#92;&lt;/nowiki>resources&lt;nowiki>&#92;&lt;/nowiki>records </p> <p> <u>Linux/Mac:</u> <br/> $HOME/ecmlink/resources/records </p> <p> The directory should already exist, so if it doesn't, you may be looking in the wrong place. </p> <p> Once you have one of the files installed, bring up or restart the ECMLink application. When you connect to your ECU, you'll have a new direct access entry that corresponds to the file you placed into that "records" directory above. </p> </div> <h2>Simple binary files</h2> <div class="level2"> <p> Simply change the one cell in these tables to "0" to disable the corresponding function and hit Save to ECU. </p> <span class='np_break'> </span> <div class="table"><table class="inline"> <thead> <tr class="row0"> <th class="col0">Name </th><th class="col1">File </th><th class="col2">Description </th> </tr> </thead> <tr class="row1"> <td class="col0">Alt.

So when running USDM code (which ECMLink is based on) inside a JSpec GVR4 Galant ECU, the warning light flickers any time the USDM code was modulating the purge control output. Since almost every JSpec GVR4 out there has this sensor removed anyway, we provide an option to disable the warning light by effectively disabling the USDM purge control code.

This file provides a patch to disable this limit so that you can configure the OpenLoop tables as lean as you want (like the 2G guys already can). Typical limit is around 12.9:1 in stock form.

For lack of a better name, we're jokingly referring to this as a factory "VTEC" mode. You can disable this operation by setting the value in this table to 0. Set the value to 1 to enable it.
