Put the pipe down.

Go ask this question on HPT's forum. I'm sure even if (when) the owner of HPT tells you you're wrong (like he did regarding SD tunes NOT having to be open loop) you'll still act like an ignorant know it all. It doesn't really matter. The fact is, you're wrong and you are wrong on nearly everything you post about regarding tuning.

It's scary that you get paid to tune people's cars and they have no idea how ignorant you are on how things actually work.
You da man! Thank you for aways helping

He is NOT helping you he is making you go backwards and making it im possible to tune your WOT fuel when you have a positive fuel trim---
Whenever you have a positive LTFT fuel trim "just before going to WOT" that same % is added to your WOT PE fueling as a safety--Everyone knows that---That's why it is important to get all your LTFT's to be "0" or slightly negative at P/T-- Because when you have a negative fuel trim just before going to WOT again as a lean safety the trims will lock on "0"-- as the ECM will never subtract fuel when going to PE to protect your engine from leaning down----This is also a byproduct of the learning system-- which you refuse to acknowledge ---Anyone with a data logger can verify this---
To me this is a simple issue of HP Tuners VS EFILIVE---- Maybe HP tells you something entirely different than EFILIVE---- EFILIVE training spends days explaining how LTFT's learn out---I can only assume that HP is sub standard tuning software and offers little as to how the closed/open loop stock system really works----
Argue your points with someone else----But to someone with superior software than retail HP Tuners I can only offer you "good luck: with your lack of training thru HP---

Once again you failed to read. No one is disregarding the "learning system. (the fact that the ecu will learn some things such as fuel trims)." No one is arguing about how LTFTs work nor is anyone saying that your fuel trims shouldn't be 0 or near it..this is just doing your work when tuning. I don't even know who you're arguing with at this point. It's not like the efilive folks came up with fuel trims...

You're cutting down the software that you don't use, which I get that's the choice you made but they work the same and would be taught the same way. All you have to do is a basic search on the internet to find that they are two sides to the same coin. "Retail" hptuners is purchased the same way as "retail" efilive so you're using the same level "tuner" product. Unless you have access to the GM programming tools you're in the same boat lol.

Calm down and go read your training materials...

Finally you have changed your ideas about learning but still refuse to say that initially you said that " fuel trims don't learn " But now recognize they do --All was forgotten until you said I needed to re read my training manuals---Again you take the low road---
Gm utilizes many "learning systems in their stock tuning
1. LTFT's learn out and settle on "0" if they are not to far off (beyond apprx +/- 20%)
2. Knock retard learns the sensitivity of the knock sensors
3 Too many occurrences of knock which is learned will make your timing table go into the "Low Octane table" until you refill your gas tank over apprx 3/4 of a tank-when it will be re set back into the hi octane table
4. If you set you shift times all to "0" (adaptive learning) your shift times will be learned by driver input
5 On Allison transmissions the Shift times and defueling will be learned by driver input and will learn out the base trans pressure as well
Most all of these learning tables take about 50-75 miles of normal driving to finally be learned out and settle on a new base number--

NO ONE has said the computer doesn't learn. Of course it does--that's the whole point. The issue is your total lack of understanding on HOW it learns or HOW fuel trim values are factored in to fueling calculations.

Refilling the gas tank has absolutely nothing to do with which timing table is utilized. The computer has a parameter called "knock learn factor" that starts at 0 (high octane table only) and is increased each time knock over a certain amount is detected. The amount "knock learn factor" increases varies but stock it will increase about 0.22 for 8* of knock retard.

With a knock learn value of 0.22 base ignition timing would work out to 0.78 * high octane timing value + 0.22 * low octane timing value. A value of 0.5 would be halfway between the high and low octane table timing values. Basicaly, 0 would use only the high octane table and 1 would use only the low octane table. Everything in between is interpolated accordingly.

Knock learn factor then starts continuously decreasing by a tiny amount when certain conditions are met; typically MAP over about 50kpa is the main factor that has to be met. If knock is detected, knock learn factor increases, timing is biased (not switched) further towards the low octane timing table.. As long as there is no knock and MAP is over 50kpa, knock learn factor is decreased. Of course hopefully this cycle isn't necessary at all if there isn't any knock to begin with.

Knock learn factor goes the opposite direction on gen 3 vehicles, so 0 would be low octane only, 1 would be high octane only.

Something tells me your EFI Live training course didn't teach you that. I've actually posted all of this before to you, but as usual it was a waste of time to bother trying to teach you anything. You already know it all.

Please find and quote where anyone disagreed with the fact that the ecu has learning capabilities for some things.
