Why?

The newer NexGen Flex Fuel is different from what was offered in the past including the physical kit, how it was implemented in the software/on the car, and to a lesser extent how you will tune it.


Flex Fuel Changes

The following tables have been removed and no longer need to be tuned. They’ve been pre-calibrated with the default values for the COBB NexGen FF kit. This means a bunch of the guess work and starting effort for a map is already done for you.

Activation Changes

Toggles are going to be slightly different and will need to be changed to correspond to whatever sensors you’re using. The ECU will try to process the NexGen module signal when ANY of these toggles are enabled. This means the module is required in order for other sensors to be read properly even if the ethanol sensor is not actively used.

Additional Sensor Input Changes (Fuel Pressure)

You can only use one additional sensor input (Fuel Pressure or custom sensor inputs) and it MUST be plugged into the TGV-R input between the NexGen FF harness and the stock engine harness.

Additional sensor input requires the NexGen FF kit to be installed even if the ethanol sensor is not actively used.

Monitors

There are only some minor changes to monitoring.

New DTCs

DTC

Description

Cause

COBB1

Ethanol Sensor Voltage Low Input

Typically caused by a short or a break in the harness (or the content sensor being unplugged. Could also be caused by contaminants in fuel

COBB2

Ethanol Sensor Voltage High Input

High voltage can be caused by water in the fuel, or a short on the sensor. (water in the connector)

COBB6

COBB NexGen Flex Fuel module not detected

Module is likely unplugged.

COBB7

COBB NexGen module lost communication

Intermittant connection with the module or lost module communication entirely, typically due to a loose connection.

Some of these DTCs may result in other dtcs coming up in conjunction.
