HOLY CRAP, MOST AWESOME PROGRAM EVER. You should've seen my grin as I drove around with the thing running. It's amazing how your programs seem to pull off what a certain other program can't--namely polling multiple variables all at once and returning accurate information 100% of the time in nearly real-time speed.
I'm glad you like it.

I did manage to drop it to 5% once, when I mashed the gas from a dead stop. That was fun too.
Maybe one of the mechanical guys can chime in here on how the duty cycles relate to the torque split?

Yeah. Sounds like a bug in the program. There's quite a few things that I need to fix up.

It's a pretty simple program. Just three steps repeated over and over: read value, decode value, display result. All the hard work talking to the TCU is handled by the ssm library functions. Could very easily be modified to pull in ECU data as a less pretty alternative to Kevin's program.

I thought solenoid B controlled the torque converter, but I'm not 100% sure. On my car DutyB seems to stay at 5% unless I'm in 4th with power mode off. Can somebody explain how this works?
