What's the proper way to get into SD mode?
I've read a lot about how to get "into" SD mode on LS1tech.com and the HP Tuners board, but it seems there is a little confusion on what way to do it. Some people say set it up this way, others say do it this way.
What is the "Proper" way to get into SD mode?
- Do I set MAF fail freq to 0?
- Set all Open Loop to 1.13?
- Set PE to 1.000?
I plan on unplugging my MAF for SD tuning.

When you go to tune, yes you should turn off PE and set your open loop table to a constant like 1.13~1.17 as long as you have a wideband to verify your AFR. But that is open loop, which has nothing to do with SD. SD is simply the way a motor calculates fueling without a MAF sensor.
If I am in true SD mode, then the Open Loop table should have no bearing/affect on the SD tuning, correct?
As for scanning with my HP Tuners EIO, just use the LM-1 PID or use the AFR PID?
Unless you want to be in Open Loop, you shouldn't mess with the O2 sensor inputs.
Take a look at this link. The document is written for EFILive Flashscan, but has good information that might help you.
Section "C" has all the changes you need to do to get into OL SD.
What is the BEN or Base Efficiency Numerator? Is that the same as Volumetric Efficiency?
What is the "External Analog Voltage"
I will be using HP Tuners EIO and just need clairifaction.

1. Set MAF Fail Freq to 0
2. For DTCs P0101, P0102, and P0103, set it to "Report on First Error"...now, you can even toggle the button for "SES Off", but as long as you don't select the third option (which is "No Error Reported"), it will still set the codes. If you only set the "No MIL Light" without turning the SES to OFF, your car will still set the "Service Vehicle" light.
3. 0 out the entire MAF table. As soon as you start the car, it will stumble around during the first 5 seconds of running...just make sure you give it a little gas, it will burp, and set the code and be in SD. If it the MAF table means nothing at all to the computer, it can't do anything with it, now can it? No guess work with this method...
