Drivetrain Abuse Mode

• Enter Abuse Mode Test if RPM Greater Than: If RPM is greater than this value the abuse mode test will run
• Enter Abuse Mode Test if Speed Less Than: If Speed is less than this value the abuse mode test will run

  
  

• Abuse Mode Timer vs. Trans Temp: This is the time the VCM will stay in abuse mode

Gear Abuse
These values reduce torque to prevent transmission damage when selecting gear in an abusive manner.

• Max Speed: Above this speed abuse tests are disabled
• Min TPS: If TPS is greater than during a gear select, abuse is declared
• Min RPM: If RPM is greater than during a gear select, abuse is declared
• Spark: Spark during abuse
• AFR: AFR during abuse
• Injector Disable Min RPM: Above this RPM, injectors will be disabled if abuse is declared
• Injector Disable Number: Number of injectors disabled if abuse is declared

Differential Abuse
These values control differential scoring abuse mode.

• Min Speed: Below this speed, differential scoring abuse tests are disabled
• Spark: Spark during abuse
• AFR: AFR during abuse
• Injector Disable Number: Number of injectors disabled if abuse is declared

Supercharger Torque Management (V6 Only)
The values affect Supercharger Torque Management on supercharged V6 engines.

• TCS Mode Threshold: When TCS is active and TCS Mode exceeds this threshold, the VCM will calculate a maximum allowed supercharger boost.
• Enable Speed: If in 3rd gear and above this speed, the Supercharger Torque Management Timer will begin
• Enable Time (secs): If Supercharger Torque Management Timer expires torque is reduced. (ie. 3rd gear, speed above Enable Speed for Enable Time seconds)
• Torque Reduction Mult: Allowed maximum torque is multiplied by this value when enabled.
