Hi,
I reflashed my stock 2015 Accord V6 AT with the "hondata tuned" tune. I have 91 octane gas. Now I'm looking at some knocks happening. There are about 10 of them in a few miles I drove. A few knocks also happens with factory tune.
Knocks seem mostly happen around 1500-1750rpm and column 7-8. I retarded the ignition timing of that area a little but am still getting a few knocks. The current knock control value is about 51%. I hope some of you can help take a look and see if that's normal or suggest some adjustments.
There is also a mystery how the actual ignition timing (IGN) is calculated. At some points I found the ignition timing is more than the numbers in the ignition table. For example this one:
The ignition table highlights numbers 27, 22.5, 28 and 25, but IGN is 35. A second knock happened soon after that. So I guess there must be some other parameters which could add to the ignition timing?

Re: some knocks and wonder how IGN value is calculated
It is most likely the knock igniotion limit tables: https://www.hondata.com/help/flashpro/k ... on%2Blimit
They can add timing if the conditions are right.

Re: some knocks and wonder how IGN value is calculated
It's strange that it adds to the ignition table numbers. According to the manual, the ignition table contains the timing for the best performance. So adding time to it will decrease performance unless the knock limit is negative. But for that particular spot, the knock limit is positive number.

Re: some knocks and wonder how IGN value is calculated
Newer ECUs make a distinction between 'cruise' and 'accel' and run different ignition maps etc. Subaru is one such example.
Hondata should be able to trace the code in IDA a little better and confirm your 2015+ Honda does not share the exact same ignition timing logic as the older Hondas... Because it is quite clear from your datalogs that the following formula is incorrect for your 2015 V6 Accord.
