After using chip for a few days decided to try some other tunes.
With truck off I removed chip and switch.
Inserted chip into programmer.
Connected usb cable.
Connected power supply.
opened software.
selected new tunes
verify chip is in pos 1.
verify program is in 6-position chip.
clicked on write to chip, goes through loading tunes then click ok to erase chip and i get an error"The module was not either placed in pos 1 or is not properrly formatted as a multi position module".

check diagnostics and multi authority bit =FF

tried reseating chip no change....

Thanks Mike

Thanks Lars.

mkf350, did you put the programs on the chip that you have been running for "a few days" or were they on it when it arrived from PHP?

Usually, you should erase before attempting to write. I don't have the package you do though, so I hope that Bill can get you going.

Mike,

Not sure what happened there. It sounds as if the chip might have lost the formatting, but not sure as to why.

First question... When connected and the software is open, what are the PID, CID, and FID in the lower right corner of the application?

Second... At this point, does the chip still work in the truck or is it completely unusable?

Let me know where we're at and I'll get a new chip out the door for you.

Thanks.

Bill,
Here is what I have...
Chip still is usable.

Hey Mike,

If you can get the chip to us, Bill will take a look at it. If everything's okay, we'll just reformat it and get it back out to you immediately. If something's wrong, we'll get another one ready and get IT back out to you immediately.

[mkf350]

Ok will do.

[Groovy Chick]

Let me know when it's coming our way so I can keep a look out for it. Wouldn't want it to go in with the upgrades and sit there for a week!

I notice you're running an evaluation copy of Windows 7, could this be contributing to the problem? (Nice wallpaper, by the way).

I actually noticed that, too, Jack, and wondered the same thing. I called Bill (he was out of the office all day) and ran it past him. He doesn't think it has anything to do with it, but he's relieved to see that the software works on Windows 7!
