new gryphon not programming

jhedges16 · #1 Thu, February 12th, 2009, 07:49 PM

i got my gryphon tonight and went to load the level 1 tune into my truck. I left it connected for about 50 minutes and it just sat at the unlocking pcm screen. I disconnected it cuz it would have killed my battery if i would have left it connected for much longer. any ideas of what i should do?

After you unplugged it, did you try it again, Josh?

Josh, I've never seen the screen you are talking about. Can you confirm for me that:

1. Your ignition was in the ON position before you connected the Gryphon to the OBDII port, and,

2. Your truck does not already have a tune installed in its PCM?

Please, I'm just trying to eliminate some of the more common problems before we involve the "Great One". He's really up to his neck in alligators right now and we all need to cut him some slack if we can.

no i did not try it a second time...its been a long day and my trucks been a little aggravating today...

yes the ignition was on before i plugged in the gryphon and the truck does not have a tune installed already. i just got the gryphon today and i have never had another programmer

same thing happened today

i drove the truck first running some errands so it wouldnt be cold and then tried to load the level 1 tune. it took about 35 mins today and i just gave up.

if it matters, heres the steps i took. first plugged in the cable to the edge. turned ignition on. plugged in obd port. screen came on. hit menu. power programming. followed prompts to turn ignition off. then back on. screen came up saying "unlocking pcm..." and thats all that happened

What's a good time for Billy to call you, Josh?

anytime today until about 3:30 would be great. My girlfriend is taking my truck after that and i wont have it back until sunday. If he cant reach me today, anytime after 2 on monday, wednesday, or friday would work. i understand that he is really busy right now so its no hurry if he cant reach me for a while.
