ECM: not located!!!

[1999RedXLT]

If I remember correctly, after I plugged mine in, it told me to turn the key off and then told me to turn it back on. I have plugged and unplugged mine several times and I think I've gotten that message. When I do I just unplug OBDII plug and plug it back in. That seems to work. Also, I've turned the switch off and back on.

I have gotten that message when I plug it in without having the key on. I found mine works best if I have the truck on (not started) and then plug it in.

Hope this helps. Once you get it going you will never want to run stock again... except when you are teaching a younger person to drive...

What Circuit was trying to tell you, 4x4billy, is that you MUST have the ignition key in the ON position (radio plays, stuff works, etc - but engine off) BEFORE you plug the Gryphon in. Is that the way things were when you connected it?

What he said.

...and with that I will leave it in Jack's capable hands.

Ok, sigh - I'm drawing a total blank. I've been through my "file" of "fixes" and nothing looks like this. I'll try to get Bill's attention.
