I pm'd Jack and Bill already. Just wanted to see if anyone else had this problem and knew how to fix it.

Well it should be updated if you just bought this...unless it was used. Because I am pretty sure they said they update them with the latest firmware before shipping out.

Now to the part in bold....did you make sure to turn your key to the on position(without truck running) before you plugged the gryphon up to the cable?...And I found that the check gauges happens everytime I go to program my truck especially if it has done been cranked...something about the programming overiding the sensors at the time?? I think that was the explanation.

Yes the key was in the on position without truck running. The first time I tried it the truck had been sitting for about 9 hours. Also tried right after driving with same results.

Tell you what. Run the truck for 5-10 minutes with nothing on(no lights or accessories). Wait 5 minutes. Try going through the steps again. You might be having a voltage issue. Even try it with the door closed.

Hope this helps.

Yipes! I'd forgotten all about that, JWB! GOOD CATCH! I've included this in my new file of "fixes" - maybe eventually, I'll get my act together.

I've been PM'ing Bill about this problem, so, hopefully, when he has a moment, he'll be able to help the Sailor.
