REFLASH
 

Mr Cohron- i made an appointment to have my computer reflashed & pats resett tomorrow.is there anything special i need to do before carrying it to the dealership? unplug gryphon? after they reflash comp. do i download my new programs?are the new programs still on gryphon? i know you had a hard time with this last night and i am sorry so i really want to do it right. also send me a picture of ring. danesjewelry@pine-net.com AGAIN THANK YOU!

First off I don't really know what your situation is but before you take it in you should do the following.
1. Put the stock program back into the ecm so the gryphon display reads "0" in the upper right hand corner.
2. Remove cable and programmer from vehicle. Preferably with the key off.
3. When you get your vehicle back. Hook it up again as per manual instructions.
4. You will need to see if your HEX calibration code has changed. Not unless the dealer doing a reflash with the same HEX.
But its always a good idea to check.
5. If it has changed Bill needs to know pending weather or not he's writing tunes for you or he needs to totally rewrite them.
Peace!:)

Dane,

I'm glad we were at least able to get you running last night.

When you go back to the dealer to get the PCM reflashed, just remove the programmer from the vehicle.

Once the dealer has everything cleared out and reset, just reinstall your programmer and you should be good to go. All your custom tunes are already loaded so you will not need to update any further.

88,

The programming failure was not Dane's fault. For some reason the PCM didn't write properly when he went back to stock. When he updated the unit it wiped out his original VID and PATS so I couldn't do a complete recovery on the PCM and instead had to put a modified program to disable the PATS so the vehicle would be drivable. It would have helped if we'd have caught that failure before the unit was updated, but not much to do about that now I suppose.

QUESTIONABLE SETTINGS
