ECU will not read for state inspection
Had a new cam put in with a professional tune, the tuner locked the tune, car runs great no codes. The car is a 2002 LE SS with 12k miles on it, ran car for a whole summer before i had to get a new inspection sticker. I went to get my car inspected and the state inspection code reader cannot connect to the ECU? Anyone have this problem before?

Yes they are connected to a State computer and it is logged into the cars history. So now i have a failed inspection on the history I'm going to give slowhawk a call to see if it has anything to do when he locked the tune?

yeah, if he locked it, you won't be able to read the pcm...
that guy needs to unlock it/reflash your tune without locking it...

dude.. sorry... I didn't read his whole post initially... skimmed through it quick and just saw he had a tune and it was locked and it couldn't be read.... (yeah, I know, I gotta read ALL of the words)
I just went back and re-read his post and saw that he mentioned you, and my immediate thought was "oh **** - can't be locked, Slowhawk doesn't do that, and he knows what the hell he's doing".... was going to edit my reply/post to the OP, but saw your reply here already, heh...
so, sorry man, I apologize... was my bad... no disrespect intended...

Just pretty much busting on ya.
To op or who ever has this problem. It is either the fuse problem, loose wires at the obd2 connector or someone screwed up a remote starter/alarm install that cuts into the PCM data wire going from the obd2 connector.
