I had a guy flash my PCM, before I started doing it myself, and it gave a error message that caused the PCM to "Brick" or "Fried it" to where I had to get a whole new PCM. Flashed the new one and everything was ok. You have to be really careful when flashing these PCM's they are real delicate lol. If anything interrupts the flash routine, like a popup window or message window on a laptop, then your pretty much done and have to start all over from a new PCM. That's what happened to me anyway, others may want to chime in.

Well, the program is telling you to disconnect the ECM and let it sit so it resets itself. I'd try that first.

Yup, tried that about 10 times and get the same message each time. Thanks, though!
