Hypertech problem - Big time! I had just finished installing new plugs/wires and a hypertech thermostat. When I was finished I started the car and let it idle a few minutes and everything looked good.
I thought it would be a good time to reprogram for the low temp thermostat, so I plugged in the HPP3 and went through the settings, then pushed Go.
When the progress bar was at about 20% I started cleaning up my tools and garage. When I went out to check on it about 20 minuters later the HPP3 said "9.0v battery low / restart". Nothing happened when i pushed any of the buttons. I turned the caroff and unplugged the HPP3. When I tried to start the car the battery was indeed dead.
This morning with a new battery the car won't start (cranks good). I plug in the HPP3 and it says "programing interupted code: 006 call Hypertech", I had to go to work so I let it sit. This evening I went through the PCM reset procedures I saw here on ls1tech. Now it says"programing interupted" "restarting, establishing communicatrions with car" " turn ing. to run"....that goes across the screen again and again.
Any ideas out there from any of you night owls?
I have a whole 6 hours before I have to go to work <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

Re: Hypertech problem - Big time! Not good start by calling Hypertech,
will probably have to have PCM reflashed

Re: Hypertech problem - Big time! You hit the nail on the head Hawk. Hypertech said when it's over 50% complete, or between 50 - 100% complete and you loose power to the process the program is hosed. Looks like I get to learn all about removing the PCM.
Hypertech did say if I shipped it to them overnight they wouldd reset the PCM and fix the HPP3 and ship it back one-day.
It's fair I guess. I did let the battery get old and all.

Re: Hypertech problem - Big time! I UPS'ed it to Hypertech. UPS said Hypertech would have it by 08:00, Hypertech said they would reset it and turn it around red-tag tomorrow afternoon. I should have it back Wed morning. (if all goes according to plan).
Looks so pittifull out there....sitting up on a jackstand....one big paw laying on the ground...pittifull....just pittifull.
