Default New programs require battery disconnect...

Strange thing happening.. first 8-10 new programs in my car, no problem.

Now, the DIC is completely locked up after a new program.. only way to reset is to disconnect the battery, wait a bit, and hook it back up.

Anyone else with this mystery????

Just happened to me. I think it was upload number 6. Uploaded fine and then all my gauges died and it just said DOOR AJAR, even after I pulled the key.

Disconnected the battery for about 30 seconds and everything was fine.

Mine is a 99, BTW.

Yeah, exactly what happened to me.. door ajar. next time it was coolant temp, etc... Car starts but dash is dead so you can't clear the codes, etc.

I went in with Autotap and got an error message along the lines of TAC -> Serial error. Cleared the code but it didn't help, until I unplugged the battery.

You going to the Hooters thing this Saturday? I'd love to share notes on LS1Edit.
