Ok long story short. Lost communication while programing. Car will not talk to laptop any more. Have it towed to a dealership who says they can vin flah it. They call back and say no go. They can not communicate with my car. But i already new that. Thats why they have it after all. I thought dealer ships could fix this type of thing.??

 

You pulled the flash chips off correct?

 

Yeah but i put them all back on. Its doing the same thing as before i pulled the chips.

 

i just got off the phone with them again. And they are trying to tell me its not my computer?????? why dont ny have any good shops. these guys are trying to tell me its somthing else. Cause the car cranks over but dont go....Stupid clowns. ... a new computer is like 350 is what they just told me.

 

i had mine lose connection in middle of tune. locked up the computer and the dodos at the dealer couldnt figure out i did it luckly so i got a new PCM under warrnaty lol

 

This is a "no response to DLC port" or "Communication problem with DLC port". The dealership telling you that they cannot fix this is a stupid dealership. In SI2000 have them go in and put those keywords I wrote above and a whole troubleshooting process will come up for fixing the DLC (Diagnostic Link Communicator).

If neither of those work (they have updated their systems recently) simply put in "DLC" and a bunch of items pertaining to the DLC should come up. Select the one that fits your situation (I.E. no communication with the DLC port most likely) and get the troubleshooting list.

 

Well, if his chips are damaged or incomplete the PCM can't boot up and thus can't recieve/send class-2 transmissions.

 

Just replace those pesky flash chips!
