yep, it's possible to lock it so others cannot tune it.

That's a good question bro? I dont know. I guess if you had editing software you might be able to unlock/reset it? Did you ask in the tuning section?

What was it locked with (which software)??? I think that you may need a commercial version to unlock it depending upon which one it is...

Try using a lateral force transference device.

Never heard of a PCM being locked but who knows.

if you do not have the code that he used to lock it you have to have it reflashed back to stock at the dealer..
