Are there any error codes showing in your logs?

[nathans1987]

not that i have seen, the errors come up automatically when you connect and log yeah? i dont have todo anyhting special?

You need to click on the little picture of a 'red' motor in the tool bar of the scan tool to display any codes.

That I dont know. Hopefully Ross, Paul or Joecar can help on this one.

i might reflash the whole cos 3 maybe it got corrupted somehow :s drags start tonight hope it dosent effect me.

I notified Paul about the error message on the instrument cluster.

Module $10 is the PCM.

When you click on the red motor button like hquick said, the scantool should also show you the DTC... post a screenshot.

[joecar]

It seems to me that your IPC displays "Error" to let you know there's a current DTC...

See attached image (sorry for the hurried sketch), scroll down carefully, look for the DTC's with coloured icons, these are the ones that are active... the legend tells you what the DTC state is.

[joecar]

On the DTC subtab, you should see one or more active DTC's...

What are their codes...?
