Hi guys,
I am looking for some help with a customers truck. I will go over what I did step by step and maybe someone will be able to tell me how to get the truck to flash.
Truck is a 2006 LBZ with a remote start and trailer brake controller it had a Diablo tune in it with no hand held and was bought that way from the dealer, everything else is stock. The computer is a 32 bit windows vista (yes I know about running as admin)
- Had to update the Autocal to the newest bootloader and bootblock that came with V8.2.2 Build 229
- Read out the tune that was in the truck, read out with no issues however it had a checksum issue which I am sure was from the diablo.
- Made a DSP5 tune for the customer with an OS of 12604138, I have flashed this exact tune into many other trucks.
- Saved it for remote flashing, again done this 100's of times.
- Connected to the customers computer and got the info I needed for ordering a second license for the autocal (this autocal was also used to tune his brothers truck a few months earlier)
- Once the license showed I proceeded to open up my DSP5 tune in the scan and tune window and clicked full flash.
- Everything started out just fine till we got 7 minutes in where I got a General Programming Failure ($085)
- Turned off the key, asked the customer if there was anything aftermarket on the truck and he said there was a remote starter and a brake controller
- Got him to pull the fuses for the remote starter and to try again
- This time the flash only went about 2 minutes in before the same error popped up
- Did some searching to see what it could be without much luck, had him hook up a battery charger to the truck and to pull both the INFO and RADIO fuses just to see
- This time it would go to erasing and then kick itself out as soon as it came up that it was erasing with the exact same error code.
- Copied the tune files to the autocal and then tried to use the Autocal to directly flash the truck with the exact same error code right after it starts to do its thing.
- I do not think the ECM is dead, EFI Live still detects it and it otherwise seems fine, but it will not accept either a Cal or full flash and that error pops up instantly.
- Tried to read out whatever is left in the ECM and on the scan and tune window it would not pop up the ECM. However when using the AC as a stand alone it went to 0% read and just sat there. Which makes me believe it is still seeing the computer. I also asked the customer to turn off the key and try to read out the tune just to see what I would get for an error and a $0281 popped up, again leading me to believe its still alive.
Looking for some ideas to get this truck back on the road.
