Good morning all,
Yesterday I tried to tune my friends LLY to fix an underboost code after putting on an aftermarket exhaust and air filter. I purchased a license through EFI Live, and activated it. When I went to read the stock ECM it would not read it. I got several warning messages
$0537 controller locked,
$0101
And I cant remember the last code but it is the one that popped up the most. It stated that there was some form of electrical interference.

The owner has owned this truck from stock, so I don't see how the PCM has been locked, EFI live has never been used on this truck, or any other tuner. Also we pulled the fuses to the radio, no other electrical device has been added to the truck besides a winch. I hooked EFI live up to one of my cars that is tuned and everything seemed to be functioning fine so I don't see why I was getting a $0101 warning. I also restarted the computer and unhooked EFI live several times. I'm lost, and I would really like to help my buddy out.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

If it has an aftermarket radio, I've found pulling the fuses isn't always enough. I ALWAYS pull the radio AND unplug the radio interface box from the vehicle. So far it has worked everytime.

We can diagnose the ECM for you if you can send it to us.

Thanks all, I disconnected the radio and it still would not read. I than disconnected another module that tied into the car stereo harness and it began to read the PCM. It failed reading twice but on the third time it read the entire PCM and I was able to flash the new tune in without any issues.

I have had to disable the high speed option more than once to get some LLY's to take a flash with out error. For some reason I have been more successful with V7.5 pass through than V2 by itself or V8 pass through.
