Hey all,

Hopefully there is a way to get this unlocked, I was able to read the cal, and make changes, went to reflash cal and it tells me it was locked with a custom key, I need a way to program this ECM, it has to go Wednesday. I did not lock the ECM and now I can't read the cal out of it. Engine still starts and runs but I have to make changes to get rid of the CEL and fix a speedo parameter that is causing it to read wrong. Any help would be great.

Thanks,

did u read/write the tune with the tune tool or v8 software? if u used the v8 software you can just write another tune over the top of it

Never heard of this happening before, are you able to post the tune up that you read out?

same problem but different. popped in a different ecm from my old suburban because I needed the gas tune from it before I pu in the duramax but forgot. swapped this 07 into an 07 suburban and it says its locked. How come why what for? should I build a stand alone harness?
