V7.1.9 Build 198 - Cal 481.


Flashed my SS over 30 times now just testing and this is a first.

Started the car and let it run for a few minutes, turned it off. Turned on the car, waited more then 15 seconds, started the flash and it connected just fine but then got the to calculating time and just slowed to a crawl. The time which normally is 30 seconds jumped to 3 minutes then 4, clicking off 1k at a time while the time increased each 1k uploaded.

I chose to stop it and the car was obviously not happy.

Attempted to start - doa.

I reran the flash and it immediatly noted that the PCM required repair and asked to continue. Which I did, this time it took about 1:00 minutes to upload the flash and everything was fine.

Pros: Flashscan did as advertised, it did not kill my PCM and was able to fix/recover it.

Question: Anyone know what happened? I did nothing different then I have over the other uploads?

Also this build appears to be taking longer to upload the flashes now, used to be 30 seconds, now its taking me 1 minute.

Discovered the same problem flashing my SS during beta testing. It is fixed in the next public release and it will flash the PCM in 27 seconds. :)
