no good, does same thing.
Are you getting an error message? What Line is it if you are?
yes, after it cycles 2nd time. more than one line, i didn't check. i'll try again later tonight and post.
all 2000 to 2003 FWD Northstar PCM's interchangeQuote:
2000-2001 Cadillac Controllers - A communication error may occur at the end of the reprogram in the TIS software. If you receive this error once the progress bar goes to 100% you will not be able to reprogram this controller.
The 2000 to 2003 could not be programmed in the car until the MDI came around. Some times the MDI will fail on the first attempt, but goes through on the second. If you use the MDI and the J45211 it works ok the first time.Quote:
1999-2003 Corvettes & Cadillacs - GM Requires that a Star Adapter be used during reprogramming the PCM in-vehicle. The controller can be reflashed Off-Board without any problems. Check any TSB's on the vehicle to be sure it requires the adapter.
The issue with doing it in the car is 80% with the PKIII system. If you unplug it the program goes through
i know about the interchange, it is not stated correctly. what is MDI? thanks.
So the LS1 pcm can control a N*?
s10mods come on now :doh2:
The LS1 PCM was used on a 99 Northstar FWD engine in a RWD application from the factory. This was a very small run of a car.
The 2000 Northstar is very different from the 99 engine. The Crank sensors are different and the reluctor ring is cut different. The 2000+ are COP also
In 2006 they redesigned the FWD engine again and uses a single crank sensor, the cam sensor is moved to the intake cam from the exhaust and it uses a E67 ECM
93 to 99 engines are similar 93 to 95 are SD and have no MAF. You can adapt and 93 to 99 to run on the 99 LS1 program and PCM
I knew that what I ment was what did they come from the factory on? what vehicle was RWD with the N* and LS1 pcm? if it was from the factory that way, I wanted to look up the wiring diagrams for that vehicle.
Ross thanks for the help on the XLR stuff. I wasn't told that the engines were older. Maybe a year ago I was. Anyway I guess he is looking for some new T-bodies
Thank You for the welcome!....Great forum and website!....however?...I may be in over my head???....I just picked up an 01 deville dhs for what i think is going to be another hobby car! This car/engine is like from another planet!....lol... Think maybe i should just stick with my 1985 307 riviera?
I just got car, ran a scan and appears I have to inspect or change crankshaft sensors. code po 336 came up with service soon light.
car starts runs (fast/slow idle) about 5 minutes, and shuts down.... to re-start you have to turn key off and will then run for hours.
I would appreciate any info on how to clean/change sensors or any advice as to if i'm on the right track?
Regards,
Danny
Hi Danny, do you get any other DTC's, like VAT/VTD...?
Only codes i get are po 336,340,341,385,410 and 401 (exhaust gas recirculation insuffiecient flow detected
You need some crank sensors.
Look on the Cadillac Owners forum for a how to. Do a search.
hello everyone, I am new to this site and hopefully found some help. It seems that it has been a few years since this topic was opened. has anybody worked out a simpler controller for the northstar? I have a 2000 4.6 with 4t80 into a VW beetle. had original PCM reprogrammed to run, and it does run!! I would like to install a different PCM that can be easily modified by the local tuning shop. nobody seems to be able to crack this 00 to 04 version. has anyone had success running a newer PCM for only engine and trans control???
Thanks for the update A.J, I wondered how far you got with those PCM's.
