Can turn vats off and start etc but can't perform a relearn? I have tried with V7.5 and through DVT. Car is Holden commodore VE and ECU is E38 and I can only seem to replace ECUs if vats is disabled or unless relearn is done with tech 2 with sps approval.
While I realise the ECU needs to be programmed with tech 2 first, Will EFILive relearn or relink vats if the correct OS and tune is already on the ECU i.e 2nd hand replacement ECU sourced from wreck which is identical?
There isn't much info to guide you when you attempt to do a relearn/relink, what key cycles etc are required if any and is there a confirmation supposed to let you know if the relearn succeeded?
Hopefully others need to know this, perhaps anyone who has worked on mail order tunes will have an answer. I suspect vats off is the only answer without tech 2 but want to confirm.
Thanks,
Mark
