E38 / E67 VATS disable guide

[Yellow05C6]

Not sure it will help; but, on a 2012 OS12653674, this works with out a starter resistor:
G1204 No
G1205 No
G1206 No
G1209 No
G1210 Type 2
G1211 Yes
G1214 3
G1215 1
G1216 No
G1213 No

Remember that your V2 MUST be connected to your laptop BEFORE you open your tune file to do a full flash. Otherwise even if the file recognizes the VATS patch it will not be applied during the flash. I'd also wait until after the tune file is opened before connecting the V2 to the OBD connector.

You should also apply the cooling fan patch to enable fan operation at lower temps.

Thanks for the reply.
Same thing starts and dies after a couple seconds.
Anything else?
Thanks

I'm rarely around when the cars are started (the shop I'm working with is about 300 miles away). As I understand it, this process is to teach the ECM a new security password. G1214 has to do with the number of "on" cycles without engaging the starter. G1215 is about how many seconds the ignition has to be on (w/o engaging the starter) for the events to count. So I believe what the shop guys do is turn the ignition on (no starter) for about 1 second, then off for a few seconds. Then repeat that cycle 2 more times. On the fourth "on", start the car. Again, as I understand it, those on/off cycles alert the ECM that there is a new security password coming. In this case, on the 4th attempt the ECM receives a "blank" security password and thus retains a blank password. Your file above had the relearn timer set to 600 seconds (10 minutes).

I did a compare to an OS I have here and the only security difference I see is G1204 and 1213 are set to yes on my tune. If not try this not tune, it works for me:

Hi, my name is Naf, and i am a sufferer of VATS.

My engine will crank, i have ignition, i have fuel pressure, but no Injector control.

I have a factory car where i swapped the older PCM for the newer ECM. Everything worked till i used a dummy key.

I did everything mentioned in this post minus the never use on G1220. For i have a factory car with a transplanted engine/ECM.

What can i do to gain my injector control again?

My operator error....more info would be helpful. You say you swapped an older factory ECM for a newer ECM. The file you attached is for a 58 tooth ECM is a CTS-V. What "older" ECM used a 58 tooth wheel? Can you provide the old file? Your file has CAN and ABS comms enabled. Are you sure the newer ECM uses the same protocol for those links? Or have you disabled them? Try setting 1208 to Enabled and 1210 to Type 2. You must have the V2 connected to the computer that has the new file on it before actually opening the new file. Use the right most full flash red arrow. A good practice is after the full flash, download the ECM and compare what you think you modified to what is actually in the ECM. Be sure to try 3 non-starts before starting.
