    Default Clearing trouble code on auto cal

    Received an auto cal yesterday and got code 0208. I had a wrong file on the auto cal. I recalibrated and did a data log just fine. Not sure how to clear the 0208 code out of the auto cal though. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

    For AutoCal support please contact your tuner (person who supplied you with the device). The $0208 error is "interesting" though, are you sure it wasn't a $0280? A $0280 means "Unsupported protocol (i.e. no vehicle detected)". The recommend actions are:
    - Check all cables and connections.
    - Make sure ignition is turned on to the run position.
    - Make sure the vehicle is supported by EFILive.

    Sorry, yes. 0280. Everything works fine now. Just have the code still and wanted to clear it from the box and can't figure out how.

    The $0280 just means it isn't finding the car. Is the ignition in the car on, or at the accessory position if attempting to read/flash?

    The error is not permanent it should go away by simply pressing the Prev button on the keypad (I'd expect).

    I had originally downloaded the wrong calibration to the handheld and it had issues reading my data log. I recalibrated to the correct options for my truck and sent my data log to black bear. Just waiting for their email asking wha I want to do. The 0280 is still in the auto cal though and I can't figure out how to clear it out. I have hit previous, next, ok on the code and no way to clear it. I though maybe it was done in the efi explored or something......hence my post here.

    It has been unplugged for the last day and a half and code is still in the box. Nobody knows how to clear it?

    Are you talking about error code $0208 on your AutoCal, or DTC P0208 on your ECM...?

    Can you take a pic of where you're seeing this error and post it here.

    It's the $ error code in the auto cal. It came up when I did my first data log. I found that I had the wrong file loaded for my 6 speed tranny. I was sent the new file and recalibrated it into the auto cal. Auto cal still had the code (not cleared). Went and did my new data log and everything went fine and uploaded the file and sent it to be looked at. I cleared the data logs off the handheld to save space since they are saved in my tuning file on my computer. Error code is still on auto cal though and I can't clear it. Make sense?
