    Default Read calibration from PCM locked up and wiped my PCM?

    I was trying to "read calibration data from PCM". At 8:08 the program locked up and quit running. I left it run for 30 minutes wuth the same results so I stopped the process. Now I get the following and my truck won't start. I have searched the forums to no luck.

    Is my PCM wiped clean? When I now try to show calibration details for connected PCm there are no vin #'s or anything anymore. What happened?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Your PCM is ok.

    Please update your software to the latest available here:
    http://www.efilive.com/index.php?opt...=48&Itemid=133

    Download and Install both V7 and V8.
    Use the V7.5 software: EFILive Firmware Programmer to update your FlashScan's firmware to V2.04.72
    Then use the built in option on FlashScan to upgrade the boot block.
    Then use the V8 software: EFILive Control Panel (aka EFILive HAPI) to update the boot block to V2.07.03) and firmware to V2.07.22.
    This document describes the steps in detail:
    Start->All Programs->EFILive->V8->Documents->Upgrading Firmware.

    Regards
    Paul

    I have the issue that is runs like it should and then stops in the last min of reading and then the truck goes to a no start and I have to disconnect the batteries for about a hr and then it is fine. It will not accept a tune as well it just does the same thing and I have had the same tune stuck in the truck for a yr now? Little confused?
