    Default How many times can you re-flash a PCM?

    Hi, this may be a dumb question, but is there a limit on how many times you can flash an PCM?

    Cheers,

    I don't remember... I think I calculated you can do 10 flashes per day for 27 years... and and it might still have more life.

    It depends on whether the flash chip is rated for 100,000 cycles or 1 million cycles.

    If you somehow use all of cycles in the chip I think it is time for a new ECM it owes you nothing.
