Locked PCM?
How the heck does a PCM get locked? I tried to read my current program in my PCM to lock in the "Base Tune" as of 03/15/06 and the darn PCMs is telling me that it is locked and I need a key or code to inlock it. Hell, I didn't loc the darn thing in the first place!

I know this might sound too simple, but did you select the correct PCM type in the 'PCM TYPE' window. I went to read a 99 Vette and it told me the PCM was locked. I had 98 PCM selected.
I didn't change or select anything different than I normally do. My 98 doesn't give me but 1 option.

We don't even offer locking for 1998's!!

I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
Well, that might be true but I'm staring at this screen when I try to read my PCM.

I may have induced this situation myself. I was in a hurry and not paying attention and asked for a "read". I did not have my ignition key on. It gave me that screen. I cleared the messages, closed the program, re-entered the program, turned on the key asked for the download and got the same screen.
Hey, I'm too stupid to even know HOW to lock it! LOL It's just mad at me! I can update it and change things but it simply won't give me a down load.

Yes and it also says '1999+ V8 PCM Selected'. Select 1998 PCM and it should be okay.
HEY! Where the hell did the 1999+ V8 PCM come from? I haven't screwed with that?
