    If I recall this problem can happen if you try to program when the Ignition switch is not on all the way.

    No need to replace the ECM yet as you can still communicate with it.
    Do you have a stock tune you could try to get in there?

    You need to do a full flash with the stock tune. A cal only will not over write a full flash.
