    Default Help with first COS upgrade

    Hi,

    I have a hot LS1 with ITBs and want to use the COS5 for its TPS VE capabilities

    If I understand correctly I have to full reflash the 12225074 OS File and than reflash the original tune file on top, however I cannot find the 12225074 OS.

    Can someone help me? Its an automatic.

    THANKS!

    Regards,
    Paulo

    Ok that wasn't so hard... I found it here

    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4ydh5wltk...+12225074).tun

    My car currently has a 09381344 OS so not compatible with the upgrade. I believe I need to copy the tables to the 12225074 File but there are many tables that don't match, more parameters, etc... Is this a problem or should I just change what I can and leave the rest alone?

    Regards,
    Paulo

    This is what I do:

    I flash in the new OS and see if the engine runs... most times it runs reasonably...

    the few that it runs poorly I then tune it a little and/or copy the tables that are significantly different...

    either way, it's going to be tuned again with COS5.

    Joecar,

    Thanks yet again for your help- however cannot full flash either the 1222507 or the COS5 - it just does not allow me to select the full flash button.

    Any idea why that is?

    If 12225074 was not read from PCM then the PCM is not 0411...

    part # 12200411 PCM.


    If 09381344 was read from your PCM, then 12225074 should flash right in...

    try again doing full flash of 12225074... post screenshot.
