    Where the numbers refer to the date/time that the trace file was created.
    If the trace file exists, please email it to me paul@efilive.com.

    Are you able to log data from the PCM - i.e. do any communications between FlashScan and the PCM work?

    Thanks for the reply!

    Something got upset and it all stopped working. I disconnected the batteries. For four hours I tried every possible option - reading or test flashing with the ignition key in various positions. I finally got to a place where the Scan tool wouldn't read anything and the flash tests just failed.

    Disconnected the batteries and let it set. Reconnected and all seemed fine.

    So, tried one last time. This time I de-selected the option for a high speed link. Now a flash with the current tune in Test mode finally worked!

    So, I think I finally learned enough to be dangerous.

    I have a tune file to load. It's for use with a DSP5. Do I do a flash, or a complete program with OS?

    Truck is 2004.5 LLY that I bought new - so I know it has never been reprogrammed by anyone but my dealer.

    I pulled the fuse to my radio with aftermarket adapter so it's not on the bus, then did a slow speed load of OS and tuning file. It all worked perfectly. Thanks for the help!

    These things always cause problems, you'll probably have to do this everytime you flash.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.
