    Default Problem Flashing Pcm

    Well I have been havin a problem tryin to flash my pcm in my 2000 Silvy. First time I tried flashing the truck it went fine till about 45 secs the flashing stopped and said there was checksum error. I will try and reflash truck and it tells me invalid calibration and quits. Then truck wont restart. This has cost me a license since I had to get a new pcm since pcm wasnt in deadpoll but was actually dead. Second time same thing happened but dealer was able to just reflash pcm. Has anyone ever had a problem like this? I have a LS1 bench harness and was going to try and flash it that way but why cant I flash it in truck? Well any help is appreciated, Thanks

    What would help us the most to track down the problem is a copy of the trace log file of the failed reflash, from the folder:
    \My Documents\EFILive\V7\Bug Reports.

    The file will be called YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS_download.blx where
    YYYY is the year
    MM is the month
    DD is the day
    HH is the hour
    MM is the Minute
    SS is the second
    when you performed the reflash that failed.

    Regards
    Paul

    Well today i did a full flash with my bench harness and it worked fine. I had to relfash my stock tune because after shop had done a flash I was getting a trouble code P1631. After I did that I tried to flash a tune into the pcm and it tells me I need to license pcm. Why do I have to relicense the pcm?

    Paul, just a thought, but would it be possible to implement the ability to input your own serial number if this happens, such as taking the number off the label on the PCM and entering that? Not sure if it really matters,but just a thought.
