    there is no fuse, i am bench flashing it. i read the TIS message about the adapter, don't have it but if you can get me the pinout that would be great. don't know what i am doing wrong, but presumably i am not pinning the blue connector properly. like i said it flashes but doesn't complete correctly. and it's not the ECM bc i have a couple and they act the same.

    ok, i found out this is a known issue. this ECM can't be flashed with J2534 system i am using, presumably only tech2. just wasted so much time on this p-o-s box for nothing...

    thanks anyway.

    I was just about to post that you need to make sure every +12V input to the ECM is connected, sometimes different parts of the ECM's are powered from other inputs.
    But, looks like you found the problem anyway.
    I no longer monitor the forum, please either post your question or create a support ticket.

    I will give you the pinout and then you will see.

    I use other J2534 devices on these.

    CAL ??
    A Calibration method used by GM Powertrain and owned by Delphi
    Delphi publishes a list of known micro/compiler combinations that have been used with CAL ??


    ?? has worked with Delphi to ensure that the output of the ??7 C compilers (Metroworks and Cosmic) comply with CAL ??
    ?? has verified a conversion tool to generate an output file from our ??9 compiler to be used with CAL ??

    OK Then look at this

    this is the EASE system. i am using it. according to EASE themselves, it does not work on siemens. i spoke with them, and it is listed as a known issue:

    but if you say it works with your pinout, email me the pinout and i'll try it...

    what's a Y cable? i am using a blue J1 extension pinned for siemens. i tried it in "off-board" mode using the EASE off-board raw cable (i have it set up for attaching different extensions). and also on-board mode using a bench harness powered by 12v (a la mike's eficonnection.com setup). same deal, flash doesn't terminate properly and cycles back to beginning.

    DLC #2 CL2 goes to pins #18 & #59 BLUE
    DLC #4 & #5 Ground goes to pins # #3, #15, #25 CLEAR and #60 BLUE
    DLC #16 B+ goes to pins #19 & #83 BLUE

    IGN pins are #20 & #21 BLUE

    Active pins are #17, #49, #50, #51, #57 CLEAR (they are all 5V ref)

    After the programing is completed turn the ign off. DO NOT REMOVE B+ UNTIL THE 5V REF IS GONE!

    I have 2 LED lights that stay on and you are not to disconnect the battery or PCM until the lights go out.
