Most that come in our shop are dead and scan tool will not communicate.But, they will read with EFI live, so, I just read,key off, install new TCM, key on and license, then full flash with all zeros for vin and it works like a charm.

Is there some significance in using zeros???

They are not vin or vehicle specific. You can swap them from vehicle to vehicle.
To my understanding, as a slave device, the TCM VIN coding portion is not important or relevant.

Has anyone successfully done a full read on a T14A TCM that was flashed by GM and able to flash a new blank T14A without gm/TIS software and only using EFILive?
This is the replacement for a A40 the new OS is 24256580
Also curious if someone was successful doing the same with a T14?
Thanks

Would you be willing to share the stock file? So you were able to actually do a full read then and also did it take a hour for the read just like the A40?

Maybe I am misunderstanding something here, I don't ever remember it being a pain in the ass or taking 1 hr to read. I have done them with TIS and also read out the original and swapped in the new module and flashed the original read with EFI. I even have my autocal guy's reading and writing with EFI. You really don't want just any ol stock file, it need's to be correct or you will brick the new controller. As long as both modules are labeled T14 then I check cal id by vin and match that up with same .ctz file never had a problem. I think EFI has a sanity check now to help when flashing. Send me your vin and I will see if I have correct match for you.
On the A40's EFILive would only read out the calibration part because of the read time to get the full flash and out of the 3-4 OS only one of them would finish successfully. You had to remove/add a script in the program file to even do the full read here is the link to the thread.

I haven't had any trouble full flashing T14 files back in new blank T14's on the 11 up trucks you get the full read on those anyways. The trouble is when needing to replace a A40 on the 06-08 trucks your only option now is either a T14A or a used TCM. This thread below explains it better than I could ever type it out.

Thanks for the help Mike the vin is 1GCHK23DX6F224146 and the new TCM is a T14A, I have a full read of the original A40 but it cant be used for the new one. I would be willing to pay for the file if people are able to full flash them successfully.

It will be best to use Tis. There is several different hardware/software combinations for that vin.
