Re: One Dead ECM

Subject: Re: One Dead ECM

Ok... back with an update.

About 6 weeks ago, I sent the ECM back to SIA for additional work. It was still throwing the SYS error and codes C41 - lost serial data connection.

Since this started, 93moneypit loaned me a spare ECM he had, and with my chip (OEM), a-ok, no problems!!

I then ordered an ECM off of eBay from Scoobthecoreman. And it works PERFECTLY with my OEM chip.

I got the ECM back from SIA about a month ago, but the move has been crippling... all my tools were an absolute mess, but they are now about 90% in order. Look'n great! I was able to finally retest that re-returned and supposedly ok ECM.

According to the note they stuck to it, there were no issues, the Tech II was able to communicate with it just fine and the diagnostics found nothing wrong.

I think we are at something of an impasse. I put my chip back in and reconnected the ECM to the harness... nada... SYS flashing, no start.

My problem is simple... They will stick to there story, and I will stick to mine. I know I am right, but I wish, short of spending money at the local Chevy dealer, I could validate my position. Hell, someone with a camcorder making a movie to prove I am doing everything correctly... one shot, no pauses... just 20 min of video.

I am tempted to eat it at this point and move on... I don't foresee myself winning this and as it is, I still have a suspect ECM to use as core if they ever DO come back on the market.
