THE DEMON POSSESSED PKE THAT I FONDLY THOUGHT HAD KAMIKAZED A YEAR AND A HALF AGO AROSE FROM THE DEAD YESTERDAY.

I STARTED TO MUSKOGEE TO PICK UP DARLING WIFE; PKE LIGHT POPPED UP ON DIC WHEN I STARTED THE BUMBLEBEE. AFTER IT LOCKED THE DOORS AND POPPED THE HATCH LID OPEN TWICE BEFORE I GOT TO THE HIGHWAY, I CAME BACK HOME, SHUT IT DOWN. WHEN I PULLED OUT THE KEY, THE DIC MESSAGE REMAINED LIT WITHOUT THE KEY EVEN IN THE IGNITION. PUT THE KEY BACK IN; MESSAGE WENT OUT. THIS MORNING AS SOON AS I STUCK THE KEY IN THE IGNITION THE HATCH POPPED OPEN. CLOSED IT; DROVE TO FT GIBSON, MADE ONE STOP, CAME HOME WITHOUT FURTHER PSYCHIC PHENOMENA.

APPOINTMENT WITH THE EXORCIST MONDAY. THE FOB, BTW, WAS IN THE BOTTOM OF MY GUNSAFE WHERE IT HAS RESIDED SINCE THE LAST PSYCHOTIC EPISODE I8 MONTHS AGO. I'M THINKING A STAKE THROUGH THE HEART MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE.

Try removing the battery from the FOB.

That's the best solution... but driving a stake might be more fun.

THE FOB, AS NOTED ABOVE, HAS NOT BEEN NEAR THE CAR FOR 18 MONTHS.

The FOB sounds like a real SOB. I will have to research to see if you can disable the pke.

TOOK THE BUMBLEBEE TO THE EXORCIST THIS MORNING. MY IDEA, AS MATTHEW SUGGESTED WAS JUST TO UNPLUG THE DAMN THING. DAVID THE MECHANIC FEARS THAT WOULD GIVE RISE TO A CASCADE OF COMPUTER GENERATED PROBLEMS, CODES, WARNINGS, ETC.

MATT, IF YOU COME UP WITH A WAY TO DISABLE THE PKE WITHOUT UNWANTED SEQUELAE SING OUT, PLEASE.

THE OP-PLAN AT PRESENT IS TO MAKE IT WORK RIGHT, TURN IT OFF, AND RETURN THE FOB TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GUNSAFE.

As is often the case with GRIS, I learned a new word today ;-)

WELL, PLENTY OF OLD, ANGLO SAXON WORDS WERE IN USE WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR. THEY COULD NOT MAKE IT MALFUNCTION. EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING CORRECTLY. "IF THE HATCH POPS OPEN AGAIN BRING IT STRAIGHT IN TO ME". THIS IS NOT THE RESULT I WANTED.

SO THE BUMBLEBEE IS IN THE BARN, THE PKE IS TURNED OFF, THE FOB IS BACK IN THE BOTTOM OF THE GUNSAFE, AND I AM AWAITING THE NEXT VISITATION.

DAVID DIDN'T BILL ME FOR THE STRIKE OUT, HE'S PRETTY GOOD ABOUT STUFF LIKE THAT. OF COURSE HE KNOWS I'LL BE BACK---

For right now try pulling fuse #26 to disable the PKE. I would have to look further through FSM stuff, etc to see if the whole module can be removed.

I'M GOING TO TRY THIS NEXT TIME I DRIVE THE BUMBLEBEE. THANKS MATT.

I don't think it can be... the CCM would have a cow.

Quote:

DO YOU MEAN PULLING THE FUSE OR REMOVING THE WHOLE MODULE?

removing the module... I would have to check for sure.

But the CCM monitors all sorts of things. SYS flashing on the IP gets annoying.

ROGER THAT!
