Check the wire from the chip to the switch, make sure its not kinked or pinched, and check for exposed wires, been having some of the same issues so let know what you find out

Will do! I wasn't able to get ahold of DP today but will try again tomorrow.

You have any luck with this yet?

We are still working on it. DP has been good to deal with, its just taking a little time. PCM is clean and chip and switch are getting power. Might be sending it back.

I'm thinking that's probably going to be what fixes it. My guess is it was burned for the wrong code....but totally shooting in the dark there.

I had the same sounding issue as you back a few years ago when I switched from a F5 to a F6. Jody had to flash my XLE4 PCM to make it work. With the F5 it worked fine. There was just something about the XLE4 PCM that the F6 did not like...

chris1978, thanks this is good info to have for the next time I talk with DP Tuner. So it worked only sometimes then?

chris1978 · Jan 26, 2012

It would start once and run fine then when you shut it down, it would not restart. Put the F5 back in and all good. Once he flashed the PCM the F6 worked fine.

Yea, thats exactly what mines doing! What kind of turnaround was it to get that PCM back?

revolvingsteel · Jan 31, 2012

Chip is getting sent back to get a firmware upgrade. I will let you know when I get it back!

Got the chip back with the firmware upgrade and she works like a charm! Actually it works better. The shifts feel way better than before. I guess it was a blessing in disguise!
