I have a TS style chip, just had it re-burned. After installing it last night (keys out, batteries disconnected, ) the CEL light came on and no WTS. Obviously truck wouldn't start. Removed the keys and and disconnected batteries, removed chip and same thing, CEL and no WTS. AE couldn't communicate with it. I thought the PCM was fried. Checked the harness, no bend pins. WTF?
I emailed gearhead and asked Matt his opinion. I couldn't believe I got a response at 11pm EST. Pretty amazing support if you ask me.:rockon:
He was also stumped as to what was going on, thought PCM was fried.
I went back out to the truck, installed the chip and turned the key on, still CEL and no WTS. Out of frustration I began to pull the chip with the key on, when I grabbed it the CEL went out and the WTS flashed. ?
I started the truck and it ran great. I disconnected everything and tried it with no chip, truck ran. So I wiped everything down again, reinstalled the chip and it's been fine.
No idea what happened. I've done a few installs, nothing was out of the ordinary.
Kudos to Gearhead for the response.
I taped the chip in place and called it good. Truck ran great on the way to work this morning...
