Will it need returing to CAPA for unlocking? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21457-pcm-replaced/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started doing it even with the std map installed.Impatient, pulling plug early, think not. One thing I have noticed is that the instructions state " LED's flashing from inner to outer data going one way, LED's flashing from outer to inner data flowing the other way". This does not happen with mine. They all flash from inner to outer but speed changes!PCM is being replaced due irregular codes appearing."Just sounds funny that they've had their PCM replaced after using the flash."Maybe these flashers "in some cases" are damaging the PCM's.

This does not happen with mine. They all flash from inner to outer but speed changes!That does happen, but only the first time you flash. When the box is downloading your factory tune the lights do the other way. From then on it is only ever uploading/overwriting whatever program is in the PCM so the lights just flash in the appropriate direction.

I've reloaded it again and it seems to perform better! Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21457-pcm-replaced/#findComment-317885 Share on other sites More sharing options...
