Rays B4U Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I've bought a PCMFORLESS tune and noticed when I put it in that it had a PCMFORLESS sticker on it and also my last name written in marker on it. Does the dealer take out the PCM to reflash it if you take it in for warranty or do they hook up thier Tech2 scanner some other way? I've been thinking if they take out the PCM to reflash it then I probably should remove the sticker and my name from the PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadowns Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 I would not worry about the PCM with your name on it. there are very few waranty issuses that require a reflash. The Tech II connects in OBDI connector at the left of your steering column. So I say just !! CD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m396 #00-011 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 1st off, don't let the dealer reflash it, because you'll loose your tune. Most dealers load updates through a Tech II connected to the OBD port under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdsub72 Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 The Tech II connects in OBDI connector at the left of your steering column. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Isn't it the OBDII connector. OBD I was replaced in 96 by OBD II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tawss04 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 If you take it to the dealer for a warranty problem such as a driveability issue (engine or tranny concern) they will check for up dated pcm calibrations and will reflash it. That is usually the first step. When I worked at the dealer i would check for the updates. If you have problem and need to take it in let them know it was reprogrammed, it will not affect your warranty, dont let them tell you it will.

chiel Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 with hptuners you can make an copy of your tune before you bring it to the dealer. this way you can always but it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rays B4U Posted April 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm more concerned about warranty hassles with the dealer than losing my custom tune, Bryan will reflash it for $50, so that's not an issue. But if I can avoid a big hassle with the dealer by just removing the sticker and my name I think that it would be better to do that than possibly spending days or weeks fighting over warranty issues because they saw my name and Bryan's sticker on it.
