2008 duramax U7186 update troubles

Post by martinouellette »

hi guys
I tried loading the towing tune in my 2008 duramax after the new update 9r15
I initially let the programmer download a backup of my ECU, then started the towing flash. The tune seemed to be loading fine, but after a couple minutes it said there was an error loading the program into the truck's ECU.

It said that it would restore the original tune. However, it failed to restore the initial tune as well. Clicking the info button showed the message: "ECM: Error unlock for reflash (-1)".

Is their a way I can fix this somehow??
I got a 2008 duramax 6.6L
U7186 predator
Thanks

Hi Mike, just a heads up but the Diablosport download section for the U7186 still shows the latest version as 9r15.
Need to update this :-)

you have a duramax?
Sounds like they were under the impression that it was a gas truck, what revision is the Predator on currently?

could a low voltage at the obdII port affect the predator when loading a tune? Maybe the predator draws too much power and can't complete the tune loading. After the update 9r15 I noticed the tuner was taking a lot more time to load and operate.
