Is it a big deal if a door was open during tuning?

I just restored my original tune and realized that the door wasn't shut all the way. Everything seemed to go fine, but I read in the manual that you should keep the doors shut during the tune. Could this be a problem?

I'm pretty sure that's just moreso a safety precaution regarding the power circulation through the vehicle (minimizing chance of surge or hiccups). If the tune completed successfully, you probably shouldn't worry.

Thanks. Just kinda freaked out. Transmission went today and I'm taking it to the dealer. Don't want any problems.

as long as you didn't get any errors, and everything went smoothly, you got lucky and are ok...

wouldn't consider myself lucky, but didn't get any error messages. Said it completed and told me to unplug the tuner.

Do you think the dealer will give me any crap about the flashing of the ecm? Is there anything they can do about it?

before you ever go to the dealer for any service work, you want to "restore original backup" so that the predator reinstalls the original stock GM tune back to the vehicle...

that way, the dealer will never know that you ever flashed the ecm and had a tune in it...

Awesome. That's what I was doing. It's set back to the original now. Thanks for your help. It's a TBSS and I know others have had problems with the transmissions. I don't want the tune to be blamed for the crappy transmission. If they can't see that it was ever tuned, that is great.

the only thing they can see that can give you away are how many key cycles the vehicle has done since the last flash...but only if you give them a reason to look and they are being anal about things. whatever you do NEVER ADMIT TO ANYTHING! what you say CAN and WILL be held against you

but honestly, don't sweat it

Better luck on the the next tranny

Funny since the Predator doesnt have TCM support. It cant modify anything in your transmission even if you wanted it to.

yeah, but it does make the engine deliver more power/torque to the tranny...
