After putting 200 miles on the 996tt in a long daily routine, I came home to find my flash software ready for install. As soon as I finished loading the flash and started the car I get PSM/ABS warning messages. The idle is awful (was perfect), and the garage reaks of gasoline to the point where my eyes hurt while sitting in the car., It is running wayyy rich. Feeling dangerous (anxious), I took the car out to see if it boosted anyway. I only booster .4 bar.

Not 30 minutes earlier I was running .8 bar up to 120 mph on the interstate but as soon as the flash loaded, I was dead in the water. I didn't have any fault codes so I checked the usual suspects... cleaned the MAF, checked all the boost hoses (didnt remove bumper to check top of intercooler), removed battery for 30 minutes, checked battery charge -100%.

It is notable that at mid-day today, the car died at an intersection coming off a spirited acceleration into traffic. I have a 3" exhause with no cats on a tip and I am told this is semi-normal.

Tonight I let the car cool down and started it up again. After 10 minutes of idle, I finally got a CEL code P0600 CAN Time-out - Signal Implausible..

I have never heard of this from anyone here or either of the other sites.. any suggestions at all???

I reloaded the flash with no change at all.

 

check out www.renntech.org they are good with codes.

 

Wait,

so it is obvious that it has something to do with the flash procedure.... maybe you need to re install it? call your tuner? He would know best... put back the original flash it it see what happens... ????
these are the obvious things to do...

 

Yeah, they werent there when I called last night. I did reinstall it with no luck and dont have my stock flash

Im going to repost on the other forums too

thanks guys

 

Car is in limp home mode. ECU is not communicating properly. Get your stock flash and reinstall. Think something is missing from your performance tune.

 

Max--

That definitely isn't right. We left you a voicemail earlier this morning, please give us a ring ASAP so we can get this straightened out for you.

 

Talk about customer service. These guys are great. Robin has located my problem in the software and I should be fully operational when I get home this evening. Cannot freaking wait to get home.

 

All sorted out! HOLY FREAKING SMOKES! I expected a mild gain in power but this is freaking ridiculous. Special thanks to Robin for taking my calls after hours and getting me straight tonight.

This is a new car now and I am totally in love all over again.
