Well, I got my DME back from Todd today. Flashed the car and went out for a drive. When I got back and checked the codes by using durametric, alot of the compentments have a C150 code (has something to do with communication). PSM and AWD system have a few more like C180 C200 if I remember correctly.

Air bag shows a warning but no code, as well as steer wheel column eletronics.

There's also no warning showing on the dash, just those failures hidden in durametric.

I have cleared those codes a few time, but after a drive they will come back. what do you guys think?

 

Keep in mind durametric swaps first 2 numbers with last 2 numbers on the error code.

Example Durametric shows code P2100 in reality it is P0021.

 

I don't know...At some point, you might want to just invest in a new DME and start over. Suncoast sells them for not that much if I remember correctly.

 

Abby,

Not to worry. I had the same thing happen to me.

Drive it for a few days, take it to a shop that has PIWIS, and then clear the faults with the PIWIS tool.

They will go away and hopefully not return, as is the case with mine.

Cheers,

Karim

 

Thanks for the help guys!
If it keep bugging me, a new DME will be a fresh start.
I will keep driving it for a few days and see if the codes come back. The car drives the same as before; I can't feel any difference but the codes.

 

Even if the codes come back, clear them with PIWIS, not Dura, and then see if they come back. Hopefully they won't.

 

Thanks! Now I have to find a shop that has the PIWIS.

 

Communication errors can occur when the battery has been disconnected, or when you pull the ECU without disconnecting the battery.

Clear them with Durametric and give it some time. They should go away after about 100+ miles.

These errors often pop up while flashing, or if you have the ignition on with no DME plugged in the car.

Clear the codes and check again in 50-100 miles. My guess is they wont be there!

 

Thanks alot guys! I haven't been able to drive it very much after the flash, probably 20 miles. I will drive it for a few days and report back

 

Glad to hear you're up and running again.

 

My car was parked for like 5 days include a weekend. I was lost over that weekend and pretty depressed too..
