Nate90 Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Hi Everyone, ive recently purchased PCMtec pro software to assist with projects. I do not consider myself very experienced in the area but I go ok with a bit of guidance and have pretty good mechanical knowledge my current vehicle i have built. As some of you seem to have vast knowledge of this stuff I thought I'd ask for some help. Im trying to data log my vehicle but keep running into this issue and unsure how to resolve this issue. I used up 3 credits to license my pcm but cannot access anything. my goal is to tinker with the pcm to suit a heap of new bolt ons and increase the boost and overall smoothen it out a bit. I also want to change the pcm with another one i have as the current pcm isnt grounding fuel/starter relays so suspect the pcm is faulty. How can i resolve this issue im having and will i need to use another 3 credits to be able to use the new pcm i have purchased. much appreciated.

Bill Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) I wouldn’t have licenced a PCM if I thought it was faulty. You have already licenced it, so you might as well correct the corrupted PCM to see if it fixes the fuel/starter issues. It could be a PATS issue or hardware issue. The answer to what you need to do is pretty well described in the error messages in your 2 photos. It looks like your PCM is using OSID HAANF but there are a few strategies that use this OSID. Take a photo of the sticker on the side of the PCM & attach it. This should be enough for me to lookup the strategy. Also provide these details because they will help confirm if the sticker doesn’t Gearbox - manual or auto NA or turbo If correcting the corrupted PCM doesn’t fix the issue, you will need to raise a support ticket & explain what you have done in order for your case to transfer credits to be considered.

Nate90 Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Thanks for the response bill. yeah big mistake on my part using the credits I will definitely be messaging support to see if they can assist. the vehicle is a 4 speed auto and turbo.

Bill Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 32HE is HAAMCH4 but doesn’t match the HAANF OSID. It was superseded by 32HK HAANFH4 & is what I’d use to input as the strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 Thank you bill I was able to access data log. The car has been previously tuned will investigate to see if the tune is causing these faults and limp mode with the vehicle. Hopefully support can assist with the licensing.

Bill Posted Thursday at 01:16 AM Share Posted Thursday at 01:16 AM No worries. Are you able to get a read in recovery mode? That’ll show what’s different to stock & if there’s something changed that might cause your issues. Keeping in mind that the ABU-214 commonly fail & fuel pump fault codes are common. The ABU-244 PCM’s are better but they also suffer from the same issues that affects the 214. Were you able to connect with FORScan? That’ll show what’s would give you fault codes & data logging for the PCM & other modules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted Thursday at 01:53 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 01:53 AM I’m unsure how to read in recovery mode (I’m still trying to learn all this) can you point me in the right direction to do so. Yeah I can access it in forscan I was getting a whole heap of codes. PCM p2105-63 PCMU1900-63 PCM P1131 PCM P1184 PCM PCM P1288 P1650 PCM P2110 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted Thursday at 01:54 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 01:54 AM Attached is some more codes. This is why I’m suspecting a faulty PCM car constantly goes into limp mode when it warms up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted Thursday at 04:01 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:01 AM Select recovery mode from the drop down box, PCM type is Black Oak on BA & read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted Thursday at 05:13 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 05:13 AM I was able to do this it then prompted me to save the copy which I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted Thursday at 06:23 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:23 AM You should be able to open the file & compare it with stock now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate90 Posted Thursday at 06:38 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 06:38 AM So how do I go about getting a stock file of the one I downloaded has already been modified or does it have stock built in if that makes sense, apologies if these are stupid questions but this is all new to me. I went into compare/history then selected the recovered file. I take it all the readings on the navigation section are the ones I would check to see what’s changed? I went through a few items on the left very thing I checked so far is the same as stock I feel like I haven’t done this properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted Thursday at 06:46 AM Share Posted Thursday at 06:46 AM There are some HowTo guides that you should start reading. The forum search feature can also be very handy Usually the differences will show in red in the sidebar & stock will be blue but your’s appear to be all greyed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
