FrankyGTR · 10-14-2014, 05:02 PM

i was reinstalling the proced rev3 and i mixed up some connectors and started the car,it ran like shit threw some codes and was making weird ecu noises,so i decided to remove and start over,but now its back to stock and the car wont start it just keeps turning over,i have checked and rechecked connections to no avail.
possible i fried the dme??
any help would be appreciated

If it uses the adapter harness like JB4, then check that you put the connectors back correctly into the right slots. Then check that those connectors are seated onto the DME correctly with the slide locks. If its not mated, it won't start in either scenario with or without procede.

Try removing the procede all together. Happened to me once the harness wasn't seated quite right.

x2, I'd make sure ALL of the factory connectors are re-installed in the right slots, seated properly, and the main connectors are all seated in firmly.

Also, make sure you put the power connection back into the right location on the connector.

DJtoad · 10-14-2014, 07:34 PM

Also make sure you didn't bend any pins.

335NJ · 10-14-2014, 07:39 PM

Also make sure the car has gas

FrankyGTR · 10-14-2014, 07:40 PM

i did all of that at least 5 times but i will try some more tomorrow.like a noob i removed the harness from the dme while the battery was connected.i hope i did not brick it

I'm not 100% sure about PROcede, but the JB4 only requires you to let the DME "Sleep" by removing key, shutting doors, and letting car sit for at least 10 minutes, before disconnecting the connectors, etc. Comfort Access will require you to have the key out of range from the car.

Also check all of your fuses, maybe you blew one somehow.

JamesM3M5 · 10-14-2014, 09:47 PM

Orange wire power pin in the green plug - if it is not installed straight, it can bend and miss the other end. Also make sure that it's not in the wrong slot.

FrankyGTR · 10-15-2014, 09:08 AM

removed everything then re-installed and still just turning over.not too sure where to go from here

SM335i · 10-15-2014, 10:07 AM

Had similar problem, unplug your battery and let it sit for 20 mins, plug back in, it will reset and should start!

Did you check your fuses yet? Also as stated before disconnecting the battery would be worth a shot

no i have not other then the red one in the ecu box and its good,i will look at other fuses later today.and if that doesnt work ill buy a multimeter to test the power in the 2 orange wires

caliguy562 · 10-15-2014, 11:29 AM

Did you check your car for codes? My guess is a blown fuse. Not sure what year your car is, but it's either a 15 or 20 amp fuse under the hood or behind the glove compartment.

My thinking would be since the ECU never went to sleep if you didn't let the car sit, maybe you shorted a hot wire and it blew a fuse for the fuel pump or something. That's common on many cars.

FrankyGTR · 10-15-2014, 02:53 PM

ok so i have re checked the connectors and yellow power wires,along with all fuses in the glove box and they are all good.

no codes at all. i need to know what fusses to look at but im pretty sure i checked all of them

335NJ · 10-15-2014, 04:09 PM

The fuse inside the ECU box is completely seated correct?

yea,i must of removed it and put it back at least 5 times

jwilliams · 10-15-2014, 04:43 PM

It looks like your orange power wire is not seated in the green socket all the way. Try removing it and reinstalling that wire. I had this issue when removing mine a few weeks ago.

sudo4re · 10-15-2014, 04:48 PM

I had the same problem when I was installing my JB4. Turned out I did not put one of the four big plugs coming out of the DME back in the correct slot. If you are having a hard time sliding the retainers in to lock the plugs into the DME then you might have put one of the plugs in wrong. The retainer will lock and all the plugs will looked like they are seated correctly but the car won't start. Once I figured out my momentary lapse of reason and switched the plugs around, my car fired right up. Talk about a great sigh of relief...
