Help needed quickly...I think I f***ed up my car
So I went to code a minor thing (an ASD option) and through an unfortunate mis-click in E-sys, I ended up clicking "Code" on the DME2 unit.
Engine shut down and when I restarted it I'm getting Drivetrain malfunction and fuel system malfunction messages. Then I tried code default values but that didn't fix it either. I'm so freaking out... Can somebody help...please??? |

OK, I think I managed to fix it.
Instead of deleting/masking out this thread I'm going to leave it here in case it helps others in the future. Or at least learn from my stupid mistake. First things first, there is just one DME group and it's called DME2. No more confusion about that. So, I was reading this thread which suggested clicking the Detect CAF for this SWE button. Unfortunately in my case, this button was grayed out, and I had no CAFD entry in the DME2 group. Then I proceeded to Load SVT, and browsed to my backup from last year (lucky I had one). That magically inserted the missing CAFD into the group, then I right clicked and hit Code. (During this time, I had my engine off and sourced power from my truck via a jump cable.) At the end of this, I was left with a simple Check Engine light. So I disconnected the whole E-Sys rig and hooked up my generic OBD2 diagnostic tool and saw a U1187 error code. (I think it means something like "primary ID missing".) I cleared this error code and everything seems fine now, after complete restart. I hope the error code was just from memory and it won't come back. I may have dodged this bullet, fingers crossed. Moral of the story: read twice, click once. |

You never ever click "code default values" |

Did the same thing a few days ago haha, if you have any lingering issues they should clear up in a day or two. Took a bit for my errors to clear.
