Help with BM3 flash tune error

ecitizen · 01-07-2019, 08:47 PM

I just did my first flash tune. Just flashed the Stage 1, 91 Octane to start. FLash worked fine but when I started up I got a fuel system error. Tried the online recode button but just fails to connect and says try again or make sure i have a stable internet connection which I do. I submitted a ticket but it's late so thought I would see if anyone on the forum knows how to fix it. I tried flashing again and the flash was successful but I continue to have the error.

With the fuel system error, does this mean the tune isn't on and is it ok to drive it until fixed? Any thoughts on how to fix this before I wait until tomorrow for PTF to respond?

I got that error, but the online recode fix it for me. The PTF guys are great, they’ll get you fixed up soon.

If I had to guess the tune is on the car, and the error message is just annoying. I don’t know for sure, tho.

Well, after flashing it the 3rd or 4th time and changing to a different router, it worked. No idea why but it's good to go. Power increase is very subtle for stage 1 so looking forward to getting the FMIC installed and going to stage 2. Burbles are more noticeable for sure!

Thanks all.

Yeah, Stg 1 91 will be subtle. Still great that you can turn off cold start, ASD, and play with the burbles.

You’re in VA, surely you have 93 around you? Or ethanol to try 91 + E85?

I actually moved to AZ and can't seem to find 93 octane--kind of annoying.

How do I turn off cold start and ASD?

Stinks about the AZ fuel.

Those settings are on the Diagnostics tab.
