Car wont start after trying to flash to stock

untouchable90 · 29th November 2011, 15:07

Cars meant to be going for a service so i thought i would flash back to stock. Previously uploading maps was not a problem. I deleted all calibrations from the flashpro which when i plugged in was updated to the latest firmware. Uploaded the stock and then went to the car to upload it.

Plugged it in to the OBD port, held down program, the red light came on and the warnins started and then the red light flashed and at this stage it stopped. I have tried a few times and have waited for several minutes but the light just keeps flashing and the car wont start.

Starting to get worried

I have checked all the pins and they appear normal and present.

Below is the error message...

Call Paul at TDI North or CPL Tuning immediately.

They should have the answer..

I have had this before. The map didn't upload to the Flashpro properly (on both slots).

Try reloading the map to the flashpro again, then flash it again.

Cheers for the reply. Unfortunately, I'm an idiot.... Impatient too. I obviously dont remember flashpro taking soo long to upload! I waited it out and it worked just fine.

However I do want to know if i should bother removing my induction kit for the service too? I'm not removing the milltek but I have flashed back to stock so that only leaves the induction kit...

Why would you think it would be a problem? I had everything kept on when I serviced mine. Although they may throw a wobbler with the warrenty if they knew about the Flashpro...

Battery!

Try that.... Mine was near dead and everytime the I went to upload the map it would get "stuck" and wouldnt finish loading.

Get jump leads on the car while you are uploading the map =)

Hope that helps.

Nevermind just read the whole thread.

Dont worry about induction kit UNLESS you want the OEM air filter changed (depending on service I think).

If its not getting changed dont worry about it. My dealer didnt even care about any of my mods... instead they loved the car and even carried out warrenty without informing Honda EU about the mods =)
